In appointing a representative
from Alaska to the Louisiana pur
chase Exposition, the governor
could hate selected no better man
than L. L. Williams.
Mr. Williams has l»cen roughing
it in Alaska for a number of years
and knows the country and people
nnder all conditions. He is a man
highly rcsjtected hv all who know
him and is amply qualified to fill
the bill. He will need the support
and co-operation of the people of
Alaska in getting up an exhibit
worthy of the country, so let
us Itegin at once to collect to
gether some of the samples of
cur many natural resources, and
have them ready to bund over
when the time comes.
• •
By virtue of an ordinance passed
hy the city fat 1 vers, next Monday is
set aside as a day of election, on
which occasion a |>olice justice will
be chosen Ivy the residents within
the corporate limits of tlve town.
The position requires a man who
will, without fear or favors, enforce
the laws in a fair, broad minded
manner. The jveopleof Valdez are,
as a general rule, a peaceable, law
abiding class, who have always got
ten along very well, even when
they had no law to restrain them
in their actions. But ns a matter
of course as we grow we must have
a set of rules or laws to govern our
selves hy, and someone to see that
they are carried out. We have no
need of any puritanical enforce
ment of laws except **■ applied to
sanitary conditions. Such laws
passed to enforce cleanliness should
be strictly observed without the ne
cessity of calling our pn+iew judge
into action. There are up to date
not many aspirants for the position.
If we are to have a judge let us
elect a man deserving the respect
of tlie community, and whose judg
ment can be relied upon.
Object to White PaMs
Gen. Davis, judge advocate gen
eral of the army, has raised a strong
point in regard to the question of
awarding a contract to the White
Pass A Yukon railroad for the
transportation of military supplies
to the army posts on the Upper
Yukon. He lias returned all the
papers in the ease to the acting sec
retary of war, hut without passing
on the question of transportation
in Canadian bottoms or any of the
other objections raised by the
Northern Commercial Company
and the North American Trans
portation & Trading Company,who
are opposing the proposed award
of tile contract to the White Puss
road. Gen. Davis refrained from
passing on these questions for the
reason that he believes the whole
question of the legality and the ad
visability of awarding the contract
rests an another issue. This is that
it would be impossible to transport
soldiers to Alaska by way of the
White Pass route for the reason
that Canada would have just cause
of objection under international
law and treaty rights. The bids
for transportation are for troope as
well as supplies, and if the White
Pass hid were rejected on account
of the international objection to the
shipment of troops through foreign
territory tile contract for troops
trould have to be awarded to the
American companies. This would
Sleo involve the transportation of
Supplies, for the war department is
Hot likely to award the transporta
' tion of troops to one company and
that of carrying supplies to another,
as the bids were made at the same
time and under the same justifiea
! tions. The judge advocate general
is firmly of the opinion that no
I contract should be awarded to the
White Puss road.
