The laying of the cable from
here, which started Monday, is one
of the most important events in
the history of Valdez. By making
this the terminus of the line the
government recognizes Valdez as
being the gateway to the interior.
With a cable connecting us with
Seattle, land lines l>etween here
and all important interior points
and the various mail routes all
starting from here, the town is tied
down and given a permanence that
no amount of local improvements
could do, and real estate values are
lnnind to feel the effect of such im
provements and will increase ma
terially. Valdez has the natural
advantages to make her the me
tropolis of Alaska, and is rapidly
advancing toward that position.
While we are having no boom, the
town is improving in a substantial
way every season, and another
year, with the stimulus of the cable,
the Fairbanks travel, and in all
probability a wagon road, will see
her making more rapid strides
than ever toward the ]»osition of
supply point for the whole Interior
of Alaska, and the metropolis of
this great laud of gold.
*
It is to Ikj regretted that news
matter is so scarce now days that
one of the local papers is forced to
till its columns with pointless abuse
of the governor of the district.
While some of the Juneau people
may have reasons for opposing the
re-appointment of (iove-inor Brady,
the people of this section can find
no consistent reason for doing so.
The governor has always been
friendly toward Valdez; has never
done a thing in any way to hurt
us or hinder our progress, and,]
above all, he is—what is hard to
find among Alaska politicians—an
honest man. \Ve will admit that
the Ketchikan Ex has what seems
to him a good reason for opposing
Brady, lie is naturally disappoint
ed at being an Ex. But that is no
reason why a paper here that is
talking “one party,” should allow i
its admiration of the redoubtable
Swineforth and the party he repre
sents to induce it to indulge in
abuse of a man who is a capable
officer of the district.
Follow up your teaching of “one
party” if you will, but cut loose
from your Ketchikan idol, and
don’t get the idea that he and his
ideas stan 1 for all that is right in
Alaska. Talk with some of the
representative business men of
Valdez and see what their opinion
is of the governor, and of your at
tachment to the Ketchikan Sage,
anp see what they think of your
habit of wasting space in abuse of
the chief executive of the nation
and everyone else who belongs to
the party in power. Consider Val
dez and not Southeastern Alaska.

We have known that the Judge
would be willing to make Alaska
liis home for some time—but lie’s
always had a craving for a “com
mission” entitling him to sit upon
the bench of the United States Dis

We are of the opinion that if
Roosevelt should lie elected Presi
dent next November, that commis
sion might lie forthcoming.—Times
