night and Jon and Evelyn, don't you

Dave" I says, I'm right glad you

 There is another thing c ncerning which The Citizen wishes to make itself absolutely clear. and that IS that 1t is not supporting the effort being made to have the cases against the directors of the bank dropped. The owner of The Citizen is d bondsman for one of the former receivers Of the bank. who is now being sued. and if the cases are dismissed. may be relieved of some annoyance. but he is not willing to hinder the machinery of justice for that reason. There has been no Z oi excuse presented 10 this paper thus far to make i, believe that the suits fled hy the receiver should be stop ped. and until such evidence is pro duced. the concern of this paper will be simply to see that the deposi- tors are not forced to lgse all that Is coming 10 them through the miSmaa- agemeut of an incompetent receiver

DEVELOPMENT PROMISED.

h a press dispatch printed in the last issue of The Citizen. President Baxter of the Alaska Steamship companv is quoted as saying that d syndicate will develop the l5wgrade copper deposits in Alaska if the government decides to construct it's company is owned by the Guggen- helm interests it is quite possible hat the syndicate of which President Baxter referred is to be controlled by the Guggenheims.
 But it does mt matter to the peo- pie of Alaska whose money develops he mine. as long as the project IS ,ut under way. and the territory gets the benefit of the money that will come from it.
 The development of the big copper dep sits though of much importance, will be but one little cog in the big industrial machine that will get into motion after Alaska is provided with rail transportation. Even if you elim- mate the rich gold deposits of the territory, Alaskas resources will be sufficient to make Cf it rich coun- try.
 But the mineral resources alone are far greater. 1t seems, than the world at large appreciates. It will be remembered that the mines of Siberia Russia, many of which are n aboUt the same nor harn latitu le as Fairbanks, have been in operation so many years that it would seem that they would have been wCrked out many decades ago, but they are still being worked at a profit
 Under present conditions 1t will not pay to mine the low-grade dirt, or
 he placer dir, but it will take more than a few generations to exhaust this wealth. even with the most mod ern machinery kn VII to man.
 Thus it is quite certain that there is no one now alive who will see the day when mining In Alaska has become a matter of history.

WHY BOW TO SEATTLE?

Efforts made by Seattle to get the people Of Fairbanks to back up it's claim to enc of the reserve banks should not be taken seriously by people here. This is not said iii an spirit of antagonism against Seattle, but as matter of justice.
 It can matter but little to the people Of Fairbanks which of the coast cities gets a regional bank, but it will matter f Fairbanks if th!s city. through it's effort to interfere with q matter that does not concern it, obtains the illwill Of other coast cities. whose friendship We need.
 Following the opening Of the Pan anna canal, it is quite pr bable that one or more steamship lines will ply directly between Alaskan ports and the various ports of the Pacific coast In that case the fare to Port land. or even San Francisco. would be but little more than to Seattle, fir m Fairbanks, and wider range of intercourse and commerce would he inaugurated.
 If Alaska forms an alliance with one city of the Coast to the exclu- sion of the others. then she is p,ac- ing herself in position of being fleeced. She shuts herself out f the competition that is the life of trade and the safety valve on prices.
 When Seattle comes to Alaska to ask for moral backing in a contest between the Sound city and Portland it must be remembered that it was largely due 10 an Oregon senato". MT. Chamberlain. that the Alaska railroad bill was passed. Alaska should not be made the catspaW of one city to injure her friends or te create enemies.
 AIaska's gold and Alaska's com, merce have done more than any other thing to promote the gr2wth of Seat tle Had it not been for Alaska, Seattle would probably be but a small city now. Therefore if favors are due anywhere, they should come to Alaska from Seattle, and the lat ter should net attempt to lay claim to any undue favor from this terri tory

SURVEYS MAY START SOON

l Of more than ordinary interest to
 the people of Fairbanks at the pres
 ent time is the question of when
 work will actually begin Cn the new
 railroad It is probable that not ev-
 en the President, who will direct tho
 work. is able to answer that ques- i tion satisfactorily.
 ] It can naturally be expected how ever, that army engineers will be put
 in the field without delay to run lines i of surveys and to determine which is the most practicable route. If this work Is hurried. it is possible that that route will be selected and con. tracts let by the government for some of the construction work before the present year comes to an end 1 The years 1915 and 1916 will as. suredly see much of the construction
 work completed, and 1t is not i'm probable that trains will be running over the new line sometime during
 the summer of 1917.
 i What may delay the work for time
 will be the expected contest between the various coast cities for the term mus of the road. If they take the i matter up to the President, things may
 be held up for time. but it is prob
 able that the route will be determin-
 ed by the army engineers. after i they have completed their surveys
 From telegraphie reports from Washington it seems evident that
 the road will connect with tidewater
 at Portage bay, which is 12 miles east of Turnagain Arm, and will connect with the railroad running north from Seward From there the
 road will probably go by the best
 route to Fairbanks. with branch
 10 the Matanuska coal fields. If the foregoing route is chosen,
 t will mean the building of new
 harbor and new city on the shore
 of Portage bay.

PARTY LIMITATIONS.

Party politics, when not controlled by machines" are essential to good government The loyalty to a party is what inspires nest men to take an interest in governmental affairs and to study to a more or less extent political economy
 There are times, however, when party affiliations should not be con sidered in the election of men U office. This is being recognized n many of the large cities, where party lines are not found on the ballots, though candidates are supported in those cases usually by local fac tions that have little or no rela- ion to national parties.
 The Tanana Valley Democratic club endorsed this spirit of keeping tics when it decided at it's last meeting to take no part as an or ganiza ion in municipal affairs in Fairbanks.
 In the city is where the political machines get their strength, and when cities are not controlled by ma tional political parties, there is more hope for a local government free from bossism It is to the best in terests of a political party to elimin- ate the machine and it's bosses, who as rule use the name of the party organization to promote their own selfish interests.

From Kantishna to Ne mana they broke trail through the snow, making progress slow and tire some. After their arrival here, Mir McGonagal said that the miners in Kantishna are doing little mining work, and are devoting their time 10 chopping wood and in other ways reparing for the coming season.

CREDIT DUE WICkERSHAM.

l James WiCkersham has made good i n congress. and all of Alaska must l feel a certain sense of pride in his
 achievements. MT. Wickersham has
 not only done all that was expected
 him in his official capacity of
 delegate from Alaska to congress, but i he has accomplished far more than anybody had believed possible.
 The deplorable tendency of our age to criticse officials for everything | they do, without uttering a Word of appreciation for what they accomplish is demoralizing some of our public offices by driving capable men from hat there are few men and women in Interir Alaska who are so narrow in their political views that they cannot credit MT. Wickersham with the great good he has accomplished for us all,
 In party politics this paper is in no way affiliated with Mir. Wicker sham but The Citizen would not be honest If it did not say that it ap- preciates the good wok dcne by him
 If MT Wickersham had been of the same political party as the Presi- dent and the controlling element in congress, the task of getting recog- milton for Alaska would not have been such difficult one. but as q member f minority party he has managed to get from the national government almost all that he has set out to get.
 In calling attention to MT. Wicker sham's good work in congress, The Citizen dces not pledge him it's sup port for reelection, but as a news it is free to follow out it's own doc Urine of absolute fairness by placing credit where it belongs.
 It has been argued that if Alaska sends t. congress a delegate of the same political faith as the President much good for the territory will re- suit. This sounds we'll and is prob ably true, provided the right kind of Democrat is elected, but if Alaska is going to send to congress a dele gate who is nothing but cheap Nolitician it is quite sure that he will accomplish less than a really capable man of some other political party.
 President Wilson has demonstrated 1 hat beyond a doubt his patriotism for his country, his desire to ob- tain for the country at large the most possible good, is stronger ele- ment in his nature than mere parti- sanship For this reason he has re- tained in appointive offices compe- 'ent Republicans. despite the remou- strances of political organizations. This same element in his nature will make him do more for really worthy man, regardless of political utilization, than he can be expected
 , do for an incompetent man put into office by people of his own party
 A man doesn't have to be a phil osopher, or have a very strong in sight into the affairs of the world. to realize that if the Alaska Demo- crats are going to send a delegate to congress to succeed MT. Wicker sham, they will have to select man of more than ordinary populari- ty and ability

FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD
SOME TRUTHS ABOUT MOVES.

F. c. Moves, the receiver who IS getting a ia. salary that he doesn't earn from the depositors cl the de fu4et Washing, on Alaska bank re- fused to make a statement in his own behalf concerning the alleged mismanagement of his work, but has forced the editor of his own paper to attack The Citizen. This under hand method cf making other peo- p'e figh. his battles is one ol the many things that portray the character of the man and his un fitness for the important trust he holds.
 Through the editor of the Times. ,ha paper controlled by Moves, he says The Citizen is n1t fighting him in the open. and that it resorts 10 innuendo What The Citizen was really trying to do was to play far with Moves. but this spirit of fa'r- ness has evidently been misinterpret- eG by him.
 Thera are some people whose sen abilities are so dead that you can not fight them with gloves, but must use club, figurati"ely speaking. Moves is one of such persons. + he really wants The Citizen to call a spade a spade in referring 10 him. then here goes:
 Moves is an oily politician, who holds position for which he is not fitted. making other hired help do the work that he, if he were capable and honest would do himself.
 Moves is a parasite up2n the com munity for he gets the benefits of the money paid in by the taxpayers, and by hiding behind every available techncality dishonesty escapes pay ing taxes for the upkeep of the city
 Moves is unnecessarily withholding money from the depositors of the bank. many of wh m are in dire need.
 Moves refuses to deny the ailega- tion that he is using the offices rented, heated and maintained at a great expense by the depositors in the bank for the conduct of his private business
 Now, MT. Moves, if you think this is innuendo, and you want strong- CT statements made about yourself then have your editor say so, and we will try again to make ourselves clear in our allegation that there are many reasons why you should be removed from the position of trust that you hold
 More. than 100 depositors of the Alaska bank have signed a petition to have Moves removed from the receivership of the bank, al leging, among ether things, that he is using up the money in unneces sary expenses and that he is not capable of handling the work. The court is asked to put competent man in his place.
 Judge Fuller refused to act upon the petition until it is made Of record and is given a hearing in open court Even these who oppose Moves the most, must agree that Snch a cOurSo is fair and that he is entitled to public hearing. It must also be remembered in this regard that the former receivers were removed and Moves was apponted by

THE DIFFERENCE.

The booster is the party
 Who is hauling down the dough. The folks are glad L grasp his mitt Wherever he may go.
 He's the little ray Of sunshine, He is Johnny-on-thes spot,
 And his talk is mighty welcome Though it strains the truth lot. There's a sort of benediction In his cheerful "HoWdy-do.' And he makes ycur life " rth Twin While he's round a-joshin' you. The knocker is the person Who's the sorriest of Chumps, He is blue and melancholy And he goes round in the dumps. When the people see him coming, They walk round city bl elk So they needn't stand and listen To this stone-age fossil knock. He's a burden to his country, He is no good to himself,
 And his victims shout thanks2iVing When he's laid upon the shelf.
