THE ALASKA PROSPECTOR
published at Valdex. Alaska, every Thursday by the Prospwtor
Publishixo Co. Piioxk. Main 1.
Entered at the Valdex postofficeas second class matter.
A jwtition lias licen wired to
President Roosevelt.signed by some |
•of tin- citizens of Valdez, demand- j
ing tlmt Alaska fie allowed to se
■cede from the United States and
*
annex to Canada. This act is mere!
child’s play. Ill the first place, we!
do not concede the right of a few
■disgruntled people to sjieak with
authority for the whole of Alaska.
And again, there is no reason to
•expect I letter treatment under Can
ada’s dominion than we are obtain
ing under the Stars and Stripe'.
And judging by the Dawson pajiers
of recent date, the residciiters of
•the Yukon territory have troubles !
of their own. We are willing to ■
admit that congress has Keen grossly
derelict in its duty toward this
great commonwealth of the North
land; and this indifference on the
part of our national legislators is'
•exceedingly exasperating. But this
cieglect and injustice does not
justify us in liecomitig traitors to
'die country of which we are a com
ponent part. The men who are
temporarily in power utd hold the
wins of government may lie remiss
in their duty tutd conduct toward
4luska, hut the high privileges en
joyed by American citizenship; the
rights vouchsafed us hv the wise
'oonstitution, hat lied in the blood
if our forefathers these rights-and
privileges are not to is; cast aside
at the whim or caprice of a few
•over-zealous, intemperate people.—
Nome Sagpet.
U the president hud incorporated J
'a pure food law for Alaska in Ids
message to Congress, he would have
conferred a favor on the residents
of the Northland. The date of
packing of all preserved foods
should he indelibly stamped on
each cun. The people of Alaska
ire certainly entitled to protection
ftoni food and there is no such
thing as a right to poison them or
to cheat them bv misrepresenting
£oods as fresh, as a matter of fact,
they are as stale as the news of the
'.leath of Queen Anne.—Nome
•NeWSi
l'he uttenlrpn of citizens is qajlud
m the notice of the health officer
-In another column regarding the
cleaning up of their yards. It is to
thyir advantage to prevent eon
•tagion l>v doing away with the
fjltli i pd garbage and it should not
$Je necessary to force them to do so,
■as can lie done under the town ordi
nances if regulations are not com
plied with. In a short time we will
he having visitors from the outside
and a clean town will do as much
toward creating a favorable im
pression on them as anything else.
t*]ieuking of the copper deposits
•of Prince William sound, the Ju
8eau Dispatch says:
“Why this section of country,;
^ itli its aceesibility and other favor-'
able conditions, has remained to I
date in an undeveloped slate, is a
mystery to one who knows what
Wifis plants are being erected in
•atker copper producing sections on
Ws* meritorious propositions.
“There is ore enough in sight to
d*w within a radius of 73 miles of
Taldez to justify an immense re
duction pla.pt, and with oil and
•eoai at Catellu, an abundance of.
timber for all piaelical purposes,
•the llest of landing facilities, there
i>» no reason to doubt that the fu
ture West Central Alaska will be
great copper bullion producer in
•the uear future.”
The committee of the Council on
Jfire Protection has been instructed
W secuie figures on the probable
cast of installing a lietter sy stem of
Jin* protection, and to r« port on
some method of raising the neces
sary money so that the work can
he done ibis summer. Lt is almost
the unanimous belief of the citizens
that u pumping system should he
jut in, and if the figuies presented
■ftyi Councilman Quinn tins ,-pring
f?r ymywhere near rigiit it will be
no trouble to raise the necessary
funds. The Inst council ruined
alsnit $1,000 almve their running
expenses with which they cleaml
off the standing indebtedness of the
town and school. The council has
no old indebtedness to meet and by
practicing economy in other ex
jM-mliiures should easily provide
enough to put in the fire system.
Towns in Alaska cannot borrow
money, but it is probable that the
merchants, when the. matter is
rightly presented, would be willing
to advance enough tj start the
work and ca.rv it along until the
taxes come due in the fall. It is
something that is of vital interest
lo the town; the council is deter
mined to carry it through, and the
citizens should assist in every jm>s
sible way.
