SEWARD. ALASKA. MONDAY, SEPT. 25. 10Hi.
The Cordova rimes draws attention to the fact that
political candidates seem to expect newspapers to boost
their candidacy for nothing. Men of all political parties
have a system of sending to all the newspapers glowing ac
counts of their campaigns. They just use the newspapers
as if the papers had nothing to do but give their space
free of charge. Sometimes, indeed, candidates send mes
sages to papers which are no earthly use as news. They
are just boosting recitals which are very often far re
moved from gospel truth and they actually make the pap
ers to which they are sent pay for them. Lawyers are re
markable for their political candidacy in all elections but
a lawyer would not be expected to give his time tor noth
ing. so why should they expect more from newspapers
than they themselves are prepared to give. It is all very
well to say that newspapers lose nothing by giving a little
space but no one would have the gall to say that newspap
ers are just published to keep from “losing nothing.'
When the Engineering Commission buys local farm
produce and gives contracts for supplies to local mer
chants it is taking one tine forward step. Put money in
the country around the railroad and you put money where
railroad will have a chance to get some back. There
s all the difference in the world between a railroad that
runs through unpeopled territory and a railroad that runs
through a settled land.
In passing through Cordova on his way outside re
cently Attorney -J. C. Cotton of the Engineering Commis
sion exhorted Alaskans to stand bv the Commission and
the railroad. He said that nothing could be accomplished
except by unity of action. The people and the Commission
ought to both take this exhortation to heart. Be mutu
ally friendly and helpful. Let not little things irritate
either side. The people and the Commission are two sep
arate entities and it is impossible to avoid little criticisms
and frictions, but, after all, the big fact that should be
kept in sight is that the United States government has
started to open Alaska and is building this railroad for
that purpose.

ANGORA GOATS ARE
WILD IN THE HILLS
A small angora goat herd is wild in
the mountains sloping on Salmon
crook. They were purchased by
Charles Rudy and later turned over to
Louis Lund. They became such a nui
sance about the latter’s place, insist
ing in coming into the house and get
ting into so much mishchief that they
were driven away.
Some of them have been seen at
different times by prospectors and are
as wild as the wild mountain sheep.
Immense herds of angora goats could
he maintained in Southeastern Alaska
as the plant and bush life furnish
their natural forage.—Juneau Dis
