SKM \\l\\ ALASKA, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1915.
When the mind is let dwell on any particular expectation the expectation
becomes a hope ami finally becomes a strong desire, the failure to attain
which hurts according to the intensity of the hope which had come to be
harbored.
Just now* all of us here hope for much. The day is approaching when
the Alaska Northern railroad will be transferred to the government. The
day is, indeed, next Monday. Let us hope that it will mark the beginning of
great thing*? but let us not hope too much for the present. The reaction
caused by disappointment would not be pleasant
We cannot say that we have been led wilfully by anyone to expect much,
but we have been led by what may be described as unconscious agencies to
expect something too quickly. Of course, we have received promises which
were not fulfilled. It would have been just as easy to tell us when we asked
that we could not look forward to a granting of the requests but it was
probably through a friendly feeling that we were led on to expect too much.
Some time ago the governor anil others were told, for instance, that
Ala kans would receive the real benefits of the railroad construction work
but, alas, this seems to be impossible.
The entry of Anchorage into the field is in many ways like the coming
of a rival. Some time ago Seward seemed to be the favorite but the newcom
er now appears and receives attentions that are most flattering. At least
the mention of it.- name by the government agents looks to us like a sug
gestion of favoritism. Let us hope it is not jealousy. Jealousy is ridiculous.
Let us forget it ail and go to work. We shall soon find lots of consolation
if we direct our efforts and our thoughts into other channels.
RODEN WITHHOLDS
TOLOVANA VERDICT.
RUBY.—Replying to the questions
asked after his arrival from Fair
banks, Henry Roden said it was too
early yet to pronounce judgment on
the Tolovana. He did not visit the
district himself, but conversed with
numerous people from there. He said
opinion is about equally divided as to
whether or not the camp will make
good, but it is agreed that no pav
streak has so far been developed. E.
J. Ives, associate of Price and Manley,
has secured options there and seems
to think well of the country.
CONVICTS CLIMB 800 FEET.
LEAVENWORTH, June 27.—Two
convicts performed what is probably
the most amazing feat on record here
yesterday. They were working in the
coal mine and climbed up the sides
of an eight hundred foot shaft, mak
ing their escape. They had been only
carelessly guarded as the officers be
lieved the task of climbing out im
possible. The two men are still at
large.
CAME EARLIER THAN EXPECTED
(San Francisco Mining ami Scientific
Press.)
Frederick \Y. Seward, who died on
April 25, was assistant secretary' of
state in the cabinet of Abraham
Lincoln. He was the son of William
H. Seward, who, when Secretary of
State, in 1867, arranged the purchase
of Alaska from Russia for the sum of
$7,200,000, of which $200,000 was paid
for the property of the Russian
company at Sitka. To Seward also
the new territory owes its name. At
the time of the purchase he was
severely criticised, but he had been in
the North and knew what he was do
ing. “What. Mr. Seward,” asked a
friend, “do you consider the most im
portant measure of your political
career?” “The purchase of Alaska,”
he replied, “but it will take the people
a generation to find it out.” He was
justified long before another genera
tion had come and gone. It was an
act of far-seeing statesmanship.

NED WILLIAMS DIES
ON THE MARIPOSA.
Bond Divine received a cablegram
yesterday telling that Ned Williams
had diet! on the Mariposa on its last!
trip out from Seward. No further in
formation was given. Mr. Williams
had been engaged i.i the Palace for
some time but recently was attacked
by Diabetes which was so severe he
decided to go out and he took ship,
last week. Mr. Williams was an old- j
timer in Alaska, having come in ‘97
and had been in Seward about two
and a half months. A sister and
brother are known to survive him.
The former lives at McMinnville,
Oregon, and the latter at Bellingham,
Washington.
