THE ALASKA PROSPECTOR
published at Valdez, Alaska, every Thursday hy the PztapntnR
Ptmi.ismso Co. Phonk, Main l.
Entered at the Valdez poatoffiee as sn'nnd r|n>*s matter.
There a p|>cnrs to have been a
misunderstanding l>y the residents
■of the reservation as to the inten
tion of the eon neii in establishing|
:s tuition fee for children out of1
town. This step was not taken, as ]
many supposed, in order to force,
the reservation children out of the
school, hut to assist them in secur-’
ing government assistance toward '
the supjiort of the school. The
•reservation jteople are entitled to1
•government help in the school
•matter and if they can put it to
the department that a heavy tuition
fee is to be charged them in Val
dez, it might assist in securing
government aid. Valdez is per
fectly willing that children from
out of town shall attend, hut as a
matter of justice and in order to
maintain the standard of the school
the j>eople must contribute toward
its supfMvrt themselves or get the
government assistance to which
-they are entitled. It the reserva
tion enn secure an appropriation
sullicient to help pay one teacher.
it will enable the town to maintain
a first-class school and ullow all
outside children to attend.
The condition of the town fire I
wells at the present time is a source
of much worry to our citizens. At!
this time of the year there is very 1
little water seeping through the
ground, and as a consequence the
wells are nearly dry and arc of'
absolutely no value for lire protec
tion. An attempt has been made!
each year to deepen them hut the
work 'win? always done too late,,
when the water had started to raise,,
and the job could not he properly
done. Now is the time to do tin
work and it should he attended to.
for under present conditions we arc
helpless in vase of lire.
But the governor claims, perhaps
truthfully, that an exagerated us*
has Itec-n made of his words by 1 he
promoters of certain Alaska mines.
Others have been caught in the
same trap. Only a few days ago a
Chicago editor found it necessary
to say that he had not recotn
-mendc-d a mining proposition in
■Alaska. He hud certilicit to the
character of the promoter, and his
words were adroitly used so as to
seemingly approve the enterprise
'in which the man was engaged.
It is the part of charity to sus
.pend judgment on the Governor
'Until he can be heard, and sensible
ipeople will. Meanwhile nobody
-thinks he will resign his olliee or
•be kicked out.—Guide.
The decision of the United States
supreme court in the Rasmussen
case gives to Alaska tlie blessings
of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, henceforth, as Alaskans
can enjoy all the constitutional
guarantees. It is a matter of con
gratulation that we are still under
the old Hag, no representation to
.congress to the contrary, notwith
standing.—Dispatch.
The Seward people, by their
grasping policy have lost a very
important addition to their town.
They will find out in the long run
that it does not always pay to try
.and stick the government.
Now is the lime >u clean up your
yards and pre cut any danger of
sickness when warm weather starts.
The Alaska halibut fisheries are
productive every mouth in the
year. Even in the month of Jan
uary this year there was shipjied
from Alaska to the United >Slates
fresh halibut weighing nearly one
jniilion pounds and valued at
928,282, The halibut fisheries are
increasing their output every
■gnonth, 1 oe shipments from Alaska
in January last year were valued
at 922,138. In the lirst seven
months in the current fiscal year
4he shipments amounted to -f.h-bV
008 pounds, worth at the point.- of
Shipment 91 l'i,^71. as again t
1,481,400 pounds, worth $.”>0,884 in
the same month in the fiscal year
1904.
At a meeting of the director* of
the Wild Goose Mining and Trad* |
ing Co. held in Snn Francisco last
Novemlier, a resolu’ion was passed
declaring a dividend of 30 |>er cent
on the capital stock of $1,000,000.
This plnces $300,000 in the hands
of the stockholders. The dividend
is the largest ever paid on any
Alaska investment.
