HOW SEATTLE REPAYS ALASKA.

One of the amazing events transpiring in all this Alaskan controversy the that the Commer cal Club of Seattle October IT, honoed and banqueted Clifford Pinchot Fortunately the Commercial Club does the commercial interests of the big city of the north west and quite easy discern the political hand of the nsurgen arranging for this Pnchot boost at which by the Miles Ponexte the dscredited Senator from Washing ton also guest of honor

There is thing upon which Alaska is unitedthat is, the necessity for improvement in methods of transportation Upon matters political may be true that the citizens of the territory unte that true greater less extent all states and nations where people take part in politics. But the matter of improved roads is entirely business matter There why anybody should oppose the movement for better roads; and nobody does.
 In the fact that Aaskans united there is force than most Aaskans may be of The small but noisy political fights in Alaska have created upon Congress and the administration at Washington the general impression that Aaskans anything Fnd out what you want" they have sad agree upon what you and then tell and we will give it to you.'

P|NCHOT VERY
 NICE GIRL

Our former townsman, Dr. F. B. Whiting. who does not believe in mincing words gave out the following characteristic interview upon his ar rival in Seattle:
 Clifford Pinchot is a very nice girl, but when they turned over Alaska to a dreamer like the former chief forester, and an impractical demagague like the junior senator from Washington. we thought it was time for us to leave.
 We liked Walter L. Fisher all right. He has a great deal of real manhood, and although his ideas of government did not coincide with our own. we Alaskans believed that he was at least sincere in his effort to find some solution of the problems that confront the territory. But the volunteer investigators who are now in Alaska--well, I can't speak about them without a feeling of dis gust.
 ''The funny part of it is that the Pinchot press agent, whom the gang immediately nicknamed Doctor Mat thews' because of his pcnchant to preach on things of which he knew nothing, is still trying to make the public believe that Controller bay is a harbor and that Secretary Fisher was fooled by the men who showed him around. Considering that the guides were special agents of the government who had made a special study of the country during a pc riod of many years, there was little opportunity to mislead the cabinet officer even had anybody desired to do so.''
 "It is the general ooncensus of opinion that they are looking for some means to keep the territory tied up and at the same time make more political capital for themselves. Hun dreds of men, who like myself, had waited for years for the day when Alaska would be taken out of the hands of the mountebanks, found the injection of Pinchot and Poindex- ter into the muddle the last straw. We threw up both hands and quit.
 "We couldn't even have any fun at their expense. There's nothing funny about them. A lot of the boys amused themselves at Cordova by getting them into a meeting and asking them embarrassing questions, but the matter was too serious to make jokes about, it seemed.
 ''The Controller bay controversy is the biggest row over nothing that I ever heard of. I consider it one of the greatest farces ever staged in American history. There is no good harbor at Controller bay and every body who ever saw the place knows it.

POSITIVE MIR FISHER.

Secretary of the Interior Fisher of opinions. He does not wait for along and tell him what to think He goes out to learn the facts for himself and then he speaks according to his views and beliefs This is rank heresy in eyes.
 The secretary recently in brisk little talk before the Con- ervation Congress conveyed his opinions topght conservatonis of type that not popular it a few months ago.
 When he returned home to Chicago he took occasion to elaborate his views this subject and when he concluded his offering the following neatly little decaraton
 I described two classes of spurious progressves and said that the real progressive neither the demagogc agator the hypore who takes of progress but opposes political left those shoes to be by any in Kansas elsewhere whose feet they may fit.''
 This sort of language coming from man like Mr. Fisher must have caused gasp of day from the ranks of the conservationist- for political profit only.
 Mr. Fisher does not speak mechanically That the bit erest pill the progressives have to swallow He from the of Pinchotan maladminraon. He knows whereof he speaks.
 Mr. Fisher has shocked egotsca souls who thought they knew all there be known concerning conservation He has given the people food for reflection and independent thought-still another awful heresy
 It is not surprising that he has been criticised with siderable bitterness by selfish interests that have personal for addng upon the West and Alaska the burden ung from the sins of careless and needless generation that has gone before.-Seattle Times.

Now and Then.

1t would be we'll if in every American
city there were retained an exhibit of
the old ways of municipal housekeeping
One block of houses built in the ancient
style, without better means Of illumina-
ton than rush lights; with no street
lamps other than flambeau here and
| there; no pavements; cutters running
full of drainage; slow coaches instead
of street cars; of course no telephone or
telegraph service: no daily papers-in
short, a bit of that good old time for
which some folks are prone to sigh in
regret, forsetful of the discomforts and
dangers and intolerant of the present
Such a sample of old-style city life
would serve an excellent purpose in
causing a keener appreciation of the ad-
vantages of today. There would perhaps
be less grumbling if it were possible to
compare the present with the past in
exact terms, and not merely by reading
old books. Those who complain if an
electric car does not come along inside
of five minutes. and the trip from the
patent Office to Georgetown takes half an
hour instead of twenty-five minutes,
might be sOlaced and rendered less
peevish by an occasional glimpse of the
