SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 19HL
The Gateway yesterday got a telegraphic message
from a Wiekershamito paper saying that Wickersham is
no \ six votes in the lead in the territory. The paper send
ing the message has less means of knowing the exact iig
mvs than this paper, and actually admitted some time ago
that it know less, so the Gateway believed the statement
as to how the candidates stand was merely a guess and
it was not published. There are no two newspapers in
the territory today that have exactly the same figures.
This is due to mix-ups of various kinds, particularly to
ligur.es being transmitted erringly over the lines, and we
must now wait for the official figures from the secretary
to tile territory or from the clerks of court of the differ
ent divisions. Our own Rristol hay is now, perhaps, the
pivotal precinct.
Since the beginning of the war nearly fifteen hundred
ships have been sunk by Germany. If the average length
of each of those ships was slightly over three hundred
feet it would mean that if they were placed end to end
they would form an uni roken line from Seward to the
end of tiie Alaska Northern railroad and almost into An
chorage. W hen you travel the railroad next time mark
elf each two hundred and fifty feet to the end of the line
and call it a ship, and you will get an idea of the destruc
tion caused by one phase of the war alone. If those lost
ships were alloat they would bridge the English channel
I l orn England to France four times.
Kt t p your eyes open for the first sign of the lengthen
ing davs. Perhaps within a week volt will suddenly real*
ize that another Spring is approaching. It may not he
coming like an express train but it is coming, haybe, a*
fast as our own local fliers. It is coming, anyhow. I). G.
-lust at present Juneau people say the mines down
there are short of labor because miners can get better
wages outside. The wages in the mines around Juneau
are about two and a half a day and board and in Montana
and Arizona wages of five and six dollars a day can be
secured in the copper mines. Alaska will last about as
long as the proverbial snowball in the proverbial lower
regions if this kind of thing continues. If Alaska is to be
developed by lower wages than can he secured outside it
will have to be developed by people who do not come un
der the category of “white.”
