SEN \RD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, Al GI ST 13, 1915.
One of the greatest faults of many men who enter public life in all
grades is that they substitute oratorical blatancy for work. The man who
makes a long winded, gallery-catching speech gets the votes while the silent
worker, the thorough man who is too busy to give his tongue license, is for
gotten. If some of the men who secure the votes of the people would only
study the requirements of their positions, learn how best they might bring
benefits to their constituents we might have less incompetency.
Only one week intervenes between the present and the day for the turn
ing over of the Alaska Northern. It looks like a period of the dim anil distant
past since we were looking forward to the selection of the terminal, or even
to the first of July when we thought our road was to become part of the
great government system. Is there anything else to dash that old cup from
our lips?
To the pioneers of Ala ka it sounds rather funny to hoar warnings given
to people to keep away from the territory. What harm in the woild would
it do if a lot of young men did come here and did go broke? Why, in the
old days men faced the Alaska wilderness when it was something to face.
They went broke. Men went broke who never knew before what the word
broke meant, and they dug their way out and made men of themselves by do
ing it. There may be men who might come here lacking the grit to face the
music. If there are,-keep them out. I* or their own sake and the sake of
Alaska keep them out. But let the others come on. Alaska needs them and
will help them to take care of themselves.

There is something peculiar in the manner in which the war news filters
in from the outride. One day Warsaw seems to have fallen and the next
day fighting is taking place at points which arc so close to the city that its
fall would surely entail their evacuation. Indeed, except in a roundabout w ay,
we have never had it stated that Warsaw had actually fallen. London re
ports one day that Riga had fallen and about the following day Petrograd
speaks of fighting there in a manner that suggests that the city still stands.
Everyhing depends on the point of view*. There is no such thing as fact.

HALF MILLION IN OIL
IS LOST BY LIGHTNING.
TULSA, August 11.—Half a mil- j
lion dollars worth of oil was destroy
ed here yesterday when lightning
struck the oil tanks and set them
afire. The blaze was seen for miles

CIRCES SWEPT AWAY.
CLINTON, Iowa, August 12.—A
cloudburst which occurred here today
has covered the streets of the busi
ness district with four feet of water.
A circus which had arrived here to

DRILLING ON KENAI
RIVER COMPLETED.
Engineer Newsome Declines to Say
What the Result of the
Test Has Been.
The drilling on Kenai river has
been completed and Engineer J. F. j
Newsome will leave with Engineer j
T. W. Mack on the Evans for Cor
dova. Mr. Newsome, of course, de- :
dines to say what his verdict will be
as a result of the test of the gravels
of that stream. It is a matter of gen
eral knowledge that he represents the
Guggenheims and that the Alaska
Syndicate was the capital at the back
of the prospecting.

"Avoid Alaska as the plague,’
echoed Senator Harry Lane, "it’i

spoiled your face generally, and drop
ped so that people couldn't see tha

"Thousands and thousands of let

' in Alaska on the new railroad," say,
Lane. "The people should know tha
j the safest thing to do is to kee|
j away from there for a few years
There are more than enough men ii
; Alaska now for any work. Th
crews which have been used the pas
year will be retained, and, anyway
j there will be a disposition to give Al

"It is folly for people to go to Al
