Really and truly the great powers seem to be quite a bit childish. Each
is accusing the other of brutality and inhumanity and all sorts of things.
They remind one of two kids fighting and one ot the kids turning around to
the group of juvenile and interested onlookers and making a complaint and
asking them if they “see him kicking me in de stummick wit* his knoe.”
The reports of the unit'd governments send out gloating accounts of
thousand' of Germans piled dead in the trenches and then comes a hig kick
because three or four civilians are killed accidentally by a stray bomb or shot.
One day Petrograd has over-run Galicia and Nish has captured the capi
tal of Bosnia and the next day the Austrian empire is about to be wiped off
the map with Asiatic cholera.
This paper is a member of the Associated Press, the greatest press ser
vice by far in the I nited States What it receives is the cream of the reliable
news so far as the association can secure it
Other newspapers may get many other stories which the Gateway does
not get but the chances always are that the other papers secure only the im
aginative romances of men who have not the reputation ol a great news ag
ency to maintain and are, therelore, perfectly free to let their minds soar in
to the realms of fancy It is impossible for an outsider to understand the dis
gusting faking practiced in newspaper offices. Any bum reporter could tell a
story about the great European war that would easily beat the official state
ments of the European governments, and the only thing about it would he
that it was an infernal fabrication and a lie.
In this respect it must be said, whatever one’s opinion about the war
might be. that the official news coming from Russia must he issued by of
ficial' to whom a cub reporter would be as an angel of light and an apostle
of veracity. Those officials are probably the greatest liars unhung. For the
past two months they ha>e had the Russian armies on the march to Berlin
and Vienna. Two weeks after the war began the Austrians were evacuating
Cracow. Yesterday the dispatches told us that the Germans had reached the
Vistula riu*r in southern Russian Boland. If anyone looks at the map he can
see what that means. I* it not evident that if the Germans were at the Vis
tula ri\er at that point the fortress cannot be very much threatened. Also
some time ago the dispatches from Nish, Servia, told us that the Ser'ian
troop* had captured Serajevo and it sounds very ridiculous to have to publish
the fact a few weeks later that the Montenegrins are still marching on the
Bosnian capital. \nd the blooming little village has only forty thousand people
anyhow. It is a town in about the same class as Everett, Washington. What
a terrible boast surely. But it is nothing to the capitals they have captured
in Hungary around the Carpathian mountains—such capitals as Muncacs,
Szigeth etc.. The chances are that some of those capitals are about the size
of Cordova or Valdez or some little burgs in that class. And yet they told
us that the government of Szigeth was forced to move north. Good night.

VOTE FOR
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you
in person, I find it necessary to make this announcement through the
medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914.
For Senator
ground was that accomplished by E.'
M. Keys, at 15 below Cleary, last Fri
day. In a 10 hour workday, the oper
ator hoisted 551 buckets of dirt or not
quite one to every minute. During the
last half hour of work the operator
hoisted 60 buckets, or one every half
minute. The ground is 80 feet deep,
and the feat is considered remarkable
by all Chatanika mining men.—Fair
banks Times.
From Cordova Alaskan.—At the ap-,
proaching election there is going to be
some little confusion over the proper
method of voting and caring for th»»
ballots. In the First division the clerk
of the court, presumably under in
structions of Judge Jennings, has giv
en public notice that it will be neces
sary to vote on separate tickets for
Delegate to Congress and members of
the Territorial legislature. In the
Third division Attorney Dimond at
Valdez sought to have the matter de- j
termined by Judge Brown and asked I
for a writ of mandamus to require the
election officers of a certain precinct
to have two ballot boxes at the elect
ion in November. The court denied
the writ, so that the question will now
be one to be determined by the eletion
o licials in the different precincts.
A two-foot wide ledge of copper ore
was found by Frank Waskey, former
delegate to congress, while excavating
for a cabin on the bank of the Yukon
at Marshall. Samples of the ore have
been sent outside by Mr. Waskey. The
find was made when excavation work
was in progress for the foundation of
the new Waskey home. For the pres
ent Mrs. Waskey and the children arc
making their home in a tent high up
on the bank of the river.
A war tax has been imposed by the
Canadia government and in Yukon
cigars, cigaretts, tobacco, spirituous
liquors, ale, beer, sugar and confect
ionery became subject to the tax on
August 7.
