WHAT GOV HoooATT SAID

As Gov Hogga,t was mjsquoted in Inc press dispatches aS to his state ment concerning the supporters Of ter ritoriaI government in Alaska it is only fair that his exact language be given. usi entire letter was printed in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of Decemberl2. The particular state meut in question reads as follows:
 Nowhere in the United States is life and property more secure than in Alaska. Nowhere that order prevails as it does in that country, and these things are due primarily to the respect which our people have for the federal judiciary. A large portion oi the agi. tation for territorial government comes from the saloon element in Alaska, which k desirouS of decreasing the burdens now imposed upon that busi- ness and at the same time obtain a greater liberty than they now have ID the conduct of their business. Another large portion comes from the demagogic statement that our people are deprived at some of the essential rights of citizenship, with which take a decided issue"

SQUARE DEAL TWISTED

Tit is not miSprision of treason or bad form to inquire why the president turned the letter of Delegate Waskey, written at his request to give him in- formation about Alaska, over to Gov. Hoggatt tn be blue-penciled, the answer would gratify the curiosity of some inquisitive persons in the terri tory who believe in the square deal. They want to know if the explanation is that the square deal, like the con- stitution, has not followed the flag to Alaska.
 The president asked both Waskey and Hoggatt to write their views as to Alaska's most vital legislative needs. Each did so but Waskey'S letter was submitted to the governor for criti- cism and attack before any of che documents were given out. The gov ernor's letter was not submitted to the delegate and every possible advantage was given to the governors side of the controversy in placiug the subject be- fore the public. It is to be hoped that the president and the governor are not offended at the ssndbagging their opinions have received from the people of Alaska.
 Apparently the president believes that his governor, selected on the ad- vice Of a corporation lobbyist, has a monopoly of knowledge about Alaska, furnished by the handful of corpora tions which dictated his appointment. Therefore he accepts the governors dictum and ignores the suggestions of two men who received a majority of all the votes cast in the territory at the delegate election. The square deal seems to lose it's rectangular em- bodiment when applied to Alaska.

TO "MY DEAR THEODORE"

You need never be afraid to consult the people of Alaska or their duly chosen representatives when you want information regarding the terri tory. If that information should hap pen to conflict with advice given by your two or three chosen counsel for the territory you are respectfully re- ferred to the platforms on which the various candidates for delegate from Alaska ran last August.
 Far be it from the people of Alaska to fall as low in executive esteem as Maria and Bcllamy have fallen, but if you really want to know, Mir. PreSi- dent, who's who in Alaska, or who isn't who, just glance this way for a minute about fifteen months hence when the solid business interests of your chosen friends and Alaska agents tackle trc agiDators and demagogucs m the territorial conventions of 1908.

FRANK YOUNGS BOOSTS
 THE YENTNA IN SEATTLE
Finds Great Deal of Interest in New Gold District Among Mining
 Men in That City.

Seattle, Dec. -Correspondence of the Gateway Frank Youngs, repre- sentative of the Seward chamber of commerce in Seattle and other coast cities, is stimulating interest in the Yentna and other tributaries of the Susitna. He has taken up headquar- ters at the Hotel Northern. One day he had by actual count lifty-siX in- quiries in person, and the majority of the inquirers said they intended going to the Yenna. Mir. Youngs says he believes several hundred will go in through Seward this winter, and that fully 25OO prospcctors and settlers "ill go i'm next spring and summer

The Seattle Trade Register admits that Portland seems likely to succeed ID establishing line of regular steam CTS Co Alaska, and philUSophically remarks that the business is getting SO big that there is enough to go around among several cities.

 The Tacoma Ledger urges Tacoma % come out of her trance and make a hustle for a slice of Alaska trade, making the argument, which is not new, that Tacoma alone of all north western cities can compete with Seat rle on even terms for Alaska business.

SOLID BUSINESS INTERESTS

And now comes NJ. J. Heney, rail road contractor and corporation agent, and adds his testimony to the assertion of the governor that the "solid busi- ness interests" of Alaska are opposed to territorial governmedt. But with the same subhmation of belief in his ability to impose his dictum upon popular credulity without calling for corroboration, that the governor dis plays, he refrainS from naming or describing any of these "Solid business interests"
 Popular curiosity k somewhat aroused concerning the identity ol these solid business intereStS,' which are never cited by name. Gov.

Jarvis, a lobbyist of the Guggenheim copper trust who's. component parts live ju Sew York except when one of them choose, Co designate 30 residence Jn another state in which a senaror,hlp Is sor sale.
