AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW
And a little comment th0rOOn in tho nature of n heart Co heart talk with the Governor

In the interesting interview given out by Governor Hoggstt just before he started to Washington, printed in
 the Alaskan oilnst evening, the gover- nor says that "every American citizen
 wants home rule" but be reitsrates that be is opposed to a territorial form
 of government for Alaska. It would be
 interesting 70 know just what kind of home rule the governor would favor for Alaska The matter has been up for discussion for a long time now and no one has ever heard the governor say
 what be favOrs as substitute for the form tha, is not home rule The ter rltorlal form is the form that was supplied 10 all the western, thinly pop ulated districts 10 their formative periods; it was supplied by the national government out of it's wisdom; 1t has been put to the test of many years active operation and all the vast west eru territory has graduated into state hood through it. It was applied 10 Oregon and Washington while yet they were further away from Washington than we are and while the number of folks that lived there was much less thau is tue case here. Wherein is the
 difference, governor? Perhaps the people of Alaska are not equal to the task Of ruling their home ss were the men Of Oregon. Is that iI? The peo- pie of Masks think they can do 1t. But it is hardly fair to say we cannot have territorial government without telling what we msy have in it's stead-seeing

that it Is granted we SHOULD have some form of home rule, President Roosevelt thinks we are all right and could manage the business if we were given a chance. What have you to yroposegOvsrnor?-we are all up ln the air about 1t, Some one has said that if we had home rule those burly corpo- ration would take charge of things and DO. let us have our own way Is that what Is troubling you governor2 We'll, perhaps you may not have heard 1t, but the ugly gossips are saying much the same thing even now. You might have gussed 1t from the questions put to YOU by the man ID Seattle about those riots at Valdez, You told him chat you had secured the prosecution Of one faction promptly aud shall eDdeavor to secure the prosecution of the other ln due time."
 Now don't you see, governor, what a question that plain statement raised? What is DUE time. PROMPTLY for one aud DUE TIME for another-aud only an en- deavor at that, does not sound good to every body who reads that. 1.-the cor poratiOns are 10 be distinguished one from another in this way tbe people would prefer to make the distinction than to allow anyone man among them even fl the one man for the time being chances to be governor to do so. It don't look right to US, governor
 Then again you say the convention at Juneau was not a representative one. Wherein? ? The delegates were every one elected by their constituents-why were they not representative? You say you could have easily controlled the convention if you had been so disposed. If so, what you say about 1t not being representative is true, but the state meut is very seriously questioned You were over at Valdez the day Of the election of the repre- sentatives from that district and in your presence the sO-called anti-HOg- gait ticket was elected It don't look to us as though you could have cOn- troled a convention like that.

WIRELESS FOR ALASKA

In view of the success attained at almost the first call of the man at the box 1t Is a little interesting to refer back to the time, only little more than a year ago, when the newspapers at Faisbauka were clamoring for the establishment by the government of a wireless system in Alaska to meet the constant interruption Of the tele- graph system in the interior. At that time General Greedy, then in command of the signal service, declared 1t could not be done; that the wireless would not work overland; that the tree- covered mountains was an absolute preventative of successful working of the system. The Fairbanks News in sisted that this was not a fact and had at that time been disprOved by exper- iments then recorded. aud called upon the government to give the thing an earnest trial; to send someone in there who would seek the way to find means TO DO rather than to NOT do the thing. This was done last summer and the result Is SUCCESS.
 The value Of this result will be ines tluable throughout the interior, where the long stretches of wire through the woods is sutject to constant interrup- ton, with the resultant interruption of business. With the demonstrated suc- cess of the experiments between Circle

ALL ALASKA
IN A LINE OR TWO

 According to recent reports from the Circle district, DeadwOOd creek is fast becoming one of the busiest places in Alaska. The renewed activity on the creek Is due to the fact that some enterprising miner, not being satisfied that the old bedrock was anything but false one, went to work sinking, and after passing through hard clay for few feet encountered bedrock proper. Onl7 above, Billey Leake's old claim, which was supposed to pc worked out as long ago as 1896, McIntyre and Gus Chisholm have just washed up dust to the value of S75O from an area of l2xl2. The new pay body is far richer one than was the old. Leake is said to have made several for tunes out of his property in the early days.
 The gold is of dirty clayey appear snce and Is very coarse.
 
 JIG. Cornell, latest ar ival in Nome from the Jnnoko, states that although there are many things for the miners to contend with iu the new country such as shortage of water on the bench es and too much in the c eek, a large amount of work is in progress and the Innoko may develop some good proper ties.
