The Gateway, in an editorial on the Wickersham matter states: "The outcome of the fight on Wick ersham, therefore, has not been to impeach his ability, honesty or Mness, but rather to emphasize tt-4n, and to establish proof that Senator Nelson is no less dishonest ahan ignorant and malicious" Such statement characterizes tbs writer as being as dishonest and malicious as he would make Sena- tor Nelson appear. It is the height of absurdity to attempt to belittle the opposition to Judge Wicker sham or to attribute to Senator Nelson no other grounds than a petty personal spite for his fight against Wickersham's confirmation. To Senator Nelson, more than any other person in Washington iss Alaska indebted for the legisla- ton which. has been enacted for it's benefit, ard an attempt to be- smirch his character only brands the writer an ingrate, or worse.

The Gateway man has at last come out of his dope dream and re. aiizes that the steamers from Se' attle are not going direct to Sew. ard, and is-urging the Alaska Gen. tral to put on all opposition line There is@ not now, nor ever has been any reason why steamers should go direct to Seward, and Uncle Sam evidently believes that the prompt arrival of mails at in- terior points of more. importance to Alaska than bolstering up the self esteem of Sewardites, so VIC presume that the steamers will continue to make Valdez their first port of call.

terday about seventy-five feet of
cement walk in front of her prop
erty on Oldham avenue This walk
is four feet wide but made of blocks
sixteen inches square. II presents
quite pretty appearance
There are quite a number who
have signed up contracts for walks
but the demand for good walks is
increasing at such rapid rate that
it is with difficulty that the contract
ors can fill their orders This is
a good cause and the Light hopes
that every citizen will exert himself
10 the utmost, if necessary. TO see
that he has done his duty as to his
property and if he does he need have
no fear about his neighbor.
There are many interested in hay
ing their streets the first to have
brick or cement block walks FROM
one end TO the other of the street.
Now which street will be first The
| Light understands that all the prop
erty owners on College ,,street, with
about two exceptions. nave let the
contract for their WALKS to be built
Let those two get in the procession
is the cry of their neighbors.
On Oldham avenue the prOpeft
owners are making ar effort to hav
their street claim the honor of bs
ing the first street to complete the
walks. On other streets contrac
are being closed daily. Let the got
work go on and in Il short tin
Waxahachie will be held up as a
