WELCOME.
Citizens ol \aldez extend n
hourly welcome lo I lie memhers
elecl of I lie legislature who are
sojourning in our midst on their
way lo the seal of llioir duties.
We wish them Cod-speed and a
high degree of success in their
deliberations as our law-making
body. We believe every member
will go to bis new duties with a
high resolve lo accomplish the
greatest, amount of good to the
greatest number. The task be
fore them is a great one; Alaska
has heretofore operated under an
antiquated patchwork ol laws, lor
convenience sake called a code:
many of the imperative needs of
the people have heretofore been
entirely neglected: we have been
given a government without the
means of doing those things most
needed.
Now that wo have been given a
legislature, no - matter how re
stricted its powers may be, we
Tiave a reason to expect some re
lief from the impossible position
we have heretofore occupied.
Where power has be'en withheld
from our law-making body, we
can at least petition congress for
relief through a body of men who
have authority lo speak for the
people. By following a safe and •
sane course we will soon leach :
congress that we are .just as cap- {
able of self-government as were j
the inhabitants of the territories j
which have within the past few j
decades become sovereign stales; !
like them, we will gain for our- j
selves the rigid lo govern our- i
selves and work out our own des- ;
tiny. Thai is all we can and all '
we do ask. (In the next steamer:
sailing south there will he a ma- ,
jority of the first legislative body!
lo assemble in Alaska. It is a
momentous occasion and one:
fraught willr much importance lot
•our weal or woe.
To you. gentlemen, we have en- i
trusted our future. Bo your |
duty.
THE NEW ROUTE OF IMMIGRA
TION.
The North may look forward
with the rest of the world in an
ticipation of new experiences j
when the Panama canal opens.
Tickets are being sold in Kurope
on the install.. plan to vast
numbers of people who hope lo
come to the new land of promise
along tile. Pacific slope of Amer
ica. They know of the crowded
eonditionli of the eastern part of
1he American continent, and will
(lock lo the western slope. They
will pour into ports from San
Diego lo Seward. Canadian and
American cities will experience a
flood of imnffgral ion.
Migration moves largely along
(he isothermic lines. People from
warm countries follow the low
latitudes, and those of colder
climes come north. This being
the case, Alaska and Yukon may
expect more Scandinavian peo
ple, and should they come, they
will he welcome. There are no
better people lo develop and oc
cupy any land. Other northern
European people also may he ex
pected to reach this region. The
bulk of the new-comers will land
in the stales and British Colum
bia, hut Yukon and Alaska are
destined to move forward and
will draw a percentage of the new
Europeans as well as those lrom
the states and Canada direct.
Railways projected for Alaska and
Yukon will he realized. II is only
a matter of lime.
The northla.ml, I hen being made
accessible, will see her fertile val
leys peopled and developed along
lines of agriculture and grazing
as well as in mining. Fishing in
dustries will expand to a vast de
gree. Coal mining and opera
lions in limber also must not be
overlooked.
Truly, Alaska and Yukon, as
Daniel Guggenheim onee staled,
comprise a land without a peo
ple. The people will come, and
tin1 Panama canal will be a great
factor in hastening their advent.
Alaska will do well to make
known her resources and oppor
tunities more than she does. The
Panama-Pacific exposition will
he a good place for Alaska to
make a demonstration of her re
sources.
EDITORIAL MOTES.
In Gincinnali me citizens ask
themselves “W ho hit Johnny Pat
terson ?”
Tin* Ouurl of Appeals lias
gracefully yielded to the demands
of The allorney general and or
dered a retrial of Ihe Olson case.
Now, Ilial. Mr. Iiiieh is to lake
charge of Ihe Ouggenheim inlor
es Is in Alaska, we can look for
smoother polities emenaling from
Orca Inlet.
Valdez will again have to thank
Senator Knule Nelson and a num
)»er of other friends of Ihe upper j
house of congress for remember- ]
ing he wants of Ihe community.
According to the death rale in
the Oily of Mexico during Ihe
week, he papers will md publish
Ihe mortality record to show it
to he I he “ heal I hies! city on I he
coni imml."
The militant sull'ragelles of
England wlm have just been re
leased from jail accuse I heir
guards of having brutally forced
them to eat during their enact
ment of a hunger sirikc.
From I heir actions we could
not in justice to womanhood call
the militant suffragettes of Eng
land, members of the fair sex. We
might denominate them the
Dnnny brook fair sex, however.
We can now understand why
the members of the West Vir
ginia legislature went into a pan
ic when they heard the striking
miners marching upon them. The
miners were led by “Mother"
Jones.

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
(< Facts Are b acts”
It i* a fact that VaidSz beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in prefer .'nee to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper,
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
