HARMONY IN LEGISLATIVE ELECTION

As there political issues to be fought out by the
newly created Legislative assembly it would that the
first territorial election might be carried without strife
bitterness with the sole idea of sending to Juneau who
would honestly and ntegenty represent the best thought
motives and desires of the people of Alaska If the voters of
the several divisions get together and obiteate poll
ties it is possible that higher standard of craftsmanship
be secured and that the body will such legislation
will be fair to all interests and be devoid of obbery and
fair corporate influence Then again is important that the
two houses when in session during the months of March and
April do only those things and make only such needed and
reasonable recommendations to Congress shall tend to
confidence in the minds of the national law makers in
the of the Legislature and the business of their
demands When that condition is brought about then will
there be strong probability of securing enlarged powers and
wider scope for our Legislative assembly.
We realize the difficulty which would be met with in the
effort to bring about partisan expression from the voters
There will be many each political party who may insist upon
party nominations and that idea may eventually prevail In
that event there would be feefor ALL and contestants
The result would be uncertain But each party would insist
upon nominating it's strongest and most available then
the good of the territory would not be sacrificed in
for the successful candidates would labor behalf Of the pub
lie good In the forthcoming election each division will fight
it's battles. In the third DIVISION whether nominations
be made the bipartisan plan by political parties each
section should be accorded its fair representation Cordova

THE FREIGHT STATION
WILL NOT BE CHANGED

The order recently issued by
Superintendent Geiger, and to- be eff
fective September first, changing the
freight station of the Copper River
and Northwestern railway from tho
station at Second street to the dock,
a mile out of town, has been rescind-
ed. When announcement of the Or
der was made, meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held and
"a protest voted against the change.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the officials of the company,
with the idea that discussion of the
matter and setting forth the dis
advantages that would result to the
merchants of town, would be suf-
ficient to induce a reversal of the
order. AS Supt. Geiger has been
cut the line most of the time since
the meeting of the Chamber it has
not been possible for the commit
tee to get a personal conference
other than to briefly discuss the mat
ter over the telephone. The Superin-
tendent, however, had evidently TAX
en- up the object, for this morning
M. Finkelstein, chairman of the COM
mittee, received letter stating that
no change would be made for the
present. And as consequence the
people of town are today rejoicing
and again view the railroad with all
their old-time friendly feeling.

CITY OPERATING COAL MINES

There wide discussion sections OF the country
over the plan Secretary of the Interior Fisher to have cities
engage operation of coal Very few newspapers
look with much favor the plan One of them has the follow
ing to say on the subject:
Secretary Fisher has plan for granting to each OF the
cities in the public land states of land IN
order that those critics enter the experiment OF mum
cpay conducted coal But Secretary Fisher considers
it necessary this be done that there should be retained in
the hands of the federal certain amount OF federal
supervision that the city will develop the coal
without waste and with due regard to the health and safety OF
the mne also that all transactions of the city be given the
fullest publicity to prevent opportunity for corporation
abuses etc. 1t is queer dea not only in its original FORM
but with its suggestions for federal regulation 1t shows the
singular obsesson which conservaonists have that
nothing be done properly under direction of federal
bureau Washington City, conducted by lot of civil service
clerks necessarily familiar with conditions any part of
the country the particular states from which they
appointed. ia.4 ,5a,ft "a ses.7s,a.
''The federal government holding lands in a state
trustee for the people of that state might properly grant
tract of coal land to city 1t would do far better in fact
if it withdrew entirely from its position resident land
lord and turned all Of the public lands to the states where
in they situated But that the people of city, people
located the ground not competent to attend to their
affairs conduct their business of any kind without the
supervision and direction of civil service clerk from
Washington City, is rather absurd Pncho ideas always have
had strong hold Secretary Fisher although he has had
too much to follow the former forester his political
gyraons, and remains loyal Republican,

hope and charity, but the best of
these was charity. Circulate it
widely"
While in the North Father Vau-
CHAN was the guest at a banquet
at which the menu was made up
of bear pie, caribou steak, moose
tenderloin, leg of mountain sheep,
grouse, wild duck, salmon. crab and
trout, and the chef was a Chinese
and the waiter Japanese. The
venerable priest, who, when he is
in England, labors among the slums
of London, became a musher, went
up and down the creeks among the
miners and preached to them. He
lectured in dozen mining towns,
speaking on wide range of sub
jects, though he says some phase of
socialism was the theme that he was
asked to discuss most frequently in
the Coast towns. Any man who was
ready to take off his coat and put
his back into his work was well
come.
He mingled with the natives and
says he found them singularly cour-
teous, reverential and truthful. He
was touched by the piety of the
Catholic members of the tribes and
says they compare favorably with
the whites of his country in their
simple, fervent practices of relig-
ion. He preached to them, he re-
ceived some of them into the
church and officiated at their we'd
dings.
Father Vaughan says he found
the Catholic church doing good
work, Jealous work, among the ma
tives and whites, the priests self
sacrifice in their devotion often ris-
ing to quiet heroism. One priest
he found mending his own clothes
and cooking his food. He found it
cost more to live in the North than
it does in London, but if living
comes high, he said, wages in the
Klondike were correspondingly
skyward. Fancy a gardner on an
Englishman's estate getting dol
lar an hour. Father Vaughan found
one near Dawson getting that wage,
a Japanese cook drawing $3.50 a
month, maid $50 and a night
Waterman $160, and when he
bought daily paper he parted with
two bits.

PRIEST TELLS OF ALASKAN
TRIP.

Father Bernard Vaughan, the
English Jesuit, was in Cordova
about six weeks ago on his way to
the westward. He returned to
Juneau and from there went into
the interior. He returned to Seat
tie the other day and referring to
his experiences he said that in Alas
ka they do not ask you what you
are, or whence you came. or how
much you have got, but only what
you want and what you will do for
it. He says he found the miners to
be a hearty, honest and good-na-
tured, open-handed class of men.

Nome opened a term of court in
Fairbanks on Monday morning.
Judge Murane will be in Fairbanks
disposing of crowded calendar, for
many days. He will then proceed to
Nome, where Judge Lyons has been
presiding since his arrival there on
the Thetis. Judge Overfield, who has
been holding court in the Iditarod is
supposed to have sailed on the 25th
from Nome for Seattle. He will ar

Banks Are Affected.

In the judgment of the leading
bankers and business men of this
city, the action of the chamber will
once more turn the stream of Alas
ka gold, which has been gradually
diverted to the San Francisco mint,
back to Seattle. The imposition of
the assay office charge has, during
recent years, more and more turned
the golden harvest of the North away
from the doors here for the accom-
mediation of the Alaska miners and
sent it on to other points.
This fee is not levied on deposits
at the New York assay office, which
stands on the same basis as the minis
in this respect.

Should Have Some Rate.

1t has been contended that the Of
fee here, receiving as it does the
largest quantity of bullion direct
from the mines of any office in the
country, is entitled to the same sched-
ule as New York. Having thus far
failed to obtain the concession, the
action of yesterday was taken in
order that the local office might in
reality serve to accommodate, in the
manner for which it was established,
the miners and producers of Alas
ka, and at the same time retain here
the enormous deposits sent down
from the North.

SEATTLE PAYS GOLD BONUS.

SEATTLE, Aug. 31-The Seattle
Chamber of Commerce has assumed
the burden of paying rs cents to the
depositor of every thousand dollars
worth of gold at the Seattle office.
This action has been taken to pre-
vent the probable abolition of the
United States assay office in Seattle
after July, 1913, and to absorb the
differential in assay rates now in
favor of the San Francisco mint and
Guggenheim smelter at Selby.
The Seattle office handling rate
of S125 per thousand is not charged
at the San Francisco mint and smell
ter, and though the express rate from
Alaska to San Francisco is so cents
per thousand higher than to Seattle,
depositors have been able to save
rs cents per thousand by shipping
direct to San Francisco. 1t is this
differential that the Chamber of Com
merce has now assumed, and has
placed Seattle on the same basis as
San Francisco.
Receipts Are Shrinking.
Gold receipts have been steadily
shrinking for the past three years
through detection to San Francisco.
From July l to July IL, 1909, the
Seattle assay office receipts were 49,
439,453; for the same period in
1910, $1,924,15S; in 1911, $500
035, and in 1912. $436,6S1. During
the current season at least $1,000
900 in gold has gone by this port to
San Francisco.
Since it was pointed out to local
bankers that the abolition of the
local office meant the payment by
banks of $1.35 per thousand on
minted gold from San Francisco,
some interest has been manifested
in claiming the detected current
of fIieln gold. The net cost of the
subsidy IT, Le paid by the Chamber
of Commelce will be approximately
$1,000 per snnum. The action ones
