SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1«D6.
Anchorage us now organizing for the purpose of keeping up wages and
we are told that conservative methods will be used. Conservatively conducted
labor organizations have done immense good in the cause 01 civilization
ami every man who is worth the name hopes to see the day when the humbl
, ,„t worker w ill get an even break, will have the time and thetnoans to keep
a comfortable home. Kor Alaska and tor Alaskuns of all classes and callings
-mail wages would mean the end. High wages have made the territory and
tow wages would kill it like a plague. In the future it is hoped that em
ployers. the government included, and the wage workers will be able to ar
rive at a happy agreement. No country in the universe ever suffered by
being generous to the under-dog.

Is it good form to express thank* after having been entertained at the
house of a friend? Does not common sense suggest that no thanks are due—
that the pleasure has been mutual, or at least, is supposed to have been
mutual? You can hardly imagine a dinner guest in a royal palace turn'ng
hack to the queen-hostess and saying "thank you very much for your nic.?
*:inner. Twas the finest dinner I ever had in my life since 1 lost my colored
, ,)ok ." And. after all. the manners of the plebs are or ought to be based on
those of princes, l.et some local arbiter elegantiarum get to work on this.
t
Newspapers are often asked w hy they don’t invite the public to express
.i.-, various opinion.-* in letters to the papers. Any newspaper would be glad to
receive a communication that .s worth publishing but the real truth is that
the man who makes a habit of writing to papers is usually the least intelli
gent and leas; enlightened person at large. That’s a positive fact; Open
your columns to ail and the best authorities are the very ones who will never
;se them. There i.-* a psychological reason or two for this and it might ex
ercise your m.nd for a few minutes to think it out for yourself.
Seventy-two below zero is the coldest that any thermometer has been
known to register in A uAn since the discovery of the Klondyke, and even
that chil’y stage is believed to be due rather to the thermometer itself than
the climate. Temperature* o ' close to 70 below have frequently been reached,
and while speaking of it ami remembering our sad plight now when the
>tove isn’t drawing well am! the water for washing is not quite hot enough
it may be wort!, remembering that in the good old days hundreds of fellows
slept in tents when the meveurv clung to fifty and sixty with a sort of warm
affection and persistency.
BELIEVED FAIRBANKS
POSTMASTER CROOKED
FAIRBANKS. Jan. £».—Postmast
er Deal made a personal attack on
the editor of the Citizen Monday
night in the foyer of the theatre here,
but they were separated before
damage was done. The attack was
the result of an editorial in the Citi
zen on Monday, which stated that the
recent appointment of J. M. Harris as
Tolovana mail carrier savoured of
crookedness because the appointment
was made without a call for competi
tive bids. Many were prepared to
bid. including Ringseth, the stage and j
express man. but they were given no !
choice.
MAY RACE BOTH WAYS
If the match between Kosmos of I
Seward and Christensen of Anchorage
is brought oil it has been suggested
that to make matters even each man;
could start from his own town anti ■
finish there. Kosmos would start
from Seward and return there whils
Christensen would start from An
11 horage at the same time. The Sew
ard man is ready, Anchorage. Trot
out your champ.
Two Deaths Occur
Among Sanak Folks
' Children Go to School There in Jan
uary With Bare Feet.
SANAK, Jan. 10.—(Special Corres
pondence)—Mrs. Fannie Porter, an
old resident of this island died at her
home in Pauloff a short time ago.
Mrs.Porter has long been known as
“the mother of Sanak” and besides
her husband, an adopted daughter
and a number of other relatives, she
leaves a host of friends to mourn her
loss.
All the children and many of the
grown people of the island have been
suffering from whooping cough. So
far there has been but one death, that
of the infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Koso.
The Allen A of the Alaska Cod-fish
Co., and the Golden State of the
Union Fish Co. both sailed for San
Francisco in December with the sum
mer’s pack of cod-fish. The Allen A
carried out the October and November
mails as our “regular” weakly mail
boat failed to make Sanak for either
mail.
This community was deeply shock
ed to learn of the suicide of the Rev.
A. Kedrovski in New York the day
before he ami his family were to sail
for Russia. The family spent the
summer on Sanak and the priest, who
had been ordered home, often ex
pressed great fear of going to Europe
at this time. It is thought that his
mind was slightly unbalanced even be
fore he left Sanak.
The Nielsen trapping party return
ed on January 1st, with seventy-five
fox skins to their credit—a pretty
good showing considering the short
time they were gone. E. Mobeck,
Geo. Fergussen, Charlie Wolf, and
others have not come in yet.
Sanak celebrated Christmas with a
“home made” Christmas tree and
other home made attractions that did
not come on the “safe, fast, reliable
and comfortable little boat” that is
carrying our mail and freight. It
will take more than the non appear
ance of the Dora to down Sanak.
So far this winter the weather has|
been grand. With the exception of;
a short tin^e about the first of Decem
ber there has been neither ice nor
snow. Not a pound of feed has been
necessary for the cattle up to the
present. How is that for “frozen,
Alaska?”
Jan. 11.—Opened this to report that
today part of the children came to
school barefoot. Not from lack of
shoes, for every person in this village
is in comfortable circumstances, but
because the weather is such that they
i can dispense with shoes.
