MISTAKES in newspapers are unavoidable. It has long ago been ad
mitted by newspapermen and by the educated that the very haste necessary
in producing newspapers makes mistakes an
THE NEWS SERV ICE inseparable part of the game. Indeed, one may
go further and say that mistakes are a sine
qua non in newspaper work, which is a sort ot short way tor saying that
without making mistakes there would be no newspapers. That looks like an
exaggerated statement but it is nevertheless a fact that is recognized by the
be>t newspapermen as well as by the best informed members of the public.
There are many unthinking, uninformed people who can never forgive a
mistake in a paper but the very fault in their nature which compels them to
withhold charity in thought also compels them to withhold the “charity of
their silence** and the liberality of supporting what they read for nothing.
It is also a recognized fact in newspupenlom that the more generous a
man is in supporting a paper the more generous he will be in overlooking its
faults. In other words a man cannot be generous in one way and not be gen
erous all through. Find the man who is generous to his neighbor’s short
comings and you will itnd a man whose nature is wholly genetous.
Even the London 'l imes once lost a quarter of a million dollars because it
accused a man of being a murderer who proved that the evidence on which
the limes based it> accusation was a torgory. Only the other day duiing
the trial of the Caillaux case in Laris we found that the great journal of that
city known as the Figaro was about to publish diplomatic documents which
the government also proved to have been forgeries. I his means that two oi
the world’s greate.-t journa s hail been deceived and had made mistakes.
Coming back home to the present time and the place anti this paper it
might not be any harm to ntmtul the people that right now actually, in a
sense, the correspondents of this newspaper, some of the brightest and best
trained newspaper men in the world, are working night and day at enormous
expense to furnish our readers with the news of the great European conflict.
The great Associated Lrcss correspondents are now encircling the globe to
fmd the most reliable news for all the newspapers that are members of the
great association, and the tlateway is one of them.
Even then mistakes wi,' occur and information will be given out that
cannot be utterly reded upon from time to time. Dispatches from Laris or
London or St. Letersb ug \\ tel us that the Hermans and Austrians are
being defeated and from the latter countries will come information that is
diametrically opposed to the other. Hut, in a less blameworthy sense, it can
he stated that th* convs|>ondents are being used as the forgers used the
Times and Figaro. The *u ts is censored in all the cities and countries and
nothing detrimental to the interests of those countries may hope to find an
outlet. This i;* only a means of self preservation on the part of those nations
and no one can blame them, but the fact remains that all people who have
been blessed w ith mind." to think for themselves should be on their guard and
pl.ue the blame, if blame there is. on those who are primarily responsible.
So. there now.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
To illustrate the bigness of Alaska
Congressman Falconer of Washing
ton, in a speech on the government
railroad in the house a month ago,
made the following comparisons re
garding "her magnificent distances:”
“Alaska placed on the map of the
United States, with Ketchikan at
Charleston, S. C., and Juneau at
Knoxville, Tenn., places Skagway in
southern Kentucky, Cordova at St.
Louis. Mo.; Fairbanks in northern
Iowa, Nome in South Dakota, Point
Barrow in northern Minnesota, Sew
ard in western Missouri and the west
ern extremity of the Aleutian islands
northwest of Los Angeles, Cal.”

N. C. agent at Marshall, was a pas
senger up on the Sarah and will re
main here until the goods are cheeked
back into this station or he is trans
ferred to some other point.
Mr. Carlson reports the prospect in
the Marshall camp a little brighter.
There ha* been about $2,000 cleaned
up on Discovery, Wilson creek, oper
ated by Charles Dugan and A. Edgar,
anti on No. 1, Disappointment creek,
by C. A. Rhode. Edgar cleaned up

by IS feet wide. There are about 20
men in the camp anti will be more this
winter.
There is no store at Marshall other
than a small incomplete trading stock
belonging to U. S. Commissioner
Frank Waskey.
Mr. Carlson has two nuggets from
the Marshal camp, worth $0.85 and
$0.25. These are the two coarsest
pieces found so far.

product realized upon, some $15v
