IK CANDIDATES for election to the territorial legislature continue to
crop up as they have been cropping up there will be the biggest crop ol
them up that any old territory ever saw since
CANDIDATES BY THE the countless recruits in the legions of Luci
ULNDEEDS for arose in the effort to legislate for heaven.
We have democratic candidates, republican
candidates, progressive candidates, socialist candidates, independent candi
dates and candidates that are or would be a mixture of all if they thought
they could only get a vote. If each of the parties named only run enough
candidates to till a ticket it will mean more than one hundred citizens of thi
territory that are willing and anxious to lead us from bondage to a sight ol
the promised land. But there will be many more.
Why is it that any man wants to be a member of that legislature is some
thing that passes the understanding unless it is that fifteen dollars a day foi
sixty days looks good to him. One can understand how an attorney w'ould
want to run, for membership in the legislature would give him a field for the
play of his particular training and might give him a prominence that might
be of service to him professionally. But the men who run are usually men
who have no occupation for the neglect of which nine hundred dollars will
not amply repay them. The men who put themselves forward are very often
men whose very inactivity in ordinary life provides them with the leisun
to spend the time in Juneau if it does not supply them quite with the quali
ties that, theoretically at least, ought to be required in a legislator.
It is difficult to understand, however, what the next session can occupy it
self with for the period of two months. Taxes have been arranged for and
there can remain nothing in that line but some minor detail work. Women
have the vote. The Alaska code has been amended. The other bills which
were supposed to be necessary have become law so far as it la> in the power
of the legislature to make them such, and a lot of joint resolutions wert
passed that congress or the administration probably never saw*.
There seems to be really only one bit of unfinished business, if we except
all the little proposals and bills which are so comparatively small that eNen
the people of the territory never heard of them, and that bit of business Is
the repeal or the amendment of bills passed into law before, and particularly
the new* mining law.
There is a paper now being published in New York by Germans especially
for the purpose of giving the German side of the story in the present war
and denying the alleged false reports published in the American papers. It
gets off some good ones among which is the following:
“Let us see. Germany is now fighting Russia, France, England, Japan,
the Pulitzer estate, Canada, Australia, James Gordon Bennett, Servia, Mon
tenegro, Garibaldi and Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst”.
In another place it calls the allies “all-lies” as a means of drawing atten
tion to what the German people evidently believe to be false reports of the
campaign.
Talking about the reports from the seat of war it is evident that news
paper reporters are not the only artistic colorists of news in the world. For
generations newspapers have been regarded ao the most scientific liars on
earth but compared to the government press bureaus of Europe the most pre
varicating member of the pencil brigade that ever breathed tho breath of
lying life is an apostle of truth.
VOTE FOR
George R. Gosh aw
To the Voters of 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 com© 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 aeek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have mado no
pledges or promises 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.

Three prospectors were spectators
to a fight to the death between two
bears on the Bremner river. The
brutes were a black and brown. The
brown bear was much heavier than 1
his antagonist but was no match for
his active enemy. The fight lasted
more than an hour and was ended by
the black disembowelling the brown
monster. The outcome of the fight
proved a surprise as the brown bear,
has always been regarded as the mon-,
arch of the Alaskan wilds.
Fairbanks—When asked as to how ,
many men he thought would be em-1
ployed on this end of the line, during
the summer of 1015, Lieut. Mears j
said: “That is a hard question to an-1
swer and will depend greatly upon the i
manner in which the government pro
ceeds with the construction. Should (
the different stretches of line be let j
to different contractors it is certain ;
that they would put big forces of meh
on, to complete the job with all possi- j
*le haste. If the government does the J
construction work itself, it is certain
also that they will put on a number;
>f good sized crews as soon as possi
ble, so that there will probably be
!.000 or more men at work next sum
mer”.
Bon Howland, well-known in F air
banks and Iditarod, took his own life I
just before 3 o’clock this morning at
a little cabin on Second avenue in a
highly sensational manner. He had
orocured a small bottle of cyanide of
ootassium, one of the deadliest poi
sons known, and drank enough of the
contents to kill him within a fecv nln
utes. He made no comment before
dying beyond saying that he had
drunk the cyanide and would soon be
gone. He had threatened to shoot
himself earlier in tho evening, but
was not believed to bo in earnest.
Whilo working the 6:30 “run” of
the radio station at5 Circle on Friday
evening, July 18, Corporal T. E. C.ar
trell, the operator in charge of that

a stroke of lightning. The operator
had the receiver on his head and the
lightning struck the tower and gave
him a severe electric shock.
Ketchikan.—Word comes from Had
ley that the Granby company have
ceased operations on the It and Ma
mie mines for a while at least. The
condition of the copper markets has
also made its effects felt by that com

Alaska’s contribution to Uncle
Sam's money chests through the oper
ation of the internal revenue laws for
the fiscal year which terminated June
30th last was $31,857. Most of these
collections were on liquors and to
baccos. The new forms of direct
taxes, however, also furnished a con
siderable part of the whole.
Alaska paid $4,682.87 corporation
in tax, $2,427.83 individual income tax
and $1,075.81 corporation excise taxes.
Juneau, Sept. 10.—Senator Henry
Roden arrived in Juneau on the Jef
ferson this morning coming direct
from the Iditarod where he spent the
summer. Senator Roden says that he
made a grubstake out of the “Guggs”
and will now settle down in Juneau
and make this place his future home.
