.IDITAR0D MAN
 DRAGS DELEGATE
 OVER THE GOALS

The following communication in the Iditarod Pioneer Is from the pen of one of the leading citizens of the Iditarod country:
 Editor Iditarod Pioneer:
 Will you permit me through your columns to protest against what ap- pears to me an act of great un- fairness to this part of Interior Al aska?
 l refer to what was advocated by the Delegate from this Territory in regard to the appropriation for the fiscal year ending in June, 19l1 for Alaska roads.
 There have been circulated here printed copies of a speech made by Mir. Wickersham on June 26 last in the House of Representatives, the main object of which seems to have been to demonstrate to the people of the Territory the fact that not to the road commission, but to the Delegate, belonged the credit for getting our roads a larger appropriation than usual.
 In his speech Mr. Wickersham said that the sums spent by the road commission are ostensibly for military and postal purposes, but that in addition to these uses the roads are equally useful to the peo- pie at large as public highways, With this general usefulness in mind the Delegate introduced a bill for the expenditure of $2OO,O0O in "the completion of the military post road and bridges from Ruby to Long creek" upon which the government has spend already the sum of S4S,- 900. This amount was afterwards cut down to $1OO,OOO by the War Department in its estimates for the current year.
 MT. Wickersham says that he was led to introduce this bill because the people in that great mining district" appealed to their Delegate, voicing their appeal in an editorial in the Ruby paper and in letter written to the Delegate by Senator Sutherland. Now. l. personally do not question the Delegates motives in getting this money for this par ticular section, although some may wonder how much the residency of perhaps the brightest satellic may have induced his activity in the matter. Nor do begrudge Ruby one cent But on the other hand,

do know that Ruby's mines do not produce as much as do those of this district, and the government has not spent $4S,OOO on our roads, although the Delegate has heard and read a
 good deal more than one complaint
 from the operators and residents of
 this community. Senator Sutherland's home district is great" and hope will be greater, but 1t has cost my associates and myself more than
 SS .OOO from our own pockets to keep
 the roads passable for our teams, while our ground was producing al- most twice as much as the entire
 great" Ruby district has turned out to date.
 When Mir. Wickersham wrote or spoke of that great district" and when the War Department consent ed to spend that much money on it, they must have forgotten that this camp for several years now has been the third largest producer in Alaska; that through 1t runs the shortest winter trail from the coast to Nome; that by way of Iditarod goes the shortest trail between the Yukon and the upper Kuskokwim; that from the present outlook this will be a distributing point for out lying country which is constantly becoming more extensive; that 1t is summer point of departure for Ophir. Tokotna, Candle and other creeks; that today miners are work ing on Moore Creek. forty miles from here, who have to pay high rates to get their grub over a trail made by God Almighty and Tom Shal- lows mules, to which neither the Delegate nor the road commission have given one minutes thought or contributed one cent They must have forgotten all this, for the only road machine ever in the camp was brought here by a private individual Frank Manley-and the best we can do is to get a paltry two or three thousand each year, an amount which will not keep the existing roads in repairs unless the commun- ity goes down into its jeans and helps the government out. AS for the winter trail, well. anyone who has been over 1t can tell about that Words fail me, and you don't use asbestos paper.
 But when one considers the annual production Of this camp, its sur rounding country, its geographical location with reference to Nome and Seward, the Yukon and the Kusko- kwim, it must be admitted that in all fairness this district is entitled to receive from the government at least as much attention as is given Ruby. We have not had it. but if we had been given a start to the roads actually needed, the govern ment would have laid the founda- ton for a scheme of highways con meeting the lower Yukon in winter and the Yukon and Kuskokwim wa tersheds which as military post roads or as public highways of gen

 To anyone who knows how the roads Of this community have been overlooked and neglected by the au- thorities Mir. Wickershamg bill and his action in regard to this Ruby road look like a rotten piece of partiality on the part of a man who was elected a Delegate from and for all of the Territory.

 TWELVE TONIGHT
.FIau of Pioneer Line of Alaska Is to Be
 Dipped for Last
 Time Tonight.
BLASTS TO GO

SEATTLE, Oct. 3l.-AL midnight every Pacific Coast Steamship Co.'S steamer will lower the old flag that for years has been flung from the mast and new Admiral Line flag will be raised. Wireless in- structions have been sent to the captains of all steamers that the pioneer flag" will be furled for the last time and the new flag hoisted. The now flag contains a maltese cross, surrounded by a life buoy with the words Admiral Line. p. s. s. Co.," upon it.
 At midnight tonight. the flag Of the pioneer Alaska steamer line will 20 into disuse. For years and years the maltese cross has been floating from the steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's line and the familiar two long and one short blasts have been heard, After f2 o'clock tonight the flag and the whistles will be O thing of the past.
 The merging of the Pacific Coast S. S. Company and the Admiral line means much to the patrons of the former line who came to look upon it as the pioneer Of Alaska shipping. Tn the early days the Al-Ki poked her nose into Gastineau channel. The Al-Ki is still on the route but the Cottage City, the Mexico and others have ended their days.
 Capt. James Carroll was the first agent of the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company in Juneau-and this was over 20 years ago. Frank A. Brooks was Carrolls successor and then came E. c. Casbolt
 During the last fifteen years the chenges resulted in II. F. Robert Ison succeeding Casebolt, A. s. Dau- trick. now the representative of the Great Northern, succeeding Robert son and W. F.

Co. was the successor of Mr. Swan aud in point of years main tained the direction of the com panys affairs here longer than any of the others.
 What changes will be made in the local offices Of the Admiral Line land Pacific Coast Steamship Com 9any after midnight. it is not known but it is believed that Mir. Gallagher will be the Juneau agent and Mir. Ewing is rumored for a promotion. The other office attaches wil per haps be retained.
