With this issue the publication of the
Yukon Valley News ceases. It is not
likely that it will be taken up attain by
the present publisher before next spring.
Then, if opportunity should offer and it
can be so arranged that competent
help can be secured and the paper be
somewhat improved, it is unite likely
the publication will be resumed, with
Sam Callahan at his old place in its
affairs. In bidding goodbye to its read
ers, tlie paper wishes to say that it has
been free from attempted blackmail, has
sought not a cent's worth of business
the obtaining of which would lessen its
independence, and has endeavored to
take no unfair advantage, even of its
enemies. The few misguided (lersons
who chose to be enemies of the paper
were never assailed except in self de
fense or when the public good demanded
it. There is no need to go into details,
but the public will surely pardon the
egotism that finds pleasure iu recalling
the duties the paper set itself and the
fidelity with which it adhered to them.
II. F. Dkouok, a pioneer now spujier
man of Dawson, who has boon editor of
the Dawson Nows fur the last four years,
was on the Seattle No. It last Sunday.
He w s accompanied by Mrs. (ieorge
and after a brief visit at Fairbanks they
will go outside and have a good long
rest. The Dawson News has been a
tremendous force in affair- «v the Cana
dian side of \ho l»>J!MidSry. Now that
the Jieople there are soon to have a
wholly elected council the men who
have made the |«i|>ei, feel justly proud
of their |>art in bringing about sell' gov
ernment for their territory. As to the
American side, it is a fai t most fully
com pre lie nded by the distinguished
iKiw-oii editor that public sentiment is
now very cltNW to the point when* Alas
kan-will look U|sin ortieials ami others
who seek to prolong the present system
as natural enemies, whom neitlier g>s«i
policy nor g*M«| moral- will |wrmit of
evcu-ing or upholding in any manm-r.
\ wovawrvr is 'in l - i to |« litcn I--r
a commissioner ami rr»"r*kr f*<r Hot
springs. In tin* abstract, the pr
tarn is right: every Itsaiity should le
given the people to transact their itn tal
business at as little trouble and expense
as possible. In the concrete, the divi
sion of the district, which would mean
also a division of the fees that constitute
the pay of the commissioner, would
carry with it a certainty of two under
paid officials, and might reasonably be
expected to result in hopeless incompe
teney, corruption, or both. This very
matter of the commissioners has been
the fruitful source of a vast amount of
scandal which has attached to every
district judge in Alaska: and we want
to remark, in parenthesis, that in trying
to have the judges relieved of the re
sponsibility of their appointment Judge
\\ ickersham is contending for a princi
ple that is vital to the reputation and
usefulness of the judiciary. Another
thing that suggests itself here is, that
there is a remedy—or ought to be a
remedy and under former conditions in
American mining camps there would be '
a most potent remedy—for the incon
venience complained of at Mot Springs,
and that is in the election of their own
recorder, who would at intervals see
that the documents filed with him are
recorded in the regularly established
government offices. That system has
been a convenience to thousands of
American prospectors, and it is not good
that it has been allowed to die in this
country. Had it, for instance, been in
augurated in the fnnoko, the state of
chaos reporteil there might have been
avoided.
Tom Calk lias not announced that he
will he a candidate for re-election. He
would scarcely deny that if he can l>o of
good service to Alaska in his first term,
it would gratify him to he honored
again; hut with rare good sense he re
alizes that the time has not yet come
to talk of that matter. Mr. Cale has
had a year since his election in which
to talk and 1 k* talked to and lie is to he
sincerely congratulated that his tongue
has betrayed no other characteristic in
him than that of a level-headed, sincere
and earnest man. The same cannot Ik*
said of every man who is elected to
office.
Hon. William Scl/.kh, of New York,
is very well known and well liked hy
Alaskans. In fact he is as near an
Alaskan as a g»**d many of us, for he
he has projierty interests in the terri
tory. As the .left Ihivis steamed away
Monday he shouted hack to the group
of |*eo|*lc with whom he had N*en talk
ing on the street. Say, don't forget to
vote for t ale!" Kki'tion i* a little over
n year off, hut the admonition ought to
keep in this climate.
