NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 3, 1916
li is perhaps significant that during
the later months of the war, the Sun
day magazine scribes have ceased their
high minded discussions of that hypo
thetical possibility, universal peace
Time was when you could hardly pick
up a paper or magazine but you run
across a dissertation by some literarv
quack, preaching the millenniumesqui
doctrine of a day when the swore
would be beaten into plowshares anc
the warrior would lay aside forever hit
gore stained spear and the lion would
lay down with the lamb, and all tht-i
rest cf the same class of humbug
Very pretty talk it was and calculate
to make one feel that humanity was
indeed progressing toward better
things and would shortly cast asldf
the savage brutality which has beer
Hie distinguishing characteristic o,
the rare since mankind was created
How else could it be with all those
noble thoughts and sublime expres
sions of peace percolating through sc
many noodles',’ Something must be
about to happen along that line, surer*
and then what a lovely old world It
would be. vNo more wars, no mort
mutduring and butchering, no more
aimies, guns: nothing but serenity,
wun every' man looking upon hia
neignbor as a brother and living in a
state of fellowship and mutual help
Fine! But it all seems to be more or
less forgotten In the light of fresher
understanding that there can be no
universal peace until nations learn the
ieseon that individuals have learned
long ago—to mind their own business
and let the other fellow mind his. \
When that happens we will have uni-!
vers&l peace, and not before That’s,
the way that humanity, Individually
speaking, gets along with others—by
tending strictly to their own affairs
When an individual forgets himself
and mixes into the domestic or business
affairs of his neighbors, what does he
get? Trouble. And usually In big
chunks. And that’s exactly the same
thing that happens to nations wher
they attempt to mix In the other fel
low’s game. And as long as they
accept the view that they can meddle
In the other party’s business, so long
will we have wars and International
disputes and all manner of other trou
bles 'tre things.
The same morality', the same sense
of mstice must rule between the na
tion? as prevail between Individuals
before wars will end. There was a
time in the history of the human
race when might was right but that
was away back in tlie days beforo man
had shed his canine tusks. Then It
was a case of take what you could
get In any way you could get It. The
law of life was kill or be killed and
at, a consequence from the prehistoric
monster down to man, all trampled
down what was weak and took what
ever they could get away with. There
was no question of right or Justice
about It. It was necessary. It required
agsa upon ages to develop ths sense
it Justice between individual* but in |
Imp they learned that it was neither
vise nor light to prey upon one an
ither. When that happened man ceus
;d to lurk In his cave and wait .for
.he fellow in the next cave to come
out and give him a chance to knock
ai* block off. Also he learned that If
ae let hte other fellow alone, the other
chap would usually let him alone and
out of this grew the understanding
that prevails between individuals to
day In an individual sense we get
ilong fine but we have yet to learn
that we must adopt the same course
of procedure In our national dealings
before we can hope to be rid of armies
and guns. When this happens war
will Just naturally disappear without
our having to go around the world
preaching universal disarmament or
-deeding with our neighbors to sign a
•iledge to keep the peace. If no one
Is looking for trouble there will be no
necessity for such things.
The present war, despite the awful
mrs of it. Is really a good thing as it
will help to teach humanity tills valua
ble lesson for it is surely apparent that
regardless of reasons, it grew out of
r. dhing else than one nation meddling
with tlie affairs of another. If they
:iad attended to their own business
there would have been no war and
all this strife and blood she^ would
have been saved. If, when ^je final
action is over and the whole thing Is
summed up. when we take account of
the fearful waste, survey the battle
fields and contemplate the awful death
list—If we do not then come to realize
the wisdom of tending to our own
business we will be dull Indeed, for
all that we shall see, however grew
some or horrible It may be, will sim
ply be the price that has been paid
for someone’s desire to meddle with
the affairs of someone else

The game warden heard of the trans

The steward plead Ignorance of the

John Uolcheck's gasboat the King

Capt J C. Nord formerly of the

■ermanent commander of the Alaska
'teamshlp Company’s new liner, Kan

a soon as she shall have been over- ;

Seward Gateway: Louts Tovaeovlch I
net a horrible death last Saturday
"eek at Ellamar when he fell over a
•HIT 40 feet high In the darkness.
Then found he was dead and the
ircumstances Indicated tha he met
■Is death In the attempt to recover
■Is hat, which had fallen from his
ead. On front of his cap was found
he usual miner’s light, while another
indie was also found close 1»y show- i
ig that he found the second light i
necessary
..—
Arthur Ruppel, who haB returned to I
Reward from a prospecting trip around
Anchor Point, on Cook Inlet, brings
word to Seward that he has made a
strike between that place and Homer
that Is one of the best looking In that
part of the counry. Plour gold bar
been known for along time ot be pres
ent on the shore line between Anchor
Point and Homer, and colors can be
struck at any place from the beach
•n the streams. Ruppel reports hav
ing found coarse gold on one of the
■reeks some distance from the water
which is very promising.
Territorial Mine Inspector William
V. Maloney, who is now In this soc
Mon, says that the Increased price of
copper has already caused a renewal
in mining activity among the small
■opper properties along the coast
The price is now twenty cents, and
Mr. Maloney believes that the close
if the war will still see copper hold
’he price and that this will mean s
very great deal for this territory. The
output of the Latouche mine is to be
nereased right away from 400 to 750
tons, and machinery is also being
put In at Fldalgo bay to open the
property there.—Chitna Leader.
L. L. Middlecamp, superintendent of
the mine at Ellamar, was tried recently
in the commissioner’s court at Valdez
on the charge of falling to report an
accident at the mine. The jury acquit
ted him, the prosecution being caused
oy William A. Maloney the territorial
mine inspector. Ellamar has its own
United States commissioner, but as
he is the bookeeper of the company
the trial was transferred to Valdez
Two men were recently killed at El
lamar, but that was not the accident
from which the charge arose. Oas
blowouts occur from time to time in
he mine and cause some rather strong,
explosions.—Chltlna Leader.
Edward J. Uhl, who conducts a ma- j
chine shop in Idltarod, who arrived
at Seward on an early winter trip
outside, told of a new method of pros
pecting in frozen ground, according to
the Gateway.
The old method of using a heavy!
boiler, weighing about 450 pounds, he
said has been superseded in the Idl
tarod country by the hotwater pump
method, which weighs about thirty
pounds and is very convenient. A
large flat pan of water is placed on
an open fire and the hot water pumped j
into pipes and forced into the frozen j
ground. This method has been found j
to be more efficient than the old steam
way.
Frank E. Youngs writes F. J. Cotter'
that negotiations have been completed
whereby the General Electric company
of New York, the largest electrical
manufacturers in the United Staes, if
not in the world, purchased the hold
ings of the Valdez Creek Mining Com- j
pany. This piece of placer Is one of
the largest and most valuable of any ,
in Alaska and was developed and !
managed by A. . Bryant, formerly of
Seward and a partner of Mr. Youngs
The Electric Company will take charge
of the mine immediately and carry
on operations there on a larger scale
than ever before.—Gateway.
