Following are the resolutions
adopted by the Arctic Brotherhood
convention in Seattle regarding a
delegate in Congress.
It would be a good idea if eVerv
Alaskan who has a personal ac
quaintance with any senator or
representative would send him a
copy of these resolutions, accom
panied by a personal request for
aid in securing the desired legis
lation. This would assist greatly
in getting a delegate bill through
congress.
To the President and Congress
of the United States:
Whereas: The Grand Camp of
the Arctic Brotherhood in conven
tion assembled, and:
Whereas: The first and foremost
principles of the Brotherhood are
the furtherance and advancement
of Alaska, and;
Whereas: The present conven
tion is composed of representatives
from every important point in the
dis’rict, who, being thoroughly con
versant with the needs and require
ments of the District of Alaska and
having an intimate knowledge of
its resources and the sentiments of
its white residents, sixty thousand
in ituiulier. oe it
Resolved: That we demand os
their inherent right that the Con
gress oi the United States shall at
once enact the necessary legislation
which will give Ala>ka adequate
representation by election in that
body:

It is announced with some semb
lance of authority that the Valdez
and Copper river R. R. company
ba^ if'),000,0<X) in hand with which
to commence the construction of its
proposed line, work upon which
will he commenced at both ends i
early in the spring. It is sincerely j
to he hoped that this is someth.ng ■
more than another blast of hot air
wafted to us from that direction.
Yuhlez is the natural gateway to
the interior of Alaska and all Alas
ka willin' pleased should this la
test report prove true.—Mining
Journal.
Speaking of the proposed beach
lines to connect with the Alaska
cable, the P. 1. shows its famitiar
arity with the geography of this
section l>y the following remarkable
etatt meat:
At Kayak the cable would again
fee broken, the two ends brought
ashore and another trunk, station
established, either on tin- island or
the mainland. From this point
the beach wires would extend
southward some eighty BiWtK tap
ping the rich beach district and al
so up the Copper river to Tiekhell,
the Copper river land wire station,
thus placing all the mining district
of the Copper river in direct com
(sun cation with Kayak to the
South of the river.
According to Washington dis
patches, since Perkins is a candi
date for marshal at Nome, the Alas
kans at Washington are consolidat
ing on John G. Heid to run for
Brady’s place.
The Juneau public school won
the gold medal at the worlds fair
«t St. Louis. The Nome school got
a silver medal. Valdez was not
represented in the exhibits at all
lor some reason.
The measure providing for the
extension of the U. 8. coal land
^two to Alaska has passed the)
House,
Speaking of territorial govern
ment for Alaska, \V. B. Hoggat, of
Juneau, in an interview at Indian
apolis said:
The business men in Alaska are
generally opjKieed to a territorial
torm of (government. The politici
ans and professional men are the
ones that favor a territorial govern
ment. It would create offices that
they would like to fill. Now the
only officers we elect are municipal
officers. We elect city councils and
tight over them as vigorously as
the people here in the states tight
over the election of higher officers.
All officers other than municipal
are appointed by the government
at Washington.
The use of garnet as an abrasive
is firmlv established in certain
manufacturing industries and there
is little doubt that this material
will continue to find favor, not
withstanding the great expansion
in the utilization of other abrasives,
particularly cotundum and carbo
rundum. In the United States the
production of garnet now amounts
to over 4,000 tons yearly and the
value of the yearly product approx
imates $1,'j0,000. The principal
supplies hitherto have been de
rived from the Adirondack region
of New York, smaller quantities
being obtained from Pennsylvania,
Connecticut and North Carolina.
Some of the localities in the Alas
kan range where schist predomi
nates abound in garnet and i: is
more than likely that when better
transportation facilities are fur
nished these deposits will have a
commercial value.
From One Who Knows.
Col. P. H. Ray, U. S. A., late in
command of the Department of
Alaska says:
There are greater resources in
Alaska to-day, independent of its
gold, than in the Pacific coast
state, if the timber is left out. In
almost all parts of the valley of the
Yukon you cun ripen oats, wheat
and all kinds o grain. I have seen
blue-joint grass grow two tons to
the acre and I have seen 1.400
bushels of potatoes grown on four
acres; timothy I have seen stand
ing four feet high and growing
wild for miles around.
Although the United States has
owned Alaska for more than thirtv
years, my command hut a short
time ago cut the first road from
the Yukon River.
The resources of Alaska in fish
are boundless and greater than the
North Sea and N.-w Fouiidland
combined. All we want is to set
tle Alaska with people who will
develop all its namral resources
and there will be no grander coun
try in any part of the United
States. The valley of the Yukon
is richer than the valley of the
Missouri.
And yet there are a few old fogies
and a number of young goslings
who never sum- the interior of Alas
ka who say ‘Siwash Brady’ is ‘‘too
slow,” not up to date because he is
an earnest advocate of Alaska j>eo
ple doing all they can to promote
agriculture in order that the drain
of money for produce from th>s
couutry may lie stopped.—Trans
cript.
The recent accident to the United
States cahleship Burnside on Rip
ple rock in Seymour narrows has
so accentuated the fact that the i
rock is one of the greatest dangers
in Northern waters that an effort
is about to be made by navigators
to have it dynamited.
