THE MAIL CONTRACT
The significance of the awarding of the Seward-Iditarod mail con
tract is beginning to be realized by our people. With a mail service
four times a month over this trail, the Seward route will become im
portant as a means of communication between the coast and interior
Alaska. It is reported that Colonel H. E. Revelle, the contractor, will
put the trail in first-class condition. He is said to be on his way to
Iditarod to arrange details, and will prepare relay stations along the
trail between this city and Seward. It will probably require as many
as twenty dog teams to convey the mail. The colonel has completed
his bond, which was oversubscribed by Seward business men, showing
that the people of that thriving city appreciate the importance of the
undertaking.
To the businessmen and the people of this district generally, the
change in the mail route will mean much. The contract is for a term
of four years, and it is quite probable that by that time rail communi
cation will have been established between the coast and the Yukon.
In the meantime travel will be made easier and safer over this trail,
and much business will be transacted along the route. It will effect a
saving of from two to three weeks in time for incoming and outgoing
mail, thus facilitating business transactions to that extent. Colonel
Revelle can depend upon the hearty co-operation of our citizens in his
undertaking._
The fire alarm of Wednesday afternoon, which brought out the
volunteer fire fighters, has suggested that it might be a good plan to
have weekly fire drills. It would be a diversion for these dull times
before spring work begins, and would be of practical benefit in making
our citizens familiar with the fire equipment. Iditarod has been fortu
nate in its freedom from fires this winter, but too much precaution can
not be taken. _
UNBELIEVABLE IGNORANCE
The greatest obstacle that Alaska has had to overcome in its fight
for recognition as an integral part of the United States has been the
unbelievable ignorance displayed as to Alaska and its resources, as
well as to conditions here. The government has spent many thousands
of dollars in printing official reports, giving exact data as to resources,
education, fisheries, weather conditions, governmental problems to be
considered, and dozens of other subjects, and these reports are to be
had for the asking by any citizen of the United States. It is the more
surprising, therefore, that a great newspaper published in that “Hub
of the universe,” Boston, the supposed center of everything worth while
in education and culture, should indulge in a diatribe against Alaska
that displays, aside from its besotted ignorance, a venom against the
territory and the government railway project that can be accounted
for only on one ground—the fear of government ownership. That
doctrine has become a bugaboo to the representatives of private mo
nopoly and greed, and in their efforts to belittle the proposal they hesi
tate at no lie or display of ignorance and stupidity.
The Boston Herald recently contained an attack on Alaska and the
Alaska government railway project. the article stated that Alaska
possessed only gold, and that, having been looted of its only posses
sion, it is now “the desolate waste of yore,” and that “any attempt to
lesuscitate it is as hopeless as pouring gold dollars into the shafts of
its abandoned gold mines." “Fairbanks,” writes this ignoramus, “fif
teen years ago had 1 8,000 inhabitants, and Ruby, which had 8,000 in
1897, has now a scant 800, while Nome, which in the period of its
glory had 36,000 inhabitants, now has but 300. The natural re
sources are a joke. Soft coal is there, to be sure, but of wretched qual
ity and useless because of its inaccessibility.” Speaking of the lack of
women outside the “decadent” and “rotting” towns, the writer says
that “the loose living and consequent disease are beyond description.”
Seated in a den in a crowded city, where crime and disease and
corruption are all around him, where his trained newspaper eye could
observe in one day more decadence and rottenness and “loose living
and consequent disease” than could be observed in Alaska in a lifetime,
this besotted knave undertakes to tell his “cultured” readers of con
ditions existing 3,000 miles away of which he is shamefully ignorant.
Putting his statements as to the population of Alaska towns aside as
being too ridiculous to need reply, let us say for his benefit and for

the benefit of others who may be equally deluded as to Alaska and its
people, that in these “decadent and rotting towns,” and in fact
throughout the territory, the inhabitants will compare favorably with
( any people in the world, Boston not excluded, as intelligent, law-abid
, ing, moral citizens. As to his statements in regard to Alaska’s re
j sources, let him, and others like him, read the government reports on
. our resources before he attempts to scatter “information” on the sub
ject.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says that “it is surprising, and dis
> couraging, too, to find such a lack of definite knowledge and so mucli
> malicious misinformation in the editorial offices of any newspaper—
; much less on the editorial side of a newspaper of the influence of the
l Boston Herald,” and a contributor to that paper says “it is one of the
- worst editorials that has ever appeared not only in America, but any
i where in the civilized world." He continued: “I want to tell you
that the men who, against the most tremendous obstacles, have opened
up the interior of Alaska stand equal to any among the bravest and
most purposeful men of America, and it ill becomes a journal pub
lished almost under the Harvard seal of ‘Veritas’! to libel them as the
t Herald has done in this editorial.”

5 William Ansley, the defeated candidate for the postmastership at
5 Iditarod, was supported by a petition signed by 700 patrons of the
, office, all of which indicates that the Democratic machine is working
i nicely, says the Douglas Island News. The Democratic machine may
i be working nicely, but it would be tolerably hard to make Bill think so.
Speaking of mail contracts, the winter service of the local contrac
! tors has been the subject of much favorable comment. The prompt
1 ness with which the mail has arrived, despite weather conditions, has
been much appreciated. Messrs. Griffis & Haley are entitled to the
! thanks of the community for their good work this season.
TROUBLES OF THE JUDGE
I'd hate to be a jurist and listen by the day to lawyers whom
a purist would feel desire to slay; to hear their mangled grammar, !
their pleadings long and dull, and have at hand no hammer with
which to bust a skull. I’d hate to sit forever and watch attorneys
rag the witness pert and clever, the witness with a jag, the witness
scared and rattled until three-quarters dead, the witness who, em
battled, would punch a lawyer’s head. I’d hate to sit and ponder
o’er books that bring despair, o’er stupid laws that wander and
drivel Jove knows where. I’d hate to have to hearken to skates
who talk too much, with intellects that darken all matters that they
touch. I’d hate to make decision on knotty points of law, and
know the next court’s vision is sure to find a flaw. To watch o’er
stupid juries with minds upon the blink, would fill my sou! with
furies and drive me soon to drink. To sit for years and measure
| out law, upon the bench, and be denied the pleasure of taking
monkey wrench and killing ten attorneys, and other healthful sport
—oh, gee, I’m glad my journeys don’t lead me into court.—Walt
Mason.
CELEBRATION AT FAIRBANKS
; -
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
Everybody is happy. The Alaska railroad
bill passed the senate this afteronon, and all
Fairbanks is celebrating, the whistles of the
city having announced the glad tidings
shortly after 2 o’clock this afternoon. Sim
ultaneously with the blowing of the N. G.
whistle, a fire alarm wa3 turned in at the
city hall, and the boys of the fire depart
ment had a run in celebration of the big
event.
Shortly after the news from Washington
was received and telephoned over town, the
flags began to come to the fore. The flag
over the American Bank of Alaska was the
first to come to light, the banner at the
First National Bank being a close second.
Other preparations for a celebration are still
being made, and the city will therefore be
in gala attire all day tomorrow.
Excitement is at its height all over the
city. On all corners people are to be seen
talking over the passage of the bill, and
many are the congratulations and hand
shakes which are being passed among the
business men and the citizens in general.
“Prosperity for Fairbanks” seemed to be
the general slogan.
Among those who are out with appro
priate decorations is the Sourdough Ex
press. One side of their light rig is cov
ered by a painting representing the new
Alaska railroad coming into the Fairbanks
terminal station.

QUALITY OF ALASKA CCAL
Recent Test Not Satisfactory, and Another
Will Be Made
Washington, Jan. 20.—During the discus
sion of the Alaska coal question in the sen
ate, Senator Clark of Wyoming declared
that while the chemical tests have shown
that the Bering river. Alaska, coal is better
than the West Virginia product, the actual
naval tests aboard the ship show' that the
Bering river field actually falls down in sup
plying coal that the navy can use.
Senator Jones of Washington, in reply,
said that the Alaska coal tests promised to
result in a scandal; that from advices he
lias received from the scene of the tests
there is evidently a conspiracy in w'hich gov
ernment agents, or one government agent,
is endeavoring to avoid a fair test of the
Alaska coal by the navy. He stated that ;
he had received a letter from a former mem- !
ber of congress, who tells him that the coal
used in the naval tests aboard the cruiser
Maryland was not properly gathered, and
did not furnish a fair sample of the product
of the Bering fields, and that the report of
the naval officer in charge of the test, who
says he is not satisfied with the test and
will make another one with better-selected
coal, would seem to bear out the conten
tion of his informants.

WERE WE HANDED A LEMON?
(Petersburg Progressive)
What are we to think of the situation in
which we find ourselves in regard to our
territorial legislature? Are we to take for
granted that our legislators were so dense
that they failed to interpret our organic act
propertly, or are we to think that the at
torney general is too narrow to see all the
points involved? In cither case, and for the
present, at least, we have apparently been
handed a lemon.
It was generally assumed that we were
given the power to make laws more suitable
to our conditions. Being familiar with, and
knowing the particular remedies, if applied,
would better the conditions, it was but nat
ural that our legislators inferred that what
ever laws were enacted, provided they suit
ed our station, were to be part and parcel
of the federal laws, and to think the con
i trary seems unreasonable, in view of the
restrictions imposed upon us by the organic
act. Moreover, the expenses incidental to
the enforcement of additional laws to our
codes—if we take in consideration that all
the machinery to carry out the acts is al
ready established—would be comparatively
so little that it is inconceivable that con
gress had in mind the creation of other
courts and officers, thereby adding an extra
and entirely useless burden on the people,
( be it whatever it may. Again, if congress
had so intended, expressed authority and
directions would have been given, and to
think the contrary is the very acme of ab
surdity.
Another glaring absurdity which is trace
able to the attorney general is shown in the
following: Marshal Faulkner has instructed
his deputies that unless the territory or the
individuals pay the required fees, not to
serve any processes under the territorial
laws. As though the fee was all that was
needed to give a federal official authority to
enforce our local laws. If our local laws
are not considered part of the federal laws,
a United States deputy marshal, or any
other federal official, has no power, even if
paid, to execute any processes, except he is
appointed by a territorial official. The
power behind the official is his authority
to act.
Now, in order to squeeze a little common
sense out of that lemon, a special session of
the legislature may be called, which can
only result in further complication and add
more expense. In view of all the facts in
the case, we opine that the best course for
us to follow is to let the court interpret our
organic law, and should the contention ad
vanced by the attorney general be found
correct, let us return the worthless instru
j merit to congress with our compliment and
such other explanations as may meet the
situation, such as that we expect unrestrict
ed freedom, and not the freedom of the
short-chained dog.
“ONE OF THE BEST PAPERS”
(Linotype Bulletin, New York. Dec., 1913)
For mere than six months of each year
almost impassable barriers raised by snow,
ice and distance separate the hardy denizens
j of Iditarod, Alaska, from actual contact with
i -.heir kind on “the Outside.” An occasional
mail gets in by dog team, and the more
important news of the world filters in by
way of wireless at the rate of “six bits” to
a dollar per word. These conditions de
mand a local newspaper, and that demand
is well supplied in The Iditarod Pioneer, one
! of the best papers in the Far North.
Shortly after establishing The Pioneer,
Publisher Arbuckle decided that the linotype
way was the way for him, and about four J
months in advance of the opening of navi- '
gation this year he entered his order with
our San Francisco agency for a quick chamge
model 8 three magazine linotype, and asked
that they have it ready to go north on the
first steamer that could reach St. Michael.
We did our part, and the sequel appeared
in the Pioneer of October 4, the first issue
produced on the new machine.
TAX-LEVYING POWER NOT INVOLVED
(Juneau Empire)
Contrary to the belief that seems to have
found lodgment in some places, the opinion
of Attorney General McRevnolds does not
strike at the power of the Alaska legislature
t) levy taxes. If his contention is sound, the
legislature will only have to provide a dif
ferent method of collecting taxes than
through federal officials. While such a
course might not be as convenient as the
tax collection plan that was made a part
of the territorial revenue laws, it would not
necessarily be any more costly or less effi
cient.
We guarantee satisfaction.

WEALTHY ALASKA MEN
MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR
_
Seattle, Dec. 10. Two wealthy Alaska
mining men, H. and J\ Juhlin, who bought
a hotel at 2200% First avenue on November
20, are missing, and the local police de
partment has been asked to assist in the
search for them.
The Juhlin brothers purchased the Alex
ander hotel from the real estate firm of
Aascn & Sexton, 1310 First avenue, paying
$800 as a deposit. They agreed to take
possession of the place November 29, at
which time they were to pay $400 more.
Since paying the $800 the men have not
been seen by the realty dealers, and O. P.
Byiagton, agent for Aasen & Sexton, re
ported the affair to the police.
The two Juhlins recently came out of
the North with considerable money. They
negotiated for the purchase of a house for
$3,500, but the deal was not consummated, j
Later they made the $S00 payment on the
Alexander hotel and promised to return
three days later and make an additional
payment. From their conversation it was
learned that the two brothers owm mining
property in Alaska valued at nearly $100,
000. They came out to spend the winter,
and purchased the hotel as a side business
venture.
Detectives and patrolmen were furnished
with descriptions of the missing men, and
the city is being searched in an effort to
locate them.
ODD FACTS
_
The United States is the world’s largest
producer of motion picture films, and the
quantity reported during the year aggregat
ed more than 00,000,000 feet, approximately
11,000 miles, or enough to stretch from New
York to Manila.
Bank notes that speak have been patented
by an English inventor to baffle forgers.
The edge of the note is perforated so that,
when placed in a phonograph, the rough
edge generates sound waves that form
words. A disputed note placed in the ma
chine would say, for instance: “X am a
genuine five-pound note.”
The largest and most commodious theater
in New Zealand has just been completed at
a cost of $100,000. There is seating accom
modation for 2.300 persons, and the stage,
which is the widest in New Zealand, will
J easily hold the property and scenic effects
of any production which has visited New
Zealand.
London will be one of the best lighted
cities in the world when the installation of
a new system of centrally suspended lamps
using high pressure gas with inverted burn
ers has been completed. Although the j
amount of illumination will be increased [
by G,000 candle power, it is estimated that I
a saving of about 034,000 a year will be I
made over the old system.
Motion picture theaters now play a part I
in the catching of criminals in Bohemia, j
When a criminal of importance is “wanted”
by the police authorities of Prague, and
difficulty is experienced in finding him, a :
photograph is sent to every motion picture !
theater in the country, and this is shown,
with a short explanatory note, until the
criminal i; found or the order for the dis
play of the photograph is withdrawn.
