the heading of “News from all parts of the Northland” is generally taken
from other newspapers throughout the territory. All Alaska papers near >
now publish sueh a column and each paper depends on its exchanges for t c
news in that department. As the people of Alaska have wandered from one
place to another for years the department ought to be interesting. Some
times an item appears that may not he of interest to some but is of interest
to others who might have lived in the camp where the occurrence took place
The thing to be remembered, however, is that the news is not publishes as
“original” in that column mid often readers see therein some item which they
had seen before. The department is simply a review of happenings all over
Alaska.
WPOLEON BONAPARTE said that “one bad general is better than two
good ones” and Napoleon had the trick of saying in a few words imperishable
truths. In this he showed his genius as he showed it on the field of battle.
Today the British are living up to the same doctrine and are fighting under
the leadership of a Frenchman named JofTre—a man who at the moment this
is written stands in the position of one who may be elevated to the highest
pinnacle of military glory or who may have been overwhelmed with the dis
aster that would make oblivion welcome. We never heard of JofTre before
but if he wins now in that battle of battles to the east of Paris the coming
generations will see his very Frenchy name decorating many pages of the
history of the world. What a position he now holds in the eyes of the world.
Hardly even on the greatest throne is there betaing such a “fierce light” as
that which now surrounds that little old man in whose hands is the fate of
the fatherland. The history of France leads one to the reluctant belief that
within a few days the people of the republic will be ready and willing either
to shoot JofTre or to make him emperor.
Said Napoleon again w hen some one drew his attention to the huge crowds
that were cheering him as they followed him in the streets ot laris aftei
victory:
“Bah, they would follow me just as eagerly if 1 were on the way to the
guillotino”.
THERE IS evidently experienced by the press associations very great
difficulty' in securing the news of the war and to this is due, no doubt, the
contradictory reports that come from time to time, even from the Associated
Press, the greatest press association on the American continent. The fact is
that all press associations must depend on the official statements of the dif
ferent countries at war anti governments are hardly likely to be dying ol
eagerness to give out news that is not favorable to themselves. In one place
we were told yesterday that one million Austrians were advancing on Lublin
and in another place we were told that all Russian Poland, where Lublin is,
has been cleared of Austrians.
We were also told that ten thousand Germans were found dead after one
battle in East Prussia but the name of the battle was not given. Now, one
of the first requirements of a newspaper reporter is to give all the details
possible about a story so that when the Russians send out a story like that
without even mentioning the name of the place one is inclined to think that
the official press bureau of the czar's government ought, at least, to hire a few
cub reporters. In this respect, it may be said, that T. I*. O’Connor, owner of
several London papers, requested the government in the house of commons
recently' to put newspaper men at the head of the British press bureau as
the news given out was ridiculous. At the head of the bureau now is a very
eminent lawyer named F. E. Smith, member of parliament, but evidently
one who does not savey the reportorial game. To this want of training in
that particular field of the men at the heads of the bureaus is undoubtedly
due a lot of the absurd reports sent out. The reporting game is not sup
posed to be the writing but the knowing what the public requires.

NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Valdez, Sept. 6.—Chairman Edcs
and Lieut. Mears of the Alaska En
gineering commission were both in
Valdez Friday morning, Mr. Edes
having arrived from Ship Creek, and
Lieut. Mears having come over the
wagon road in the road commission
automobile with Lieut. Kunzig from
the mouth of the Delta.
When interviewed by Secretary
Fish of the Valdez Commercial assoc
iation, Lieut. Mears stated that as
soon as he could make the trip over
the Copper River and Northwestern
railway to Kennecott, he would return
to Valdez and investigate thoroughly
the merits of the Valdez route over
Thompson’s pass.
Wrangell—An odd war coincidence
came to us this week when the Karen
arrived down the river from Tele
graph with two passengers aboard
bound for their native countries to
take up arms against each other in
the great war now going on. Cap
tain Marker of the British army and
Count Caudenhone of Austria. Both
men are captains in the regular arm
ies of their respective countries.
Captain Marker has seen three or four
years of sendee in India and Count
Caudenhove has also seen sendee.
The men are great friends.
W. R. Rogers, notice of whose ar
rest at Libert yville, Illinois, appeared
in the press dispatches of a few days
ago, has waived his rights of extradi
tion and consented to return to Ju
neau for trial on a charge of murder
ing his partner, Jim VV. Wixon.
Rogers and Wixon were partner*
in prospecting and mining on Christ
mas creek, four miles from Porcupine,
in the Rainy Hollow district, when
the former shot the latter to death,
May 23, 1913. Rogers came into
Haines and the next day surrendered
to Deputy United States Marshal W.
S. Hurdling. Rogers claimed that
there had been ill-feelTng developing
between him ami Wixon for some
time, and that when he fired the shot
that caused death he did so in self
defense.
Rogers was exonerated by a cor
oner’s jury at Haines, May 26, 1913,
and shortly afterward left the conn-j
try.—Ex.
Nome, Sept. 3.—Jasper Peterson,
an old resident of Nome, was drowned
yesterday in the surf five miles west
of Nome. He had been on a fishing
trip ami was returning in a sailboat i
when his craft was capsized. His
body was found on the beach by the
life-saving crew, who brought it here.
A Cordova paper claims that Val
dez will be solid for Bunnell. This is
the first time Cordova papers ever
gave Valdez credit for being very
solid for anything.—Douglas Island
