SIM \KD. \L ASK A, TPESDAY. MAY 18. 1915.
Pour members of the present fit} council have again decided not to pub
lish the ordinances in the newspaper. I'hey divided last night to post them
in three public place* and to get a lot of books of them printt'd and sent to
the taxpayers. \n>thing to keep the local newspaper from making any
money.
But, thi* i* what they call freak public work. Sending around books of
ordinances to the public and posting up the ordinances is really childish. It
i* altogether tts> remindful of the scratching post of the Duke of Argyle. It
i-. positively tunny, and the newspaper is not saying this because it loses
money by the joke. Right now columns of the Gateway are tilled with
federal government notice* which the land othce officials did not post instead
of publishing. They know too much for that.
The only really serious consideration in connection with this matter is
that any members ol the city council would not have the directness of spirit
to say what exactly is the real cause of refusing to have the ordinances pub
lished. It is not economy. Economy to the present big four of the council is
as courage was to l alstafl—something for the gallery at the very moment
when the virtue could honorably lie dormant and maintain the silence which
is the strongest proof of its existence. Those four soi-disant economists even
refused to postpone the matter a> the mayor and 1 ouncilmen Chamberlin and
\oungs suggested they might do to try to secure cheap printing. No, by
heavens, we have the majority. We are four and they are three. We have
the might and therefore we have the right. We have lavished the city money
in other things hut to spend money publishing ordinances—Never! All
other city councils in Maska have done it. but that is nothing to us. We had
nothing to do with those councils or any other councils and we are not bound
hy the precedents and the rules that we know nothing about.
Even if the council majority has to bring hypocrisy—but, then, let it go
at that* too much space has been wasted now. And, besides, there are so j
many big men and things just now claiming attention.

Many people have seen in the present war the danger of a real world
cataclysm and their vision seems now to have been superhumanly clear. With ,
the entry of Italy into the maelstrom of murder those forebodings return with
insistent force. It is not difficult to bring the imagination to picture in the
fumes rising from the European shambles a catastrophe before which all j
other earthly curses seem tame. W ith all nations fighting and slaughtering, j
with medical supplies exhausted and the hot sun of summer pouring its heat
on decaying bodies we may yet have something that is infinitely worse even
than the war itself.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
WHITEHORSE. May L—The river
is open nearly all the way from
Whitehorse to l’awson and Lake l.e
barge will be open within a few days j
and fully a month earlier than u>ual.
Vet there is not sufficient water on the ,
flats at the head of the lake for j
steamers to cross and probably will |
not Ik* much before the first of June.
—(Whitehorse Star.)
koyukuk has set the pace this
spring for Alaska placer camps by
producing a single pan containing
$1,6:’.2 worth of native gold. Just
what shape it was in was not stated,
but evidently in large nuggets and j
dust. It is a big nugget country but
never before has a pan produced any- j
thing like this amount since the early
days of the Klondike.
Nelson and Smith were the lucky
operators, working on 4 below Ham
mond river. The pan was washed i
March 25th. In addition to this their
pickups for six days following
amounted to an average of $1,000 a
day. showing that they must have tap- j
pod a very rich pocket.
J I NKAl’.—At least twenty pas
sengers on the steamship City of
Seattle, including Senator Charles A.
Sulzer, Senator Thomas McCann and
Representative James P. Daly will
testify thut tho Alaskan gray wolf
will swim, upsetting the claims made
in the Legislature at the time the wolf
bounty bill was under discussion. At
that time it was declared by several
members that wolves could not swim.
When the City of Seattle was pass
ing through Wrangell Narrows Wed
nesday night a large timber wolf was
seen swimming the channel. The ves
sel passed so close to the animal that
all the passengers on deck could see
it clearly. The distant from shore to
shore where the wolf was seen, is
about a half a mile.
All of the passengers regretted that
they had no firearms, having in mind
the bounty which the Territory placed
on wolves in the passage of the Sulzer
act.
NOME.—Commissioner Frank
Waskey, former delegate to congress,
is now in this city endeavoring to
form a company to exploit the alleg
ed rich discoveries recently made in
the Marshall City region, on the lower
Yukon. Waskey claims that good pay
has been found and that the camp is
a sure winner. No details of the find
however, have been disclosed.
Complete set of bar fixtures, first
class in every resepect. Will sell
