 PUBLISHING Co. PHoNE MAIN Entered at the Valdez postoice second clas. matter

The editorial writer of the NEWS must have received . shock of some kind at the mass meeting last Thursday, for in his voluminous report of the proceedings he makes gross misstatements. The report states that "the secretary was in. structed to notify the convention at Juneau, that we declined to send delegates for the reason that we had no interests in common with those of other sections of Alaska; that we had elected . delegate to repre- sent us in Washington, and that we did not desire to have anything to do with other affairs than our own." The fact is the secretary was instructed to notify the execu- tive committee of the Juneau con- vention that we declined to send delegates, but that we had previ- ously elected a representative to look after our interest at Washing ton and would instruct him to do all in his power to assist their re- presentative in securing legislation for Alaska. While the meeting was unanimous in the opinion that we should not send delegates to Ju- neau, there was no animosity shown against any other section of the District. The statement that we had nothing in common with any other section of Alaska, is a gross misrepresentation of the sense of the resolutions. The feeling must be attributed to personal req sons. Probably Schneider was not the only one who wanted to take a trip to Juneau.
 
 Some one resident in Valdez has taken upon himself the responsi- bility of sending special dispatch to the daily ALASKAN stating that Valdez has, by a vote, declared it. self in favor of a territorial form of government, and that paper in glowing headlines, makes an an. nouncement to that effect.
 This is wrong and misleading, Valdez has never stood for a terri torial form of government. On the contrary the territorial agita tion here has been dropped by all but . few would-be political graft CTS, and the entire community is devoting its energies to securing a wagon road.
 With a good road leading from Valdez through the Copper river country it will be only a short time until conditions will have % materi- ally changed that Valdez will be found in the front ranks as an ad- vocate for self government, but at present the sentiment is very strong against it.
