CHITINA PRECINCT IS UNIQUE
Down in the state of Washington they are getting very
much exercised over the admission of foreigners to American
citizenship. Wonder how they would feel if they had an alien
administering the laws for them! In one respect Alaska is a
notable exception from possibly any other section of the Unit
ed States. In the Chitina precinct there is an alien, a subject
of Great Britain, who for a year past has held the office of
United States commissioner. He successfully disguised the fact
until November last, when he was investigated by the federal
grand jury at Cordova. Then “Judge” M. R. Healy was com
pelled to admit that he was not an American citizen. And his
public acts have been such as to likely preclude the possibility
of his ever being admitted to citizenship. And yet this itiner
ant has not the decency to resign his office. In referring to the
matter of citizenship the Seattle Times says:
“Since Washington has started a movement for the revi
sion of naturalization laws, all the other states should follow
suit. There is need nowadays for more stringent conditions at
tending the newly-made citizen. American citizenship is not a
joke, as some foreigners appear to think. It has weighty re
sponsibilities which every man should understand before he
tries to shoulder them.”

GREETING TO VICE-PRESIDENT BAXTER
There are in our community a couple of men who have
worked under Robert W. Baxter, the new head of the Morgan
Guggenheim transportation interests in Alaska. They speak
of him as a thorough railroad man. A man who is alert and
up-to-date; progressive and energetic; a big man with a kind
ly heart and a spirit of justice. A man who knows and recog
nizes efficiency and inspires his subordinates to exert their best
possible efforts in the interests of their employers. He is desig
nated as the kind of man who will be in accord with the spirit
of the Northland and whose influence will be exerted in the line
of harmony, efficiency and progression. And such a man will
be warmly welcomed to Cordova and the Copper River country.
While Mr. Baxter’s headquarters will be in Seattle, it is expect
ed that he will soon familiarize himself with the interests of the
Alaska Syndicate and keep in close touch with the operations
in this section. While there will be regret at the departure of
Mr. Young, who is a splendid gentleman in every way, and who
goes to larger fields, his successor will be accorded a hearty
greeting by a people who will wish him every possible success
in his new work. At present Mr. Baxter is the general superin
tendent of the northern lines of the Illinois Central Railroad.
Previous to accepting that position a few years ago he was the
general superintendent of the Colorado & Southern lines, with
headquarters at Denver.

OUR GUARDIAN ANGELS
We are informed that over in Valdez they seem to take the
guards, keepers, deputy marshals and other political hangers
on around the jail as anything but jokes. However, most of
them are good-natured fellows and they are necessary ad
juncts to the town, when not enjoying vacations in Cordova,
Seattle, Portland and other pleasant places. At present our
neighbors must seem lonely, for Marshal Sullivan has gone to
the great outside for conference and recreation; the ever-smil
ing and busy bee deputy, George Goshaw, is giving his Cordo
va friends a treat for a few weeks, and lightening the labors of
Deputy Sam; Deputy Norman Merchant, who was such a splen
did instrument at the recent Republican primaries, longed for
a summer cruise, so today he will take the Dora at Seward and
spend a few months to the westward catching “desperadoes;”
and of another, the Miner says: “James Fish, Jr., left on the
Mariposa for a trip to Seattle and Portland. He stated that his
strenuous duties as court crier have so compeltely worn him out
that he is taking a much needed vacation. He is acting as
guard for the insane man going to Morningside.”
There are a few others who are maintaining themselves in
patience, at the expense of Uncle Sam, awaiting their turn to
enjoy the good things of life. And they all deserve the best
the market affords. This thing of running the public, political
and private affairs of the people of the Third judicial division
is a strenuous occupation for the U. S. marshal and his gallant
aides. But they certainly are proving equal to the task, with
possibly the exception of good old Joe Brown, of the Chitina
precinct. His duties became so multitudinous that he weak
ened under the strain several weeks ago and tendered his res
ignation. But cruel'Marse Harvey insisted that the people of
Chitina had not yet been properly disciplined and that Joe
must continue to carry out his orders. And, of course, like tilt
obedient Fido, poor Joe is compelled to harken unto his mas
ter’s voice and incidentally draw down two or three hundred
good simoleons per month. And yet, with all these guardian
angels fluttering around the cities or wilds of Alaska, some
thirty thousand white people have the timerity to insist on self
government. That surely is ingratitude.
-oooo-—
The influx of prominent mining men from the east into the
rich Copper River district is beginning. Scores will come be
fore the summer is over.
It hardly seems possible that any political convention in
Alaska would favor sending delegates to a national convention
who would vote for the nomination of Teddy. For he is the
man who first tied up the resources of this country. But the
Valdez convention on the 29th is likely to make the mistake of
giving him a contesting delegation, so that he can boast to the
country of the high favor with which he is regarded by Alas
kans, even though they be but a handful.
And now that it looks as though we were soon to have a
form of home government in Alaska, some of the people who
have been bosting for it are beginning to turn tail. But it’s com
ing, all the same.
The Congress is treating Alaska very nicely just now. Let
the good work go on. It is almost certain that a railroad bill,
of some form, will pass this session. All indications point that
way. The solons are in the right mood for Alaskan legislation.
—Seward Gateway. And here’s wishing that no cloud will
cross your prophetic vision.
Home rule for Alaska is an issue that lias commanded the
attention of Congress from the necessities of the case. Every
body admits that something must be done. The House, in act
ing favorably on the bill, demonstrates the effectiveness of the
arguments that have been presented to that body unceasingly
for the past eight years.—Seattle Times. Not overlooking the
persistency of the arguments.
The only way to find out what Mr. Bryan would do if of
fered another nomination seems to be to wait until it is offered
to him.
With five candidates in the field for delegate to Congress
from Alaska, it occurs to us that the individual desire of the va
rious class of voters should be gratified. The delegate fight
should be an interetsing one, but no one appears to be making
much noise just now.—Gateway. They are all still waiting to
see whether Delegate Wickersham will be forced to throw his
hat into the ring.
An exposition in 1917 in Fairbanks, absurd though such
a project may seem at this time, would not be impossible if the
government pursued its contemplated policy of railroad build
ing in the territory. Given two lines from the coast to the in
terior and Alaska would have something to show to visitors,
aside from her mineral resources, that would amaze them.
