The ship building industry ought to he a pretty lively one after the end
of the war. If the ships of all the countries continue' to he sunk as they have
been and if the war lasts for two or three years as Lord Kitchener seems to
believe the loss to shipping will he almost incalculable. With the loss of ship
ping will come the inability to carry on commerce on anything like its old
scale and this will he even more disastrous. Indeed it is hardly possible to
measure the awful consequences to the world. It is not too much to estimate
that the number of ship* lost since the beginning of the war is nearly one
hundred. It is at least one for every day that the war has continued, which
would mean sixty. It the war continues three years it would mean more than
a thousand ships.
The number i*. however, much greater. The British alone seem to have
lost more than one every day. They have lost about one for each day in the
North Sea alone and others of their ships have been taken off the Indian
coast, the South \merican coast and elsewhere. Ihe loss to the German ship
ping must have been as great, or as great in proportion to the relative num
ber of the ship* of each country. W e do not hear of the ships lost in the Med
iterranean and other places from whieh communication is unusual.
W hile all these losses are going on as well as the losses from the usual
accidents of the ocean no one will build ships. Ihe commerce of the world
during such times does not warrant the building of vessels and so ships will
disappear from old age, storms and ordinary wrecks and there will be none
constructed to take their place. It will take many, many years lor the world
to recover from the effects of this war—the effects arising from the loss to
shipping alone. Ihe li»" of life and other property on land is another ques
on and one of infinitely greater moment, lhis being so only the more viv
idly shows the lovely qualities of the thing called war.
Is it not a fact that the people of Alaska are approaching the coming
elections for the local legislature without seeming to be very much interested?
This lack of interest is due no doubt to the empty sort of session the first one
proved to be and the very few results secured. It has gradually dawned on
the people of the territory that the legislature they received from congress
was a sort of a play thing to keep them from crying. The legislators went
down to Juneau f i I It'd with the great glory that was theirs and the ambition
to gain distinction welled up in their bosoms. A few of them at least were fir
ed with the desire to shake the territory with their forensic thunder on the
floor of “the house” or “senate” as the jokers at Washington designated the
innocuous toy gun they threw at us as an impatient mama throws a teddy
bear to a squaw ling two year old. I he legislature, however, apparently
thought the bauble wa* a cannon and shot off more than it would stand for.
To repair the damage congress has passed a new law hut this seems to have
been also useless. It is really about time we got a proper weapon and we
surely can pick some good men to wield it.

George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of me 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 come 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 Territerial 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 seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made 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.

NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
Fairbanks— J. H. Russell, who is
now operating his own ground on 21
Goldstream, which was given up by
the Huddleston brothers recently, is |
now in the money having opened a
rich paystreak after taking hold with
his crew. He struckit about two weeks
ago, almost immediately after going
to work on the property and has open
ed up enough ground to keep him and
a big crew of men busy all the fall at
least it is said. One man who visited
the property said that he had seen
pans running as high as a dollar.Rus
sell made his first cleanup a week ago
and it was a substantial one.

Fairbanks—A pathetic incident in
connection with the sailing of the
White Seal last night was the devot
ion shown to his dog by John Flam
and, one of the poor unfortunates ,
whom Deputy Charles is taking to
Ruby to transfer to the sanatorium at
Morningside. A dog which has been j
his constant companion on the trail
and in camp at the different places in
Alaska where he worked until his j
mind gave way, followed him on board |
the vessel.

1DITAROD—The Pioneer of June
20 contained a dispatch from Wash- i
ington to the effect that Frank Good
body of Arizona was slated to succeed
Judge F. E. Fuller of the Fourth jud
icial district of Alaska. The dis-1
patch was also printed in other Ala
skan newspapers as well as Outside
papers. In some instances Delegate
Wickersham was given authority for,
the statement. v
In a telegram forwarded from Fair- j
banks to Judge Fuller, dated July 18,
Mr. Wickersham states that there
is not the least foundation for the re
port, and that so far as he is aware no
change has been contemplated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—Senator
Shofforth was actively engaged in
trying to block the Alaska coal leas- |
ing bill from passing the Senate, in
spite of the fact that the President
had indicated a few days ago that the
bill be passed before the termination
of this session of Congress.
Thomas Corville, a British war
veteran who was anxious to get into
the fighting zone without delay, left
Dawson several days ago to walk
from the Klondike for the front. He
did not have the price of steamer
fare from Dawson to Whitehorse,
and failed to get it from anyone
here, and so took a little hardtack
and hit out over the overland trail,
365 miles, for Whitehorse. Corville
was in the South African Campaign
for the Union Jack. Corville recently
was engaged at Coal creek as a
miner.—Dawson News.
Many more Chisana miners are re
ported as coming down, all headed
for Fairbanks and all glad to get from
the district with winter coming on and
no prospects of work or new ground
being opened.
