 * WANTS OPINION :: * ON STATEHOOD *

Thomas B. Drayton writes from Kern creek to the Gateway and sev- eral others asking for expressions of opinions with respect to the question as to how the territory should be governed. He seems to think Alaska should do anything to prevent com mission forms of government which he believes, apparently, to be of the bureaucratic order. Mir. Drayton will be best remembered as the gentleman who immediately after arrival in Sew ard inaugurated a campaign against certain forms of dancing. He sug- gests that a convention ought to be held but if Mir. Drayton will take this for an answer it may be said that very few people in the territory, legis- lators included, seem to know or agree on what the territory really wants and if Mir. Drayton knows after such a short residence here he is to be congratulated. Lest there may be any confusion it is better to state that the convention would take up the question of government not of raggirg or hesitations.

The fire was caused by an explosion of the gas system for lighting the building which became a solid mass of flame immediately after the first burst and before the department was summon ed. The Hotel Northern was also slightly damaged The thermometer was thirty below at the time of the fire but there was no wind, else the whole block would have surely been destroyed.
