Entered as second class matter at the postoflice, Seward, Alaska.
SINCK the telegram of Saturday stating that the president advises the
appropriation of fifteen million dollars for the continuation of works already
begun it removes a doubt that had
MONEY FOR THE RAILROAD come into the minds of lots of people
in this district and all over Alaska
although very few gave expression to it. The work on the Alaska railroad
could be commenced with a small fraction of that amount and indeed the
amount that could be .-pent for the construction of a considerable lot of the
road, the first year's work, would be nothing like the full amount—perhaps
not a quarter of the full amount.
The chances are that if only a part of the full sum can be put in immedi
ate use it will be one more reason why the building of the road ought to be
begun from this end, and to the coal fields.
A very great effort is now being put forward by the cities on the coast in
Alaska and the Pacific states to hasten the building of the road to the coal.
Seward is. perhaps, the only city which has an elected body that takes no
interest in the matter and makes no effort to aid Seward or any of the people
of Seward unless, perchance, the people aided are members of the body them
selves or closely allied to them in politics or person.
THE REFUSAL of the powers to listen at present to the proposals of
peace made by President Wilson can easily be understood. For many years
all of those powers have been watching each other and preparing to such an
extent for the inevitable conflict that they were increasing their armaments
and raising more money for the purpose than their people could afford. It
has been well known that the race for powerful armies and navies was be
ginning to exhaust those interested and there was only one waj out of j
the difficulty—war.
Some time ago Winston Churchill, first lord of the British admiralty, sug
gested that Germany and Great Britain should quit increasing their navies
but Germany ridiculed the idea. It has long been a doctrine of the British
government that Britain should have what they call the two power naval
standard—that is that the navy of Great Britain should bo as great as or
greater than the navies of any other two powers combined. To this Ger
many would never consent and so the beggaring contest went on. Even
years ago some British people thought that Germany should not be per
mitted to continue and Germany undoubtedly was preparing for what they
called “the day".
So. war came and it must be fought to the bitter end. The powers can
not afford to keep up the preparations and there is only one outlet and that
i« the utter weakening of one side so that the race for powerful armaments
will be left to the other, and a one-sided contest is something that does not
exist.

George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of me Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you

■odium of the press.
1 desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, 1 SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
▼ote.
I ans solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
. OF THE NORTHLAND
Arthur Thompson, a well-known at
. torney of Katalla, who has been in
Juneau most of the summer, will leave
on the Evans for Yakutat beach to
mine claims in which he is interested
along the beach. He will be aceom
- panied by A. Engberg and Fred Bliss.
They will take their outfits from this*
place.
Mr. Thompson has worked the
sands in that section for years. Sev
- oral years ago he and his father had
a sawmill on the ground and sawed
all their own sluice lumber. They
v have large holdings back on the sec
y ond third beach line which have never
[\ been fully worked owing to natural
e difficulties in the way. Every season
miners secure considerable gold from
;i
the beach sands. After each heavy
* storm a new layer of gold is deposited
e inside the tide line.
p Mr. Thompson believes that the dis
trict will some day produce a large
s output in mineral.
Jack Trice, a well-known Fairbanks
mining man who returned to that
1 place recently from Shisana, says the
story of a $60,000 gold robbery in the
Chisana district from Fletcher T.
Hamshaw’s company which was given
1 out at Dawson, is false.
) From returns supplied by a grower,
H. D. Lenhart, at Mile 87 on the
L' Skeena river, one acre and a half of
- strawberries has to date produced
$700, the strawberries selling at an
average ftfice of $2.50 to $3.50 per
crate, and at least a quarter of the
f crop still remains. In adidtion to the
product realized upon, some $150
worth of the fruit has been lost for
1 lack of shipping facilities.
t Douglas, Sept. 7.—Two white men
- and a native woman are dead as the
f result of a double murder and suicide
which took place at a late hour last
night. The dead are Mrs. Lucy Hun
facker, Ed Hunfacker and Emile Se
- necle, better known as Frenchy, who
has been employed at the Canteen bar
as bartender on the night shift. The
cause was jealousy.
