SEWARD, VLASKA. THI RSDAY, MAY 6, 1915.
No matter how our sympathies might lie all of us must admit that for
efficiency the Germans have in this war shown themselves superior. Cecil
Chesterton, the noted London editor, admitted this in a debate with George
Sylvester Yiereck, editor of the New York Fatherland, some time ago. This
efficiency may be due to that vigor which always make** itself evident in na
tions which have great awakenings. Japan has shown it and. particularly, the
I’nited States has shown it. Both seemed to acquire it with the shaking up
of great struggles. Prussia had it from Napoleonic times but it came to
all Germany with the ambition to federate all the German states. Austria
had to be defeated and France had to be defeated. Germany was rising like
a youth coming into th»» first pride of manhood's strength.
France rose at the beginning of the last century to the highest pinnacle
of power that a nation can ever reach. Great Britain followed and usurped
the first position in Europe. Each had come to the overflowing of the glass
of prosperity. There was nothing to gain beyond. There was no incentive.
They had become millionaires and the struggle was over. With the end of
that struggle came ease and peace and plenty. They grew' (at and lax in
their methods. Maybe, it needed such a war as this to save both from utter
national obesity and gout.
It may not be generally known that there are on this peninsula some
twenty quartz properties on which quite a quantity of development work has
been accomplished. In some instances this development work has been very
considerable and has shown that large bodies of good ore exist in the neigh
borhood. In numerous other places prospects have been found which warrant
the belief that we have far more important possibilities than is generally
suspected.
We have at least as much as Juneau could have shown ten years ago,
with the exception of the Treadwell, and it must always he remembered that
the Treadwell is a great mine because it is close to the sea—close to the
means of transportation. I hat is the greatest of all questions in Alaska
transportation. It is the open sesame to the wealth caves of the mountains
and streams of the whole territory. Let it be remembered that all the great
strikes made in Alaska have been near rivers. The presence of the rivers
did not cause the presence of the gold. The gold was found because the
rivers were close to get to it. There is gold in hundreds of other places hut
those places are not near the rivers. But greater than any river will be
the gov ernment trunk line. It will tap many old pay streaks on our penin
sula and it will find many IfW pay-tre.iks turther on.

ALL SAME FAIRBANKS.
NOME, April 12.—District Attor
ney Saxton attempted to stop the sale
of beer at the Kermiss on Saturday
night, and in consequence of the fail
ure of those in charge of the affair
to obey the federal official, A1 Nichol
son, the Kermiss bartender, was j
placed under arrest today on the
charge of violating tho law. The
Kermis was held unde the auspices of
the Nome Kennel club, for the purpose
of raising funds for the annual sweep- j
stakes. The voting for the Kermiss
queen netted the club $2,000, and the;
gross receipts for the evening were j
$2,350.
NOME.—-Geo. L. tanley of the Ko
buk writes that the last carrier from
Point Harrow reports the freezing to
death of two native women on the
trail. They were walking ahead of a
dog team in a blizzard, became seper
ated from the team and got lost. One
is stated to have been the prettiest
young halbreed girl born in the North.
No very stratling news from the Ko
buk. Everybody is working and the
future looks bright.
