HOPE FOR ALASkA.
Alaska is a long way off, and
folks hack homy* haven’t been as
sympathetic witli its people as
they might have been.
for several years matters there
have heerupretly much at a stand
still because the people back
home have been lighting against
those in power who would have
opened the gales into this peo
pled pasture and let in the wolves
of Special Privilege.
The game of Spoils has been
iieaten, but it was a long, tough
light; and in the meantime noth
ing has been done in Alaska.
The outlook, we are glad to see,
is better now—much better.
A bill for I he construction of
a government, railroad for Alas
ka has been approved by the
Senate' committee and by I he
president, and it is lo be press
■ed to passage. IL will give I be
president as free a hand as he
had in Panama.
Secretary Lane, who is a strong
conservationist, has decided to
encourage the development of
water power and other national
resources by miaking compensa
tion to the government corres
pond with the amount of benelit
to the consumers and the public.
The lower the rates of a utility,
the lower the rale of compensa
tion. The purpose is not so much
treasury as io secure to the peo
ple the benefits rightly due them
from the resources which they
own. And the first application
-of this wise and enlightened pol
icy is to he in Alaska.
Light breaks through the
gloom I hal has overcast Alaska
since the liuggenh.eim lingers
firs I were rapped. We are glad
for Alaska's sake and I lie coun
try's.
Also, we are interested lo
watch how the government does
in the railroad business. The
practice il gets here may he use
ful to il later.— Douglas Ariz.
Dispatch.
THE ALASKA RAILROAD BILL.
Tin. hill fur I In* conslruct ion
of a government railroad in Al
aska is making progress and
there are strong hopes 'of ils
passage ill the present session of
Congress. As reporled ..nil oi I he
commille'e on I.Trilories in the
Senate il leaves entire control in
the hands of the president and
rejects Hie commission of live
plan. This is good ami will make
for direct ness ami ellieieney.
The president will probably se
lect one experienced and ellicient
man, lei ns hope another Coe
•tliais. lo put Hie thing through.
The House committee having
the mailer in charge began bear
ings on .July !)lh and is aiixous
Jo expedite the matter all they
can. Secretary of the Interior
Lane is anxious lo get it through
if possible and is lending bis in
fluence to that end.
All friends of the bill are work
ing hard to get it passed by both
jlouses Ibis, session.' They feel
s’ure of substantial majorities in
. the House ami Senate when in
comes to a Pinal vote.—Pacific
Mining Journal.
ALASKANS ATTACHED
TO THEIR NORTHLAND
v • '_• •• ■
Count less people engaged in
mining or other business pur
suits iu Alaska go “in” when
navigation opens and come “out”
before the first freeze. The terms
are common oil the roast, as well
as in the interior.
Nine out of ten of them will
tell you that, in spite of depriva
tions, they would not live any
where else in the world. The
lure of the north bolds them.
They love Alaska. The future of
the territory is bright with prom
ise to them. Only to the weak
does the maxim, “Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick,” apply—
not to these stout-hearted op
tintistic Alaskans. Ties are
closely formed up there. Every
man in a community knows ev- !
cry other man in that comm'un
ity; acquaintanceship and friend
ship etxend throughout the ter
ritory. An Arctic Brotherhood
hall-is to be foflnd in every City ’
and town. There, loo, you will
discover a cozy little club whose
latch-string is always out to the,
visiting stranger of the right
sort. Not only do the men, but
the women likewise,, maintain
clubs and club houses in Alaska
cities and towns. Always hun
giy for the latest outside news,
the visitor quickly learns that
these Alaskans are as well in
formed on general topics as are
the people living in I he very
heart of civilization. If the
pleasures of life are more limit
ed and circumscribed, they are
entered upon with greater zest
and enjoyed in more whole-soul
ed fashion.
A few of them have no aspir
ations ever to come “out.” Most
of them look forward to visits
to the stales, but with the avowed
intelntion of returning—of being
“in” again and staying “in.”
Their lot is cast with Alaska for
good and all.— (Scott C. Bone in
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
