SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, JANUARY 10, 1916.
It is strange that a great territory like this has not even a voice in the
government of the nation. We seldom remember that when a man leaves the
States ami comes north he abandons many of his citizenship rights. He no
longer cah vote for a president and his representative in congress may not
\ote, even on questions relating to the territory itself. That hardly sounds
like free government.
When a great war comes and when a great army is required by a nation
conscription is probably the best anti most just means of securing forces.
Even though enough soldiers could be obtained by the voluntary system it
would hardly be right to let the most willing do all the fighting and let
what they have come to call the shirkers rest at home. It is likely that the
most unselfish are the ones to volunteer and it would hardly be the best
system for a nation to risk the lives of the most unselfish while the other
kind were kep; to continue the race. European countries have been condemn
ed for the conscription principle by those which did not practise it but in the
case of the United States and now of Great Britain it is found, after all, to
be necessary.
Alaskans will be glad in one way if Secretary Lane is appointed to the
supreme bench but his appointment will be a serious loss to the territory.
Never has anyone placed so highly exhibited so great an interest in any
place as Lane has in Alaska. It might really be about the wx>rst thing that
could happen to us to have the present secretary of the interior placed in
another position just now. But if he goes Alaska will wish him the longest
term of office that the Eates can bestow.
To the people of the Outside: This is the tenth day of January—the
middle of the winter when biting blizzards are supposed to be blowing in
Alaska. Instead of blizzards we have soft and gentle rains—dbft as a glove
and gentle as a lamb.
MAN DROPS DEAD
AT LOWER RIVER
FAIRBANKS.—In a wire received
last evening by the marshal’s office.
Deputy Marshal Anders, of Hot
Springs, reported that “Black Sami"
John Warner, of Tofty, dropped dead j
December 11, while standing in Kelly
& Anderson’s saloon. A coroner’s in
quest was held and the jury returned
a verdict to the effect that death was
due to heart failure.
John Warner was an oldtimer of
the North, having been in Dawson for
a number of years before coming to i
the Tanana valley. He had been at
Tofty and in Hot Springs country for
a number of years, where he worked
a great deal in black sand. He was
known by everybody in the district
as “Blacksand Johnnie.” The funer
al was held at Tofty.

MARSHAL CITY LOOKS GOOD
r
Fairbanks Times: Mushing in
from the lower river, Dennis Mul
cahey reports that conditions at Mar
shal city, on the lower Y’ukon river,
are better than at any time since the
camp was first struck, almost two
years ago. Mr. Mulcahey came
through from Nome and is on his
way outside to undergo medical treat
ment and did not have much time to
investigate the camp hirfiself, but he
was informed by a friend of his,
whom he met at Unalakleet, that
there would be more money cleaned
up there when the water started to
run than ever before. Three outfits
are reported to be taking out good
sized dumps and are in the pay. Sev
eral others are operating on a smaller
scale, while about 20 men are pros
pecting.
At Nome, business is rather quiet,
the traveler reports, but the mining
men think that next summer will be
even better than last season. The
people of Nome are up in arms, as
usual, over the poor mail service, but
have been unable to induce the de
partment to do anything for them.
PROMINENT YOUNG
LADY IS MARRIED
FAIRBANKS.—In the mail receiv
ed last evening, a number of cards
were received in Fairbanks, announc
ing the marriage of Miss Violet May
Megrath, of Seattle, to Mr. Frederick
Hilton Schroeder, The wedding took
place on Wednesday, November 17.
Miss Megrath was well known by
many Fairbanks people, having visit- (
ed here in 1912 with her father John
Megrath, when the party of Seattle j
Shriners came North. The bride’s ;
father is one of the prominent con
tractors of the Pacific coast, and was j
the builder of the beautiful Seattle
postoffice.—Times.
