>L»» AKD, ALASKA. Ml KSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1916.
Alaska is at a great disadvantage when it comes to getting appropria
tions. it ha^ r.o votes to otter in return for favorable votes from the repre
sentatives oi other places. It must depend entirely on the work of unselfish
menus m congress. Usually those unselfish friends come from the coast
states or the ones bordering on them. The Washington delegation has al
ways been strong in the light for us. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has
been conspicuous as a friend oi the territory. In recent years Senator Key
Pitman oi Nevada, and formerly of Nome, has shown a deep interest in Al
aska s development. In the earlier days William Sulzer led. Other states
ha\e men in congress who always seem to have some objection to spending
money on Alaska. Alaska has no proprietory interest in tne pork barrel be
cause she has no vote, and vet it must be remembered that the appropriation
,-luch has bee i made is a large one. Alaska’s outside friends have stood by
her.
Conscription is bound to have some peculiar effect on social life in Great
Britain . Notwithstanding the fact that it is probably the most free nation on
earth in a political sense social rules exist which are more powerful than
any acts of parliament. Taking the most eminent example, it can be said
that the king is the least powerful of monurchs and the most influential. As
a monarch he a mere i.gurchead with less power than the president of the
United States but as a social leader he is the keystone which holds the whole
structure together.
Under the conscription law, it is to be assumed, all social classes will
be compelled to serve on an equal footing. The shallow son of the lord may
have to take his place in the trenches with the gamekeeper's son unless the
son of the lo~d has wits enough or pull enough to get a commission even
when unfitted for it. That gilded youth has been accustomed to look at the
laborer us a being belonging to another sphere of existence altogether. He
has been brought up with the belief that the blood of his ancestors gives
him a sort of a divine right to lord it over the rabble. Let us suppose that
the British will get alive once and choose worthy men for officers instead of
choosing men because their mother had a couple of nurses. In that case the
result would be that a man born humbly but born of parents who gave him
brains and backbone would be the commander of nincompoops of the artificial
nobility. This would be a frightful change in things English. It would be
a social cataclysm before which the war itself would sink to nothing. At
least the nincompoops would think so.
MINING DEAL IS
CONSUMMATED NOW
FAIRBANKS.—It has developed
that before he left for the states f
Luther He-ss made the final payment
on the ground which he optioned on
Portage creek. The deal was started
through the agency of R. M. Craw
ford. Val Diebold gave Luther Hess
an option on the property for $1,000,
and an additional $9,000. This was
to be paid in installments. Shortly
before he left Fairbanks Mr. Hess
paid an additional $3,000 in cash and
gave Val Diebold title to some Gold-i
stream property for the balance of
the transaction.
By the purchase and final payment
on the property Mr. Hess secures
practically the whole of Portage
creek. —News-Miner.

SEWARD CITY TREASURER
HANDLES SOME COIN
City Treasurer, J. H. Romig, is now
preparing a report of the city’s fin*
ances and tax collections which w\ll
be read at the next meeting of the
council next Monday night. The re
port has not been completed but \t
known that the city has taken in and
deposited since the taking of office
by the treasurer last April some
thing over $52,900, or considerably
over $1,000 per week. The balance to
the credit of the city in the Bank of
Seward is a good substantial one,
something like $14,000. The treas
urer estimates with the taxes still to
be collected and the present rate of
expenditure the city’s finances should
be around $10,000, when the new
council takes office.

NOTHING SHOWN AT
RUDE CREEK CAMP
DAWSON, Dec. 13.—Mushers who
have arrived from Rude creek, in the
new mining district, report that a
hundred men in the camp are just
starting the sinking of holes, the mild
weather having delayed the work up
to this time. No results have yet
been obtained as bedrock has not been
reached. The road on the \ ukon
river from Dawson to Rude creek is
the best ever, owing to the overflows i
having made a smooth surface. There j
is no store or roadhouse as yet in the
new camp.—Ex.
