City Offieiai Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 30, 1915.
The statement of the British premier
that the war has become a question of
endurance and Is likely to continue for
some time, is significant Indication that
there Is no intention on the part of
the warring nations to make peace
overtures until such time as their of
fensive powers have become so greatly
reduced that further resistance Is im
possible. And this is doubtless as It
should be. As much as one may be
reluctant to admit the fact, it lst clear
that a cessation of hostilities through
any cause other than a complete tri
umph for one side or the other will
have no effect other than to furnish
a pretext for a continuance of the con
flict tit some future time. In effect, a
a discontinuance at the present time
will he nothing less than an armed
truce a temporary breathing spell,
which, though it may endure for years,
will enable the development of still
more gigantic forres than those at
present employed and result in a still
greater destruction of life and proper
ly when then the final conflict shall bi
precipitated. The primary issue of th«
great struggle is commereial suprem
acy and behind this lies nothing but
tile overweening desire for the wealth
which commercial dominance obtains.
It is a matter of dollars, nothing more
Both sides recognize clearly enough
that the issue cannot he settled with
satisfaction through the medium of
agreements or treaties for. in the case
of nations, such are nothing more than
what the Oerman chancellor most
truthfully declared them to be. "scraps
of paper;" trifles to be observed when
useful and discarded when not. In the
avaricious desire for national wealth,
to he obtained only through the ave
nues of trade, absolute dominance of
all possible channels of commercial en
deavor is looked uponas essential. There
can lip no half way measures, no shar
ing of the market, of thp profits. It
must, in the view of the minds who
control the destinies of nations, he all
or nothing. Every nation seeking trade,
la. and must he, held to bp a competl
lor and therefore dangerous, much the
samp as In the ordinary business world
where each competitor is a potential
adversary whose machinations may
lead to loss of trade, with a consequent
lessening of revenues. While in the
ordinary line of business competitors'
are limited to the underselling of their
rivals in the endeavor to drive them
from the field, such is not the case
with nations. To them is Riven the
power to call into a resistence of the
competitor, a factor denied to the
seeker for trade In the lesser field of
commerce. This is the armed power
of the nation and when the competi
tion of rivals becomes too keen and
threatens the national trade relations
It Is used as a club to pound them Into
submission. This is exactly the situa
tion tylnR behind the present Rreat
conflict that is wasting the strength
and substance of Europe. Competition
was too keen and some fnftor must
preforce be eliminated. And it is this
desire to eliminate the threatening
factor that forbids the discontinuance
of the war until that purpose shall
have been accomplished. Hence there
can be no permanent peace until one
side or the other has been so seriously
crippled that a continuance of the strug
gle is impossible. Thus it is that, in
as much as neither side have been able
to achieve a distinct victory over their
rivals, the fight has now become a
contest of endurance and the final solu
tion must depend on which side can
stand the economic drain tho longest.
It Is a logical certainty that the result
will he the same. Some one will he
vanquished if not by arms, by the in
ability to keep up the struggle owing
to depleted finances or other causes
of like nature. That there must he a
definite conclusion, that one side must
be the undisputed victors before peace
can lie concluded goes without saving.
Only complete victory will accomplish
that which the contending nations are
• seeking and a peace concluded upon
f any terms before one side or the other
shall he rendered utterly helpless ean
'■ not he looked upon as permanent, and
therefore cannot he accepted. One fac
tor must he eliminated and this can he
. ncompllshed only by a continuation of
the struggle until on<> shall emerge su
preme. Peace under any other eondi
i tions will only mean that a still
. mightier conflict must decide the ques
, tlon and it is therefore better in every
. way that the present conflict shall lie
brought to a definite conclusion.
ALASKA
NOTES
A strike at Haines during ilie past
week has been peacefully settled be
tween the management of the Alaska
Pacific cannery In Chllkat inlet and
the Indian fishermen who were not
content when the cannery cut the price
of fish from 15 to 12 Vi cents each.
Col. It. W. 1.. Stevenson, who has a
contract from the government to cut
two million feet of lumber on Portage
bay, and who is understood to repre
sent large eastern capital, has located
eighteen trading end manufacturing
sites on the shores of Passage canal.
The tracts vary in size from twenty to
eighty acres, and surveyors have com
pleted the work of marking the houn-l
daries.
Included in n recent shipment to Al
aska were 185 head of sheep, seven
head of cattle and five horses, hound
for Uyak, Kodiak island. The sheep
cattle and horses are being taken north
by H. A. Murphy, an Oregon sheepman,
and ten associates who expect to es
tablish homesteads on Koklak island.
They are also taking north about 100
tons of lumbl'r. agricultural imple
ments and household goods.
If the republican party wins the
national election of 1910, E. Ii. Collins,
if Fox, speaker of the house of repre
sentatives in the territorial legislature,
will he a candidate for gubernatorial
honors, for such is the announcement
recently made. Interviewed on the
subject, Mr. Collins stated that he is1
not adverse to taking the position if he
can secure it, saying further that the
idea was first suggested to him by his
numerous friends on the coast.
Col. \V. I\ Richardson, president
of the Alaska Road Commission, has
agreed to spend $10,00 upon the build
ing of a winter road from Fairbanks
to Tolovana. The business houses
in Fairbanks have promised to raise
$5,000 additional for the work and hope
to have a good road to the new camp.
Colonel Richurdson first directed En
gineer Hug to make a careful estimate
of the necessary work and the proba
bilities that the road could be built for
that sum, besides which lie had ascer
tained as far as it is possible to do so,
that the new camp Reserves and jus
tifies the expenditure of ttie funds.
Prospectors on Flat Creek, In the
Wild Creek district of the Koyukuk
country, a section where some goood
money has been taken out in the past,
sunk a hole 225 feet and ran into clear
blue lee. They put in a steam pipe and
ran it down for many feet, but found
no bottom to the ice and were com
pelled to abandon the hole. It is be
lieved that they ran into what at one
time was a subterranean lake, which
has become frozen into a solid piece of
ice.
There has been litigation for some
time past over some property in the
neighborhood of Valdez that is valu
able for its water rights. The land
office at Juneau has just rendered a de
cision in the matter that results in the
forfeiture of the Ida May lode claim
and placer claims known as the
Huckleberry and Solomon Falls,
which were located by Ida F. M. lies.
Failure to comply with the govern
mental regulations concerning devel
opment work and to establish proof of
the presence of mineral, is announced
as the cause of the action taken. The
case has recently been investigated by
the Juneau land office at the request of
the General Land Office at Washington
and the charges made by the govern
ment sustained. This forfeiture will
directly affect the Alaska Water, Light
and Telephone Company at Valdez,
which owns and operates a plant on the
ground In question. This plant is the
supply for the city of Valdez, and
under the ruling the company will have
no valid title to the site they now oc
cupy.
