AGGRIEVED AT CRITICISM
The Juneau Record-Miner affirms
that the Gateway has joined in the
“campaign of vilification" against
Gov. Hoggatt because of the govern
or’s opposition to ten itorial organiza
tion. The Gateway i> not aware of
haying called the governor any hard
names and it is prepared at all times
to reassert any purported statements
of fact it has printed in the territorial
coutroversy.
The governor asserted that territor
ial government is mainly advocated
by saloon men and agitators. The
Gateway denied that assertion and re
affirms the denial, claiming that
saloon men, as such, are taking no in
terest in the controversy, while a very
large majority of the men engaged in
trade and mining are in favor of self
government. In this assertion it is
upheld by three-fourths of the news
papers of the territory. The Gateway
also charged that opposition to terri
torial government conies almost whol
ly from a small coterie of corporate
influences for w hich Gov. Hoggatt is
acting as political agent. It reaffirms
the charge.
If that be vilification make the most
of it, dear brother.
The Record Miner complains also
that the Gateway had little to say
about territorial government until the
recent acrimonious discussion arose,
which is true, but the Gateway had
more than once stated that it was
favorable to territorial organization.
This was in the belief that tlu* result
would scon come by natural political
evolution and that there was no need
to maintain a persistent agitation of
the subject. This was apparently the
attitude of a majority of the news
papers of the territory.
Recently it became apparent that
certain influences had organized to
postpone territorial government as
long as possible and w ere seeking by
insidious methods to enlist all the
national political influence they could
obtain. At once the great majority of
the people of the territory, whose atti
tude toward self-government had b**en
that of quiescent approval, were roused
to a fighting mood. The fight is on
and will be continued actively until
territorial government w ins, whether
it be two years or twenty.
Congressman Humphreys bill to aid
the big packing corporations to estale
lish private hatcheries in Alaska was
reported back rrom committee a week
after it was introduced in the house,
while the territorial judiciary bill is
still slumbering in committee after
many weeks. On the surface there
appears to be nothing objectionab'e in
the hatchery bill but why does a corpor
ation boost always give a measure the
right, of way in congress?
The Alaska and Seattle newspapers
continue to spell it Catalla or Catella,
<)r any other way that looks easy to
them notwithstanding the fact that the
federal geographic board officially
promulgated “Katalla” as the future
orthography of the name. “K" doesn’t
look as pretty to most of us as “C” but
it goes officially.
Louis Hill says the people of North
Dakota are freezing because they re
fused to accept coal that was not up to
quality. A little while ago Uncle Jim
said the state was out of coal because
it refused to order any. The two
Hills ought to close up the gap be
tween them and agree on a story be
fore they talk.
New York capitalists have secured a
rubber concession in the Congo from
King Leopold of Belgium and they
will prdbably try to stretch it between
the monarch and international med
dling with alleged atrocities in the
African state.
A colored man in Pittsburg choked
a newsboy who offered to sell him a
paper. The question of justification
depends altogether on what paper was
offered.
All that is lacking now to close the
Kingston incident is for the governor
of Jamaica to mention to the American
admiral the infrequency of irrigation.
The Seattle men who robbed a Val
dez hotelkeeper of $1200 may have ‘
been collecting funds for the exposi
tion. .

in the news prints with some kind of a
scheme for additional acquisition.

than he did of the Seattle spirit.
MUST RELY ON MERIT
The special freight ou Alaska ship
ments which the Northern Pacific
gave Portland in the hope that steam
ship companies would absorb it and
give Portland an even chance with
Seattle at Alaska trade has been with
drawn because it was a light that
(ailed., U was an attempt to give a
tictitious advantage* on the same prin
ciple as railroad rebates, and as such
was abhorrent to the growing senti
ment in favor of the square deal.
The effort failed for the obvious rea
son that all the Alaska steamship com
panies are controlled in Seattle and
dared not if they wished, give Port
land such an advantage. Seattle does
not give anybody even a square deal;
therefore it could hardly be expected
to give its most hated rival the best of
it in competition. Alaska shipments
from other cities are sequestered lor
weeks and months in Seattle doek
warehouses.
Portland has devised a better plan
lor getting Alaska trade, - that of
putting on her own line of steamers.
Meanwhile Tacoma, the one city which
could compete with Seattle on even
ernis, sleeps peacefully on her oppor
tunities.
The late A J. Cassatt tied up his
fortune by will so that it cannot be
distributed until bis youngest descend
ant now living is dead. According to
common law he might have tied it up
twenty-one years longer but he evi
dently believed in moderate use of
power. ^ m

mony gives her mother a tine character.
The high price of eggs will probably

If that isn’t enough the town can
get some chickens from the hatchway
when the boat comes again.
APPROVES PLAN
FOR SMELTER
(Continued from page l)
as to attract the attention of the en
tire copper world. He assented to the
proposition, heretofore claimed for
Seward, that the Matanuska coal de
posits, offering an unlimited supply of
coal both for fuel and coking, with a j
u.ovn grade haul nearly all the way to
tide w iter, and the proximity of the
wonderful copper field of the sound,
make Seward the logical site of
smelters for the reduction of sound
c >p,»er.
An important factor in economical
smelting here, Mr. Hubbard pointed
on, is the fact that the copper ores of
Prince William sound are self-fluxing,
or so nearly so that the cost of flux will
be trivial if it should be found upon
attempting to smelt these ores alone
that a small foreign element is neces
sary to smelting them perfectly. All
the sound ores so far mined are silic
ous aud their fluxing value is so great
th it outside smelters bid for the privi
lege of reducing them with refractory
ores from other regions.
Great Copper Lodes
Mr. Hubbard entertains the com
monly accepted optimistic view of
Prince William sound copper. He
says Knight island is permeated with
copper throughout its area. The same
is true of Lafouehe island and he
thinks it probable that the mainland is
equal to either, taking the Ellamar
mine and the discoveries at Boulder
bay and Landlock bay as indications.
The Hubbard-Eliiotl interests on
Knight island, known as the Knight's
Island copper company will be devel
oped as rapidly as possible and Mr.
Hubbard expects to begin shipping hy
June of this year. The Portland
landed machinery for raining work and
material for a dock. The vein which
has been developed to the mining point
is a 50-foot lode and the ore runs from
5 to 20 per cent copper. It is about
3000 feet from tide water and the ore
will be carried to the dock by a tram.
Other mines will be developed later
and trams installed leading to all of
them.
interior Held Hack
The Hubbard-Elliott property in the
interior cannot ship profitably until a
railroad reaches it. The claims are
simply developed to the extent re
quired for a patent. Fifty-one claims
have been patented so far and others
will be added.
Mr. Hubbard asserts positively that
there is little doubt that the Guggen
heims are trying to bottle up the terri
tory of Alaska and he believes they
will juggle railroad building to that
end, holding it back as far as possible
but building their own lines whenever
necessary to protect their interests.
The Hubbard-Elliott company is inde
pendent and has refused all manner of
ove lures from big purchase money to
blackmail to sell out to the copper
trust. _. ■
Roadhouse On Top of Pass
E. W. Young has established a road
house on the summit just beyond Crow
creek pass, which will afford relief to
the weary wayfarer on the trail after
lifting his load up the 6teep climb on
the southern slope.

James K. Pharo, general manager of
the Alaska Coast Company, is making
an inspection of Southern Alaska ports
on this trip of the Portland. He states
that the Alaska transportation busi
ness is growing rapidly and requires
constant enlargement of carrying
capacity. Mr. Pharo knows nearly all
the business men of Seward and had a
string of callers in the office of Brown
iV Hawkins.
