SEWARD, AL VSK V, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1915.
Talking about that cable which recently emanated from the Alaska
Bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce, it may be said with absolute
certainty that no resolution endorsing the Seward route has recently been
parsed. What the secretary intended to say was that the Bureau has always
endorsed the route, not that a resolution was just passed. lo harbor the
idea that John Bailaine or some other tmuscendant genius torced the Bureau
to pass sueh a resolution when he went outside is to credit John or the others
with regarding themselves in the manner of the Thre Tooley Street Tailors
of blessed and immortal memory.
The Gateway manages, through the United Press service, to get its
news sometimes twenty-four hours earlier than other papers on the Alaska
coast but in the case of the steamship Minnesota it was forty-eight hours
ahead. The only way the less fortunate papers can combat such service as
that is to say “there aint no sieh news happening.”
A dispatch to a Fairbanks paper from somewhere else recently quoted
Colonel Richardson as saying he did not believe he had expressed himself
strongly enough about Delegate Wickersham in the All-Alaska Review letters
and the Delegate is said to have a letter in his possession written by him
self in answer to the Colonel which is a peach for invective. Those letters
advertised the Review more than any other conceivable circumstance. Even
vet people are sending for copies ol the issue in which the letters were con
tained, and this give's a vivid illustration of the peculiar fact that men like
nothing better than to watch other men having a tight. Oh, thou wonderful
human nature!
That immortal genius who has invented a substitute for alcoholic drinks
should offer his sendees and inventive powers to some of the belligerent na
tions. It is a crying shame to let him flourish in a land of peace and plenty.
It is a shame to let him flourish at all. He should be placed in a trench and
be supplied with all the shots his anatomy could hold. It would do himself
and the world only half justice to have him half shot.
ROM vNUE FIGURES IN
NAMING THE CYPRUS
JUNEAU—In explanation of the
name chosen for his private yacht,
D. C. Jackling. while in the city Sun
day, related the story of the name
“Cyprus.” Several years ago Mr.
Jackling met with a student of arch
aeology* who during his conversation
mentioned the Isle of Cyprus in the
Mediterranean sea. and re marked in
cidentally that the name Cyprus is
derived from an old Greek word
meaning “copper.”
Becoming interested in the prob
able significance of the name of the
island. Mr. Jackling made inquiries
ami learned that in ancient times cop
per mines had been operated on the
island. The site of these workings
was found and an option was taken
on them by Mr. Jackling, at whose
direction a shaft was sunk to test the
' alleged mine. During the process of
I sinking this shaft the workmen came
; in contact with hundreds of earthen
] vessels which had evidently been used
! by the primitive miners in carry out
the water from the workings. A
great many of these were broken, but
a vast number of the vessels were
found in good condition.
Working through the debris of the
equipment of the ancient mine Mr.
Jackling’s men discovered a body of
copper ore which has since been prov
en of great value, and which is at
present being mined on a very lucra
tive scale. And in honor of the mine
on the island in the Mediterranean the
private yacht which was in the chan
nel for two days last week was named
“Cyprus."

ASSEMBLY ACT VOID, IT IS HELD
JUNEAU—William A. Holzheimer
as amicus curiae, this morning filed
with Judge Robert W. Jennings,
United States District Judge, his
written brief in support of his posi
tion that the Legislature of Alaska
had no power to reduce the offense of
selling, bartering or giving intoxicat
ing liquor to Indians from a felony to 1
a misdemeanor. Mr. Holzheimer I
holds that the limitation in tho or
ganic act which specifies that “spiri
tuous nor intoxicating liquors can be
sold except under such regulations
and restrictions as Congress shall
provide,” absolutely settles the case
as far as selling liquor to Indians is
concerned, and prohibits the terri
torial Legislature from the exercise!
of any authority in the matter of the
sale of liquors to anybody. However j
the organic act does not prohibit the i
Legislature from regulating the dis
posal of liquor by gift, except as is 1
contained in the general limitation
which provides that the Territorial j
Legislature cannot enact laws “incon- j
sistent with the Constitution and the
laws of the United States.” The
United States having provided
through Congressional enactment
that the bartering and giving of in
toxicating liquors to Indians is a
felony, the pretended Territorial en
j actment is inconsistent therewith, and
j therefore invalid. He holds, further,
that Congress has never relinquished
its control over the Indians, and that
a hundred years of precedents estab

/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes —would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ

customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
