SEWARD, ALASKA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, HUG.
The most remarkable item of news for Seward for
some time is the fact stated yesterday that when the Al
aska Northern line is fixed to the end the work oi con
structing new road will he proceeded with immediately be
yond. This means that the Alaska Northern is to be used
as the channel from the base of supplies and that the base
is Seward. After a few months or less when winter con
ditions set in on the waters to the northward Seward will
he the only base of supplies.
The Juneau Empire takes issue with the Gateway in
relation to an editorial in this paper which suggested that
asking applicants for citizenship papers if they would
light against their native lands in the event of war with
the I'nited States is rather a hrutal and unecessary ques
tion. The Empire, after a compliment which is appreci
ated fullv and still more fullv returned, holds that this
editorial meant that a new citizen of the United States
should not be asked to tight against his native land under
the circumstances stated, but the Gateway statement must
have been clumsily made if it conveyed that impression.
What was meant was that the asking of such a question
was unecessary. The idea of the actual fighting tor the
United States was not intended to be questioned. You
see such an idea could hardly be questioned. Aside alto
gether from the question of sentiment it would be politi
cally impossible for the United States to permit in its citi
zenship in the event of war citizens whose allegiance was
even divided, and absolutely impossible to permit in its
citizenship men who favored the cause ot the enemy.
Now, therefore, is it not unnecessary to ask the question
alluded to when the necessity has not arisen?
Perhaps the Fall is the most beautiful time in Alaska
after all. None of the other seasons can supply the same
coloring to the plains and hillsides or the same invigorat
ing atmosphere. The man who has not followed ptarmi
gans over a grassy mountain side when a million colors lie
on every hand, when there is a thin mystic haze in the val
ley and when the breeze touches like a fan has lost some
of the best that Alaska gives.

Indian known as Felix Sul, or I Hack

other natives were nearhy and heard
the shots and .ran to see what was the
trouble. They found the Indian stone
dead in a pool of his own blood. One
shot had penetrated the cheek, and

TOLSTOI CAMP IS DEAD
ONE—MAW LEAVPt
FAIRBANKS, July 17.—That the
Tolstoi camp is a dead one, front the
stampeders' point of view, is the es
sence of a letter received in Fairbanks
from Joe Bosch, the well known Circle
old timer, who stampeded to the new
diggings this spring. Pay has been
found on only two claims on Boob
creek, while Mastodon creek shows
nothing but prospects. This is practi
cally the first news received here di
rect from the new rump, all other re
ports being obtained from the lower
river newspapers.
Bosch’s letter was written at Coop
-.
or City, in the Tolstoi camp, on June
10. It says that Cooper is located
about four miles from the diggings.
Its main business houses are two
saloons, three restaurants and two
stores. Considerable freighting was
being done from Iditarod to the new
camp when the letter was written,
the Mutchler brothers having arrive*
there with a number of horses, haul
ing goods of all kinds.
There were about 200 men in the
camp at the time that the letter was
written. Mr. Uosch, however, evi
dently expected the camp to become
depopulated soon, for he writes that
many of those who stampeded to the
reported new diggings late in the
winter and early in the spring are
now leaving.—Citizen.
