ine,e are still many wno are
inclined to scoit at tne work of
tne cnamber in the belief that its
projects are based upon notmng
at an and will either prove abor
tive or that they will gradually
lapse into desuetude and finally
die of neglect, they are assur
edly not to be blamed for the
opinion for it must be admitted
tnat this has been the ultimate
fate of practically every move
ment along the same lines that
has started here in the past.
There has at varying times been
a giand hurrah, an enthusiastic
huobub about one thing or an
other, but all have finally come
to naught. Several times we have
become very busy in attempts to
further some particular project
which promised benefits, but all
have failed of results, for one rea
son or another, but most of all
because of a lack of sufficient
energy to carry them over the
rough places to final success.
Howev.er, this time we venture to
say, things will be different for
the j-eason that we are dealing
with a different set of men, men
who have taken a new view of
things and are employing differ
ent methods. The Chamber of
Commerce is proceeding about its
business with a seriousness that
betokens a firm determination to
succeed in its undertakings if
success be within the range of
human province. There is, in
sharp contrast with the past, no
great noise being made about
what is being accomplished and
there is an entire absence of any
attempt to advertise what is con
templated but the chamber is
none the less busy.
It is a sober, serious business
and the organization is apparent
ly not looking for any fireworks
Perhaps the best proof of this is
that the public has not been in
formed of a one-fifth na^t of the
projects that the chamber has
been working on for months.
W hat thev have done are willing
to talk about but they are more
or less reluctant conceding
manv things contemplated. This,
in itself, is excellent evidence that
thev are not looking for anvthing
hut results. The spirit displaved
since the chamber was reorganiz
ed sows months ago has been at
ill times one of quiet determina
1011 to go ahead and try to ac
:omplisli-sometning tor tne bene
it of the community and the ter
ritory—not by talking, but by
working along sober, sensible
business lines. VV hether they
will succeed in the plans now un
ier way is, of course, a matter
that ^ime alone can determine
aut if effort and energy are
worth anything they will assur
edly accomplish something worth
while. It is hardly to be doubted
that something is bound to de
velop when sensible, level head
ed business men set themselves
to the task of getting results in
a field so prolific of opportunities
as the one in which we dwell. Up
to the present time the results
of their labor, although many, are
barely preceptible to the public
eye. Ihe reason lies in the fact
that, while much has really been
acomplished that will ultimately
prove of great benefit, a large por
tion of the work has been devoted
to the perfection of plans the
frutition of which is not expected
tor another year or two. The
chamber, generally speaking, is
not trying for small things and
time is a primary essential in ob
taing results.
Also they are building solidly
and with a comprehensive eye to
the things most essential for the
proper development of the terri
tory- Best ot all they are work
ing with a vim and spirit which
disclosses th.lt they are all im
bued with the idea that the coun
try possesses possibilities suffi
cient to reward their labors—
that there are fields of endeavor
which can be made profitable and
beneficial to themselves and the
community in which they live.
Every effort so far undertaken in
dicates that they have come to
the realization that patient labor
will bring profitable rewards—
as will assuredly be the case in a
field where there are so many lat
ent possibilities as are waiting
.evelopment right here in Seward
peninsula.
GRIGSBY THE FAVORITE
(Cordova Times.)
It seems to be generally under
stood in democratic circle^ tilat
George B. Grigsby of Nome, vywi
secure the nomination for delegate
to congress at the coming tec
torial convention, which will like
ly be held at Seward early in the
spring. Mr- Grigsby was former
ly district attorney of the Sec
ond division under the republican
idministration, but claims to Have
always been a democrat. Since
he lost his office owing to his in
dependence and his retusaf to'do
what the powers asked him to uo
he has been identified with the
democratic party in Nome, and
was one of the strongest support
ers of Robert Jennings in the last
election but one. Indeed, Grigs
by was slated then for a place
and would probably have receiv
ed it w'ere it not for the fact that
the administration took it upon
itself to send carpet baggers.
Grigsby occupies a position poli
tically similar to that of Marshal
F. R. Brenneman, of Valdez.
When Brenneman was appointed
United States marshal everyone
though him a republican because
he held office under a republican
administration, but Marshall, who
is now vice president, knew'
Brenneman when the latter took
n active part in democratic poli
tics outside. The same may be
true of Shorthill, secretary to the
governor, whom everyone
thought a republican, but who
declares that the only president
he ever voted for was William
Jennings Bryan.

WANTS MINING I
tAW REVISED
_ \
Senator Snjoot’s bill for a com
mission to take steps toward a
revision of the mining law of the
United States wa9 passed by the
senate, January 12. A similar bill
is having rather a hard time, how
ever, in the committee on mines
and mining of th| house of rep- -
resentatives. So% e members of
that committee object to spending
any money on such a thing as de
signing good legislation, while
Mr. Wickersham, the member j
from Alaska, opposes the demand
for mining law revision on the
ground that the only parties that
want it are the Anaconda^Copper
Mining Company, the Guggen- '
heims and what he is pleased to
characterize as the “Broadway
interests” in general, says the
Engineering and Mining Journal
of January 22.
It would follow from Mr. Wick
ersham’s charge that the Mining
and Metallurgical Society of Am
erica, the American Institute of*
Mining Enginers, the American
Mining congress, the Idaho State
Mining Associaton numerous
other state and local mining or
ganizations, the United States
bureau of mines, the United
States Geological Survey, the
mining press of the United States,
Senator Smoot, Senator Thomas,
Senator Walsh, and the senate
committee on mines and mining,
also the majority of a commis
sion appointed by President
Roosevelt (to mention only a few
of those engaged in the mining
industry who want a revision of
the mining laws) are inspired by
the Anaconda Copper Minin®
Company, the Guggenheims and
the “Broadway interests.” But
why those niggers of the wood
pile should be going to so much
trouble to abolish that miserable ,
old law' of the apex deponent s-uth
not.—Engineering and Mining
Journal.
