Prof. Martin, of the University of
Wisconsin, has jumped into the lime
light and as far as Alaska is con
cerned (unless it be those who have
personal interests in Portage ba\) has
proven himself to he one ot two things,
a knave or an ass. It would appear
from the way he describes the situa
tion at Passage canal that he hits been
prevailed upon to assist those who are
trying to defeat the Alaska railway
bill, for his statements are so far from
the truth of actual conditions here
that he makes himself ridiculous in
the eyes of those who know the facts.
But that does not concern Seward so
much, for every one here knows that,
there is not a chance in ten million
that the government will ever build a
railroad via Passage canal, but what
we do object to is having the state
ment go abroad that Bear glacier, near
Seward, is a menace to navigation at
all times of the tear. Such a state
ment is absolutely false and cannot be
substantiated by Prof. Martin or any
other person, be he a ^geologist or a
dupe for the promoters of the Portage
City townsite company.
If there is a harmless glacier in
Alaska, it is Bear glacier, and the old
est inhabitant on the Kenai peninsula
will tell you that it has never yet j
sloughed an iceberg into the sea that
would interfere with the progress of
an Indian canoe.
Prof. Martin and W. D.- Boyce
should get together and agree as to j
which of the two should be dubbed
jack and which should be dubbed ass,
for as a combination it spells jackass.
The steamship Dora sailed east from
Kodiak at 7 o’clock on the 2nd. She
should arrive in Seward sometime to- j
morrow afternoon.
