The Alaskan says that the Pnos
»wtor exhibits the “cloven hoof
that brands its toryism” when it
complains-of a Valdez paper abus
ing an. official who has never in any
way hurt Valdez, nor opposed any
.legislation wo have tried to secure.
The Alaskan consider*) anyone dif
iering from its- opinions a tory.
The Alaskan is an angel. The an
tonym of angel is devil. The dev
il has a cloven hoof.. Therefore
the Prostkctok must he a tory and
bare bifurcated pedal extremities.
All right Mr. Alaskan, if that’s
your way of looking at it, you are
welcome to youe-opiuion, hut that
doesn’t change the fact that Val
dez has no reason for howling at
•kioveraor Bwdr. He is in favor of
better) transportation facilities to
the interior. So is Valdez. He
favors the encouragement of an
agricultural population in the in
terior. So docs Valdez. He favors
3 delegate in Congress. So does
Valdez. He is opposed to territor
ial government at present. So is
Valdez. We don’t know what an
other man,, appointed from some
place in the States, might favor, so
it i+policy for this section to stick
bv one who we kuenr is friendly
(jo ward us.
'OIhs fttospKCTOR is for Valdez:,,
irst, last and all the time, and be
ing dubbed u torj’, for considering
the needs of this aeetion ahead of
any other, will uot change it a par
ticle.
It is a good' thing that the Cham
ber of Commerce has seen the folly
of taking an.uncertain stand on the
question- of better transportation
for Alaska, and has declancd itself
strongly in fatvor of: a wagon road,
as was suggested by the I?kospkctok
!ait week. No good can ever be
accomplished- by trying to keep on
both sides of a proposition,, and as
the wagon- road .-ide of the question
is favored by a majority of our cit
izens, it is tlic proper thing for the
ebamlier., as a representative body,
to work for.
The time is now ripe for one oft he
dig steamship companies operat
ing on the Seattle-Juneau route, to
Uike up the question of placing two
good steamers-on the Juneau-Val
dcz run. It has been noticed that
a large portion of the western Alas
ka, travel take tlie westward
boats to; this port,, and then
take one of the fast sound steam
ers.. The reason foe this is that as
a rule they make fnvonuble con
nections, and have an opportunity
So get a few hour’s rest ashore.
Several people have figured on
Side kind oiservice to western Alas
ka, but they could not successfully
secure a co-operation, with the big
Juneau-Puget sound liners t« se
en re a connecting schedule.
Another thing that makes the
biting all the more feasible is that
bite new army cable would allow
bite local oflice to, keep in, touch
with the western terminus of the
sun.
Tlie company that will take this
up drserves a liberal patronage
iroin the local merchants* and they
•an rest assured that they will
please the westward travel.—Ju

1 heavily for several days. Hogan
; is a brother of Purser Hogan of the
Topeka.
There are a number of smaller
vessels now enroute from Nome
I and it is feared that this terrible
storm of the past 10 days may
have injured some of them.

which sunk at the wharf some time
ago, has been raised. It is proved

'caused by an open deadlight and

London, Old. 25—The only offi
cial news given out regarding the
North Sea outrage is that the Rus
sian government has received no
word from the admiral of the Bal
tic fleet us to the canse of his at
tack on fishing fleet, and in the
absence of definite news can do
nothing further than express regret
for the occurrence. Public feeling
is so strong that the government
will have to stick to demands for
an apology, an indemnity and the
punishment of Admiral Kojestven
ski.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 25—By an
imperial decree issued today Kurt -
pntkin is made tbe commander-in
chief of all the land forces now in
the field or on the way.
Some time ago the Czar announ
ced bis intention of putting •'MH).(MK)I
additional men in the field and di
viding the army, putting Kuropat
kin in command of the first and
(Sen. tirippenlierg in command of
the-second. Owing to the success
ful manner in which Kuropatkin
has handled bis army under ad
verse conditions, the Czar lias now
decided to put him in supreme
command of ali the forces. The
•'hi, 4th. nth, Xth and 15th corps arc
already destined for the front and
five more corps will be sent soon.
This will put a Russian army of
six or seven hundred thousand
men in the field.

has been'received from the Baltic
fleet since the North sea accident.
A report is anxiously awaited from
the admiral.
Tokio, Oct. 25—The sinking of
the Japanese steamer Hitachi Maru
and the damaging of the Sadu by
Russian mines has been explained.
It appears that the admiral com
manding the fleet of lmats attached
to the Japanese fleet was bribed,
and notified the Russians of the
location of the vessels by wireless
telegraphy. When the’ Japanese
vessels approached the mines they
were exploded. The bribe given
bv the Russians was ?('>(),000. The
treachery of the officer was discov
ered and he was tried by court
martial. found guilty, and was
stripped and beaten to death.
Istidon, Oct. 26—The British
people are chafing at the delay in
the proeeedure between England
and Russia regarding the North
sea trouble. Expressions of regret
received from the Czar have some
what allayed the feeling among the
most conservative but final action
in the matter is anxiously awaited.
The most general opinion is that if
the attack bad not lieen a deliber
ate one, there would have been
some break in the line of march of
the battleships, or some attempt to
see what damage had been done.
The fact that the fleet sailed along
without changing its course is tak
en as being significant of a pre
arri.vfed jfan.
