WHY.
Fast night all members were pres
ent at the regular session of the cit>
council. One of the important mat
ters of business to come before thi
council was that of a Fire Depart
ment. At a previous meeting of th*
council several issues hail been thresh
ed out and were ready to be disposed
of. Last night there was no repre
sentation of the department members
present and absolutely jfo light was
thrown on mooted questions. Council
men who have espoused the causes ol
the Department had nothing to say;
but taking the words of a councilman)
at a previous meeting “we must do
>omething, as a tire department is
paramount to practically every other
department of the city s atfairs,
nothing was done last night.
The Gateway can only ask “why?”
Two weeks ago, last week, last
night, today are all the same regard
ing fires. The Seward Lire Depart
ment is no nearer an organization to
day, apparently, than it has been to
months. The council has do?e* it
part and action otherwise is expected.
A Fire Cnief was to bo recommenc
ed at the session last night but th» re
was no peep.
At the me t*ag last night ‘hen
one young n an present, wiv> w is
asked to make a statement, and he
said: “Well, we asked for a writ’on
statement that the council would re
ply to our interrogations/*

worse than wasted, and now it dis
close the possession of another treas
ure equaling, if not surpassing, in va
lue those previously taken from the
frozen wilds by all the Wise Ones.
For platinum has been found there—
platinum, the royal metal, to which
even gold bows in humidity and sil
ver dares not even approach.
The extent of the discovery is not
yet determined, hut it is known to be
large, and the deposits are so rich
that the chemist to whom the first
samples were submitted for analysis
didn’t have the courage to report on
them lest he be thought guilty oi a
wild exaggeration. And the platinum
now in sight is only a beginning, as
was the gold in California’s rivers
that caused the epoch-dating “rush”
of *4t>. The real mines are back in
the mountains, nobody knows just
of the futute will be done, but mean
while thi nvei sands will pay again
Alaska’s many times canceled debt.
1* \UTV OK NATION IN WISCONSIN
(New York World)
In due time the people of Wiscon
sin will have to elect a successor to
the late Senator Hasting for the term
ending March 4. 1!>2L Discussion of
thi.> highly interesting contest pro
ceeds in most places, we regret to
say, upon party lines.
Senator Hlisting was a Democrat,
but the political label ot the man
who is to take his place is immater
ial. He many be Democrat or Re
publican. he may be standpatter or
progressive, but he ought to he an
American without qualifications, hy
phens, excuses or apologies, and he
ought not to belong to Senator La
Toilette.
To defeat this arch-demagogue and
elect a Senator of its own, W isconsin
has only to abandon party politics for
a season and consider the interests ot
the Nation. In spite of its foreign
W’isconsin is sound at heart, and it
ran speak in its sovereign capacity it
which an unworthy leader has forced
The American people have a right
to demand of the true citizenship of
that State that the new Senator be
an American and not Prussian, anoth
er La Toilette. Democrat or Repub
lican in such a agse, he will bo all the
same to the United States and to its
enemies.

How would you like to live in An
chorage and have the BIG NEWS
PAPER OF THAT Bl'RG BY THE
INLET announce to the world that it
is a city of iniquity? Praise the be
ings that we live in Seward.
What is that six by two feet stud
that the Anchorage Times is pulling
anyway? Does it mean that the Times
recognizes the fact that the LL KG
BY THE INLET IS BURIED AL
READY,
The loss of the Mariposa is deeply
regretted. This is a time when ships
run into pound valuation. Not only
i.s the government embarrassed in
this disaster, but the people of Sew
ard as well. It means one less steam
er on the route to Southwestern Alas
ka. One less steamer on the route
means much to us here and one thing
that is hard to replace.
Cheer up, ladies of Seward, even it
your supplies for the boys in E ranee
were lost on the Mariposa, you have
plenty of energy and wherewithal to
make good the lost. It is only a case
of love’s labor lost and in the cause of
Democracy for the world we are nev
er lost.
