SPENDS NO COIN IN ALASKA
Mnj. Hallaine calls attention through
in interview iti the Seattle Times to,
i tie fact that Seat'le has invested no j
money in Alaska. While Seattle has,
cneiitetl more than all other cities |
combined from Alaska’s fahulmts pro-!
duct ion of millet al wealth she lias done
..tiling to r.veiop those resources,

The rich men of Seattle, with few e.\

u-ept from the big mitt standpoint.
! They arc always ready to grab any
thing that gets out of the territory.
The Nobel peace prize is part of thej

Some of the Washington correspon
dent' are guilty of incredible mis
statements of fact. They have started
on the rounds the assertion that in the
Sixtieth congress the senatorial repre
sentation of the north will be solidly |
republican and of the south solidly
democratic except one senator from J
Missouri. How do they classify Color
ado and Nevada, each of which has a j
senator elected as a democrat in l'J03, ,
to-w It, Teller and Newlands? And how j
do they classify Delaware and West j
Virginia, whose senators now are all j
republicans and will be in the next
congress?
Harry Kll.sworth has a Seattle assay j

who is getting the rake-olT since
George Adams went to the pen?
Delegate Waskey thinks self-govern

right now. Mr. Waskey represents a !

Gov. Hoggatt represents President
Roosevelt and Captain Jarvis.
If the Treadwell mine is compelled
to shut down through the failure of
coal supply the fact ought to be notice
to the president of the United States
that development of coal Helds on the
North Pacific coast should to be en

an experiment.
A lot of politicians and newspaper
writers in the Pacific states are work

imminence of a Japanese attack on the

afraid. We have an old cannon the
