Tin* Skagwny Alaskan says edi
toriallv in a recent issue, that
“there is not a town in Southeastern
Alaska in which a majority of the
thinking men do not favor territor
ial form of government.” It also says
that all the speeches and requests
for aid of (low Hr '.dy should lie re
ferred to Donald Fletcher, who, it
avers, has done splendid work for
Alaska.
Now, who the devil is Donald
Fletcher, and who gave Donald
Fletcher and the Skagway Alaskan
the right to outline the (mlicy of
Alaska’s future and speak for her
people? Whv should the (tower*
that he take the word of the Donald
Fletchers and a few more one horse
individuals who have spent a few
weeks at the most, on the Itorders
of this country, as against the wise
councils of a man like (iov. Brady,
who has been going up and down
the country making a careful in
vestigation of its resources and its
needs for many years; who has
devoted the best years of his life
to a study of its conditions, and who
Molds the place of honor and trust
lie does because of his acknowledged
good judgment and ability.
What has it cost Alaska, this
method of taking up the cheechaco
Moses that have from time to time
dragged themselves up out of the
bull rushes and after consulting a
few of the would he oracles of the
country and taking a two weeks
tour among the islands of the Alex
ander archipelago, have returned
to the states cocked and primed for
business.
No. gentlemen, you are wrong.
What we want in Alaska and for
Alaska cannot !>e carried in the
side pocket of any carpet-hag repre
sentative. Alaskans must speak
for Alaska, and they alone, and
the thinking people of the country
are today asking for a representa
tive for that reason. And these
same thinking people of the coun
try are not to-day advocating a ter
ritorial form of government, the
Alaskan to the contrary notwitl -
standing.
And why should it la* that when
a man comes to Alaska the govern
ment of the United States seems to
think that for "truth and veracity
his reputation is had?” If Judge
Delaney were hack in Wisconsin
he could go down to congress and
get a respectful hearing as to the
needs of Alaska. Or if Judge Wil
liams were hack in old .Missouri he
could go to Washington and la*
treated with all the resjaat that
Missourians usually are, hut inas
much as he has been in Alaska for
years and knows 1U00 times more
about what she needs than the new
Moses, he will not even la* perrnit
ted to go on the witness stand.
'1 here are scores of other men in
Alaska who are equally as familiar
with Alaska’s wains as are the
gentlemen mentioned, hut not one
of these has as much influence
with the administration as some
third class politician in a doubtful
state. Don’t it lieat——■. Well
‘‘there’ll come a time some day,”

Not long since congress passed
Alt elaborate law for the protection
of game in Alaska, which was laud
ed to the skies by the sportsmen of
lmtli Alaska and the States. Since
the passage of the hill German Bar
ons, English Lords, Canadian and
other sportsmen of means have
flocked to Alaska to hunt for hig
game as usual, and have proceeded
as though the game law was not in
existence, and so far we have not
heard of a single arrest for viola
tion of the act. Why? Is it lie
cause the parties so violating
the law are men of wealth and j
prominence, and would another
man making his livlihood from the'
proceeds of his gun receive the
same treatment? Wc think not.
Fmflier, it seems only necessary
to In- a member of the nobility of
some foreign country, or of finan
cial standing in the States or Can
ada, to obtain a permit to shoot
any and all game ai any and all
times.
Such Wing tlu> case we fail to
see where such protection is of any
Wnefit to the game, and would
seem to indicate that the hill was
intended to create a game preserve
for a chosen few.

We are requested by the (iener
al Land office to publish the fol
lowing proclamation.
“Whereas, it is provided bv sec
tion 24 of the Act of Congress, ap
proved Mar. 3, 1 Kill, entitled 'An
Act to repeal timber-culture laws,
and for other pur|K>ses’, that 'the
President of the United States may
set apart and reserve, in any state
or territory having public land
bearing forests, whether of commer
cial, value or not,as public reserva
tions, and the President shall, by
public proclamation, declare the
establishment of such reservations
and tip* limits thereof’;
And whereas the following de
scribed public lands in the Territory
of Alaska are in part covered with
timWr, and it appears that the
nuhlic good would be promoted by
setting apart and reserving su'd
lands as a public reservation;
Now, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, do herehv make known and
proclaim that there are hereby re
served from settlement, entry or
sale, and set apart as a public res
ervation, Chicagof Island and the
adjacent islands to the seaward
thereof, Kupreanof Island, Kuiu
Island. Zaremho Island, and Prince
of Wales Island and the adjacent
islands to the seaward thereof, in
Alaska; Provided, that this proc
lamation shall not Ik1 so construed
as to deprive any person of any
valid right possessed under the
treaty for the cession of the Rus
sian possessions in North America to
the United States, or acquired un
der any act of Congress relating to
the Territory of Alaska.
Warning is hereby expressly giv-i
en to all persons not to unlawfully
enter upon or occupy any of the,
hinds reserved hv this proclama-!
mation. I
The reservation hereby estab
lished shall lie known as The Alex-!
ander Archipelago Forest Reserve.;
