The territorial papers are beginning
to squirt little jets of ink at Governor !
Hoggatt because be is opposed to Cale
and Waskey and other people’s ideas of
self government for Alaska. Having
accepted office under an administration
he knew to be opposed to home rule for
the territory, it is our opinion that the!
governor would prove himself an ass to
side with Cale and Waskey. Cale and
Waskey are supposed to represent the
people and do what they were elected to
do. The governor represents the admin
istration and bis business is to make the
the government of Alaska as successful
as possible along the lines marked out
by his creatois. Aside from all this,
Governor Iloggatt doubtless knows that
the kind of self government that would
be likely to be granted for some time to
come would be no improvement over the
present faulty system of government
by departmental agents.
President Roosevelt is coming in for
plenty of roasting for sending a special
message to congress recommending the
admission of Japs to citizenship. The
message, as well as the federal attempt
to force the admission of Japs into state
schools, will strengthen the republican
administration in Japan’s estimation,
but will weaken it at home.
Ex-Governor Swineford will estab
lish a new paper at Ketchikan, and the
Mining Journal will issue daily as soon
as tne cable is laid to that place. It
looks like it will la* a case of too much
work and too little pay in Ketclikan
newspaperdom.
If the Chaudlar strike but hastens
the establishment • >f telegraph service
along tlie Yukon above Rampart it will
lie a great step forward in the develop
ment of tlie valley. The shipping in
terests are badly in need of such service.

20,000 FIRE
AT FAIRBANKS
Fairbanks, Dec. 17.—A loss of $25,000
resulted from a fire which bruke out
in the Model eafe shortly after 8 o’eloek
yesterday morning.
The detailed losses are Capewell &
Phinn, owners of the Model eafe, $0,000!
Ed. Friedman, gents’ furnisning goods,
$7,000; Sol Bloom, proprietor of the
hardware store, $1,000; Owl Drug Co.,
$5,000; buildings owned by Charles E.
Clay pool, J. Tod Cowles and W. D.
Gross, $0,000.
The fire is supposed to i[ave been
caused by the torning over of a lamp
used by the restaurant in heating the
coffee urn, which is always kept hot by
this means.
CHRISTMAS TREE
AT HOT SPRINGS
They had a very pretty Christinas
tree at Hot Springs.
There are not many children in the
place, but it was very wisely determined
that a Christinas tree would beunworthy
of the day unless juvenile presents pre
dominated, and the tree was arranged
accordingly.
Among the varied assortment of dolls
were two of the si wash kind, which
went one each to respectable married
men.
Cy Noble was the Santa Claus, and it
is openly charged that he shifter! the
tags and thereby kept the siwashes
from falling to himself and Dad Foster.
A big time is contemplated for St.
Patrick’s day at the Springs, and if the
plans are carried through there will be
visitors from as far away as Fairbanks.
