IGNORANCE AS TO ALASKA.

"If you fellows up in Alaska would get your - territory off the map of tbe United States would be thankful"
 The above is the remark of member of congress made last winter in Washington. The gentleman elaborated his statement by copious explanations. He held that Alaska an utterly unimportant part of the United States, with only 1000 people, and he asked that we mind our affairs and leave congress wrestle with far important matters. The United States he said, had Porto Rico Hawaii and the Philippines to deal wth and these needed constant supervision; congress and the adminisra- ton had a hundred weghtv problems to solve; there was the Panama canal route and the Nicaragua route the ship subsidy bill and the oeomai igarine measure, trust and antitrust legislation, besides the demands for special legislation from every other state and territory of the Union
 The non-integent and ill-informed gentleman who guilty of making many foolish and un called-or statements writes himself down He does not know that Alaska has a greater natve-born American population than any of the ''colonies" of the United States and yet for years it has been the most neglected and we yet without a voice in congress. There is small doubt that many of the men who make up the congress of the United States would gladly get rid of if they could do quietly and without leaving the impression that they were unpariotic and un-American.
 What is Alaska to the United States Let us see. With our of 600O0O square miles, and yet without interior transportation facilities, it has produced since the purchase from Russia in 1867 more than $50 100000, and is annually contributing from it's natural between SIC, ;, 100000 and $l500O0OO to the wealth of the country.
 The people of Alaska will compare favorably with those of any state territory. There is smaller percentage of lliteracy among its inhabitants, is shown by the last census report
 The ignorance of the great majority of the people concerning Alaska is stupendous Its depth is almost unfathomable since consider ourselves enlight- ened and intelligent people, It is with the pro foundest regret that we observe that Philippine mussuman or boloman is worthy of more considera- ton and solictude than reeborn American citi- zens in Alaska.

WE ADD TO OUR OWN CUP OF SORROW.

It is related that in the appointment of judge to succeed Judge Arthur H. Moves in this judicial division President Roosevelt expressed his determn ation to appoint man to the position that knew nothing fabout Alaska factional quarres. If this be President Roosevelt erred in opinion upon but point. His desire to appoint man who knew nothing of Alaska's perpetual nternecne warfare is to be commendcd but that the appointee should know nothing about Alaska, it seems to us, is not altogether fair to the district it's people The truth of the matter is that we have had too many mon who appointed to federal offices in Alaska whose ignorance of the country it's conditions and its people most profound.
 The NUGGET does wish to be misunderstood in this matter In the last issue of this paper we took the ground that hereafter federal officials for the district should only be appointed from Alaska. The reasons were set forth at length. The district is rapidly becoming permanently populated and in the future, submit, it will not be necessary to per pstuate the carpet bag system So far are concerned in this section of the territory, could reasonably expect to have had appointments made from among actual residents. Conditions were too and chaotic; but these rapidly passing away.
 What need now is peace, not only among the officials of the government but among the people as well. We need unity of purpose and we require an
 
 We have had the latter for some time past but we have been short the former commodity. If we do not try to help ourselves we can expect but little from Washington And we have not shown that diligence and circumspeetlon in regard to our own condition that community should. And we have suffered in consequence, and will continue to partake of the cup of and add disappointment to disappointment until we learn the lesson that in unity only there is strength.
 We have quarrel with officials, federal or other wise who do their duty, but it may be laid down as . tenable proposition that officials who do not owe their appointment to merit and local influence and only partly responsible to the community for their official acts are often indifferent to the demands of its citizens, and their indifference is source of irritation and just complaint. We believe, therefore that the public service in Alaska would be benefited if all the federal officers chosen from among the people who directly interested.

President Roosevelt visited Charleston, S. C., not withstandng the Booker Washington episode and the hostility of Senator Tlman, and received a magnificent reception from the Southerners.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE
NARROW GAUGE.
COLORADO SPRINGS GAZETTE.

f..
There will be a general sentiment
of regret in Colorado, and especial
ly among the old-timers, at the dis
appearance of the narrow gauge
system of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad. For many years
in Colorado, Veta pass and Mar
shall pass, the Black canon of the
Gunnison and Toltec gorge have
been words of magic meaning with
power to conjure up visions of all
that is grand and beautiful in
mountain engineering. There is
even memory that goes back of
these things to a time when the
Baby road was all baby and Colo
RADIO Springs and Pueblo drew
their immigrants over the narrow
gauge.
Such sentimental considerations,
however, will not prevail for more
than a moment. against the very
obvious advantages of the broad
gauge system. The disappearance
of the narrow gauge began when
the third rail stretched itself out of
Denver, and it has been continu-
ing ever since. The opening of the
main transcontinenta line through
to Grand Junction, some 10 years
ago, involved the broadening and
Strengthening of the line through
the Grand canon of the Arkansas
and the building of the tunnel at
Tennessee pass and restricted the
narrow gauge system principally to
the area broadly known as the San
Juan, but including also the San
Luis and the Gunnison districts.
Now the time has come when
railway magnates and the people
generally believe that the broad
gauge line is a practical and
economical necessity. The remote
mining camps have become centers
of industrial activity and of social
accomplishment. The valleys and
the plains across which the rail
way builders pushed their lines
have been changed from primeval
wilderness to productive orchards
and farms. The short curves, the
heavy grades and the small loads of
the narrow gauge are unsuitable to
the amount of business now to be
handled, and the invasion of the
main valley of the Gunnison by
the broad gauge lines signals the
change that will make standard
gauge in a few years the invaria-
BILE rule throughout the state.
Like the buffalo, the narrow
gauge locomotive and the narrow
gauge sleeping car will soon be but
memories of the past, but the
memory of them will linger with a
charm that the broad gauge cannot
supply.
