If the legislature of Alaska can manage to show to the administration
how Alaskans feel on the subject of carpet-bagging it will be performing a
work that will make its existence valuable.
Washington apparently still labors under the impression that Alaska
is peopled by men whose ideas of government are primitive. There is always
a tendency in every country to look upon “colonials” or “territorials" as
people of provincial or inferior conceptions, lo those wise men of the east
we are only what might be called a lot of essentially uncultivated individuals
in whose hands the government of any place would be dangerous.
If the national administration decided tomorrow that Alaska needed a
federal board for the conduct of its all airs the chances are good that not a
man in the terirtory would be asked to be one of its members. We are to
Washington what a village is to a city but there would be no Washington if
the people of cities had to be depended on tor the making of the nation.
Let W ashington he respectfully reminded that people came to this
country who are just as well equipped in any line as those who did not have
courage to get away from asphalt sidewalks lest they might soil their patent
leathers.

The following editorial is taken from the Fairbanks Citizen. Just read
it and substitute Seward for Fairbanks wherever the name, appears. It
shows how much alike we all are;
In his speech last Monday night Delegate Wickersham severely criti
cised the people of Fairbanks, especially the I airbanks Commercial club,
for having failed so he charged, in providing him with the aid he needed at ,
Washington, lie also criticised what he termed the "Jim Crow newspapers
of the Territory for not properly supporting him.
While there has been some resentment expressed against the criticisms
of Mr. Wickersham, on the whole there seems to be some grounds for com
plaint, and the criticism should awaken the people of the Territory to the ^
realizaion that the delegate in congress cannot accomplish much without
their assistance.
Being away from home so much Mr. Wickersham does not realize, perhaps
that the Commercial club is handicapped, by a lack of support,, also, which
prevents it in trun from giving him the aid he needs. The obstacle with which
the Commercial club mu*t contend include the factional fights that are evi
dent at most times in Fairbanks, just as they are in every small community.
When ever the people of Fairbanks get together for their mutual wel
fare, and bury their minor differences, they can build up the Commercial
club and promote the best interests of their city. I'ntil that time, neither
the Commercial club nor the people generally can accomplish much in the
matter of giving the delegate the aid that he needs in Washingon.
FRANCE NOT AFRAID
OF CHOLERA SPREADING.
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Dec. o.—The recent procla
mation issued by General von der
Goltz to the people of Brussels, ment
ioning the possible return of German
troops from France on account of an
alleged epidemic of cholera raging in
the French army, has caused Dr.
MetchnikotT of the Pasteur Institute,
to declare that Paris in particular, an<>
France in general, have nothing to
fear from the disease. He says the j
season is too far advanced for it to
take hold, and medical science is too
well armed against it for it to make
any headway.
The general health of Paris, Dr.
Metchnikoff says, was never better
and the physical conditions of the'
French troops is magnificent, which
fact, in connection with the rogress
made in surgery, accounts for the
comparatively light mortality among
the wounded.
PREPARING FOR
AN INVASION
HOW ENGLAND IS GETTING
READY TO MEET GERMAN
ATTACK.
(By The Associated Pres*.)
LONDON, Dec. 5.—Remarkable ru
mors are circulating in London con
cerning the means the Germans expect
to use in Reaching England. Guns
which can shoot across the strait of
Dover, submarine transports capable
of landing large detachments of sold
iers on the English coast, and sub
marine forts along the Belgian coast
are among the mysterious devices gos
sip accredits Germany as having in
reserve.
The activity of the Germans in pre
paring fortifications of some sort at
Zeebrugge, on the Belgian coast north
of Ostend and not far from the mouth
of the Scheldt, has given rise to many
alarming stories. One is that caissons
are being sunk from which the Ger
mans will be able to fire torpedies.
These caissons are supposed to be per
manent and of such character that
they can also be used to conceal dis
appearing guns which can in an em
ergency be raised for use above the
water.
“Christmas dinner in London” is
the latest slogan of the German troops
along the Belgian coast. Officers and
men have constantly circulated the re
port that they expect to invade Eng
land. While English officials have said
little about a possible invasion, there
has been no lack of preparation to re
ceive the onslaughts of any force of
Germans which might manage to cross
the twenty miles of water between
Dover and Calais.
English aeroplanes and dirigibles
are constantly on the alert. The sea is
fairly alive with naval craft of all des
criptions. Mines are carefully placed,
and any landing in England would
doubtless be made at terrible cost if
such a landing be possible, and once
landed an enemy would find coast ar
tillery and evey possible sort of ob
struction standing between the sea
coast and London. Wire entangle- (
ments and breastworks of sandbags
bar all paths leading from possible
landing places to the tops of the
chalky cliffs which surround the island
Trenches for riflemen and field guns
have been dug in strategic points all
along the coast.
Hundreds of thousands of young
soldiers have been giving practical
lessons in digging entrenchmenst from
one end of England to the other. And
the work has been all directed by mili- i
tary experts who saw to it that earth

see so many pretty and useful things that you wanted, and
felt that you needed, and start in and buy and buy,—and
when you got home and looked over the stock that you had
on hand, see where you had bought a lot of goods that
while they were nice, and all that sort of thing, discovered
that you might have lived without your recent purchases
Travelling men have been coming to Seward this Fall and
they all had such fine lines that we have been buying and
buying and now we find that we have a stock of goods that
has no equal in Seward, and its high time that we are
selling some of them. In order to do this we have to offer
the goods at prices that will make it an object lor pur
chasers to buy now, and we are going to do it.
Did any one ever have enough socks? Well we have
now, because it seemed that every travelling man had
some line that we just had to have in order to be able to
offer our Customers the best. We have Silk Socks, the
Light, Sheoer, Gauzy effects and then the Ribbed two
toned effects. Then we have about a dozen ‘weights in
Cashmere from extreme light weights to the heavy im
ported Autumn Shades in Winter weights. In Socks for
the trail we are in a class by Ourselves and the kind that
we are selling at Three Pairs for a Dollar has grabbed
the Sock business in Seward. We have the Heavy ones
too £t SixBits, and some heavier for a Dollar and then the
Two Heeled, Hand Knitted Kind at a Dollar and a Dollar
and a Quarter. I suppose we have over Two Hundred
Dozen Soxs on hand and they all have to be sold.
