StraWS.

At Seward the chamber of commerce met and endorsed Waskey's course in urging self government, and at the same time severely criticised Hoggatt for say ing that only the saloon element and demagogues favor such measure
 The middle of December all classes of Nome people, including labor organiza- tions, were arranging to hold mass meeting and endorse Waskey and home rule, and incidentally to rebuke Hog gait.
 Waskey and Gale are as one as far as territorial government fer Alaska is If there is any difference between them on any other question the interests of the territory it has not materalized.
 Up to the present time each of them has justified the confidence placed in him by the voters.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Is, 1907.

ON July 1, 1904, Judge Wickersham delivered self-government speech at Fairbanks that would make good litera- ture in the mock campaign now being carried on in advocacy of territorial government for Alaska. In the speech Judge Wickersham did what no other office holder, or would-be office holder, in Alaska has done: he gave facts from the Congressional Record showing that the law-making power at Washington contemplated no different condition for the "distrct" than the one then and now imposed upon it; and foretold that the time was near when Alaskans would resent being held as mere dependents by the United States. So far as we know that was the first home-rule speech delivered in the interior of Alas ka, and it is refreshing to remember that the real iasue in the case--the re- lation of the outlying territory to the United States-was not evaded then as it is in most of the later sef-govern- ment talk
Yukon Valley news., 1907-01-16

versity sometimes comes on fellow from so many sides at once and attacks him with such tremendous force that it turns him into a corpse before he has time to hit lick in self defense; and in that case we should magnanimously allow that the doctor has given him an overdose of an excellent tonic.

rnent talk.

BARE mention is made in the news papers of the fact that the case of Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, formerly in the corps of army engineers, has been reopened in the federal court at Chicago. There is doubtless some benefit to the culprit in contemplation. He has always had some powerful influence at work in his behalf. In charge of river and harbor improvements around Savannah, Ga., he embedded million dollars and planned to escape to Morocco and live happy ever after with a paramour who abetted him in the crime.
