From time to time we may
roast some of our own people,
but that is our business. We al
ways know what we are talking
about, and just what to say. But
outside papers must keep hands
off. They know absolutely no
thing about our people, our cleo
ton Judges or other conditions of
the town, nor anything about the
various legal squabbleS we have
had to protect our interests, and
any disrespectful remark from
them will be resented.

The Missouri State Board of

The report reflects great credit

To the Editor of the Citizen:
Next Tuesday evening being the
date of the regular meeting of the
Fairbanks Section of the American
Mining Congress. | wish to take
this occasion to urgently request
the presence of all members. Much
legislation for this territory is nov
before congress. and. the legislative
committee OF our organization be
ing stationed at Washington pushing
legislation proposed at the last an
nual convention. we have an excel
lent opportunity to inform them of
our views regarding the proposed
laws and enlist their aid for or
against the same.
The American Mining Congress is
recognized as one of the most ef-
ficient. influential and impartial or
CARNATIONS of the United States.
and their recommendations have
great weight Ii is without doubt
| the most powerful and unselfish
friend the miners and prospecj,rs
of the West have. We should
therefore recommend to the Mining
Congress the laws we consider best
fitted to relieve our most urgent
needs. and promote the development
of our resources
Considering the fact that our pop
ulation is entirely dependent upon
our mines the membership of the 10
cal section is very small. and we
hereby urgently invite everyone in

BEAUTIFUL ALASKA,

A few weeks ago We printed a
dispatch from Seattle which inferred
that Delegate Wickersham. after
having practically promised to bury
the Ratchet and try the get-together
policy. had launched forth in inyec-
tive against the Guggenheims at the
St Paul land show. He was quot
/ ed as asking his audience to Come
down to Washington and help fight
the Guggenheims"
The following editorial from one
of the ST. Paul papers gives no in
] dication that the delegate made
any such remarks. although it can
+ easily be imagined how the utter
ances referred to in the last par
graph might have been twisted to
give that impression by those an
tasonistic to him.
The editorial was as follows,
Giving out the inference that Sc
attic would not be in existence if il
were net for Alaska. Judge James
/ Nlckersham. delegate to congress
/ from that territory, differed with a
/ speaker from Washington state whom

the section he represented.
while my friend from Washing
ton told you of the fine qualities
of his state he said, land men

the amount of money in gold dust

the most beautiful in the world,
Mount Mckinley, the highest noun
tain in America, and resources to
care for millions of people. We
have more coal in Alaska than can
! be found in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia combined"
Judge Wickersham gave a detail
ed account of the productivity of
the Tanana valley. He said that
Alaska has more territory than Fin
land, Norway and Sweden, with a
combined population of more than
! l0.00O,OO0, that the soil of each coun-
try was capable of producing the
food for the support of its people
and that Alaska can support mere
than 100000 persons
Judge Wickersham asserted that
many persons who had been to
Alaska had been only as far as
Skagway and were not pleased with
the country because they failed to
visit the garden spots. The glac-
iers, he said. are all on the south
coast and in the valley to the north
the rainfall is no greater than in
Arizona and New Mexico, and if it
was not for peculiar condition
that exists the valley would be an
arid desert.
In telling of the fertile soil of
the Tanana valley, the speaker said:
The ground in this valley is
frozen from the top to bedrock, but
the warm winds in their season
blow through the valley and thaw
the soil to distance of ten or
twelve feet, and with the rain that
comes from the south coast the fin
est crops can be raised"

MUST COMPLY With LAW
State Highway Commission informs
. Bayfield, County on Expenditure
Of Money for New Roads.

Madison The Bayfield, county
board has beensinformed by the state
highway commission that all money
on new road work must be spent in
compliance with the terms of the
law. Before any further advance is
made, said the commission, the main
tenance of the whole system must be
abandoned by the county and the
county money confined to making
certain definite improvements. The
1912 state money will be allotted to
the county when it selects and i'm
proves certain specific pieces of road
work or bridges with it's money.
Acting Highway Commissioner A..
r. Hirst wrote that the road work
he saw is not high class and that the
lack of success is due mainly to the
fact that the money has been spent
by scattering it each. year over all
the county systems.
The state highway commission has
issued a statement showing the to-
tai expenditures of it's department for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1912,
were $37,555.69. The general ex-
penditures were s9,73O.88; road de-
partment, $10,935.03; bridge de-
partment, $7,S40.99, and experiment
tai roads, $9,O48.79.
