Entered at the \ ahiez jmstoftice as second class matter.
The account of the brutal treat
ment administered to a horse on
the summit hv some musher, pub
lished in another column, expos*s
one of the most tiendish acts ever
known to have been performed on
this trail. It is a disgrace to the
men who were working along the
trail that n*> action was taken to
punish the man who did such a
thing. A man who cannot handle
horses without abusing them
should he run out of the country.
Altlkough the attention of the
people of Valdez was called to the
advisability of having a good ex
hibit at Portland, some time ago,
they did not think the matter
worth considering until pro-hied
Bp alsnit it by the governor. It is
now so late in the season that there
is very little time to arrange a
rreditablejdisplay, hut it is to W
Imped that the ■ o limit lee in charge
will not pass the matter up as has
been done l>efore. We want ad
vertising and the Portland fair is
a good place to get it with little
expense.
A theory was advanced by a
well informed citizen of Valdez re
cently to the effect that there is a
gigantic combine in exist* nee,
whose object is to keep back devel
opment in Alaska, politically and
in a business way, until such time
a? the combination could secure
the bulk of tiie desirable property,
such a* mines, fisheries, etc., after
which the country would set an
epoch of unparalled prosperity.
H is idea is that this combine in
tends to keep toe development oi
the country liai k until the present
property holders become disgusted,
and throw up their holdings. This
combine !.- supposed to lie com
port'd of the cannery interests,
several <>f the Alaska.olficiuls. and
prominent mining men of the
Stales, assisted bv numerous sen
ators and congressmen. At times
it looks a* if such was the ease.
It took one crowd of lawyers to
Iramt the Alaska code.and it keeps
another aggregation hllsV trying To
pilot their clients around its de
ficiencies. Laws do trot make pen
pit- inherently good. They merely
encourage them not to be bad.—
Ktitfr* Nugget.
The Cablegram is trying to gal
vanize Si .ka into life. It is pub

pal one oi which is the apathy o:'
tj*e citizens.
The nevts of Ileilig’.- resignation
as Clerl. did not cause much sur
prise here, as iiis removal from o>
lice has l*een foreseen for some
time. There a ;»**, however, con
siderable differ* nee of opinion as
to tviK* his successor would he.

Railroad Men Fighting.
The hearings Udore tiie commit
tee on territories of the Hoti-e dis
closed a three-cornefed light be
tween the Trans Alaska Railroad
t’o.. the Valdez »V Yukon Co., anti
the Alaska Raili •oiid Co. The tirst
| is the Hazelett-Bratnolier company,
and the Valdez iV Yukon Co. rep
resents an assignment* of all tin
railroad interests here. except
Hazelett’s, from the Akron, S;cr
[ iir.g iV Northern down to the pres
: ent time, including tin- Helm hold
ings.
Edward I'. Brown, who appeared
for tiie Valdez iV Yukon C>>.. stated
that his company held the right
of-way originally granted to the
Akron. Sterling A* Northern, which
has had extensions of time carry
ing it to Feh. 1 •;, llMio.
Brown chums that under the
wording of th>* grant, and parallel
supreme court decisions, his com
pany had a perpetual 2t)0 foot
right-nf-wav from Valdez to Eagle,
whieli could oi.iv i»e voided bv act
of congress or by action of the
Alaska courts started by the attor
ney general. His contention is
that the time expiring makes the
grant voidable hut not void, and
uia any t> ia r rn.ni 'Hunting over
tiie right-of-way will havi to pay
rus company for the privilege.
According to Brown’s s aiement
Judge Stewart, of tiie supreme
court oi Pennsylvania, i' president
of the company, and the slock of
the concern is signed and m the
hands of the Knickerbocker Trust
t o. ready tor delivery, lie claims
thal Ho I dredge and Kolby. who are
, non interested m the Hazeleil
project, sold his client - the right
1 of-way grant, and are acting in
j had faith by working tor another
road over tiie same route. This
s alenieiii brought K Ihv to the
door wi.ii tie si a eluent that Stew -
art had never paid hill and Hold
redge for the interests turned over.
