THE ETERNAL GUGGEN HEIMS.
Naturally a discussion of the
Alaska railroad problem could not
arise without a sizzle from the Gug
genheim siphon. This time Judge
Wickersham starts it. It was ex
pected by everybody that the Gug
genheims would get in through the
back door, but the delegate has drag
ged them into the bar through the
front way. The question remains,
is he telling something he knows oi
ls he just squirting the siphon?
Since Cobb, of Alabama, project
ed into the House of Representatives
during a convivial night session, when
he lost his train of thought, the fa
mous query, “Where was I at?”
greater need of a similar question,
with a credible answer, has scarcely
arisen.
“Where are the Guggenheims at?”
is a demand for information that
ought to be answered for the en
lightenment of «the whole country,
not Alaska alone. That still unan
swered inquiry, “Where is Birch?”
may safely be left on the shelf until
Birch’s employers are located.
Delegate Wickersham tells the na
tional house that the Guggenheim
lobby is trying to defeat the railroad
bill, which includes the purchase of
the Copper River & Northwestern
railway by the government. This is
important if true. Popular suspic
ion in Alaska, not to say belief, is
just the reverse of what the dele
gate says in his declaration.
Not only in Alaska, but in Wash- j
ington and elsewhere—in every lo-!
cality where anything is known of the j
Guggenheim & Northwestern rail- j
way, it is taken for granted that the .
Alaska Syndicate would be glad to i
unload that white elephant on the j
federal government, or any other!
sucker that might be induced to buy j
it at cost, including the graft of the
inside workers. It is even suspected ,
that they would discount the $22,000,-,
000 expense bill.
When the proposal for a govern
ment railroad in Alaska first reeciv- '
ed serious consideration in the na- ;
tional capital the statement was j
widely made in reputable newspapers ;
that the Guggenheims had agents in |
Washington to try to unload their j
Copper River bubble on the country j
. at large. That seemed the only pos- ■
sible chance for the Syndicate to j
recover the large bales of mazuma
it had sunk into a bottomless pit.1
The railroad commission which made
a casual trip over the proposed j
routes in 1912 reported that its mem
bers could see nothing worth while |
except the Copper River line, over j
which they traveled partly on foot, '
partly on handcars, and sometimes
in choo-choo cars.
That the Guggenheims do not j
want a rival railroad in Alaska built'
by anybody, is easy to believe. It I
is hard to believe anything to the ]
contrary. But why should they main- ;
tain a lobby to prevent the govern-i
ment from buying their dead duck1
line for what it cost, or even what
it is worth? According to the rail-;
road organ at Cordova the company ;
had to spend $320,000 between Cor- j
dova and Chitina last summer to j
make the running of trains through \
the winter a reasonable probability, j
Judge Wickersham ought to dia- j
gram his theory in this railroad is
sue and prop it up with some evi
dence so it can be understood.
The handsomest girl in this town
is a reader of this pao r, we are proud
to state and she is now reading this
item.
When a girl has enough hair of her
own to hide her ears, she looks loft
ily down on the girl who buys most
of her hair.
Girls have peculiarly romantic
names nowadays, but occasionally a
girl baby is found With a good old
fashioned name.
Have you ever taken notice that
the man who cannot tell when the
banks open, can generally tell when
the saloons close.
It is a noted fact that many women
I frequently "lose their head.” Such
'being the case, why do they insist in
j buying and wearing twenty-dollar
' hats?
It seems that Just as soon as some
men succeed !n gaining a residence
on Eeasy street, some other fellow
comes along and attempts to shove
him in the gutter. Such is life.

The president of the American
Butchers’ Association says that "much
of the virile force of the American
people is derived from rich, red,
juicy beef.” The American people of
the immediate future will be minus
the “virile force,” with round steak
at 23 cents a pound.
A queen bee lays from two to three
thousands eggs In twenty-four hours.
The man who will discover how to
cross a queen bee with a hen will
soon have money enough to buy an
automobile for himself and all his
poor relatives.
Now the critics are trying to prove
that Paul Revere never took that his
torical ride, and that Maud Muller
never raked hay; that she didn’t ever
have any hay to rake, and had never
met a judge, unless it was a judge of
good whiskey. Next thing these
smort fellows will try to have us be
lieve that Lady Godiva did not ride
through thel streets of Coverntry, ar
rayed in a wealth of golden hair and
a scared smile.
