THE ALASKA FAIR
With home rule, a serviceable wagon road to the coast and
a government-owned railroad from tidewater to the Yukon,
what could be more appropriate than the proper celebration of
the fiftieth anniversary' of Alaska’s purchase? It may seem a
far cry to talk of fairs five years hence, but time passes quickly
in the North, and the next five years in Alaska will be so filled
with progress that the semi-centennial of 1917 will be upon us
before we realize it. Alaska, in all truthfulness, mayr be said to
have just started to go ahead, notwithstanding the fact that
the placer yield in some localities has declined somewhat dur
ing the past season or two. The country no longer is wholly
dependent upon its placers for support. The quartz era is at
hand, and by the time the interior country is on a permanent
hard rock basis and cheaper transportation is secured, the vast
areas of low-grade placer, now untouched, will be opened up,
and the output in gold alone will exceed the predictions of the
most enthusiastic of the optimists. And by' that time also the
coal fields will have been thrown open for development, and
with the increase in population that naturally will result, there
will follow other industries, which will add to the general
prosperity' of the territory', and create a further justification of.
the proposed celebration. There may' be other towns that will
seek to secure the exposition, but Fairbanks is first in the field
and first in importance in the territory'. The commercial club
has started the ball rolling; it is up to the people of the camp
now to render such assistance as may be necessary to insure the
success of the undertaking.—Fairbanks Times.

JUST A LITTLE MUDDLED
Our Valdez contemporary is all worked up over what it
fears will be an irregularity upon the part of the Republican
national convention. It says:
“It is reported from the outside that Jafet Lindeberg nev
er intended to go to Chicago as a delegate from Alaska to the
Republican national convention. He was elected at Cordova
merely to let ex-Govemor Hoggatt in as his proxy. Ye gods!
Think of Hoggatt as a delegate from Alaska. It is contrary
to all precedent to admit proxies to a national convention. The
rule is to admit only regularly accredited delegates and alter
nates. The outcome is awaited with interest.”
Our friend to the westward seems to overlook the fact that
the recent Republican convention at Cordova authorized the
delegates from Alaska to name the alternates. And if Mr.
Lindeberg is unable to attend the national convention as a
delegate and desires that Mr. Hoggatt should attend, the lat
ter will not go as a proxy delegate, but rather as a regularly
empowered alternate.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Maps displayed in the Seattle Chamber of Commerce show
that Sweden, Norway and Finland, in the same latitude and
with about four-fifths of the area of Alaska, maintain a popula
tion of more than 10,000,000, as against 64,000 ip the American
territory. If the time ever comes when political opportunists
can no longer bar the road to development of the American
section, its farms, mines and cities will furnish a population
that will not be so striking an indictment of our republican
government. . , . , »•&!#• M
The Valdez Miner calls attention of the forthcoming grand
jury to the road tax frauds of 1911 and advises that an inves
tigation be made of the manner of collecting this tax during
the year 1910 in the Chitina precinct.
There is considerable discussion of the home rule bill as
passed by the House of Representatives. It was published last
week in the Daily Alaska, and now pretty much everybody
is wondering wherein Alaska gets off. The bill seems to be
full of don’ts. i % ; v
From the way they have called out the militia, police and
U. S. marshals at the state and territorial conventions, they
will have to concentrate the army and navy at Chicago and
Baltimore.
There is no red flag of anarchy in Alaska, as yet. And
that’s something to the credit of this territory.
The red flag demonstration at Seattle on May day was an
archy, and not Socialism, even though some of the followers of
the latter idea wandered off from the real principles of their
party.
And while Congress is giving some thought to Alaska these
days the distinguished members might with good effect turn
their attention to the much-prayed-for remedy, the solution of
the coal question.
From various parts of Alaska come reports of the growing
strength of the Socialists, and both the old political parties are
somewhat apprehensive of the magnitude of what is now a
comparatively unknown quantity.
RETURN OF THE WAYWARDS
The Valdez Prospector, and many individuals, are very
much concerned these days in trying to figure out why the
regular Republicans should vote for Candidate William Gil
more, who was formerly a strong supporter of James Wicker
sham. They seem to forget that even the vilest sinner may re
pent, and that there is still plenty of room in the ranks for
others who have been worshipping false gods. It’s all right
about some of these Democratic enthusiasts trying to make
themselves believe that Democracy is going to march triumph
ant through the marble Senate halls and through the spacious
rooms of the White House. But that kind of talk has been
heard once or twice before during the past fifteen years. In
the meantime, the Republicans are there, and it is just as like
ly that they will remain there, at least for the next four years.
And with the election of Mr. Gilmore as delegate from Alaska
there will be an able representative in Washington who will
be in harmony with the dominant party, and who has the tem
perament and capacity to get results for this sadly neglected
territory.
--oooo
Again it is announced that Delegate James Wickerslian
will not be a candidate for re-election. And, by the way, cat
anyone recall any statement of his during the past six month:
that indicated that he would be a candidate. As a matter oi
fact, when he was here last November he practically statec
that he desired to retire from politics. In Seattle and else
where he announced positively that if his home rule bill passec.
he would not seek re-election to Congress. He is now in a po
sition where he can gracefully retire, and seemingly this is
what he proposes to do.
-oooo
Another anxiety has been relieved by the confirmation o
Judge Edward E. Cushman, who will soon be transferred t<
the western district of Washington, with headquarters at Ta
coma and Seattle. The change may mean a place for an Alas
kan or two, depending upon the appointment of District At
tomey Walker to the judicial place and the selection of his suc
cessor. The new judge will have the selecting of a clerk of the
court and other officials.

Many favorable acknowledgements have been received
from the circular letters sent out by Secretary Barry of t lie
Cordova Chamber of Commerce to Congressmen and others,
calling their attention to the necessity for libei'al appropria
tions for roads and trails in Alaska.
