Just now the idea of a government selling lots by auction occupies the
thoughts of people in Alaska and the question is worth thinking over. There
is no attempt made to treat the matter exhaustively or to express favor one
way or another but it will help us all to think over the matter and say what
ever we can that might direct each other’s mind into a channel that would
lead to some understanding about the whole thing. Most of us have lived
so long in Alaska that the custom of governments selling lots or any other
property is something new to us.. We have lived far away in such blissful
ignorance of such things that the government’s sudden entry on the stage
of our existence with lots for sale has been a somewhat startling denoue
ment.
To discover whether it is right or not for a government to sell tots to the
people at public auction it would be necessary, no doubt, to begin by asking
ourselves what government is. We are then brought to the thought that
when a government sells lots at public auction it means that the represent
atives of the people—the people themselves practically—are selling to parti
cular people the property of the whole people and making the parti*.ulai
people pay the highest price for it. Whether that is a better couisc thar
to give some of the people a present of the property ot the whole nation is
a question w hich must be decided by political economists or philosopheis.
The alternative to a sale by auction would be a drawing. This woulc
let some persons into some easy money but it might possibly be unfaii t<
the owners of the public domain whom the government desires to re-imburse
The government also tells us that by selling lots and inviting all comer** t(
bit! not only greater prices are secured for the property but people of mone>
are enticed into the country, ami the money obtained for the property is use<
for the development of the territory while the coming of wealth also aids ii
the development.
It would be apparently a graceful act on the part of the administiatioi
to let oldtime Alaskans have some lots or some other sort of property easib
convertible into cash but. after all, a government well conducted is a busi
ness well conducted. One of the most notable drawbacks to the idea of sell
ing government property by auction is that the government tries to gtt th*
largest prices possible and it is tempted to adopt the advertising mtthod,
found by professional real estate men to be most effective. In this respect i
government takes an unfair advantage* probably without being aware of th*
fact. It can advertise so much more effectively than a private individual am
the confidence reposed in its statements by the people is so well calculate*
to create a blind confidence in what the government agents say. The chance
are that a man w ill pay more for government property than he would for an;
other, or more than it is worth. Is that so, or is it not ?

SEWARD WINS.
(
One of the closest and most inter
esting games of the season ended last
night by victory for Seward over the [
Federal* in the last half of the last
inning by a score of 5, not out, to 4.
Both sides were even for a great part
of the game but a few errors, and in
the”most unexpected quarters, lost
the game for the foreigners near the
end. Nickerson and Manthey, and |
Carrington and Burley were the bat
tern's. The game provided lots of en
tertainment for the spectators and it
is hoped there will be more of it. An j
impression gained last night by many
is that Nickerson shows up better and
better all the time as a good all-round
man.
