PULL TOGETHER.
Indication on the part of Anchorage people that they would
like to confer with Seward on matters of mutual benefit would
be a step in the right direction. Some radicals in each place
have suggested the finish of the other, hut this is not the right
viewpoint. There is no desire on the part of the firmly estab
lished men of Seward to make Anchorage a whistling point for
through trains, nor should there he any desire on the part of
Anchorage to grab everything in sight in the way of govern
ment establishments.
'The proper development of the territory can only come
with equal recognition of the various centers of industry of the
rights and advantages of the others. Cordova is and always
will be the center of distribution for a rich mineral section and
Valdez occupies a similar position of importance. Anchorage
has both mineral and agricultural to depend upon, wThile Sew
ard possesses all requirements for the center of future fishing
activities, the establishment of a great naval base and is the ter
minal of the government railroad.
The foregoing editorial is from the columns of the Seward
Post, and The Times heartily concurs in the sentiments expres
sed. There can be no question whatever but that both commu
nities would be the better for less bickering and less knocking,
one toward the other. May we suggest to our esteemed contem
porary that, in order to put into practice the precepts that it
preaches, it cease its fight against harbor improvements at
Anchorage, while Anchorage, in turn, does what it can toward
the establishment of a great naval base at Resurrection bay?
This town is facing a famine in the matter of two essential
commodities—coal oil and gasoline. The supply on hand is so
limited that if the electric lights are not soon available for use,
the most of us will be obliged to resort to the old, reliable can
dle. We are assuming that there are some candles in the com
munity. Failing in that, why the tallow dip is always availa
ble,—that is, if there is tallow in town. If there is no tallow for
dips, we can find consolation in our darkness and gloom in the
fact that another metropolis in the old country—London—has
no lights, although other causes lead to the enforced d_arkness
that prevails in the English community.
Valdez, the pioneer community of any considerable size in
southwestern Alaska, has been visited by another conflagra
tion that has wiped out.its principal business section. This
good old town has been the victim of four fires that have laid
waste a goodly portion of its business section. Rut as before,
Valdez will rise from its ashes and wTill be better than ever. It
appears that the latest conflagration is the work of an incendi
ary. It is hoped that he will be found and given the extreme
penalty of the law. It is no fault of his that many people were
not burned to death.
We publish today a detailed re}K>rt of the townsite mana
ger with respect to the recent assessment levied against lots in
this townsite. The report throws light on a subject and comes
in response to the demand for detailed information. With this
information available to lot owners, they are info lined as to
how the funds derived from assessments are expended.

A compilation of the official vote
for the Third division, as received at
the office of the clerk of the court,
with the Bristol bay precincts and
Reindeer and Bonanza missing, shows
that Ronan has won the election for
territorial senator by 144 votes over
John Frame, his nearest competitor.
In the vote for members of the terri
torial legislators Frank Cannon leads
the list, but late returns have ousted
C. M. Day from this position in second
place which is now occupied by T. C.
Price. The third and fourth places
are taken by C. M. Day and Thomas
Holland, respectively, the latter hav
ing overtaken Murray’s lead in the
last returns and is now leading him
by seven votes. The returns from Un
aska, Chignik and Unga also added
100 votes to Wilson’s poll for road
commissioner, leaving him nine in ad
vance of Wood, who was previously in j
the lead. The total vote of the divi-;
sion so far received is as follows:
For delegate—Lewis 488, Sulzer
1680, Wickersham 1965.
For attorney-general—Cobb 1091,
Grigsby 1773, Schofield 820.
For territorial senator—Dooley 955,
Frame 1010, German 739, Uonan 1154.
For territorial legislature—Cannon
1822,Day 1370, Hegner 775, W. J.
Henry 513, W. P. Henry 846, Holland
1221, Hunter 806, McCallum 1190,
Murray 1214, Noon 1183, Price 1371.
For road commissioner—Dieringer
430, Jeter 1047, Wilson 1085, Wood
1076.
For prohibition—2547.
Against prohibition—1370.
For Eight-hour day—3024.
Against eight-hour day—369.
It is believed that any further re
turns which may come in before the
canvassing board meets will be un
likely to change the present results.
This makes the legislative ticket
from the Third division composed of
one democratic senator and one pro
gressive, O. P. Hubbard, holdover
member, and three democratic and one
progressive members of the legisla
ture.
GOVERNMENT TRAIN PAYS
SAYS MEARS IN SPEECH
At a dinner given him by the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, Captain Fred Mears.
on December 11 spoke as follows:
“This winter,” Capt. Mears said, ^
“there will be employed, principally
along the Turnagain arm, a force of
approximately 1,000 men. Besides the
work above enumerated there has
been constructed about four and one
half miles of sidings, terminal yards
at Anchorage, and permanent head
quarters and other structures, and
there is now assembled practically all
of the equipment required for the con
struction of the entire line also, and
progress from now on will be rapid
Capt. Mears also said that the
velopment along the line completed
has been more rapid than anything its
advocates anticipated, requiring the
operation of a daily passenger train
out of Anchorage until just recently,
when it was changed to a tri-weekly
service. The income from passengers
and freight, lie said, has paid the run
ning expenses of this train, resulting
in a haulage of material for the rail
road construction without cost.
