A Last Word.
Editor Prosi-kctor.—I had con
cluded to write no more in the dis
cussion with the News, hut as the
editorial in the last issue accuses
me wrongfully, 1 wish to say a
word.
I am taxed with indulging in
personalities. I deny the charge.
I have avoided all such all through.
In my last letter my line of argu
ment forced me to mention the
speech made and the speaker at
the senatorial banquet in favor of
territorial government. I refrained
from asing any other a|q>ellation
than that so courteously conferred
by the toastmaster; I did it in all
kindness.
That gentleman must understand
that by assuming tbe position of
advocate of a public cause be be
comes a public personage to that
extent. He is subject to public
comment and criticism, and so are
all his acts relating thereto. I did
not criticize his acts or speech—
merely referred to the whole mat
ter, which was quite sufficient for
any purpose. No personality was
intended and none made. Person
alities are not argument.
1 do not think the News has
treated me with as much considera
tion.
I admire the courage and enthsi
asm of the young man to grapple
with the subject, but think he was
weak in wisdom to do so. It was—
it is—a hard task. He certainly
deserves credit for doing us well as
be did. I never have sought to
detract irom that credit. It seems
that he is disinclined to appreciate
a kindness.
The only point of real argument
of the News that I have not replied
to is that of the alleged income.
The management of my side of the
argument did not make reply ne
cessary. However, if it should be
come necessary in the future, 1 can
assure the News that an analyza
timi of those figures will “shatter
their idol.”
1 must emphatically reaffirm all
my previous statements.

Paste This in Your Hat.
A territorial convention may ac
complish much good for Alaska,
and it may be another “bloomin
farce.” It all depends on the peo
ple.—Douglas News.
Now let the Record-Miner make
this guess: That there will not be
a dozen men in that convention
that are doing unything to devel
op the great lq||pt resources of
Alaska who will favor territrrial
government. Those who will favor
it are political lawyers, clerks, gov
esnment officials looking for an
elective office, and those who have
no possible chance of getting an
appointment under the present ad
ministration. Now cut this out
and paste this in your hat, and
when the covention is over read
it.—Record-Miner.
The above is published so that
the readers of the Prospector may
have a memo, in their hats.
Next month a new railroad in
Seward Peninsula will be added to
the utilities of Alaska. It is but a
small thing by way of length, but
it marks another effort to afford
those facilities for transport which
are to-day the crying need of the
mining country of the North.
The little road will minister to
the necessities of the Cape Nome
region, starting at the mouth of
the Solomon River and terminat
ing, for the present, at Council
City, 51 miles inland.
Alaskan railroads are not num
erous, but those which exist have
proved as beneficent as they are
profitable. Supplies which went
over the White Pass at a cost of
30c. to $1 per pound, delivered, are
now borne from Seattle to Dawson
per the White Pass and Yukon
Railroad for 4 jc. per pound.
A little road, known as the
“Wild (loose Railroad,” from Nome
to Anvil Creek, only 5 miles in
land, was paid lor nine times over
in. the course of last season.
Therefore the prospects for
Alaskan railroads are promising
from both points of view, that of
the enterprising men who con
struct them ami that of the regions
whose development they stimulate.
