GOOD NEWS FOR ALASKA
Seattle Pos, lutsllIEsncsrl

Seattle Pos, lntelligsncsr.l
 President Roosevelt has Illustrated anew hls keen lut,rss, ln the Paoif, coast, and his Intelligent understanding of our needs. He wlll urge upon congress, ln his ueSt message, the necessity Of extending the land laws and the system of public sur vsys to the district Of Alaski. h order that the resources Of that vast region m y be adequately developed.
 He sees and he states that the needs Of Alaska have received but scant consider I,Ion In th. past; that it has been unfair to the people of the tis,riat to withhold from them what has been freely accorded to every other territory Of the United States; that there Is an opportunity fer. agriculture In Alaska, lf there are afforded means Jy which ,ltls to public lands can be obtained; and he does not propose tha. such a condition of affairs shall continue | nger, if he can. do anything toward re- medvlng t.
 lt Is therefore given ou, that Alaska and lis needs wIll receive a full measure ot space To the presidents rext message, anc that, lf the president c,n guide legislation, Alaska will have fair and llbgal treatment, to the end that the development and growth of the district may be advanced.
 All that the president has to say upon this subjs,t has been said before, but merely by residents of the P.eihc coast. The former presidents have had a hary Idea that were some portions Of the Unltsd States whish lay west of the A. lsghsny mountains, psopled by a ra'hs' undesirable class of men, a5Ou, whom e knew little and larsd less. Alaska, Co him. was simsly a place up9n which it was possible Co unload some lnSlsient oHicssssksrs for whom it was necessary to provide.
 President Roossvsl, understands Alas ka's needs, as he understands most Ques- tons presented To the far West, because he has an Intelligent sympathy with and comprehension of the wss, and Of Is peO- pls.

AND PILOTS
 MAKE DEMANDS
[Continued from Page I.l

"Thls means from 5000 to s4SOo addl- t!onal expense every trip. The snoImlty Is at once plain to one Of average peresp- ton. By figuring on a months time at thls extra expense per trip, some knowl- edge may bs gained as to the consequences
 "lf the demands shall b' conceded lt will undoubtedly mean fewer steamers and the rates win no doubt advance. This would probably cause all commodities to advance in pres likewise.
 "Ths only possible way that the strike can be averted Is by the companies eonesd- ing the demand, and. Instead of having two shifts as now, Increasing the number to three, whl.h win bring the additional expense up 80 per cent. additional, which you'd bs much less than paying sl per hour over tlms."
 The strike will effect every American steamer running to Sk1gway Valdez Nome and from Seattle to eoas,wlse points.

PecuiIarities Of Russian Winters. There Is one curious thing about a Russmn winter-in the latter part of october or the beginning of November the weather will be as mildns it Is here In September. Not sign con be seen of an approaching change, when sudden ly, without any apparent warning, a light haze win be seen in the northern sky. and in twenty-four hours the thermomcter may fan 30 degrees. The change is SO sudden and violent that travellers are frequently frozen to death before they can gain shelter.
 It bas occurred that farmers out looking after their hocks have been caught in one of these bllzzards and, missing their way home, have lost their lives. their bodies remaining un- der the snow until the following spring. The suddonness of a Dakota blizzard Is well known In the northwestern part of our country, butit Is tardiness personlfed when compared with the apldity with which Russian winter storm comes on.

ADMITS THE CHARGE.

The Douglas Island News frankly ad- mlts that ln opposing sslf-gOysmmsnt for Alaska lt Is serving the hand that feeds lt' |. seeks to justify lts course by intimliIng that the Daily Alaskan Is doing lIkewIs-. and suggests tns, perhaps the White Pass & Yukon Is the Influence which has ln- duosd the Daily Alaskan to champion the principles for which the fathers oi the American nation tough, the war Ot rsvolu- tlon.
 Of course Che News, as it always d,es' when R trl.s Co handle any quss Ion' makes Itself ridiculous. lis absurilty can be fully appreciated when lt Is borne In mind that the discussion was introduced by comment made by the Daily Alaskan upon a statement made by the News that 10 was not rsldv to turn Alaska over to the politicians |, Intended thIs as an ar- gumsnt against territorial goy,mmsnt' he Daily Al1skin followed this assertion with the statement Jhit ",h. expression of the News onlv shows how low som people will s.oop h their ssrvils trucking to the hand ,hl, feeds them"
 Of course, anyone ,xc-p, the News woulI understand that the absuidI,v Of the News statement Induced the comment by the Daily Allsk,n. The fact thl; those who favor self-govsmmsnt are en- 5savorinE to take the government of Alas ka out of the hands of the politicians md place e with the people where it belongs. Is so patent that for one Co reverse things leaves onlv one of two conclusions. The man who a,tsmgts it is either fool or Is Influenced by y.ul,erlor motives The Dliiy Alaskan took it for granted that a man who lad sense enough Co condutt nsws paper Is not fool
 So lar as the position Of those connected with the White Piss are concerned, the Daily Alaskan knows nothing of thslr po- sI,Ion or any public question that con- fronts the North. The only OficIal of that company who has expressed an opinion, 80 far as Is known Go this paper, thought the Interests of his company are safer un- der existing conditions than thsv would be had the people the power 5f legis.ating
