THE RETIREMENT OF GOV. CLARK.

C OV WALTER E. CLARK will retire from the office of Gov 1 ernor of Alaska this after nearly four years o ser
 vice and he will leave the North with the well wishes ot people His administration has been raugh With dl erences over policies and legislative problems and the differences involved principles of government that to Americans mark the between right and wrong AakanS have resented very of the policies urged by Gov Clark yet through all he has made personal friends None have questioned his desire well for Alaska in accordance with his understanding all admit that he has abored earnestly and that list of his accomplishments would be short.
 that does not take into that he to the territory the representative national administration that probably more unpopular with AaSkanS than that ot any other that country has had its occupation by Amer jeans and it's Alaskan policies had agreed upon and rOmu gated before Clark'S appointment had been made.
 The opposition in Alaska the Taft administration a ways the case where differences fundamental principles of constitute the bone of contention deep seat ed and unreconcebe long the administration refused to recognize the right the people of Alaska to segOvern en support plans of those proposed Bevege b there could be nothing but bitter opposition to and to all connected with it.
 However Gov Clark entered heartily into the spirit of the selfgovenng principle when finally recognized and adopted that it fair to that if he had had the shap he understood Alaska and its people the beginning well he understands them the political history of the last four years would different than it S and nearly to the liking of AaSkanS
 Gov Clark spoke with truth and knowledge the other day when he leaving Alaska with friends in the Territory he had when he it. That statement fair N tells the story of his administration It is liked better than it was President had abandoned the advsed position he assumed at the beginning of his term.
 Wherever duty fancy might call Gov and Mrs Clark in the future they will take with them the goodwill of the people of the North.

WHY WON'T CONGRESS
 TREAT ALASKA RIGHT?

One wonders why it is that reform CTS. in their zeal to benefit the work ,ngman and improve the conditions Of the masses, so frequently fail to do the thing which is easiest and most use full. Why not give relief to Alaska? Private capital has been denied the right of going into Alaska and develop ing railroads and mines. The conser- yationists. who have called halt on development in many States, have been likewise successwul in crippling the growth of Alaska Millions of tons of coal are lying untouched in Alaska, and the capital of many individuals is tied up simply because the govern ment, while refusing to open Alaska to private enterprise, at the same time fails to bring about any development 0n it's own initiative.
 The construction of railroad in Alaska will involve an expenditure of about $35,OOO,O0O. It will provide an outlet from the mines, and, if a more liberal policy is pursued, will permit the sale of coal on the Pacific Coast at reasonable prices. It will open up new mines and agricultural regions, and increase the population of the ter ritory.
 What could the Senate do that would be more helpful than to give immed- fate consideration to the measure which would bring about the building of the proposed railroad? What is the Senate doing now that is of moro consequence? As matter of fact, the Senate is marking time until the tariff bill is sent over from the House. The country must spend thousands of dollars for every day that Congress is in Session, and the people would feel that the money were being spent to better purpose if the Senate were to engage in constructive Alaska legis- lation.- Washington Post.

VALDEZ PAPER PAYS
 TRIBUTE TO MCHESNEY

Were we called upon to define grit we would reply by remarking, Robert McChesney, and it is literally true, The example of grit displayed by this pioneer of Alaska from the time the tree fell, pinning him to the ground, while his partners fought to release him, he calmly directed the work, the coolest head in the party and all through the trip to the beach when every step meant torture to the in jured man, the long night ride in the boat, while his companions, almost ex' hausted, rowed on he never whim' pered, but when the pain was the hard, est to withstand he wistled or sang. Grit is McChesney and McChesney is grit-all grit and plenty of it. Of such are the pioneers of Alaska. - Valdez Prospector.
