City Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, AUGUST 17. 1915. |
Moral suasion has hardly had tinm j
to develop any definite results in the1
Mexican matter and we may therefore!
continue to hope that some good may
lie forthcoming, but-at the some time)
it must t>c admitted that there are!
many indications that the peace appeal I
will he ;is unproductive of results as j
our previous demonstrations toward |
securing an abatement of the dlstur-!
bailees in the Mexican country.
In a way the offering of an appeal,!
which is directed solely to the moral1
sensibilities of the people, especially ]
after hurling a series of threats of t
bodily castigation, appears like the |
veriest nonsense and it is hardly to he !
doubted that the selfishly ambitious,
leaders will pay but little attention,
while the rank and file of the Mexican
people will probably remain in com
plete ignorance that such a thing as
an appeal of that nature lias been of
fered. Mexico is far from being in the
state of enlightment of this country
and but a small percentage of the Mex
ican people can read or write. In ad
dition, the country is in a state of
chaos and avenues for the dissemina
tion of accurate information concern
ing any form of event are few and
unreliable, thus preventing more than
a most meager knowledge of matters
of any nature coming to the notice of
the ordinary people. Under these con
ditions it is doubly doubtful if more
than a small percentage of the Mexi
cans will ever hear of the Pan-Ameri
can appeal and those few will pro
bably not recognize it as other than an
attempt at coercion under the guise of
friendly persuasion. It Is equally pro
bable that, in the light of the previous
threatening attitude of the United
States, that many of the Mexicans
will see in the appeal only what ap
pears as a complete backdown on the
part of the detested Gringos whose :
subtitles they have long grown to dis- I
trust. The attitude of the leaders to
ward .any offering which may serve to
defeat their own selfish aims can be f
at once surmised for it cannot be 1
doubted that underneath their protes- i
- - . L
m
Ations of disinterested desire to re
eve the distressing condition of their
ountrymen lies a most inordinate and
lersonal ambition. None hut the ver
i'st chuckle head will conceive that
hey, at least, are in this bloody game
f death and destruction for any mo
ive other than a most definite re
vard—what there may be in it in the
vav of wealth, power and personal ag
rrandizment.
If there was more .han a most
neager bast sof disinterested desire in
heir protestations of an overweening
vish to helpt .heir countrymen into a
letter state or condition of existence,
he present trouhles eould and would
lave been adjusted long ago. The
rouble Is that ambition, pure, personal
ind selfish, lies at the base of the'r
icttvities and not the professed de
dre to serve ns the emancipators of
he people so loudly offered in exten
uation of the regime of crime and
uloodshed with which that mtserabW
country has been afflicted. To these
aien the appeal of the Pan-America!,
^inference offers nothing but a pro
spect of having to step aside and hand
the rewards for which they have strug
gled. over to someone else chosen by
the constitutionalist convention and
they recognize only too surely tint
this means nothing less than that they
will be forced into the background by
forces which they cannot control If
they once yield the place of power.
There are large numbers of manu
facturers in this country who are firm
ly convinced that the outbreak of the
war was the only thing which saved
the country from the same complete
industrial prostration from the with
drawal of protection that followed
when protection was once before with
drawn, during the last administration
of President Cleveland.
The members of the National As
sociation of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers, who were In session In
Philadelphia recently. Judging by thilr
public expressions are thoroughly con
vinced of this and believe absolutely
that the war and the war orders are
all that saved them from near ruin.
Manufacturer ofter manufacturer
stated that the war orders had saved
him. Some of them were loaded to the
guards with such orders, while prior
[o the outbreak of the war business
iviis absolutely stagnant. The textile
nills ail over the country are running
>u war orders.
The war had another good effect, so
’ar as they were concerned. It put a
jtop to tlie flood of German goods,
ivhich were displacing American goody
In their lines and closing mill after
mill in this country. P.ut even the ab
sence of German competition alone
would not have saved them, for (he
domestic demand remain.! far below’
the normal. It was the orders from
abroad for their goods which did it.
They also recognize the fact that the
end to their present prosperity, unless
there should also come a revision of
the tariff along protective lines, so that
they will not have to encounter again
the fierce Kuropean competition wtien
peace returns.—Post-Intelligencer.

NOTES
T. R. Thompson and Jacob Abersen
left l7nga on July 4 in a “three-quar.
tered dory” for San Francisco. Tin
little vessel has no motor power and
her daring crew has to depend on sail
and oars.
SEWARD.—J. Hellenius, Swedish
nlitor from Seattle, left for Anchorage
■ecently. He was quoted in a Juneau
taper as saying that Alaska presents
is many opportunities in an agrlcul
ural sense ns Sweden or Norway.
A ledge carrying free gold has been
ound in the Tolovana district and has
een traced for nearly three miles
long the left limit of Idvengood
creek, where gold was first discovered]
in the camp. The ledge is twelve feet j
wide and promises to develop Into aj
big proposition. It is being investl-'
gated by the quartz miners.
WRA NGEI.L.—Oapt. Simon Brunn.
of the Border Line Transportation Co.,
reports that as he was steaming to
Alaska early in Mfej lie passed herd
after herd of fur seals leisurely wend
ing their way north of Vancouver Is
lund. Indians from the island were out
in their canoes hunting them fifteen
miles off shore.
SEWARD.—Charles E. Herron has
purchased the gas vessel Rrlghton
which arrived yesterday and which:
used to ply between Valdez and Port
Wells. It will be used in connection
with the mill which Mr. Herron Is
bringing in on the Watson. He left
this morning again for Slxmile. the
scene of his mining operations.
FAIRBANKS.—Out at the ranch of
tho Alaska Silver Fox and Fur Farms
Co. there is a circumstance which
defies all the laws of nature in tht
matter of tho commingling of wild
and domestic animals, in fact that a
cat is nursing and raising a family of
fox puppies. One of the pups died
since it was given to the cat, but it
was a weakling of the bunch and it
is understood that the remaining four
of the litter are doing nicely.
Cordova is now the "Copper City"
of the United States, as It leads In the
value of ore shipped to the smelter.
During the month of May the produc
tion of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines
amounted to It.500,000 pounds of ore
which runs from 60 to 78 per cent cop
per. At the market price of this ore
the value would be $1,932,000. With !'
stimulated market the output of these
mines has steadily increased and they j
are now handling their capacity.

While the Santa Ann was on the j
way to Seward recently a passenger ■
named C. Krnmmon from Nushagak ;
tried to commit suicide aboard the j
vessel by shooting himself. He fired |
three shots with a rifle and the third
tore along his temple Inflicting an ugly
hut not fatal wound. H. S. Davidson
the Santa Ann purser, asker the man
why he attempted to take his life and
the answer was that he was “sinek of
living and everything.” The wounded
man was put off at Kodiak.
SEWARD—The government railroad :
engineering commission is asking for
bids for fifteen hundred piles to he
delivered at Mile Fifty-four on the
Alaska Northern railroad. The piles
are to be used for the repair and re
construction of bridges on tho railroad
between Seward and Korn Creek and
can probably be taken as an indication
that the commission is convinced that
the road will soon be the property of
the government and that work will
soon be started.
DAWSON.—A. L. Dominy and Thos.
Boyd were the prospectors who met
with the mysterious death on Swift
I Creek, a tributary of the Hootalinqua,
| 1100 miles or so from the Yukon.
Dominy is understood to have hailed
from Lone Pine, California, and to
have left a family there. Boyd is be
lieved to be a Scotchman, and to have
a brother in a Scotch regiment. In
spector Bell of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police, has gone to investi
gate. It is believed by those who were
at and close to the scene that the men
died of scurvy.
SAND POINT. — The Mammoth
Group of copper claims on the Uganak
Island, Kodiak group, have Veen suc
cessfully developed the past year by
the owners, Messrs. McIntyre, Wander
and Smith. Work has been carried on
very progressively during the fall and
winter months. A depth of one hun
dred feet was attained thus exposing a
large body of ore showing excellent
values in copper, ranging from 8 to 13
per cent. Also good values in gold.
The property is showing up fine at
present and it is the opinion of the
district that it will 'prove a very suc
cessful enterprise in the near future.
