ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC EXPOSI
TION.
Godfrey Chealander was one of the
first—if not the very first—to propose
an Alaska exposition to lie held in Se
attle in 1907. Now that the seoi>e of
the exposition has been enlarged so that
it is necessary to delay the exposition
till 1909, Mr. Chealander and the other
pioneers in the movement will have the
more reason to be proud of their part in
the undertaking, for it seems destined
to reach proportions scarcely dreamed
of in the earlier stages of the idea’s de
velopment.
Mr. Chealander has a wide acquaint
ance in Alaska and knows the resources
of the territory and of the mining dis
tricts on the Canadian side of the
boundary line. It is exj>ected he will
be made director of Alaska exhibits,
for which position his experience in con
nection with the Lewis & Clark Expo
sition qualifies him, perhaps, beyond
any other Alaskan. If he is selected by
the management for that important
place his well-known zeal and energy
will go a long way toward making Alas
ka’s exhibit an index to the territory’s
greatness.
The Kampart delegates to the Juneau
republican convention will not be able
to even get their proxies there in time.
The fact that a meeting was held in
Kaui|iart is worth something, however,
and much good may eventually come
of it. _
Thk eilitor «f tlie Forum ilnwm't want
a clique to run things. Just he ami his
astrological assistant arc sufficient—ami
there is not enough of them to form a
respectable combination, much less a
clique. ______
Tiik self-government ilemamt is so
unanimous ami |s-rsistent that the itele
gate to lie clectcil will have use for it in
I !s campaign.

This “bona fule” republicans of the
camp: who are they and what were they
doing June 25?
-
With all the exuberance of spirit last
Friday there was none of the sickening
slobber that was wont to exude from the
Forum editor’s pen before he lost the
district deputy clerkship.
The people of this judicial division
are entitled to know the evidence that
was submitted to the senate committee
in the case of Judge Wickersham. It
concerns them deeply.
Not in Alaska alone, but everywhere
in the United States, the president’s
resolve to stand by Judge Wickersham
will meet with jnipular approval, lie
is simply exercising his authority to
prevent a very small minority over
riding the wishes of the United States
senate. _
Those republicans who prefer Frank
D. Wells to J. W. Young for central.
committeeman certainly have a right to |
their preference. But when they assert
that those who oppose Mr. Wells and
who recommended Mr. Young worked
in secret they willfully misstate the
facts. A large number of republicans
here have long and ojienly contended
that it is disgraceful for Mr. Wells to
lie the authorized representative of the
party in this district. The meeting at
which Mr. Young was recommended for
the place was culled by the chairman of
the territorial committee, was publicly
advertised, and was open and above
board. It was the first republican meet
ing ever openly held here. The ones
who are now crying out against it on
the pretext that it was secret and the
work of a clique are the ones who have
seldomest been seen in the open; and
the career of J. B. Wingate, their leader,
is proof positive of this assertion. .
The Victoria Falls.
The Zambesi river, carrying a huge
volume of water two miles in width, as
it reaches the western borders of Rho
desia precipitates itself into a cavernous
gorge, and thus traverses the northern
plains of the country.
This great drop in the river has pro
duced “the most beautiful gem of the
earth’s scenery,’’ the Victoria Falls.
Almost twice as broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high, an im
mense mass of water rolls over its edge
to precipitate itself in magnificent splen
dor four hundred sheer feet into the
narrow canyon below.
t'ndeterred, the Rhodesian engineers
have, without detracting from the nat
ural beauty of the surroundings, throw n
across the canyon a splendid HfiO-bsit
cantilever bridge and thus opened the
way to Tanganyika, to Yuganda. to

Now, then, if Southeastern Alaska
readies an agreement to stand firm for
ex-Governor Swineford for the short
term and some one else for the long
term, there may lie n very pretty eon
test over the delegateship after nil.
The Sitka ('ablegram is dead. H. W. !
Kohinson, its editor, will lie associated
with the Juneau Dispatch. During the
fourteen moaths the jmj>er lived he did
all the work—reporting, editing, type
setting, press work and job work. lie
worked seventeen hours a day and
made the Cablegram a model of decency
and enterprise, lie made but one mis
take: he ought to have quit sooner. A
town that would not appreciate work
like that ought to Is- left to its own wav.
I'nfortunatelv the Cablegram attracted
wide attention to the gold Had at Chica

the means that will confer lasting lien
flit on a people incaple of appreciating
