"KoYUKUK" is a name offer spoken nowadays. People from Nome and St. Michael, Fairbanks and Cinema, the outside and Daw- son all have something to say about the country, and many evidently would not be surprised to hear that something great has been uncovered there.

FAIRBANKS IV DISTRESS.

Fairbanks, June 25. Secretary of War Taft, Washington, D. C. Two hundred soldiers idle at Fort Gibbon. Eight million of dust at the creeks unprotected. Miners can't use public highway without being robbed. Help us. ALBERT WHITE,
 Secretary Pioneers and Prospectors.
 According to the Fairbanks News the above is copy of telegram which was to be sent W hen the wire was repaired.
 It is the best joke originating in Alaska since Valdez threatened to go over to Canada. It is unbeliev- able that the secretary of war or any other high official will take it seriously or give it further notice than that of passing curiosity.
 Eight thousand Americans send ing help-me- -Cassius- or -I-sink ap- peal to Washington because lone Swede calls hands up" Let the war office send them d consignment of pe-ru-na.
 Eight million of dust at the creeks unprotected": good deal of dust that. and to direct the world $ attention to i, in a sensational man ner is logical advertising-and so the extremely nervous manifesto tions of the Fairbanks public may be accounted for.
 But there is more serious side to the Fairbanks situation. when rightly viewed. which is brought into distinct importance by the happenings in that distric, within the past two months. The thou sands of people there have no law ful means within themselves for protection when emergencies arise. In case of really great danger only two courses are open appeal to Washington or organize vigilance committees. Of the two the last is the least objectionable.

NOT ENCOURAGING

The Skagway Alaskan has prob ably had more to say than any o:her paper favoring political rights for Alaska. The papers princi- pies have been unexceptionable but it at last seems to realize that it has accomplished little practical good. If the Alaskan will foregO the assumption that eastern leaders are misinformed regarding this ter ritory it will get at the full truth ol the matter, which is very nearly approached in the following recent editorial:
 The outlook for legislation that would cause abatement of the rest lessness that permeates the civic life of Alaska is not good There is little ill the interviews that are being given out by senators and repres entatives in congress about Alaskan legislation and the subject matters considered at the confer. ences of national legislators that have taken place down at Seattle and elsewhere in the States to en- courage hope that there will be a recognition of the right of the peo- pie to self government or popular representation. In fact, speaker Cannon, Senator Hemenway, Rep. resentative Tawney and other na. tional leaders seem opposed to the idea that the people of this district are entitled to representation at all They have intimated that it is now pretty well represented by the lobby and the Seattle delegation at the national capital. The idea is ire quently expressed by those who shape national policies that if any change is made it should be in the appointmrnt by the president, tho governor or some other authority of a commercial agent. None O them is disposed to recognize tho right of a people to regulate theil own affairs as being applicable tc Alaska.
 Instead of making use of ,heil hurried visits to this district to as certain that there are American, here. whose numbers are thousands who desire to exercise their natura righs to home rule. lawgivsrs come in the attitude oi physicians visit ing a sick patient, and each old doctor ptescribes different physic When one of our citizens sugget'
