SPAN \Ul>. HU (, A1PNN v\ 10 ALASKA, TUESDAY, APRIL, 27, 1915.
The railroad ru«.h has begun and not even the gods could stop it. There is
always a certain portion of humanity that is willing to rush to the fields that
look greener because of their distance and the greater the efforts made to
prevent stampedes the less will any attention be paid to them. Chair
man Fdes is right in saying that there is no good reason for an unlimited
rush of poor people to this country at present and the Gateway willingly
grants his request to aid him in pointing out the danger of coming here
without some money with which to live over the period that will intervene
before the railroad construction work is in full swing. \et, it would be a
hopeless task to stop the avalanche of people which is now moving on this
district and will continue to move for a long time. There is bound to be a
tremendous lot of hardship among those who come without means. They
should certainly not overcrowd each other as they become only a burden to
themselves and to the territory.
People with monev ought to have a first class chance in this district to;
take up homesteads and engage in various pursuits if they are willing to;
settle down but it should always he remembered that Seward, at least, has,
never endeavored to bring about a reckless stampede and that it is the last j
thing this city wants.
Times are bad outside and no one could say that, if a man has a little
money and sees no way in the states by which he can lmprive his lot, he
should not take the chance of coming to a new country.
I’nquestionahly, a big ru>h in here at present would be followed by a
big rush out and the only advantage that could be gained would be temporary.
But if people come here with the means of tiding themselves over the dull;
period, and if they have funds and the ability to rustle for themselves they I
will probably get along al! right. Anyhow, it is impossible to stop a human
rush. It is like a cattle stampede and starts often without any more ap
parent cause.

The new cit> council is going pretty strong. The financial conditions ot :
the city hardly warrant! so quick a change from the “close” to the generous
system inaugurated with the new council. In looking ahead the council may'
not see now the many absolutely necessary expenses that have a peculiar
way of coming in view in all cities. I he way may look clear ahead but, lordy,
any city council in the world "ill tell you that the expenses expected are noth
ing to the ones that were not expected.
