HEARS!.
Of Hearst it may be said that his defeat— j
first for mayor of New York city and now
for governor of New York state--is not so
much to be regretted as is the fact of his
political aspirations. Successful newspaper
men are rarely successful candidates for
office, and it is well that it is so. For a news
paper man to become important in the
affairs of the country the i>eople must ap
prove him, and the moment he loses their
confidence his power for good or evil is
gone. He is a candidate for public favor
every day of his life and is not nearly so apt
to forget the source of his power as the
holder of a political office is. He is truly a
public servant, and is directly accountable
to the people; but the scope of his influence
is broader and his opportunities for doing
good infinitely greater than those of the
highest official in the land.
Perhaps Hearst himself does not renlize
to what degree, through his papers, he has
impressed his ideals on the great body of
the people. To him the questionable virtue
of humility has never appealed, and more
than any other man he has encouraged a
high standard of living for those who work.
His has been the doctrine that it is true
economy, aad not waste, for all classes of
people to enjoy the good things of life. He
is an educator of the masses, and his teach
ings ure so liberal as to lie thought danger
ous by some.
Hearst the political aspirant —no matter
if he should get to be president, w iiich is
scarcely supposable,—will never have the
power to direct public affairs that Hearst
the newspaper man has had.
Not Long iigo an excunion wu« given from

ruilroml track. ThU mean* wan taken to
show the people of Seward an opportunity

giving the company a money earning power
while the Seward end can hope to be but
an expense till a vast amount of work has
been accomplished. There ia a good opening
for profitable investment of money in con
necting the Fairbunks country and the Yu
kon river by rail.
That was a very happy idea advanced by
Delegate F. H. Waskey that the amusement
street at the Ala9ku-Yukon-Paciflc Exposi
tion be named The Paystreak. Some how
or other not a great deal is heard about Mr.
Waskey, but it looks like he is going to
pan out pretty good.
The race question shows signs of rapidly
developing into the hardest problem to be
solved by the American people. The first
signs of bettering conditions for whites and
blacks will appear when the southern whites
learn that negro labor is not essential to
their existence.
It looks like Uncle Sain is eroing to come
out of that Cuban business with clean
Gatella, Terminus
of C. R. & N. W.
That Catella, on Controller Hay, is to
1»‘ the sea terminus of the Copper River
ami Northwestern Railway is no longer
questioned by persons familiar with de- J
velopments in the northe.ui country. ;
It has been learned that M. K. Rogers,
representing the Morgan and Guggen
heim interests, has purchased about
a thousand acres of land at Catella and
now owns more than a mile of the water
front. Helms decided ujion locations!
for docks and warehouses, and it is un- j
derstood thet the work of building a j
breakwater will commence this winter
or early in the spring.
With the news of the change in the
terminus of the railway comes the re
!>orts from Catella that the Alaska Coal
and Petroleum Company will build a
railroad from some point near Catella
to the coal ami oil properties. It is
learned that definite locations have lieen
made for bunkers and that the surveys
for the rail line are about completed.
The coal will la* mined and brought to
the coast for shipment to the States.
The engineers worked under the direc
tion of Wesley Rogers, u brother of M.
K. Rogers, w ho is looking after the in
terests of eastern capitalists.
Port Valdez was chosen as the sea
terminus of thcl'oppcr River anti North
western Railway more than a yeur ago.
Wburvcs were ImUt and grading work
started, when M. K Rogers was sent
north to determine whether there was a
more practical route, lie went to fa
tt-lla aiul after a inontli <lwiil«xl that it
waa a bailer terminua than I*.»rt Vaklei.
