THE ENACTMENT OF THE ALASKA RAILROAD LAW
By the signing of the Alaska railroad bill by the President last
Thursday there was enacted into law a measure which will mean more
for the people of this country, and of this territory in particular, than
even its most ardent advocates have realized. In the first place, it will
give an opportunity to develop Alaska thoroughly and in an economical
manner. Much of'the fabulous wealth that has been taken from Alaska
m the past has been necessarily wasted because of me high co.^t of
production. The opening of railway transportation will necessarily
entail the opening up of the vast fuel deposits of the territory and the
consequent reduction in price of this necessity. Vi ith cheapci fuel
and quick means of transportation at all seasons of the year, the way
is open for enterprises of various natures which are impossible under
present conditions. It will make possible the exploitation of auriferous
deposits which at present lie untouched. It will enable the quartz
miner to develop properties which at present are passed by as impossi
ble to work. It will give an opportunity to open up the known agri
cultural possibilities of the numerous rich valleys of the interior, and
awaken an interest in stock-raising and kindred activities. In a word,
the completion of the Alaska railroad project will see such an awaken
ing in all lines of industry as possibly no other country on earth has
ever seen. Alaska in the next ten years should see an influx of popu
lation and capital sufficient to place her in a position to assume her
place among the sovereign states of the Union, and when tnai time
arrives no one of her sister states will be better endowed with the
requisites for the making of a happy, prosperous and enlightened com
monwealth.
It is no small privilege that is afforded the residents ot this terri
tory—that of assisting in the making of a great commonwealth. And
it is one that should be appreciated and used to the lasting benefit of
mankind. The splendid gifts of nature with which this territory is
blessed should be so developed that, instead of being looked upon in
future years as the despoilers of a new country, the hardy pioneers
of Alaska will be regarded as benefactors of mankind who, taking ad
vantage of the experiences and mistakes of older countries, have so
administered the resources as to reap a benefit themselves and pass
them on to future generations. Many of the present residents of this
section will live to see the day that they will regard with pride the part
they played in the opening up of Alaska.
In placing the credit for the passage of the railroad bill, too much
cannot be said in praise of the persistent, intelligent and untiring ef
forts of Alaska’s delegate in congress, James Wickersham. The people
of the territory, irrespective of party affiliations, will honor the man
who has made what seemed like an impossible dream a reality. But
the fact should not be lost sight of that others are entitled to the thanks
of our people. Without the enthusiastic and earnest support of the
national administration and its influence exerted m its behalf, no such
law could have been enacted. And the earnest efforts of the members
of congress from the Northwestern states, not the least among whom
was Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, were one of the largest factors in
the success of the bill. All honor to these, and to the chambers of
commerce and other commercial organizations of the coast cities for
thir splendid efforts m behalf of the project for the development of
Alaska.
ADDING TO THE CONFUSION
Since the recent court decisions rendering inoperative certam j
acts of the territorial legislature, numerous panaceas have been sug- j
gested by officials and newspapers for the curing of the ills that
assail the government of the territory. Some of these suggestions have j
wisdom and common sense to recommend them, but by far the greater
portion are of the most ridiculous nature. The talk of statehood and
a full territorial government is ridiculous under present conditions,
and the territorial officials will do well to pay little attention to them.
It must be remembered, when speaking of “self-government,” that
the territory of Alaska is in no way prepared for self-government.
The administration of the laws alone, were the burden put upon our
people, would be an impossibility. Do these wiseacres realize what
it means to administer law in a territory one-fifth the size of the United
States, with a population officially estimated at 36,000, scattered over
this immense area?
The present territorial form of government would appear to be
ample for the present needs of the territory, and if the bill of Delegate
Wickersham, giving federal officials in Alaska power to enforce terri- ;
tonal laws, be enacted, there will be no need of a special session of the
legislature. The following article, published over the signature of j
Territorial Senator B. F. Millard of Valdez, impractical and illogical
as it is, presents ihe best argument yet seen why a special session of
the legislature should not be called:
Since the officials of the administration have seen fit on techni
calities to rule that the Alaska legislature exceeded its power in im- ;
posing certain duties on federal officers in the Territory of Alaska, and ,
that the committee on territories of the house of congress have, up to !

this time, refused to recommend the bill legalizing the actions ol the
territorial legislature, and refusing to recommend an amendment to
the enabling act giving the legislature more power, I see hut one
course left open for Alaska. If 1 were the governor I would, and I
have so recommended, call a special session of the Alaska legislature.
I would cause to be prepared an enabling act calling for full territorial
government along the lines of the Oklahoma enabling act, and I
would nail the Alaskan (lag to the masthead and as governor 1 would
recommend to the people of the territory never to lower that flag until
full territorial government had been granted; that the American citi
zens of Alaska be placed upon an equal footing with all other terri
j tories of the American Union.
“Tooay the Porto Ricans and the rilipmos have iar more tern
tonal rights than do the Alaskans. Why is this? In my judgment it
is because they have in the past, and could in Me future, cause a great
deal of trouble and expense to the United States government. Hence
they must be appeased and given a liberal government, with a promise i
| of full independence by the present administration in the future. I
| would ask the citizens of Alaska whence comes the independence oi
Alaskans? Most of us were born under the American flag, and those
who were not have declared their allegiance to the same, and they
are opposed to being a part of that great nation of freedom. \Vhat
are we? Do we not have to humbly ask of the powers that be, like a
child from its parents, everytmng that we receive that is ot any beneui
to us? In the present railroad fight m congress a large number of the
Southern Democrats are opposed to any assistance to Alaska. They
! are against the appropriation of money to railroads and yet, since the
; close of the civil war millions have been spent m the South in lm
: provements of waterways, some worthy, but a large portion on creeks
j and sloughs that only serve as political donations, that have no ten
dency to develop any material resources. While on the other hand,
j the appropriation being asked for from congress for transportation pur
poses in the Territory of Alaska will develop untold wealth, and no
man knows this better than the pioneer who has spent a quarter of his
life roaming over the mountains of this vast teiAitory. Whatever we
may think of it as a farming country need not enter the question at
all. I base my claims solely upon the mineral resources.
“To one who has looked up the div;dend*payers the last year finds
that the mines of the 'United States have paid over $300,030,009 in
d:\ idends, and it is stated by the financial reports that only for the
mines there certainly would have been a panic. Therefore, no man who
loves his country and is m a position to act should hesitate a moment
in voting to appropriate money for the purpose of developing the
great mineral country. It is not only due the pioneer, but it is also due
the entire nation. More and more, the minerals of the world are being
used, dne use of them is one of the great civilizers of the world, and
I to stop the use of them wouid throw the civilization back to pnm.l.ve
. times.
‘In conclusion, let me recommend that every citizen of Alaska
j stand out boldly for full territorial government, with the motto em
blazoned upon the northern lights, ‘Never surrender until that condi
tion is brought about.’ Let congress and the administration know that
we demand, as American citizens, as men and women who have gone
into the last new country on American soil and have partially opened
i up one of the richest countries on earth.”
Last week the make-up of the first page of The Pioneer was
marred by the transposition of two headings over different articles.
| As an indication of how closely the columns of this paper are read,
the editor was assailed on all sides, with comments on the error. Not
only this, but he received telephone calis from the outlying districts
calling his attention to it. We appreciate the interest the people of
the district take m their paper, and will endeavor to avoid such errors J
in future. That errors are not unknown to newspapers is borne out
by a perusal of the pages of our exchanges, but that it is unusual for j
The Pioneer to thus transgress is evident by the attention it attracted. !
We publish elsewhere an editorial from the Fairbanks News-Miner i
giving an account of its troubles in the same direction.
=-- ~
Conflicting reports continue to come in from the Chisana and J
Nelchma strikes, and they are printed for what they are worth. From
all published accounts, there is no more reason for a stampede to those j
far-off fields than to any of the numerous creeks tributary to this city,
and possibly not as much.
SERIOUS HUMOR
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
It is a fact which is frequently com
mented upon that there is no other town
he size of Fairbanks in all the work!
where they print as many or as good news
papers as are published here. * * * i
We have one daily exchange published in !
a city of 18,000 on the Outside, and which
employs twenty-nine men, which cannot |
compare as an up-to-date publication with '
either the News-Miner or the Times. To \
produce the newspapers turned out in Fair- ,
banks, each paper the result of the work
of but four or five men, is not play—it is !
a serious proposition. It is so serious and
each worker has so much territory to cover
and so much work to turn out in such
a short time that, there is seldom a day
but that one or the other of the Fair
banks papers becomes excruciatingly funny
in its seriousness.
For instance, last evenings News-Miner
gravely declared that the coming produc
tion of “Seven-Twenty-Eight” would be
given on “Wednesday evening, Friday
18th,” and it got by the writer of the
article, the typesetter, the proofreader and
the pressman. This morning the Times
gravely announced that “Roy Hall is mak
ing a slow but speedy recovery,” and that
statement got by every man in the Times
office and reached the public in its virgin
purity. Yesterday morning the editor of
the News-Miner told the reporter that the
editor would “take” the Klopsch case in
the federal court, so the reporter would
not have to bother with it. The editor
left all his morning work undone and at
tended the Klopsch trial, and after the
proceedings were ended we forgot all about
the case and there wasn’t a reference to
it in last night’s paper. AH these funny
“breaks” which may be noted in the local
prints from time to time are committed
in sober seriousness, the result of too much
work for any one man, and their serious
ness is responsible for the most of fheir
funniness.
However, it is all in the day’s work, and
the newspapers get as much enjoyment out
of their errors (after the paper is printed
and the mistakes noticed) as the general
public possibly does It is a mighty seri
ous proposition--this running of daily
newspapers with short forces and shorter
funds, but it relieves the tension by failing
to be entirely serious once in a while, or
oftener.
BOUQUET FOR THE MAJOR
The other day a Mail reporter overheard
a young lady with a radical hobble skirt
say that while he may not be publishing
the best paper in Juneau, she thought Ed
Russell the handsomest editor in Alaska.

Is that Captain Wile, the Major spoke
of so highly?
Well, now, Capluin Wile, you're look
lUK d ii well.

The people of this city and vicinity are
on the itptoe of expectancy over the ex
pected arrival of Captain Albert W il \ who
was appointed and confirmed as postmaster
of Iditarod, and who is supposed to be
sonicwhor between here and Seward.
In the Juneau Empire of October 30 last
| we notice:
Albert Wile Gc‘e Iditarod Postoffice
Washing-ion. Oct. :tu. 1‘resid* nt
\v (|?•«.w Wii'i.ii today :i'4iiiii:tlrtl \l
bert Wile to be postmaster at Iditarod,
Alaska.
Albert wile is a pioneer of Iditarod.
wb« ■ ■ b<» was in bu iness st \eral
years. Before g-uing- to Iditarod he
was a resident of i'airb.uik-', win :«•
In has a Brother in the mi'-esr.nle
business. He is a ;■ urn rat in poiiti
and has been active in parf\ work.
Mr. Wile in now visiting- in Juneau.
Mr. Wile’s activity in party work con
sisted wholly of attending two not overly
enthusiastic meetings held here and in Hat
City in the summer of 1912 by J. F. A.
Strong in the interest of Robert Jennings,
as the Democratic candidate i >r delegate
1 i , congress. Wile’s work on those very
at'.spicii us and funeral like occasions con
i.. ted of violent hand-clapping whenever
the speaker reached a short breathing spell
at the end of it pointless statement, and by
’’mixing” with the audiences before and
iiftir the sp,caking to inform his hearers
that she speaker was ”a f i-n-e man, a genu
die - p-o-r-t. that fellow, believe me.” Jen
nings' vote in this district cut a very sor
;• wful figure, and the Captain- was thi
nly known convert to Democracy as the
j result of the Major's campaign. In fact,
J during the entire period of Strong's resi
,! tin- in this “niggerhearied empire that
arose out of the moss” a very ntrl gnant
form - f Danotn and-Pythias-like alft ctin.-i
I -ot-iiri! to exist between the Major and the
( apt am.
In the face of such demonstrations of at
« tachnient. is it any wonder that the Cap
| tain impatiently awaited the opening of
1 r svigaCun last spring that, he might take
1 ; ass age for the capital city, where the
i Major had but. reccn.lv been inducted into
i the governorship, to again bask in the pres
ence of tiie peroxhied pate, and thi-, too,
after receiving a telegram from the adored
• iif' cent I? !:!!■„ him not to come to Juneau
| expecting an appointment?
So far as the mutual admiration pact
was concerned, it seemed to be a ca-t of
i "out of sight, out of mind" with the Mi.'or.
i But nut so with tin* Captain. Before the
Major could realize the fact, the Captain
i was at the thrcshol i of the executive rnan
ii, and, figuratively speaking, was camp
ing on the Major’s trail -and there to stay
I indefinitely.
Last summer John St relic (another de
v 'ted admirer of the Major's! stated to
The Pioneer, just previous to his departure
fcr the Chisana. that the Captain on his
i.'.’iv ■ ! a* ’lie Ma; u - house in Juneau would
find a great. lug chunk of ice at the front
door in the place «f a velvety mat c<>n
taining the cheering word "Welcome.”
Whether ■■ v rot John's prediction proved
to be true, The Pi neer is unable at this
writing to state.
* * *
Centle spring gradually waned, and in
the meantime intelligence had reached this
city that there would shortly be a change
made in the postmaster-hip of Iditarod. As
a consequence, aspiring candidates for the
position began to get busy to secure the
little plum. One energetic Democrat start
ed a petition, and in a short time had se
cured over 700 signatures thereto. Another
gentleman was indorsed for the position by
well-known party men of the community
because he was known to he in every way
qualified to hold down the job.
* * *
The Major-Governor was touring the ter
ritory when the Captain arrived in Juneau.
* * *
The Captain waited.
* V *
\\ eeks followed weeks, and nothing was
happening in postofiice circles. Then, all
of a sudden, something did happen. It
was caused by the announcement that the
Captain, the Democratic party “worker”—
the young man who had left this city hut
a fewr short months previously, carrying no
letters of indorsement from the people of
the district, and relying absolutely upon his
friendship for and adoration of the Major
had landed the coveted prize. Almost im
mediately vigorous telegraphic protests were
hurled at the Major by many residents of
this community, but that “soft-soap” expert
disclaimed any participation in the matter.
After several weeks the Major began to
receive some rather warm letters from old
Iditarod friends in regard to the appoint
ment, and the Major’s replies have been
received lately. The recipients of the let
ters have been comparing them, and as a
consequence the Major has been elevated
in their estimation only as a “hedger” and
clumsy “side-stepper.” It seems to be the
united opinion of all that if the Major is
provided with ample writing material his
fate will be similar to that of the young
bovine that was allowed unlimited tether.
* * *
It was early in the first year of tire
existence of Skagway town that the resi
dents of the place sternly realized that either
Soapy Smith or the town “must quit”
there wasn’t room for both in the same
valley. Soapy Smith quit one day, and quit
very suddenly.
(The preceding paragraph is printed ■
merely as a reminiscence.)
* * *
It was all right for the Major and the ]
Captain to hobnob in mutual admiration in
the capital city of the “niggerheaded empire
that arose out of the moss,” but when it
came to repealing the same on the streets
of imperial Juneau, ye gods! that ufas en
tirely different. It was another case of
someone quitting. The affair was one that
could easily be arranged. The Cap* bn
wanted an oflice, and wanted it badly The
Major was doubtless more than willing to
wish the Captain bon voyage at ai v old
bmc and the sooner the more agreeable
Hence the appointment. The Pior«or th >r
oughlv appreciates the Major s feelings in
the matter. He evidently was mindful i.f
the first law of nature.
* * *
The Pioneer is firmly of the omn'. m that
lie appointment of the admirable Gaptain
has no wise strengthened the Democratic
party organization in this district, but it,
cannot refrain fr< m commending the ener- j
•zelic tenacity with which he dogged the 1
footsteps of his idol, and by hi^ pr sence J
in Juneau compelled the Maj r to redeem \
his extravagant and ill-advised. pre-cPciion
promises.
Now that the Major has been made Gov
ernor, and as we have at the present lime j
no simon-pure Major, The Pioneer propose^ ;
the well deserved promotion of Captain
Wile, and we are willing to leave the propo
sition t;) a vote. Ail in favor (if the motion
will signify by hoi- mg up their hands.
j All contrary-minded, hands down.
