BY IMPLICATION.
The president of the esteemed Ram
part Miners’ Association professes to,
Relieve that the Yukon Valley News
was established to wage war on the
association.
The Yukon Valley News professes ,
friendship for the Rampart Miners' As
sociation. Therefore, by implication,
the aforementioned president accuses
the Yukon Valley News of falsehood
and deceit.
The Yukon Valley News does not be
lieve the president’s professions are
made in good faith; that he believes
what he says he believes, or that his
motives are pure—and he may apply
the implication to his own liking.
Hut one tiling can impair the strength
and usefulness of the association, and
that is a lack of interest in it by the
miners themselves. It will be just as
good and just as strong as the mass
that composes it—and no better and no
stronger. Its membership is said to he
increasing rapidly, and with practically
all the miners in active participation it
may accomplish much good and can not
go far wrong.
THE QUESTION OF A DELEGATE.
('oast papers are booming United
States Marshal .1. M. Stump, of the First
judicial division, for Alaskan delegate
to congress. He inav receive the repuli
liean nomination. If lie does not, it is
altogether likely that some other federal
otlieinl, or ex-otlieial whose principal
interest in Alaska has Ison acipiired
through federal polities, will become
the republican candidate.
If the democrats put up a candidate
at all of course he will have to come
from outside the circle of otlieial influ
ence, but lie will cut but small figure at
I test. The miners will have a candi
date, and in the very nature of things
he will la* a man of the |ico|»te—g>»«l,
Pad or indifferent, hi* will not !»• l.*ok
invt to federwl favor for his bread ami
twitter.
A federal official in Alaska is nothing
more nor less than an agent for the
United States government, hero to carry
out its instructions and look out for its
interests.
When Alaska elects a delegate he will
go to Washington as the agent of Alaska
to look out for Alaska’s interests.
An election for delegate would lose all
significance if federal influence should
dominate it. One of the greatest benefits
of the election will be educational—the
people will get their first lesson in car
ing for themselves.
Looking at the matter in this light,
and believing that the choice of the
the territory’s first representative will
mean much more than any temporary
advantage, it seems that the miners'
candidate should receive a united sup
port from a people to whom partizan
ship holds out no promise in material or
spiritual things.
A NOTED MACHINE.
It is very probable that the Fairbanks
News lust its linotype in the late fire.
The machine had quite a history. It 1
was brought to Dawson over the iee by :
Captain Uoediger, of the Dawson News,
in the winter of 189D-1900. It arrived
in fine shape, and in a few days was
doing the composition for the paper. It
enabled the News to distance its com
petitor, the popular Nugget, in the race
for public favor, and the latter could
never regain its lost prestige.
The machine cost about $n,0(Xt laid
down in Dawson, probably two thirds
of which was for transportation.
It worked so perfectly that the Daw
son Indians almost attributed thinking
powers to it. They would watch it
through the window and pay it homage
by representing the graceful motion of
its arm in pantomimic eloquence.
When the Fairbrnks News acquired it
in l'.H)4 that paper at once jumped to the
front rank. The machine has been
lucky. Perliaps it escajied, after all.
Tub republicans of the Tanana will
stand by the miners of the Tanana.
The official paper of the Yukon don't
want the republicans of liampart to
stand by anybody, except— Put the
Valley News submits to the point of
order—it doesn’t belong to ’em.

The Ketchikan MininS Journal thinks
the two principal qualification? neces
sary to fit a man for delegate to eon
gross from Alaska are—first, plenty of
friends at the seat of government; sec
ond, plenty of money to entertain them
with after he gets there. The M. J.
says Marshal Slump possesses both re
quirements. It is a pretty safe guess
that the friends will not be the first to
become scarce.
The l-'orum ami a few individuals oc
casionally attribute the editorship of
the Yukon Valley News to [a rsons not
connected with the pa]>or. It is encour
aging to note that they never pick out
a fool to liear the responsibility.
It is said that the Alaska Forum and
the Kampurt republican committeeman
have withdrawn their suiqsirt from
President Roosevelt.
Or Rampart's imputation, four are in
jail—apparently for life.
