are the most extravagant in the world. If you are one
of the many Americans who have never experienced
the feeling of safety and satisfaction engendered by
the possession of a savings account however modest,
JUST TRY IT. You can start it with a dollar, and the

SEWARD ALASKA
All Take A Crack
At John Ballaine
You know, a fellow feels a kind of
sympathy for an Alaskan when he
gets too much roasted in Seattle pap
ers. This paper has never been over
kind, perhaps, to John Ballaine but
he is surely getting his’n down below
just now. But, then, John never be
i
came an Alaskan and when he insists
j on being a Seattlite with no vote up
here, why, after all, the sympathy?
But in producing the following eililo?
ial from the Railway and Marine
News of Seattle, the (lateway is just
doing so to show what the boAo of
contention is:
“The public cares little about John
K. Ballaine’s vicious attacks upon the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the
Post-Intelligencer, the New York firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co., or the Aiuska
Syndicate. They can ably defend
themselves. As a campaign speech,
bv which the former Spokane man
hopes to get into Congress, it may be
helpful among the Socialistic and
ignorant classes. But in his wild j
statements Ballaine quotes Secretary
Lane most illadvisedly. Ballaine i
claims that Secretary Lane stated that j
the concerted opposition to the LJ. S.
railroad in Alaska hail been so power-1
fill and successful that to date
(August) no firm, person or corpora
tion had so far been induced to lease j
any coal lands in the Matanuska field,
ami the government must mine the i
coal. We <lo not think Secretary Lane
made any such statement. It’ he did
it was a blunder and it is a worse
blunder for the talkative Ballainc to
repeat it. 11 v that one statement he
•
“spills the beans” and it will always
be remembered that he was the first
one to really prove an obstacle to the
success of the whole project. The
talk of opposition is all moonshine.
Everyone is eager to see something
done in and for Alaska. We have fre
quently stated that Balluine is the
worst enemy of Seward and of the
railroad project, and now by his oo
session and hatred he is led into a
public statement that is most un
fortunate. If in August, 1D16, no
private individual or firm has taken
any coal lease, where does the railioad
project get otT? How can the admin
istration make good its promise to. de
liver the coal at .tidewater this fall?
Is the government going into the coal
business? If so, what privafe com
pany or individual would become a
customer, or would then compete as a
lessee of coal lands? Give a certain
demagogue rope enough and he’ll
hang himself. It looks like Balluine
must immediately “deny” the state
ment if he ever expects to make head
way in Alaska. Such an admission
HUNDREDS ARRESTED
IN NEW YORK RIOTS
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—H. J. Re
gan, a member of the state board of
arbitration, announced today that the
hoard will enforce arbitration hear
ings in connection with the strike and
that hearings will begin next Monday.
He declared it is time to change the
slogan to “the public must be pro
tected” but he believes that by mut
ual concessions a settlement will yet
be effected.
WILL I'SK MILITARY
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—In a public
communication today Mayor Mitchell
and Strauss warn the strikers that
the military will be used if they per
sist in rioting or any breaches of the
law. They declare the leaders re
sponsible. The communication also
condemns some of the actions of the
companies and assert Chat the into,
brough company broke its verbal
agreement to arbitrate with the men
and broke their contracts.
The situation is now deadlocked and
the mayor says no solution of the dif
ficulties has been effected. Gompers
tied a res he is with the men to the last
ditch and emphasizes their right to
organize. Shoots says he will re
employ any men but will reject union
ism. In the meantime the business
organizations have passed resolutions
demanding that disturbances be end
ed. Hundreds of arrests have been
made.
means that the chief purpose of the j
railroad is a failure at this early date
and no person wants to think that.
Ballaine’s friends should call him off
this “boomerang” argument.”
ALASKA STKA.MS1III* KN TICKS
ATLANTIC SKRVICK VIA CANAL
From Uncle Sam’s last frontier, Al
aska, to the birthplace of the Nation
—Philadelphia, is probably the long
est steamship route. That is the
rout*1 of the steamship Alaska of the
Alaska Steamship Co. in its new ser
vice to be inaugurated this fall, lf
successful, and ther seems to be no
reason to doubt that it will, the big
Seattle concern, which for years has
been exclusively an industrial unbuild
er of Alaska, will maintain regular
winter excursion service between
Seattle and Philadelphia via the Pan
ama Canal and the Tropics.
As is well known, while the coastal
service of Alaska from Ketchikan U>
Seward and Kodiak inclusive, is main
tained throughout the entire year,
Bering Sea is closed during the wint
er and all local service is somewTiat
reduced thereby releasing several ves
sels of the fleet, which have in the
past tied up for the winter. Under
the new arrangement the Alaska
Steamship Co. can utilize such boats
by ballasting them with a cargo of
canned, boxed salmon and from the
time of leaving Seattle to the arrival
in Philadelphia, the vessel to all in
tents and purposes is exclusively a
passenger ship, as no local cargo will
be handled en route.—Kx.

NEWS NOTES
Travelers from the hills confirm the
report that ptarmigan are very con
spicuous by their absence this year.
The election for the Territorial leg
islature will take place on November,
or less than seven weeks from this
date, but still the campaign has not
got into its stride. Seward is repre
sented by one man for each party,
the Republican, Democratic and the—
the—Progressive. If one of these
parties is called the*G. O. P. and the
other might be called the R. f. P.,
what is the third? Twenty-five cents
for the first right guess.
*The city council on Wednesday
evening turned down the petition to
put back the hands of the clock—to
stay the march of time. The benight
ed members of that body must never
heard the beautiful song about “The
best of all ways to lengthen our days
is to steal a few hours from the night,
my dear.”
