Territorial Government
( Continued from pa Re
Territry should be within some boun
dary set out and designated.
Paternalism Creates Unnecessary
Expense.
The history of the Circle Camp be
fore Dawson days, the Koyukuk and
other isolated places give abundant
example that the people themselves
if let alone will provide a pretty de
cent sort of government for themsel
ves and once given th eopportunity to
develop all localities within the terri
tory will commence to function as all
America in the past has functioned,
functioned, not by direction from long
distance, but by elective rule close at
hand that has developed the frontiers
of the United States better and fas
ter than the frontiers of any other
country on earth.
Available Data To Work With.
It might be asked in wrhat way
i would the Federal Government arrive
I at the amount necessary to be ap
j propriated to Alaska until she got at
least partially over her growing pains?
Just let that bunch at Washington
add up the amounts that it appropri
ates for its many mis directed activi
ties in the land that Seward bought
and budget the people up here just
a good proportion of that amount and
they will get the best run for their
money that they ever got North of
52.
Simplicity Needed.
One of the things that stands out
to the notice here that was lacking
in the other territories is how the
appointive officers up his way ‘of
ficer’ clear up to the limit and with
what simplicity men holding similar
positions performed their duties in
other territories.
Here the Deputy Marshal is just a
deputy arshal; there the sheriff was
usually a liveryman, farmer or engag
ed in some other line of endeavor and
what was true of that officer was in
a large way true of all other county
officers. Practicaly none of them gave
nor was it necessary for them to give
all their time and attention to the of
fice they held. In nearly every case
these men had other visable means
of support.
Let's Do It.
ity to get this full territorial gov
ernment scheme under way and no
man should be sent to the legislature
who is not In favor of such a pro
gram.
We have tried all the other schemes
that has been sent to us in the carpet
bag and they have all been found
wanting.
The plans that were tried out in
the other territories were successful
and ours has been a failure and the
time is now ripe to make the switch.
Long distance government has never
worked successfully and it never will.
If Alaska is to be a success it must
be made so by people who live and
have their interests in the Territory
any outsider who wishes to share in
our government may do so by coming
Imre, there’s plenty of room.
Beware of the people who talk state
hood at this ti n*—there is no chance
of Alaska getting her statehood
for n.any years as we are not envj
lied to it. But in the other territories
the most vital ri cations wen a
by the people in their territorial gov
ernment, even tbs question being
slave or free ana all important qin s
tions may be set vied here in lAuska
by Alaskans if v.e put our snout Ims
to the wheel and improve the ifpoi
tunity that one of the big parties of
the nation have put in our way.

service with the delivery last week of i
three of the fast rum chasers built by j
the navy at Bremerton. Tests show
that the three ships made a speed of
twenty-four miles an hour, and, ac
cording to Captain F. G. Dodge, Se
attle district commander of the guard
service, they will be able to exceed
that speed. A total of twenty-eight
cruisers, armed with machine guns
and one pounders are to be used in
the service.
According to Captain Dodge, five
of the seven “big” international rum
runners who have been operating in
Northwest waters were forced out of j
business in July and August and he
asserts that the two others will be ]
put out of commission within a short I
time.
Of the new anti-rum fleet, thirteen
boats will be thirty-six feet long. Fif
teen will be seventy-five feet long.
According to Captain Dodge the
fasters rum runner with a full car
go, can make only about twenty or
more miles an hour, though running
light some of them are said to make
a much greater speed than that. With
machine guns and one pound rifles
introduced, Captain Dodge declares a
boat making fifty miles cannot get
through a cordon of twTenty-eight ves
sels that will be in service within a
short time .
“We have killed one liquor smug
gler, seriously wounded one other, and
have shot up five other booze boats
in the past ten days,” said Captain
Dodge. “This has been done w’ith
only four slow boats. With the new
boats we will start to take over this
week there will not be a drop of liq
uor come into Puget Sound. Our ves
sels will be too fast, too well-armed
and too numerous for the smugglers.
We will have twenty-eight speedy
chasers in the fleet.”

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
