SEWARD, VI vsk v. WEDNESDAY, Jl NB St, ISIS.
It might be news to the city council of Seward that the city council of
Ketchikan has parsed a resolution in favor of refusing certain saloon licenses.
There is surely nothing wrong in aiding authority to prevent an abuse of any
privilege. Not that the court is supposed to be influenced by public opinion.
It certainly is not in purely judicial matters but in affairs which come under
the extraordinary administrative duties of a judge, such as judges in Alaska
mu9t undertake, there can he nothing wrong in letting a judge know the opin
ions of the people. Rut, ordinary man proposes and the house of lords
disposes.
People who were at Prince Rupert when the lots of that place were dis
posed of as they are to be disposed of at Anchorage say the real estate went
to enormous prices. It is questionable whether giving a man five years to
pay for a property is not an injury to him in the long run. A man who has to
pay down only a fifth of the price is inclined to pay more for a property
than he otherwise would pav or more than it is worth. There is probablv not
a lot in Seward today that would not command a greater price than its real
value if purchasers were offered it on so-called easy payments. Of course,
no one can blame the government for getting as much as possible out of the
lots. Later on to* n si ten may be put under the hammer at Matanuska Junc
tion. Matanuska itself and various other places along the right of way until
the government secures a verv large sum of money which will aid in the
development of Vlaska. That is all very well and good, although the old
thought will keep recurring—the thought that a man coming direct from the
outside from this time until the ninth of July with lots of money belonging
to himself or others in his pocket can outbid the fellow who has been pros
pecting half hungry in the hills of the territory for years. This railroad will
dev elope Alaska, but will it dev elope Alaskans.

NEW YORK. June 11.—J. P. Mor-;

000.000 first mortage 6 per cent, ten
year convertible bonds of the Ken

in Alaska formerly owned by the Ken- j
necott Mines Company, and also a
majority of the stock of the Beatson
Copper Company.
The case of the Pioneer Mining

years ago and became quite famous
in its earlier stages. It involved over
$14,000 worth of gold stolen from the

got into the custody of the court, anct
it has taken all these years fov the
