SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915.
At the banquet in the Arctic Club recently Chairman Edes of the Engi
neering Commission stated that the shipping of coal from the Matanuska
will begin in 1917. Three weeks from now we shall have 1916. Surely things
are moving.
Somehow that Machiavellian conspiracy of the Guggenheims has failed
and the administration is asking for the money to go on with the railroad
building not only at this end but away at the other end. This is due to John
Ballaine and his faithful henchmen and hired help and Alaska can never
thank them too much. Were it not for them Anchorage and Seward would
now be deserted and the Copper Kiver railroad bought. Let us thank heaven
for the almost superhuman prescience that permitted those saviors of ours
to penetrate the villainy of the plotters and nip the foul conspiracy in the
bud.
Speaking about this conspiracy and after paying its compliments to
Ballaine and his puppets the Juneau Dispatch of November 27 says:
“There is enough room in Alaska for the government railroad from
Seward to the Matanuska coal fields. to the Tanana and finally to the Kusko
kwim and Iditurod. and for the Copper River £ Northwestern to the Bering
River coal fields, and to the Matanuska. if it wants to build there, and also
to the Tanana and the head of White river, and for the government overland
trail from Valdez to Fairbanks, or even a railroad from Valdez to the in
terior. without fighting each other and trumping up charges and imagining
all sorts of conspiracies. To rush into print with unsupported charges, on the
least suspicion, only cheapens us in the eyes of the people outside who really
want to do something for Alaska.”
It has been suggested that the attention of Washington ought to be
drawn to the fact that an appropriation for mining explorations and develop
ment should be the next upw ard step in the work of opening Alaska. Millions
of dollars have been spent in agricultural experiments, and that is something
which the territory should be thankful for. but mining, Alaska’s chief re
source, is cerainly worth some attention. The estimates just submitted in
clude $100,000 for further investigations into mineral resources but that
probably means nothing but for geological survey work, and with all respect
it may be recalled to mind that all the geologists that ever came to Alaska
never discovered one hole or .-haft that carried pay. Geologists usually follow
the prospector; they never help him. except in what might be tailed an
academic way. In the Yukon territory the Canadian government helps the
prospector out into the hills anti supplies at least one as.-aj oflke.

POLITICAL NOTES
This can be accepted as a positive
certainty; George B. Grigsby of Nome
will be nominated by the Democrats
as the candidate of the party for dele
gate to congress.
W. A. Gilmore who will be here
next March as a delegate to the Re
publican convention is Grigsby's
closest friend. Grigsby would prob
ably poll as large a vote in Nome us
Gilmore did.
An effort is sure to be made soon
to have a Republican National Com
mitteemun other than the present
man who is said to be too closely al
lien! to shackleford. He is in Shack
leford's office.
A big fight may be expected on
the proposal to take Wickersham back
into the G. 0. P. but there is already
I talk of compromising by running
some other Wickersham man as the
regular Republican candidate. Dan
Sutherland would probably be chosen
Mr. Sutherland is now mining success
fully on Boorman creek near Ruby.
LLOYDS IS BETTING
STRONG ON THE WAR
LONDON, Dec. 2.—(Special to
Gateway)—Lloyd’s today is offering
tho risk of .’l to 1 that Ferdinand, king
of Bulgaria, will not be on his throne
June 1, 1916. The risk started at 20
to 1, but the turn of affairs in the
Balkans drove it down.
Most persons who have taken out
policies on the Bulgarian’s head are
Englishmen with business interests in
the Balkans and Bulgaria. Their
losses will be great if Ferdinand re
tains his throne and they are prepar
ing for the minimum loss.
On the duration of the war Lloyd’s
offers 10 to 1 that it will no*, last be
yond December, 1916. A new risk
something like their Ester insurance
against rain on new bonnets is ‘ho
one wherein the soldier bets with
Lloyd’s that he will not be killed.
This risk, 8 to 1 against Death, is
said to heavily patronized.

The Joys and Clothes
| of Yuletide 4
..........mm.. ..MM.Ml
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.

makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so'modem in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

I_ {
[Crabtree farm, near Chicago, w«» the
scene of unusual activity when Mrs.
Scott Durand, a wealthy woman whose
fad Is the raising of blooded cattle,
learned that State Veterinarian Dyson
and his men were planning to kill her
herd of prize cattle. Mrs. Durand armed
the farm employees. "1 shall shoot the
first person who attempts to harm any
of my cattle,” she declared. ”1 have a
revolver of my own, and I Intend to
use It. I have been Informed that the
state Inspectors are planning to Invade
my farm. When they arrive they will
find me prepart'd. Attorney General Lu

molested until a commission had exam

going to disregard this promise. There
has not been a trace of the foot and

since last September.” Mrs. Durand con
