Entered at the Valdez jmstoftiee as second class matter.
Unless Juneau ami those inter
ested in.her future progress act at
onre. she will soon In* to Valdez,
Seward, Fairbanks and Nome what
Sitka is rtow^to Juneau, a quiet,
easy-going, unpiogressive place
where people may locate who de
sire to live in the.eddy of the great
hustliag current of new life that is
soon to pour into Alaska from the
#tni»s. If Juneau can at once se
cure recognition .Jrom the govern
ment and,have the\ necessary build
ings constructed here for federal
officials, then she will, like Hitka.
hold her political and commercial
prestige for many years after othei
points in Alaska may l>e really en
titled to it.—Transcript.
The foregoing from a Juneau
1»»i'«r shows what the feeling is in
that section. It is not.thut they
think they are entitled to be.the
capital, hut they believe it might
is | > ss I ’c te> deiude^lhe oftie lais
int<» a)l< wing the seat of govern
ment to lie moved, and then they
would hold it by right of possessie>n,
to the eletriment of,the rest of the
country.
Ths Sitka Cablegram is agitating
the starting of a wood puipaimll at
that place*, and presents an argu
ment, in favor of the project that
is consistent and hackeei l>v a great
array of figures. '1 lie iiuv will
surely conic when the pulp melus
try w ill Te a great feature in Alas
ka. We have the,..timber and the
Water power, and cheap transpor
tation from coast points.
Tlu* caucus Monday eve ning was
about the quietest publiltetil>g
ever belt! in Valdez. K is some
thing unusual to have a mass
meet i g.here without a display of
oratorical pyrotechnics, and a few
Verbal controversies. I: must m*
that the* uiild ^winter lias bad an
enervating effect on ,_the Valdez
politicians.
Kx-*enator T.inter is now prov
ing what a coo<l friend lie is to
Alaska by urging..the president to
assist in withholding government
assistance from railroads. It ought
to make .Turner popular with the
pxojiie ofjthe States to leave,a seat1
ia congress and accept a position
with a Canadian company, where
he uses what little influence he
las left for the ^purpose of, hinder
ing the developfneju of Alaska.
In recognition nf the faithful at
tention to dutv and excellent de- '
~ . I
Uieanor in ofhcc, the citizens of
Fairbanks presented Edgar Wick-1
•rsham ot,.ih<* police department
with a gold star, mounted,.with a
diamond oi almost two karats
weight.
Private advices from Fairbanks
are to the effect that the coming
election will see a hot tight for the
conlro; oi the lo al government.
For several months a party has
been iraming up to put the present
incumbents out of office and in
stall a ticket wnich will be more
acceptable to 41 he inhabitants oi'
tlie town. The party, in power,
which lias large interests l lie re,
Will naturally make a hard tight.
Judge Moore, ot the Nome dis
trict. in granting die petition of
the result nts of Council City for
incorporation,. a iso extended
the initiative and, the referendum
to the voters. If the initiative
anti the referendum provision*
shall carry it will provide C u >
ordinaire imposing a tax oiattv'
kind or requiring a license fee ean
become a law without its receivin'
» majority of tiie vote# of the peo
ple at an election wherein the pro
posed ordinance shall be submit
ted to them. It will also tie pro
vided that upon the petition of 2o
totem it shall fa- the duty of tla
council to submit anv proposed or
dinance to a vote of the people or
4ke'question of the repeal of an
-ordinance previously passed in any
wa> must • he .submitted to a vote
ti|>on the presentation oi a.like.pe
titiort.
At tiie publie reception given
Judge \\ iekerslium at Fairbanks
he stated that the changes to In*
made,in officials in his district this
year- would be m;nor ones, not
worthy of particular mention.
That should please ,H< dig and
Stiers.
