SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9. 1915.
Sixteen or seventeen years ago the Copper River trail was regarded as
the next thing to an earthly inferno. Compared to it the White and Dyea pass
es were fine avenues and gentle approaches to the interior. Now a child of
six years comes alone from Fairbanks over that same Copper River route
alone. What changes the passing years bring!
We are told that we may receive the final statement of President Wilson
on the railroad this week. This is written on Thursday and before it is print
ed the great announcement may have been made. We have also been told
that the remaining two members of the engineering commission will leave
for Seattle in a few days. So we are probably near the final goal.
It is hard to say whether Alaska ought to be made a state for some
time. Of course, statehood at present is out of the question. The population
is not large enough in the first place, and even if the population suddenly grew
to state proportions it is doubtful whether we should be prepared to establish
law's for ourselves to the best advantage. Just now' Alaska is in the develop
ment period and its future is—well, still in the future. We hardly know what
wants and conditions that the future will bring forth. Until we know what
the results of the government development will produce we are working in
the dark when we figure upon our form of government. Two or three years
will in all probability effect changes of which we have now not the slightest
conception.
We shall never be able to understand to the full the horrors of the great
European war. Reading of the accounts of the battles or even of the
killed and wounded w> let the real significance of the stories pass us by un
heeded. We cannot see the disembowelled human beings. We cannot feel
without seeing the horrors of a writhing human body from which blood is;
gushing. To see the throat of a hog cut is enough to make one recoil. The j
blood of a human flows even more copiously. It is red and a writer in a
magazine stated recently that it “smells red.” And it still flows as it has
flowed for two thirds of a year. By this time it looks as if the life stream of
poor France, poor Germany and poor all the others should ha^e dried at its
source.
Some day before very long Alaska may get as cheap as any place else.
Thoughtless people who come from the outside even now object to paying
good prices for meals and everything else but they should remember that
if meals were fifteen cents wages would be low accordingly. Let us hope that
the democratic government of the I’nited States will set a good example.
This does not mean that excessive prices should be paid for anything. Just
enough to keep wages at a fair figure to compensate people for coming north, j

FAIRBANKS.—In the office of
United States Attorney R. F. Roth,
there was great joy yesterday when
a wire received from the attorney
general appointing Harry E. Pratt
assistant United States attorney.
Ever since taking office, Mr. Roth has
been trying to get another assistant,
i as the work has been more than the
district attorney and one assistant
could attend to.
Senator Tom McGann, of Nome is
somewhat of a goer. Put forth by the
working people of his tow*n he w’alked
away with the election on February
j 27. Then on the following Tuesday
j morning he hitched up his dog team
! and started on a run for Juneau. He
covered the interior distance from
coast to coast in 19 days, arriving at
Cordova on Sunday. This is a record
breaker. He is delayed there until,
the steamer starts southward on j
| Thursday morning and will arrive at
the territorial capital on Friday even
ing, March 27, and that's certainly go
ing some. But he hopes to even show
greater speed in legislative halls in
securing legislation beneficial to the!
laboring men of Alaska.—(Chitina
Leader.)
FAIRBANKS, March 3.—The
Times says that Samuel Fisk, who!
formerly w'as operator at Nenana and |
first class sergeant in the American j
signal corps, is now chief signal of- j
ficer for General Villa in Mexico.
