If there is unlawful discrimina
tion against Alaska coriimerce on
the Sound, there is no good reason
under the sun, so far as we know,
why the house-cleanin’ now going
on in the East cannot he extended
across the Rockies, even to where
the sun-set. kisses the sea in the
vicinity of Elliott Bay. The feel
ing is gradually growing in Alaska
that they are paying profits to too
large a hunch; that a margin to
the wholesaler, the retailor, the
middle-man, the broker, and
finally to the local dealer in mak
ing prices almost prohibitive in the
out-iaying camps, and unduly
retards the development of the
country. Don’t get mad. gentle
men; just give us a square deal
and we will give you reason to
thank yourself for it.—Record
Miner. •
With election clay leas than three
weeks in the future the thoughtful
Alaskan is more or less at sea in
relation to the candidate for dele
gate whose election the best inter
ests of the District demand. It is
remarkable that so much indiffer
ence exists m regard to the election
when one takes into cfonsideration
the long continued and sturdv
efforts which were made to cause
Congress to give us a delegate. It
is of the utmost importance that a
delegate be elected who is an
Alaskan at heart, a man who is
familiar with the wants of Alaska,
and who posesses in a marked
degree the ability to make the
most of his knowledge for the bene
fit of the people who elect him.
Among all the candidates for the
office of delegate the one who has
the least political strings attached
to him is the man tor the office.
Unfortunately none of the candi
dates is very well known among
the voters of this vicinity and
as a result the coming election
is food for grave thought for
the patriotic Alaskan. Alaska
lias been the foot ball of the
nation for years, and if we would
henceforth have some of the rights
and privileges of men it behooves
us to turn our attention to the
election with unbiased minds and
elect a man who, will represent, not
the carpet-bagger, the grafter and
the politician, but the men of the
north, those of this land i f the pio
neer who with ax and gun and
pick and shovel have planted the
standard of civilization in the
northland, to exist and continue
as a rich heritage when the feet of
generations, yet unborn, shall
come to press our soil.

affairs. The Czar is preparing a

hoped to get a parliament whose
views will meet with those of the
Bureaucracy. A strike was ordered
