SEW ARD. ALASKA, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1915.
The News-Miner of Fairbanks very properly brings District Attorney
R. F. Roth to task in a recent editorial for a very foolish communication ,
which that official sent a miner of the Koyukuk. lhe miner wrote to the
district attorney saying that for an assault case he and others had been haul*,
ed sixty miles as witnesses. In the course of his letter the miner said he
“would like to hear from” the district attorney’s office about the matter. This
was evidently the way the miner wished to le'. the district attorney know ol
the great inconvenience and expense he and others were put to but Mr. Roth
answered the communication by ignoring the apparent object ol the miner in
writing and just made some flippant remark to the effect that as the miner
expressed the wish to hear from the district attoreny s office he, the district
attorney, would tell him that the district office was in the same plate
and was all right, or some asinine words of that nature, lhe News-Miner
goes on to remind its readers that this action of the district attorney is tvpi
cal of a certain sort of people who, after kow-towing long enough to the
powers that he, succeed in securing for themselves some government job that
swells their heads.
The News-Miner is perfectly right in this. While Alaskans are striving
lor the appointment of Alaskans to federal positions in the territory it is,
regrettable that men who gain by the agitation should strive to prove thtir
own unfitness for the positions. Of course a poor miner in the farawaj ,
Koyukuk has very little influence in securing a job for anyone like Mr. Roth
and it is perfectly safe to insult him and ridicule his efforts to have justice
done to him.
At the last election but one this Mr. Roth was the champion of Martin
Harrais and the others who opposed the regular democratic candidate. Mr.
Roth e'en went the length of securing proxies which afterwards had to be
taken from him in the interests of Jennings. When he found that the regular,
democratic organization of the territory was gaining recognition at Wash
ington he executed a complete 'olte face and as a prodigal he came back to
beg for an appointment. And the word ••beg/' taken in conjuction with his
answer to the Koyukuk miner, reminds one of the old saying that il you
put a beggar on horseback he will ride to the devil.
The Alaska road fund this year has been increased to $200,000. With
that sum quite a lot of improvement will undoubtedly be accomplished. 1 he
Chairman of the Road Commission has stated that wagon roads as feeders
to the government railroad ought to be constructed and everyone "ill agree
with him. With the railroad running straight through and wagon roads to
each homestead and mine the development of the territory can he best
ad'anced.

the Indian girl who soon is to leave
under guard for Lansing, Kansas, j
where she will serve fifteen years forj
the slaying of R. D. Raker, was an
animated shopper down town yester
day afternoon. It was the first time
since her arrest for Raker’s murder
that she has traversed the highways .
and byways of the city. She was ac-i
companied on her tour of the shops
by Jack McDonald, warden at the
federal jail, and in addition to pur
chasing her clothing, the government
saw to it that Alice had candy and
fruits.
The woman is still in a cheerful
frame of mind. Since her sentence
she has been studying Christianity.
She said that her destinies are now
in the hands of the Lord.

inside Alaska are now anxious to get
any news they can of the place where
the government railroad will be. To
