City Oftieial Paper
NOME. ALASKA. MAY 25, 1915.
Italy might go to war and Xlt. Las
sen might blow itw head off yesterday
for all we eared What did il matter
that some of the most monumental
•‘wilts in the history of the world were
transpiring just across the Atlantic, in
the face of the fail that the good ship
Corwin was gallantly fighting her way
through the cumbering ice fields to
ward our long desolate shores, loaded
with eggs of recent date, oranges of
luscious sweetness and a numberless
array of other good things from which
we laid long been separated< >ut
upon such things as war declarations,
cabinet changes and volcanic erup
tions in the face of an immediate
prospect of fresh goodies! What
cart'd we that thrones were trembling
or any other old tiling was happening
on the other side of the world' Fresh
eggs! Oranges! I'm!
Tiie news that Italy, following in the
lead of the other nations involved in
the great war. has barred tiie war cor
respondents from her arm\ is a still
further blow to the prospect that some
day we might learn the truth coneern
that tale of horror now being written
in the blood of men in Europe’s war
marred history. We believe that tiie
withholding from humanity of one iota
of the ghastly evidence of what war if
and means, is in the nature of a wront
to the. human race, for only by becom
ing fully cognizant of its unutterabir
horrors, its awful realities, will th<
race of men come to look upon it as th<
curse it really is and with that fullei
understanding forever banish it frorr
their midst. This, tiie mightest con
flict in the history of tiie world, lau
been a secret war from its inceptior
and with the correspondents, who arc
men trained to observe and gifted will
the power to tell in comprehensive
terms just what they see, ilisliarrecl
from the- firing lines, it is doubtful il
the full story will ever be written save
in the terms of the military' experts
to whom sufrh trifles as the destruction
of battalions ore as nothing to tin- cap"
ture of a city or sonic point of strateg
ical value. A compilation of tiie dis
jointed tales of the survivors will, of
course, give us something of an idea
of what has occurred, hut at best such
will not be as full an exposition of tiie
gigantic reality as would come from
men trained and fitted to observe.
While we quite agree with tiie senti
ment of President Wilson, that Amer
i
ica may one day show the world the
jl’ath to pence, it is somewhat plainly
indicated that we may possibly have
some difficulty in keeping out of
trouble ourselves while paving the way
for world peace, especially if Germany
sinks a few more American ships.
Doubtless there is no more peaceably
inclined man in the world than is the
President, but we linve not the least
doubt, despite bis unobtrusive Mexican
policy, that if somebody tromps too
hard on the toes of your T'nele Samuel
Woodrow is Just as likelv to pull the
throttle open and tie the whistle down,
as any other true born American
.lust ttiink! No more politics, no
more prohibition movements, no more j
elections: nothing to do until next fall
but tend to business and other things
worth while! Gee! Won’t it he good
when 1 lie snow flies and we will again1
have time to get in and stir up a rum- !
pus of some kind.
What effect the entrance of Italy will
have on the great Ruropean contest
time alone can tell, but it is suggestive
, to note that In spite of the fait ttiat
. the Austrians are quite luisv elsevvl er.>
thev vet found time to shake the war
mad Italians up a tilt by bombarding
Ancona and several other costal towns
ilong the Adriatic almost simultan
eously with tlie Italian declaration >f
war Itulv with all her extensive pre
parations has seemingly been com
polled to suffer the heavier of the initial i
l o vs exchanged, if we may Judge It.
the reports received, all of which holi
er tes that Austria is readv for thej
emergency and has demonstrated her
1 preparedness in a most effective man
ner by coming right hack at her antag
onist almosts before they, with all their
months of steady preparation, had time
I to strike a blow.

('ORIX <VA. A message received re-|
M cnily In E. I.. Hardwood, from Me-J
Carthy. states that Fred Young, a
| prospector is dead on the Sushana
glacier, and asking for the address of
| his family No details are given.
| Young left Cordova October 27 to i
return to the Sushana. where he had I
been prospecting, having been sent inj
there about Ik months ago by Mr. liar- j
wood, and in the absence of details, it

PIIEoNIX.— Falcoln Joslyn of Fair
hanks, Alaska, was chosen one of the
six directors of the American Mining
Congress now in session in this city.
Resolutions were introduced at the
meeting asking that assessment work
on all claims in the United States and
Alaska he waived for 1914.
SKAGWAY Mr. Hahn recently e
ceived instructions from headquarters
for the construction of a new wharf
and warehouse for the company, and
in the interim between now and the
time of their readiness for use to put
up a temporary dock, together with
necessary facilities for the handling of
all truffle,
WASHINGTON There is overt in
dication that the l'nited States will
hold fast to the terrltorx known as
Alaska panhandle notwithstanding
there has been a well defined movement
to create a sentiment favoring the
I transfer of it to Canada. Representa
tive Frank Cl. Smith of Maryland, In
j request introduced in the house a
joint resolution providing that Presi
dent Wilson lie authorized to take no
with Great Hrltlan and with Canada
tile question of the transfer of the
Alaska panhandle. The resolution was
referred to the committee of foreign
affairs where it was promptly put In
a pigeon hole and there it will likely
remain although Mr Smith made a
; speeck In favor of It In the last ses
sion of congress.
SRATTRR The trustees of the new
Cham her of Commerce have adopted i
resolution indorsing the plan of Frank
lin K. 1, me secretary of the interior,
tn centralize authority and responsi
bilit\ In one body serving iri Alaska.
The commercial organization believes
the proposed Ratio board will have a
potent effect tn giving citizens of the
Northland self government.
(This ends it Alaskans now may
as well keep quiet. Seattle hast

valuable link in the chain of evidence
against "Wueberry Tommy” Johnson
who iff supposed to has killed Frank
Adams, “Fiddler John” Holmberg and ,
"Dutch Marie" Schmidt, says the Fair
banks Times. The body was found
onrlv in the summer hurled near the!
hank of the Yukon river, and during
the midsummer flood was washed

Postmaster Tt. Chase of the place,

Post office Department itself. All let

and not Ship creek or Woodrow creek.
Mr. Chase, as is well known, is the
Chief clerk o ft he engineering com

He consented to hate his name used
only in .elation to the name of the
post office, and then only for tin- con
venience of the public.
