There are actually people residing in this town at present who do not re
member that the Engineering commission has not yet received the two million
dollars appropriated by congress and that the Alaska Northern railroad has
not been transferred to the government. Most people outside of Seward
know little or nothing about those conditions and, naturally, they jump to the
conclusion that because work is not being done on this road Seward is being
passed up. Let us all remember that the two million appropriated will not
be due until the end of this month and that the railroad has not been trans
ferred. To work on this railroad at present would place the United States
administration and engineering commission in the position of men who went
to work on the propett\ of others and without money in hand to pay as they
go along.

In the British islands when a judge holds court at which no criminal
cases come before him there is a pretty custom in vogue, which is to present
the judge with w hite gloves, li might not be a bad idea to follow this custom
during the present session presided over by Judge Brown. It might help to
convey to the outer world the real truth about the people of Alaska. Of course,
the term is given over to equity cases but if there is any criminal under ar
rest in the district tributary to Seward his name has been forgotten.
It would be difficult to say what the result will be of the resignation of
Bryan from the cabinet. He and President Wilson, we are told, spoke in the
most friendly manner of each other in the letters exchanged but very little
reliance could be placed on friendly expressions under the circumstances.
Neither for the sake of appearances could do otherwise.
The difficulty between the president and his secretary of state most
probably is that Bryan did not like playing second fiddle in an orchestra of
which he came so near being the leader. No doubt he strove to be loyal to
Wilson but human nature will assert itself . A man who thinks he ought to
have ow ned the store can hardly be satisfied to work in it as a clerk.

RELATIVES IN WAR.
Although Father Monroe, of the
Catholic church in this city, has
known for some time that a number
of his relatives are engaged in the
European war he was not apprised
until he received a recent letter, as to
just where they were and what they
were doing. The recently-received
letter was from his brother. Col James
Monroe, chief of staff of the Third
Division of the French army.
Col. Monroe has been in the thick of
the fighting in the vicinity of Arras
and writes that the carnage has been
something awful to look upon. He
also writes that one of his sons has
been killed in the fighting and five
nephews, ail of those slain being
nephews to the local ecclesiastic.—

FULL SWING NOW.
Flans Afoot to Dredge Miles of
Country Including Hope
Townsite.
The mining season in the Hope and
Sunrise districts is now’ in full swing
and has opened not only in a greater,
volume this year but also with the
promise that far greater operations
art' about to be inaugurated. Dr. E. |
R. Brooks, who returned yesterday
after a trip over that section, heard
while in Hope that a company is now;
being formed to dredge the ground on
which the townsite stands. The
ground in question is a vast body of
gold bearing gravel that extends for
about three miles, tlus Seilfert has
started sluicing on Bear creek, and
Herron’s dredge was expected start
work yesterday, Wednesday. Mat
tisons are also working on Bear creek
ami some others. Nate White is
hydraulicking near his roadhouse and
employs four men.
NOME.—Tony Ring, the well
known miner, suffered a painful in
jury while working on the Schmidling
claim on Dexter hUl yesterday. While
hoisting a man from the shaft Ring’s
foot slipped loosing his hold on the j
handle of the windlass which swung
rapidly back striking Tony a severe
blow in the face, breaking his nose
and severely cutting his lips. Al-1
though dazed from the fearful blow;
Tony had the presence of mind to
cling to the handle thus preventing
the man on the rope from being pre
cipated thirty feet to the bottom of
the shaft. Dr. Mustard dressed the
wounds of the injured man and he will
soon be in good shape again.
