ma.iei ,s considered as in the nature
oi u Joke or is viewed as altogether
impracticable Vet, It would appear
that the statehood question would be a
matter of extreme importance to the
people of the territory In view of the
altogether unstlsfactory form of gov
ernment granted under the present
stem of departmental control and
ne that should find a large place In
he thoughts of the people. On every
ide are to be noted the utter Inade
quacies of the limited form of self
government granted under the act ere
cting the legislature and It has long
been borne in upon the people that
federal management of the territory
is hardly more than a semblance of
the government required to give the
■ ountry a chance to reach the fullness
■ f frultatlon warranted by Its wealth
and possibilities. For economic rea
sons alone the country should have
enlarged governmental powers for it Is
hardly to be hoped that any form of
ureaueratlc government will allow the
•■rritory to come Into Its own without
i vast waste of time and opportunities
1* Is really a very big and vital ques
tion, this matter of statehood and one
hat snould demand the attention of ali
thoughtful cltixens.
The Juneau Dispatch, In a recent Is
sue, gives a considerable amount of
attention to the charges made by Ed
ward Wade, a former clerk on the
ffice of Governor Strong, but who re
signed In order that ho might file
charges against the governor for keep
ng a republican as his secretary, while
so many good democrats are out of
a Job and also produces a list
d office holders who are al
■ ged to be republicans, but who are
till on the payroll, although the dem
ocrats have been In power for three
years. The Nugget Is not concerned
over the charges of Wade and has
Ittle Interest In whether the federal
appointed office, holders of the terri
tory are democrats or republicans but,
wing to the fact that about half of
the list Is composed of names of resl
ent or former Nome people It Is here
with presented.
First Divs'on—
Martin Conway. United States com
missioner, Skagway.
Edward S. Stackpole, United States
ommlssloner, Ketchikan.
Wm. G. Thomas, United States com
missioner, Wrangell.
Second Division—
Gilbert A. Adams, formerly United
States commissioner Council City dis
trict under republican administration,
now clerk of the court at Noma.
Robert H. Humber, United State:
deputy marshal. Candle.
Elmer Keed, United States deputy
marshal, Nome.
Third Division—
John H. House, chief deputy, Unltec
Stales marshal's office, Valdes.
Albert F. Sullivan. United tttatei
deputy marshal, Valdes.
\Vi.,uun O Connor, United State*
commissioner tbolter and supported
uoltersj In ISM.
,-ourth Divsion—
Percy C. Charles, United titelea dep
uty marshal, lditarod.
U. L. Van ter. United a tut a* deputy
.nu. shal, Tatiana.
E. Coke Hill, United States commis
jioner, Ruby.
W. A. Vln&L United titates commis
sinner, Ophir.
Wade ulso charged that the post
masters at Nome, Cordova, Juneau,
Reward, SkHgway and Valdez were re
publicans and that republicans arc
working In every branch of the gov
ernment service In Alaska under the
democratic administration, all of which
ue declares is devilish had business
and displays with unerring certainty
.hat the democratic eladers have not
ittetnpted to build up the party In the
erritory and that a democratic house
.loaning is neoded. Being from
Georgia Mr. Wade is doubless a reg
ular old line, tar heel democrat and
rl'eves in that Immortal adage. "To
■'u victor belongs the spoils.*'
AN ARMY TRADE SCHOOL
iHuston Record.
Lnscusaiun of secretary Harrison T
-onunc-nitti army plan nas revealed one
.duramentar objection, thus stated by
.ue .Non York Alan.
While the war In Europe lasts and
me American people are Inspired with
• high patriotism. It may nut be ditti
-Uit to got M#,ooo men a year to join
me continental army, and to make
.acritlces for the training involved.
->ui let peace settle down upon the
.arth once more and the inspiration
.•ill be gone. Recruiting for the fed
rul militia will be even more dilti
-ult than recruiting for the state mll
ua, because greater sacriUces are de
manded. Employes will not he so
.enieut about letting men oil for two
months' training every year. The con
.mental army will dwindle away, and |
in ten years it will have disappeared
••ntirely and all the millions that have
oeen spend upon its equipment and
.raining will be lost.
Army men In New York, according
to the Evening Post, prefer as an al
ternative plun the establishment of a
number of training camps, similar to
that at Plattsburg this summer which
shall be open all the year round, and
to which citizens will be welcome to go
for as long or short a time as may be
convenient to their civil occupations:
While there they would receive
board, lodging, uniform, equipment and
army pay; and the government, it is
pointed out* might establish trade
schools'In connection with these train
ing camps, where, In addition to drill
ing, men would be provided with a
chance In their odd moments of Im
proving their wage-earning capacities
as civilians.
In the military district of the east.j
there are never fewer than 100,000
tble-bodied unemployed men, many of
whom might Jump at such a chance.
The cost. It la figured, would be less
than that of the continental army, and
the social benefit obviously greater.
WE CAN DO IT.

A Dawson dispatch to the Fairbanks
itizen states that two of the dredges
.'dunging to Boyle Company were still
'Derating during the day light hours
up to the 9th of December on the
.<londlke river. The dispatch also states
.hut one of them that was recently
ov eruauied may be worked all winter,
it is believed that operations will be
possible with It even when the ther
mometer registers twenty or thirty
below zero without Interference. The
recordr for late operations on the
reek was made when the Boyle dredge
N'o. 1 shut down the week before for
lack of power.
Seward was visited by the nolsest
earthquake of its history at 7:10 o’clock
on the night of October 15, according to
the Post of that city. The seismic J
disturbance was preceded by a roar;
similar to that produced by the ex
plosion of blasting powder at some
depth beneath the surface. The move- j
ment of the earth continued for sev- J
eral seconds with a sharp upward Jerk.
No damage has been reported other1
than the cracking of some chandelier
shades hung close together in Cho- j
vin's electrical supply store. A few
bottles and cans were shaken from j
the shelves of Brown & Hawkins' and
George Phelps' stores. After the first
quake there was a quite a noise of
rocks rattling down the hill up Lovell
creek canyon and Just thirty minutes
later there was a second but much
lighter shock. The noise startled every
one, and down town stores and hotels
were cleared in Jig time. Reports from
f out the line show that the shock was!
; heavy at Mile 34 and also at Bird
I Point, on Turnagain Arm
