SEWARD, ILASKA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1915.
In passing the resolutions endorsing the work of the Engineering com
mission the Commercial Club has voiced the sentiment of the community.
There may be some things in connection with the work of construction
which do not suit all of us. Some of us are inclinAi merely to take into account
facts which we would have eliminated, without taking into account circum
stances which have rendered those facts inevitable. In other words we
sometimes fail to see that imperfections, if one might call them so, are not
imperfections in themselves but the necessary outgrowth of imperfect con
ditions in a country which is so far removed from great centers of population
and in which it is difficult, for instance, always to secure forces of men that
might be the most desirable kind.
In a couple of days now Mr. Files will go back to Washington and it is
pleasant to know that he w ill go back armed with the commendation of the
people whom he has directly served. The endorsement of Seward and An
chorage will show the administration that Alaskans appreciate what has
been done for them. It will, indeed, rather reflect credit on ourselves than
on the Engineering Commission. Once when Napoleon took prisoner a brave
and proud chief he paid the prisoner the compliment of assuring him that
he would tell the chief’s king of the noble fight he had made. The prisoner’s
answer to the great Bonapart was:
“Spare thyself that trouble; my master knows me better than thou.”
Seward is right in endorsing the commission but the chances are that
President Wilson and Secretary Lane know Messrs. Files, Riggs and Mears
better than we. They have become friends of the people amongst whom they
have labored. The resolution of the Fairbanks Commercial Club to retain
“Tom” Riggs in that part of the field shows that our friends at the other
end of the line think as we do. Alaska stands behind the three able men the
government has sent in for the great task of driving an iron way through
the wilderness. Washington only sent them here because they have proven
their ability in other fields but it is only doing ourselves honor and justice
to show that we have sense enough to recognize the calibre of those men
when we see it. To Mr. Files, who is about to leave, and to Mr. Riggs, who
is already on the way east, Seward’s people say ”Au Revoir,” and they say
it from their hearts.

CURE FOR PELLAGRA
IS NOW DISCOVERED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—A cure
for Pellagra is the latest to be dis
covered and it was given out to the
public yesterday. The disease hits
been found to be due to a one-sided
diet and the cure is merely to take a
well balanced diet. The one-sided
diet does not supply sufficient pro
' teids. The disease has been epidemic
at various times in Italy and some
! other countries where too plain a diet
I has been necessary. The disease
! shows in the skin on the exposed
i parts of the body.

PIONEER HORSE OF
ALASKA COMES OUT
SEATTLE, Oct. 21.—Frank Man- j
1 ley, one of the big mining operators
in the Iditarod, took a horse .into the
[Country twelve years ago. The horse
1 was^a faithful animal and never has
• shirked, but did his part with the
fellows and even put a little extra
strength into the collar when it had
seemed necessary. Yesterday this
pioneer Alaskan horse arrived on the
I Victoria and was met on the pier by 1
Manley who saw that he was escorted
safely to a stable, where, after he re
! covers from the effects of the rough
I
sea voyage, he will be taken to a
farm to rest and kick up his heels in
knee-high grass for the balance of
his days.
