SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, JANUARY 17, 1916.
Secretary Lane’s courteous response to the request of the Gateway to
tell the status of the emergency appropriation holds out promise of a speedy
granting of the money. Mr. Lane did not say the money was sure, of course,
but he went as near saying it as a man in his position could. It would never
do for him to have said positively that the money is certain even though he
knew it absolutely as that would have seemed to be anticipating the report
of the committee and the action of congress, and the secretary could not dare
to do so as such a procedure would be tantamount to giving away a secret
•which belongs to congress alone. To produce a humble example to show what
meant, it need only be said that such action on the part of Mr. Lane would
be similar to the giving away beforehand the probable action of a city council
by one of the officials.
The secretary of the interior, instead of so courteously answering the
question wired to him, would have probably maintained silence had he the
. lightest doubt of the passing of the emergency bill. It was noticed that he
onlv expressed the hope that the money will be forthcoming before February
first but the word hope in this case means more than expectation. It means
that, although being fully' aware of any opposition that might come up, he
perceives its powerless ness.
The opposition of men like Knute Nelson is very hard to understand.
Senator Nelson once headed a congressional delegation to Alaska and ap
parently went away the territory ’s frined. In one respect their opposition
may not be inexplicable. They are Republicans and the railroad is being con
structed by a Democratic government. Therefore, what is said against the
railroad is said against the Democratic administration. Any little thing
which can show Democratic blundering is good political thunder especially
in this year >f election. The chances are that none of these people wish to
hurt the railroad scheme and probably they know their opposition is futile,
but the other side is responsible for it and therefore it should be attacked. No
opposition has yet shown up in the open and the truth probably is that there
i.>. to all intents and purposes, no opposition at all. In the meantime it would
seem to be the part of wisdom for every public body near the railroad route
to let Washington know at once that the people here on the spot see no faults
in the choice of route or in the manner of construction.
IT IS IT TO THF: PEOPLE OF SEWARD AND ANCHORAGE TO
TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO STRENGTHEN THE HAND OF SECRE
TARY LANE P.Y TELLING CONGRF:SS THE TRl’TH BEFORE THE BILL
COMES IT FOR DISCUSSION.

WORLD’S WING CHAMPION
t&li* young
in Alaska live the rest of the year in
South America, 5,000 miles away.
The nighthawk that breeds on the
^>anks of the Yukon, in Alaska, goes
to Argentina. 7,000 miles distant, at
the approach of autumn. These are
long distances, you say. Yes, and
they are covered, you must remember,
by land birds. The migration routes
of shore birds art' even longer. Nine
teen species of shore birds that nest
north of the ’ Arctic circle winter in
SOUth nmerj^' «X.«Jvih£i5L8Si,lSUi?
r*«t*sronia.
than 8,000 m/iles long.
The world’s migration champion,
however, is. the Arctic tern. It builds
its nest Un the ice, not far south of
the north pole. When the young
birds are full grown the whole family
starts south, and in the course of sev- ^
eral months arrive at the edge of the
Antarctic continent.
What the track is over the 11,000
miles of land, ice and water between
the two homes of this remarkable bird
no one knows. A few Arctic terns
have been seen along the United
States coast below Long Island, but
the mighty flocks of thousands upon
thousands, which range from pole to
pole, have never been noted by an
ornithologist competent to indicate
their preferred route and their time
schedule.
They reach the far North about
June 15, leave about August 25, and
travel 22,000 miles a year. Not less
than 150 miles in a straight line must
be their daily flight, and that distance
is no doubt multiplied several times
by their zigzag turnings in pursuit of
food. So the journeying habits of
the birds are full of surprises and
contradictions, and the mystery of j
their migration is still engaging the
attention of a great many naturalists.
A few migrate only in daylight,
but most birds feed and rest during
the day and travel at night. The day
migrants include hawks, swallows,
nighthawks and chimney swifts.
The nighthawks and chimney swifts
catch their food while on the wing.
Their progress north or south is slow.
Whew they come to a lake or a large
pond they fly around it instead of
over it.—J. 11. Morrow in Cincinnati
Enquirer.
