SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1017 j
Examples will continue to come for ever, perhaps, oi
young people leaving Alaska in the beliel that a larger
Held will present them with larger possibilities to prove
their abilities. Hope never leaves the young breast and ;
every youth has a sneaking feeling that the big cities, pre
ferably metropolitan ones, are the places where he can the j
more easily climb the ladder of fame. And while lie is •,
thus dreaming there are countless youths bred and raised
in the metropolis who dream of the day when they may
leave the big city and get out where there is elbow room.
The citv bov sees fame in the wilderness and the country
boy sees the Paradise of his hopes in the city. Both are
right and neither is right, if one might indulge ih para
dox. One thing may be said, however, and that is that a
greater proportion of people succeed in Alaska than in big"
cities. If we look back to the real opening oi Alaska,
about the time of Nome’s discovery, we can see many
men who once worked as laborers on the creeks become
governors, federal judges, marshals, famous writers, mil
lionaires or wealthy business men and miners. But it
these more remarkable successes be ignored we still have
an average of success greater than the average outside, Hi 1
proportion, of course, to population. Men working for |
wages or salaries in this territory have an independence
which they could never enjoy where the competition is
more keen.
Indeed, the very independence of spirit acquired by
hie in Alaska is often the very cause of making us look
at all the world with rose-tinted glasses and to forget the
struggles elsewhere. We forget the city where hundreds
ef men more capable line up at the ottices where a wr
tancy has occurred. We forget everything but the often
groundless confidence in our own ability which it takes
manv a hard knock to shatter.

Delegate Wickersham is probably elected to con
gress once again after the hardest tight of his career,
t his paper has always expressed the doubt that Mr. Sul
zer could maintain his lead when the remote precincts
were heard from and this doubt seems to be borne out.
At the time this is written no positive information has ar
rived at this office that the Delegate is re-elected but, any
how, the returns from Bristol Bay would have meant the
defeat of the Democrat, no doubt. It was surely some
light.
A company of Valdez citizens have
organized for the purpo&e of estab
lishing an aeroplane route from Val
dez to Fairbanks. Capt. George
Strixner, one of last year contractors,
will go outside ami learn the duties or
an aviator. The promoters believe
that mail and passengers can be de
livered in Fairbanks in four hours
from Valdez.—Valdez Prospector.
