THE REAL STORY of the war is not being told and what is more it will
never be told. Even history has a trick of coloring the relation of deeds in
favor of the country in which it is published and what
THAT WAR a German historian and a French historian will tell
about the present campaign will be two different things
entirely.
In the city of Paris today stands the Arc of Triumph on which are en
graved the names of the battles won by the great Napoleon. One of the
battles mentioned is Quatre Bras which was fought just before Waterloo and
in which, as proven b\ the presence of the name on the Arc ot Iriumph, the
French were victorious. Did anyone who has confined his leading to his
tories published in Britain ever hear of Quatre Bras and its result .
The German historians claim that the battle of Waterloo itself was won
by Rlucher but the British historians have another story. At the siege of
Sebastopol it was the French under McMahon who stormed the Malakotf ami
took and thereby rendering the defense of the city impossible. How many
hi tories in our language tell us that fact?
So will it he with this war. Historians, honestly blinded by patriotism,
will loan towards dishonesty unconsciously and never shall we know the truth.

SEWARD SHOULD begin to take up the question of having the mail for
Nome dispatcher! thi> way. There is nothing unfriendly to Cordova in this
ami there would be no reason for that town to take
THE M ML ROUTE offense any more than there would be reason for
one merchant to take offense because another pre
senter! better bargains. The people of Nome ought to be communicated with
and the pos toff ice department should then be approached with all the facts,
particularly the fact that by shipping the mail this way Nome anti the other
places in that part of Alaska would receive quicker service. The difference
in the distances would also have the effect of decreasing the long intervals
in the fail and sprii g during which Nome receives no mail at all. A hotly
like the Commercial club is the one to handle such matters anti by taking it
up the Commercial club might be able to perform a splendid service.
IF THK WAK lasts two or three years the chances are that all the pro
phets will be confounded and inventions will be made that will change all
warfare. In the civil war the monitor came as the offspring of necessity. In
times of war minds are turned to things relating to war and when minds be
come active on any particular condition a change in those conditions follow al
most as a natural result.
Many of the inventions for waging modern war are in their infancy. I he
airship is a real infant and the submarines is nothing much better than a
child. Should either idea be developed to its full capacity the result would
probably be decisive in favor of the side that produced the development.
And inventions have not ended with the airship and the submarine. There
are many things in heaven and earth that the minds of men have never
dreamed of. as the Nard of Avon said, but when dire necessity comes those
minds become active, stimulated by the patriotism which raises humanity
above itself.
One bright idea may yet save France or save Germany.

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
modium tf 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.
1 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.

For Senator
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Two members of tl\£ first senate of
the territory who were given the short
term will not be candidates again.
Henry Koden has quit the Fourth di
vision where he had his residence for
many years and has gone to Juneau
to settle down. Conrad Freeding has
taken u hotel in Seattle and is no
longer an Alaskan. Doth of these ex
senators have made the statement
that when they signed the letter
against the government railroad they
were jobbed. Dan Sutherland, the
holdover senator from the Fourth di
vision, has struck good pay in Kuby
recently. He was expected to come to
the coast to meet Delegate Wicker
sham but his mining activities will
probably interfere.
The Juneau Dispatch and the Ju
neau Empire are now engaged in fiery
debates over the delegate election.
Dispatch is as strong a Wickersham
supporter as the Empire is against.
One fact worthy of remark in this re
spect is that the present governor
who formerly owned the Empire, was
never friendly to Wickersham in his
active newspaper days.
The members of the SteflFanson ex
pedition stayed at Nome during a
great part of last summer and had
become almost as familiar as the real
brand of Nomeites. Nearly the whole
outfit for the expedition was purchas
ed at Nome and meant the expendi
ture of tens of thousands of dol
lars. Many of the men who have per
ished so miserably were guests at
dinner at the Log Cabin club on the;
evening before they left so that their
deaths are a real local calamity. Mrs.
Murray, wife of one of the members
of the expedition, accompanied her
husband to Nome and returned to
Canada after a most touching fare
well. She was a grey-haired lady
who seemed to cling to the husband
to the last moment before he went in
to the Arctic. He was one of the men
who never reached the island. The
chances are that those who failed to
reach the island were carried out on
the ice to die by slow torture under
the most appalling circumstances.
Joe Bernard, who w ith Louis Lane
says that Steflfanson must be dead, is
a brother of Pete Bernard, captain of
one of the StetTansor. expedition
ships, the Mary Sachs.
Skagway recently held a horticul
tural show which is said to have been
an immensely interesting exhibition.
The beautiful exhibits were later sent
to the Chamber of Commerce at
Seattle where they will be kept on
view. Some of the people of Skag
way have accomplished wonders in
the garden line.
WAR NOTES
LONDON, Frederic Harrison, in the
Times, says: “The abominable crimes
against humanity and civilization call
for the condign reprobation of the
civilized world. The German military
civil order is responsible for the
poisoning of the moral sense of the
German nation.
“The Germans have adopted the in
fernal code that“Might is Right, and,
under the influence of this inverted
doctrine, their millions have commit
ted enormities which would be hor
rible to the Dahomey African savages.
“Let us hear no more whining about
German culture. Let us make the
world ring with our sense of horror.
“When the allies finally shall crush
the monstrous brute, if indeed they
choose that he survive, he should be
submitted to the degradation of Drey
fus. In the presence of the alies, his
blood-stained sword should be broken,
and the uniforms from his craven back
should be filled with the odor and
stamped by the mire of Devil s Island
prison, which should be his dwelling
place and his grave. The German
people will then understand how the
civilized world feels about their mod
ern Attila, the new scourge of God.”
LONDON.—After the naval battle
of Heligoland, German prisoners were
found suffering from wounds caused
by revolver bullets. The wounds were
caused, it is declared, by German of
ficers, who at the point of the re
volver, were preventing their men
from surrendering to the British.
Count von Schwerin, one of the
prisoners, was chained hands and feet
because he refused to give word not
to try to escape. He carried a sword
given to him by the emperor, of whom
he is a nephew.
