The rcMilts uf the terrific bombardment of Antwerp arc almost too awful
to contemplate. It i- enough to know that the city is amongst the first five, if
not the first four, of the |«>rts of the world in commerce to understand what
frightful havoc can he wrought by the great guns of the German besiegers.
Only a few years ago the cil.v spent twenty million dollars for the improve
ment of its warves alone and in one of its churches or galleries can be seen
some picture which is priceless. Its cathedral as an example of Gothic arch
itecturc is hardly second to that of Kheim* which is also said to have been de
stroyed. .Around Antwerp are two lines of fortifications of a powerful kind
which may be able to keep out the invader.
Talking about fortifications of cities reminds one that the savagery of
our skin-clad ancestors is only different from ours in appearance. They raised
walls of hru-h and wattles to keep out the other savages and we raise earthen
and stone defences for the same purpose. The difference between wattles and
cement is the difference between their “civilization" and our own.
Now that the election- are coming on we should steel ourselves to stand
a lot of tommy rot. The adherents of one man will stop at nothing to make him
look like something that he isn’t and the opponents of the same man will try
to prove that he isn’t what he ought to be. On one side there will be as much
twaddle a- on the other. Newspapers of a certain kind will start “roasting"
the other side with a lot of hogwash which has about as much power to influ
ence the mind of any sane individual as the folks who write the stuft have the
power of seeing what rubbi-h they write.
Next year will be the banner year of Alaka. In that year the construction
of the goverment railroad will be going on and millions of people will be
attracted to the Panama imposition and in turn to Alaska, so that we may ex
pect to see many of them. The output for the territory, as published yester
day. for last year will prob.ihly be less than the amount that will be spent
from outside sources next year. At least we hope so.
Several ex-office holder** in this division and the Second division have
signified their intention of being candidates for the legislature. Being gentle
men of leisure their places are in the lead in this aristocratic land ot ours,
particularly katalla and the kougarok. Born leaders don’t have to work, any
how.
(.'an you. dear reader, tell offhanded one bill that the last territorial leg
islature passed that will hold, with the exception of woman’s suffrage? It is
doubtful even if they eftuId pas- that but not a man iu th*» t«rrit4krv 4i-r«

To the Voters oi 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 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 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 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.
