SEWARD, ALASKA, THl’RSI)AY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1015.
Men who are quite certain that they have made really rich gold discov
eries in Alaska are very slow to advertise the fact until they are also quite
certain that their title to the property is “cinched.” The chief reason for this
is that some people are always lying in wait to bring a lawsuit and try to
blackmail the lucky discoverer on the threat of taking the ground or, at
least, clouding thy title. It is a peculiar fact, and one worth noting, that
not one in a hundred of the stories of "great strikes” published in the Alaska
newspapers in the pa^t have materialized. This, of course, is not always the
fault of the newspapers, but it sometimes is. There are times—like the
Duncan and Griggs case at Nome, which is a vivid example—when news
papers are made victims of men who want to defraud the public, but there
are also times when weak newspapers, in order to till space for which real
news cannot be secured, boost some fake strike to the utter disregard of the
rights of the people who buy the paper and the public generally. It has been
an old “joke” in Alaska newspaper offices of a certain kind that when the
cables are out of commission is the time to “make strikes.” Alaska has
suffered from this practise and it would be far better for the territory if it
never had a newspaper than to have ones of the calibre indicated. Advertis
ing in a legitimate manner the actual resources of a district is a totally diff
erent matter. When a paper is sure of its facts and knows that the truth of
its statements will be borne out on investigation it should do all in its power
to let those facts be known. Nowadays only simpletons accept as gospel
truth what they see in print. In the vast majority of cases the motto of
monied interests is “investigation before investment,” and when investiga
tion proves the tales of a country’s resources exaggerated money flees.
Just one year ago this month the great battle of the Marne was fought
and the Germans were driven back to the line of the river Aisne. During
all that year the two armies have faced each other and now on the twelve
month another great drive is launched. The reading of the story of the bat
tle of the Marne, one year after its occurrence, is, or ought to be of tremend
*
ous interest.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2D.—The news
from Serbia that the American medi
cal mission has absolutely wiped out
the typhus scourge, was welcomed
as great news by Col. Jevrera J. Pop

| campaign, has come to be known as
“The Messiah" among the masf.es of
the people, said the colonel.
“The climax of respect, ‘the noble
Amercian," is the title they give
him," said Col Popovich. “He be
came a real popular hero when he
remained in Belgrade, even after the
Austrians had begun to introduce
I
their well known ‘kultur’ into the
Serbian capital. Many stories are
told of how he protected weak, sick
and wounded citizens from intoxicated
soldiers. He alone once prevented a
hospital of which he had taken charge
from being stormed at the point of
the bayonet. He was truly the
guardian angel of our wounded and
sick, aged women and infants left
behind when the capital was
I evacuated."
