SEW VIU>, ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1913.
The submitting of the estimates for the railroad work is only, of course,
the first item in the program that will have to be gone through before the
money is available but it marks one more step in the road to the real goal of
Seward. The dispatch of yesterday told us nothing really that we did not
know before but all of u.- are always glad to hear good news and to hear it
us often as possible.
In our absorption in railroad mutters we have all apparently forgotten
the appropriation lor wagon roads. A short time ago we should all be com
plaining of the small appropriation of one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars for that purpose, and many ether camps will complain now, hut it is
hardly the place of Seward to make any protest. Still that is an awfully
small amount for road work. It i> a miserably small amount anil nothing
can be expected from it but the repair and upkeep of some of the roads al
ready built. This will be a serious drawback to some of the territory.
Almost every law of the Alaska legislature which h is been tested in the
courts has been found invalid and it is really a pleasure to tind one or two
at last being upheld. The education law. the liquor law and some other so
called territorial laws are not laws at all. \ve are told, and it is somewhat
surprising to l nd that the tish tax law was not sent the way of the rest.
That legislature is beginning to look more peculiar all the time and it will
be worse before it gets better, perhaps, if we continue to follow what looks j
like a Will o' the Wisp—the statehood idea.

DISMISSED WITH DISHONOR
—NOW A REAR ADMIRAL
LONDON, Dec. 7.—Dismissed in
1910 with dishonor for losing his ship,
Captain E. S. Fitzherbert has just
been appointed a Rear Admiral of the
British navy, squarely against the
traditions of the service.
Until the great war began the Ad
miralty adhered strictly to the prac- j
tice of demoting commanders who j
lost their ships through negligence
and never granting them another
j command. Captain Fitzherbert lost j
his vessel, the Cruiser Bedford, by j
stranding on the Korean coast. He
was court-martialed and dismissed, j
Later he was allowed to re-enter the ,
navy as a superintendent of contract
built ships. His success in this work
re-established the Admiralty’s con
fidence in Fitzherbert and he is now
in the high ranks of the service.
R-\nr Admiral Fitzherbert is a
brother of Lord Stafford.
FISHERMEN ARE DROWNED

Cape Ommenay last Wednesday
morning, Edward Carlson and Jorgen
Ramberg of the halibut schooner

was brought here by Captain Charles
MacGregor, of the Al-Ki, this after
noon.
The dories were out fishing when
the storm came up. The Eunice pick
ed up all the boats excepting one in
which Carlson and Ramberg were
fishing. No trace of the men were
found.—Empire.

The Joys and Clothes
4 ofYuletide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because ot the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun siss Tailoring
Say “Shayne-Brun”
will appeal to you at this time because it's tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

KRAUSE A POLITICIAN;
RAN FOR LEGISLATURE
Edward Krause, who is now in jail
at Juneau waiting trial on the charge
of murdering Christie, and maybe
others, was a candidate for the ter
ritorial legislature at the last election.
He was on the Socialist ticket. The
Juneau papers which have just arriv
ed allude to an effort that was about
to be made to drag Gastineau channel
for the bodies of the missing men.
Attorney Krauszunas, who ran for
congress as a socialist, has come up
from Seattle to defend Krause. The
attorney’s name is spelled from
memory.
