Recently a publication outside gave a lot of space to the strike in the
Broad Pass hut it was noticeable that some so-called mining journals tried
to belittle it. They were *o beautifully anxious to keep false news from going
abroad. One publication which is sup posts! to be eminent in its field went
so far as to sa\ that reporters are often so anxious to get a good story that
the tales of strikes in Alaska should be taken with a grain of salt, or words
to that effect. This journal is published in one of the big cities in the east.
The man who wrote that deep warning to the people of the l nited States was
thousands of miles away from the scene of the strike. 1 he same publication
has paid this paper the compliment of copying its dope now and again, but
why would our contemporary get so mighty wise all at once as to condemn
by inuendo a strike of which it had no chance whatever to know anything
about ?
If papers did not take what the men on the spot said to be true there
would never he any news. Of course, false information comes often to news
papers. It is impossible to avoid it, but the public knows that fact very well
without having a mining journal go out of its wav to say that people should
be chary of accepting the story of the Broad Pass. It can be said at least that
the Broad Pass offers a splendid field for capitalists to try their fortune but
when journals whose very raison d' etre is to dev elope mining country, try
to prevent capital from becoming interested in a new mining region they are
doing nothing but defeating the only end that makes their existence valuable.
Seward is the one place all along the coast which offers no drawback
as a terminal for the government railroad. It is not like those places which
have only a few hundred acres of glacier surrounded spots on which to build
a great terminal for a transcontinental system and a city adequate for the
♦
purpose. It has a harbor which offers all the requirements and which is never
prevented by ice from being a perfect place to land while giving absolute
shelter for any kind of a ship afloat. The country around the city is not one
mass of beetling cliffs for miles and miles in extent where nothing could be
grown but ferns and nothing could gain sustenance unless a rabbit or a
mountain sheep.
From time to time from now on we shall hear all kinds of rumors about
the location of the government terminal but if we pay any attention to them
we shall always he kept jumping. The railroad commissioners can not only
not tell where the terminal will he but they may not be more than asked for an
opinion like any other individual wha knows the territory. Of course if
they condemn any route from an engineering standpoint they will be very
closely listened to .but when it comes to telling the resources of any section
or any proposed route they know no more about it than anybody else, and
those who have been engaged in those particular districts for many years
in mining or agricultural pursuits probably known much more.
The commission is composed of three intelligent men and men who
know just exactly what their duties are. They have told us over and over
again that their duty is simply to report to the president so that we need pay
no attention to rumors such as that sprung a few days ago.
WAR MAPS SHOW
ALL OBSTACLES
A EUROPEAN OFFICER KNOWS
MORE ABOUT A FIELD THAN
THE OWNER OF IT.
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—To the
wonderfully complete maps of the
European war zones, prepared by the
war offices of the belligerents, Amer
ican army officers owe the detailed
study they are able to make of the
troop movements in Belgium and
France and to some extent, upon the
Austria-Russian, and German-Russian
frontiers. When despatches give the
names of villages around which fight
ing is in progress, it is possible to turn
to these maps and at a glance the
character of the country, its roads and
byways with details of their construct
ion and even to note the nature of the
soil on slopes where the men will have
to “dig in” to withstand the storm of
rifle, machine-gun and field-piece Are.
There are yet no such maps of this
country. The European maps arc the
product of years of toil in preparation
for war and those used by general
Joffre, the French commander-in-chicf,
General French, the English leader,
and the German chieftains undoubted
, ly are far more complete than any
other foreign governments have been
I able to obtain showing the regions
now torn by war.
With such maps at his disposal a
commander can be far in the rear of
his long battle line and yet know from
moment to moment the exact nature
of obstacles in any portion of the
front he is facing. He could direct the
places of intrenchments to within a
few yards of any small detail or bat
i tery of guns and could order forward
his heavy’ artillery along a certain
road with entire confidence that the
: road would carry the huge weight.
There is no trail or bypath, ditch or
! stone fence that is not shown.
For nearly fifteen years the United
States army has been struggling in a
modest way to supplement its maps
of this country so they would offer, to
a very modest degree at least, the aid
to military operations which European
commanders have at hand. The work
is known as the Progressive Military’
Map of the United States and officers
are assigned to carry forward in var
ious parts of the country' each year.
A dual purpose is served by the as
signment since the officers are given
practical training in map making
which would be invaluable to them in
case of war.
The progress of fifteen years on the
huge task is described by army officers

as “insignificant,” outside of its edu
cational value. To obtain adequate
maps for military covering every pos
sible theatre of war in this country
would mean tho expenditure of enor
mous sums of money and no provision
for such an achiovment ever has been
made. The work is being carried for
ward, however, as fully as is possible
under the circumstances, and when
over officers are available they go out
to gather data to be added to war do- i
