TICKLED WITH
BUNNELL'S JOB
ORGAN OFJCNEAl DEMOCRATS
SAYS WILSON STI CK
TO PARTY.
That the appointment of Charles E.
Bunnell to the district bench in the
Fourth division has tickled the of
ficial circle of Alaskan democrats is
made apparent by an editorial in the
Juneau Daily Empire which was
formerly Governor Strong’s paper
and which is the official organ, so to
speaks, of the heads of the democratic
party in the capital. The paper ex
presses tiie belief that the appoint
ment means that President Wilson in
fact as well as every other way is on
the side of the regular democrats in
the territory.
“While the position to which he has
been appointed is in no sense politi
cal" says the Empire “and while Mr. j
Bunnells other qualifications gave
him claim to the honor that has come
to him, it is pleasant to know that
while the president was serving the
public interest he bestowed a prompt
and suitable reward for faithful party
work.”
In another place the Empire says;'
“It is gratifying to know that the;
administration responded to the re-,
commendations of Alaskans promptly
and without quibble.”
TO HAY E AMATEl'R NIGHT.
The first amateur night will be
given at the Casino next Friday. Bert
Strathcona and a company of three
will present “ Fun in a dental parlor”
which will have a local dental parlor
atmosphere. The two Revel 1 boys will
box and various other most amusing
stunts will be brought off.
Visiting cards, invitations, anything
pretty i * done by the Gateway just as
well as outside.

CORDOVA WORKING HARD
FOR RAILROAD.
A column and a quarter of the Post
Intelligence of December 30 is given
to an account of the work being done,
by Cordova to get the railroad. It is
evident from the story that our neigh-,
bor is working with real determina-j
tion and in a most intelligent manner.
This is how the P. I. Washington cor
respondent says the Cordova people
worked;
“In response to a request the Cor
dova chamber of commerce prepared
for the Alaska railway commission a
report in great detail. It organized
its work on the modern “efficiency
expert” lines. It sent out blanks to
the miners and producers in the ter
ritory adjacent, asking them to fill in
the statistical data.” Has Seward
been lax in this respect?

(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Jan. 9.—Describing the
capture of a line of trenches in the
north, a non-commissioned officer
writes home of an unusual piece of
strategy.
“The evening before there had been
a heavy fall of snow" he said, “and
the bright moonlight showed up every
object with extraordinary clearness
against the white background. The
126th infantry which had planned a
raid on the enemy's trenches, only 20
yards away, found its project com
promised, but a corporal was struck
by a brilliant idea; every man pulled
ofT his outer clothes and pulled his
shirt on over jacket and rest; thus
they crept through the snow up to the
edge of the German trenches without
being seen, and carried the entire
line.”
