The result of the sale of town lots at Anchorage shows that the people
over there lacked either money, confidence or a desire to take property on
which ih«» government had strings. If Anchorage were really to be anything
like a terminal of a government railroad to the interior anything LIKE a
terminal, remember no corner lot which is supposed to be the best or one
of the be>t in the city eeuld be Knight for twelve hundred dollars or five times
that price. In Cordova, or even Skugwuy, both railroad towns, a corner lot
in a central location could not be touched tor such price as that, and Cor
dova and Skugwa; are only termini for short local lines. It is remarkable
that, m spite of the advertising which the sale received, very few people
came from outside. This is probably accounted for by the fact that the
terms would prevent an early re-sale of the lots by the original purchasers.
The total amount which the government will receive from the sale of the lots,
it is now evident, will not be more than a few score of thousands but one
pleasant fact suggests itself and that is that if any benefit conies from the
purchase of !ot.> the purchasers are probably Alaskans, and probably not
wealthy speculators.
Governor Strong will arrive in Seward tomorrow or the next day. At
the time this is written tneiv is no more direct information as to the exact
time of his arrival than a message from a passenger on the Victoria which
*a> - the vessel is due in Seward on the Thirteenth. That means tomorrow,
*,> the time i* ver> *hort. It has been suggested that a steamer go out to
meet the Victoria. It was said last evening that the agent of the Alaska
Steamship company had spoken of the Santa Ana for this purpose, and with
the Santa Ana sailing out with colors flying and band playing on the deck
Seward would provide a pleasant and unique form of welcome. This sug
gestion was made t * this paper and not by the paper, but it appeal's to be a
tine idea.
One of the chief realms why Governor Strong should always receive a
royal welcome is that he possesses in a marked degree the inherent and ac
quired qualities o’* the true Alaskan. He was here with the first rush of pop
ulation ami wa I that spirit of the broad North
and retained it even when elevated to the gubernatorial chair. While it is
a compliment to to call Strong a typical Alaskan it is a compliment
also to the territory. With the possible exception of that fine old man
Swineford, Major Strong > the only real Alaskan that has ever been the terri
tory's chief citizen. He i> more than welcome.

A
K ARRER TRIED TO
HOODWINK LEGISLATORS.
That F. X. Karrer, superintendent
of the public schools of Fairl nnk>*
tried to hoodwink the legislators into
passing a school bill which contained >
a joker was stated by Senator Dan j
Sutherland when he was in Fairbanks j
on his way to the lower river. The j
bill, which was sent to Juneau by the
supporters of Professor Karrer, was
sent to the legislature with the re
quest that it be acted on during the
session.
Upon a careful examination of the
bill, said Senator Sutherland, the J
legislators discovered the joker and
discarded the measure indignantly.
According to the terms of the bill,
no one in Alaska or anywhere else
could have filled the place except F.
X. Karrer.—(Fairbanks Times.)
RUBY.—Senator Dan Sutherland,
who was in the Tolovana country for
a week or ten days, was asked his
opinion of the camp upon his arrival
at Ruby on the Delta.
Mr. Sutherland knows too well the
uncertainty of new mining camps to
make positive statements regarding
the future of Tolovana but said he
! found nothing there to get excited
■ about. H. Paterson undoubtedly has
good pay on a bench of Livengood
creek. On a bench lower down Liv
engood there is low grade pay, and
: the same may be said of some of the
tributaries. Outside of that, pros
pects are all there is to the district
| so far. If the Livengood pay proves
to be continuous Totovana will be a
very good little camp.—(Record
