A full socialist ticket is now in the field in this division for election to
the territorial legislature and it is about full time that the people who have
the interests of the country at heart took notice of the fact. The power of the
legislature is extremely limited to say the least of it but it might have a very
great power for evil if its members were not of the kind to gain the confidence
of the administration.
Alaska is no place for what some misguided people call socialism. In the
lirst place it is safe to say that not fi'e per cent of the people in Alaska who
call themselves socialists know what socialism is or what ethical questions
it in'ohes. They are simply men who have failed and who have neither the
backbone nor the intelligence nor the mental training necessary to avoid
bitterness against the successful or society as a whole. An Alaskan socialist
i*. as a rule, only another name for an en'ious and helpless piker. The very
atmosphere and life of Alaska ought to be death to any so-called socialist
ideas and doctrines. In this territory men are as nearly equal and are given
as nearly equal chances as the human race can ever hope for. The govern
ment has gone a step further and has actually inaugurated a system which
e'en beats socialism itself. It pre'ents monoply and is taking over under its
direction the means of tran*|H>rtation and, so far as possible, the resources
themselves, so that there is absolutely no need of agitation of the socialistic
kind in the territory.
By electing socialists—it sounds ridiculous to use the word in speaking
of the Alaskan variety—wo can only succeed in making Washington regard
us as a lot of worthless iiim out poop*. The president himself would undoubted
ly throw up hi* hands in horror at the thought that he had labored to open
the territory for a lot of puling malcontents, and what ela« could he believe
us to be if we sent to Juneau a lot of men who are not socialists of the intelli
gent, thinking class but are of the kind that harbor ideas born in slums and
reared in ignorance.
There are many good and worthy men running for the legislature but
if the 'Ote is di'ided up among parties and cliques there is present the grave
danger that some of the most despicable kind of representatives will become
the territory’s voice.
The newspapers and the people of Alaska should not be afraid to face
this danger openly and determinedly. There are politicians who fear to speak
lest they lose a 'ote or two and there are papers equally cowardly and dis
honest. There are men occupying the highest positions in the territory who
would welcome the lowest type of citizen to their bosoms because that citizen
might ha>e a 'ote or a voice and none of them can be found to come out and
point out the danger.
In speaking of these so-called socialists care should be taken to point
out that they do not include the real workers. These socialists are accustomed
to try to make condemnation of themselves and their doctrines to appear as
condemnation of workers generally. In this way tlu»y try to seduce the work
ers and to frighten public opinion, but they should be reminded that they are
not only different from the workers but they are the very antithesis of the
man who works hard and takes his medicine.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Charles B. Kincaid, a prospector
from Seward, is in a hospital at Fair
banks recovering from a terrible ex
perience. He left Seward early in
July on a stampede to the head of the
Chultina river in the Broad Bass sec
tion. Reaching the scene of the sup
posed find the old prospector found
fully one hundred men but no pay.
Several stringers had been staked but
Kincaid decided they were not worth
investigating so he struck out for the
head waters of the Xenana. He built j
a raft on Kantrell, a tributary of the
Xenana. but was wrecked, lcsing ev
erything he had. After traveling for
five days, living on berries, and prac
tically without clothing, he reached a
railroad survey camp, where he was
taken care of and sent to the hospital
at Fairbanks, where he is recovering
as fast as might be expected.
VALDEZ—Word was received from
San Francisco that the Appellate
Court for the Ninth Circuit had af
firmed the judgment secured by At
torney Ritchie against the Guggen
heim Copper company mine at La
touche because of the injury to John
Perdin, who suited for damages and
received $4,000, which, with interest
since the judgment, will make it
$4,500.

To the Voters oi the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to come before you
in person, I find it necessary to make this announcement through the
medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
rote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promisee to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay" during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN VOTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

United States Commissioner Hill,
of Ruby, owns a team of hounds which
have been getting into trouble. One
of the dogs attacked a little girl and
bit her severely before the brute could
be driven away. The father of the
child is insisting that the dog be kill
ed, but the owner wants to settle by
the payment of $100.
From Juneau Umpire.—The Susitna
Valley, in the vicinity of Knik is ac
quiring some real farmers according
to F. W. Williamson, U. S. suveyor to
the General land office, who returned
from that section on the last trip of
the Alameda. Mr. Williamson headed
one of the government survey parties
that worked in that section last sum-:
mer. There are about 25 actual farm
ers settled on land 20 to 30 miles nor
theast of Knik who are making im
provements and becoming attached to
the soil, according to Mr. Williamson,
and they are making a success of it
too, he says.
Commenting no the strike at Broad
Pass, the Mining & Engineering Jour
nal of New York says:
“The report from Alaska that the
Broad Pass strike was the greatest
gold discovery ever made,” is doubt
less exaggerated, but no definite an
nouncement can be obtained at this
time from the principals mentioned.
The reports must, in consequence, be
scrutinized with the usual reserva
tions when reading of scientific or
technical discoveries in the daily
press, whose reporters feel constrain
ed to make “an interesting story.”
NOME, Sept. 25.—'The United Stat

struck an unchartered rock ofT Cape
Douglas, and was floated by the Bear,
aided by Nome’s life saving crew, ar
lived hero today. Divers will make an
examination of the Corwin’s hull to
ascertain what damage she may have
sustained._ __
