l olovana Miners
 Are In the Pay

A report recently received in town from the Toloyana country is to the effect that Fred Jcrgen- son and Leon Kellum have struck pay on No. below, second tier, right limit of Livengood creek winch will go $25O to the square foot of bedrock. The extent of the paystreak is not known, a the prospectors have only driftcd 25 feet from their shaft, but it is
 sufficiently encouraging to make MT iellum give up his position on the Fairbanks fire department and enter he mining game again.
 Both kellum and Jorgenson are now in Fairbanks. It Is understood that they are making arrangements to take a complete mining outfit to the new camp Neither had much to say when interviewed con corning the report received here rom Brooks.
 The claim on which the men have a lease is next to that on which 'attorsOn & Finley are oDeratin-. or the ground which was a good producer during the past summer, considering the manner in which it was worked. It Is held under option by Jorgenson, George Wesch and Tony Z,,lar

LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

Just what particular benefit will accrue hy the new method of se- leCting mayor and other officials of a municipal corporation is more than anyone in the community can explain.
 A special election has been called for the 18th inst. at which time the voters of the city can record their vote for or against the method evolved by the territorial legisia- ture. If they think it will be q good thing it will be adopted and if they do not the reverse will be the outcome.
 It would seem, however that it were better to bear the ills We have than to fly to others we know not of The gentleman receiving g the highest vote has heretofore becn elected as mayor by his associates, and the whole body in turn select the heads of the different depart ments.
 It would seem that this would be the best method to pursue, inasmuch as all appointees are under the di- rect eye and supervision of their makers, and can be held account able for their acts. Whereby, if elected by the people they are re- sponsible to no one and cannot be interfered with during their term of office, and knowing this might be little more independent and dicta- torial than they otherwise would be.
 There has been no reason to complain of or change the present system of electing and appointirg city officials, and as long as there is no bowling need of change 1t might be just as we'll to let well enough alone.
 This, however, will be settled by the voters themselves.

IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER.

The declaration of principles" :" adopted by the Progressive National committee is an official notice that the party Is in the hands of a re Ceiver who is authorized to dispose of the assets on the best terms that can be obtained from the Re publican organization.
 It Is plain that there is no in tentiOn of nominating another Bull Moose ticket in 1916. The Progress lyc lNadels are far more eag., to get nac~ into the Republican pa: y than the Republican leaders are io ave them back
 brother Perkins. who Is excus- ably weary of paying the freight, supplements the declaration of
 principles" with the informal al louncement that the candidate will 4Ct necessarily have to be Col Roosevelt" Barnes, Root, Penrose, Uncle Joe Cannon, Murray Crane Reed Shoot and all the rest of the Old Guard leaders know that rather better than Brother Perkins knows it. It will be the Colonel if the Colonel can get it, but he cannot bluff it out of them. There are conceivable circumstances in which they might give it to him, but 1t will be on their terms. There ie no sentiment one way or the other 1t is a matter of cold blooded busi- ness.
 But how about the rank and file of the Progressive party. the voters who were actuated by high idealism in 1912 and actually believed that in supporting Roosevelt they were battling for the Lord? After the Colonel has made his deal with the Republican machine, how far can le deliver them?

HOPE, SWEET HOPE

The most eXhilarating thing whiC,t has Happened during the present winter was the receipt of a tele- gram from Commissioner Riggs Dy the Commercial club inquiring how many men and teams could be pro cured around Fairbanks for work on the government raj road in In terior Alaska during the coming summer.
 While there is nothing definite in the telegram, it has raised the hopes of all those who have been sitting tight" and waiting develop ments, and there is a general feel ing abroad that Mir. Riggs has over come the opposition of Commission er Edes and that actual construc tion will be commenced from the Fairbanks end of the line during the coming summer
 A former allotment of the ten millions asked for gave but s225, ,000 for the perfection of the new town If Nenar@, which would te govern ment town of the same character as Anchorage at which lots would be sold in the same manner as at the coast town, and while that may still be the program it is hoped that the commission has seen n = T mence the actual construction of the line from the Fairbanks end with the view of giving the pecpl. of the Interior access to the Ne mana coal fields, which urgent need has been very 1orcibly called to their attention.
 The fuel question is becoming more than serious as each year comes to an end During the pres ent winter wood has been wood IL all that the word implies, and ncX winter and the winter after it will be almost equal quantities of gold for wood. Many mine owners have closed their mines with the inten ton of letting them remain closed until such time as they can work them at a profit, and that means when fuel which is the main cost becomes cheaper and they cannot be blamed for their actions
 If the telegram means what the people hope it does it will inject new life into the camp at least couple of years sooner than if the construction is prosecuted solely from the coast end. and for that let us all devoutly pray

WHEN GERMANY PASSED THE
 UNITED STATES.

It was during the Roosevelt ad ministration that Germany obtained her lead in sea power over the United States-sea power as mea
 sured in dreadnaughts, which are the standard units of modern fleet At the end of 1908 Germany had laid down eight to the United States four, and this ratio has been main tained ever since. The last year of MT Roosevel+'s term Germany passed the United States in the
 amount of tonnage built and build ing, and we have never recovered
 the place we lost.
 If MT Roosevelt wishes to fir the direct responsibility for the relative decline of American sea
 power, he can blame himself and the Republican party. More money
 has been spent on the navy since
 Mir Wilson became President than in any corresponding period of the
 national history.
 For ourselves, We are not disposed
 to blame Mir Roosevelt or anybody
 else. We should consider an attack
 on him just as silly and malicious
 as his attacks on Wilson and the Democratic party.
 The truth of the matter is that Lo >f,,,y 1o, behind and not compete with Great
 Britain and Germany in their strug gle for naval supremacy. The Am erican people did not believe that this war was possible, and they re- fused to prepare against the impos- sible. Even now, when half the | world is aflame and we ourselves have been singed, a powerful e,e-
 ment in and out of congress is stubbornly opposed to increased mea-
 sures of national defense. The same incorrigible idealism that be- lieved this war could not happen
 also believes the nation cannot be-
 come involved n serious foreign
 complications.
 The way to overcome this oppo-
 sition is to stop playing partisan
 politics with preparedness and deal
 with the condition of affairs for | which nobody can truly be held responsible but which demands an immediate remedy People like MT
 Roosevelt are much more concerned about abusing President Wilson than about obtaining a reasonable mea-

 Therefore be it resolved; b. the Democrats of Goldstream iu meeting assembled Believing In the immortal Democratic principles proud of President Wilson and his administrations record in national and international affairs Cratafu. to him for his work in behalf Of Alaska We pledge ourselves once more to support the Democratic ticket in the coming election and specially to see to it that no present federal office hOlder-eXcept the udge-is elected as a delegate, ncr gets a proxy, for the Juneau c5ave1 tiUn
 And be it further resolved, that ge earnestly request and urge all of our Democratic and roughnec& friends in every precinct to worri 0 the same end.

FOR OLD FRIENDS SAKE

Twelve years ago Frank Maniey who is well known in and around Fairbanks as well as the whole of the interior of Alaska brought a horse into the country. The horse was faithful animal and nevl shirked. but did his part with the fellows, and even put little eNtlu strength into the collar when it seemed necessary.
 MT. Manley was fortunate enough. to make a fortune or two during these twelve years, and the horse brought in had more or less to do in the making of these fortunes.
 A horse cannot always stay young especially in the rigorous climate of Alaska, so as a natural Conse quence with old age his usefulness became less and less But Mir. Manley did not turn his old friend out in the hills to shift for himself. They had been chums for twelve years. and having worked together faithfully during that time the faith fitness of the dumb brute was not forgotten after the master had made his fortune.
 One day a short time ago this pioneer horse arrived in Seattle on the steamer Victorian from an Alaskan port and was met on the pier by Mir Manley, who saw that he was escorted safely to stabln where. after his recovery from the effects of rough sea voyage he was taken to farm to rest and kick Up his heels in tnee-high grass for the balance of his days.
 Those who know MT. Manley will not be surprised at his action, but how many other people in this north country give a second thought to the dumb animals which ha~e gone through many hardships with them end, when their usefulness is over they ara either killed to savo the expense of feeding them or turned out to root hog or die?"

GET THE PROXIES.

Many inquiries have been received at this office as to what action Is necessary at the Democratic primary elections to be held on the 25th throughout the Fourth division
 That's easy.
 In the first place you want to get every Democrat in your neck of the woods that desires a voice in party matters to get out and vote at the time and place set by the officials named for the holding of such election. See whoever has the matter in hand and find cut just what time is set for casting the bal lots. If the time Is fixed so as to preclude those working from taking part try and have the hours changed. If that is impossible, have them make an effort to get off long enough to cast their ballot. And be sure you have someone present. during the hours when the balloting

WHAT s THE USE?

The above were the words very wisely asked by our good friend the News-Mlner two weeks ago when commenting on the editorial appearing in The Citizen of that date calling the attention of the grand jury to the private operations of the United States marshal while acting in an official capacity. and 1t concluded the article with:
 The silver tonsued marshal
 will go down to Washington
 with letters from our leading
 citizens to the effect that his
 mercantile venture, will benefit
 real benefactor to the miners
 of the district as the compe-
 tition of his wares in the mart
 of trade tends to reduce the
 cost of living-just like free
 trade-and, in the parlance of
 the Eowery, the boobs down
 there fall for it.
 In the present instance. however the marshal is not put to the in convenience of going to Washington to defend his actions, for tho "boobs' at home decided that the king can do no wrong" and gave him a clean bill of health by praising the manner in which his office Is conducted and thanking him kind ly for the great help his office and deputies had been to them, in fixing the guilt upon those against whom true bills Were returned
 At this time, just after the final report of the grand jury, we are impelled to ask, as did the News Miner two weeks ago-what's the use?
 From this time henceforth 1t will be perfectly proper for the marshal of the Fourth division to engage in any line of business he sees fit and compete with any merchant in town just as much as he cares to. We have, no doubt, had the wrong hog by the ear all the time and endeavoIed to deprive Marshal Erwin the right of gaining a compe tence in a legitimate line of busi ness. Sixteen good honest men oi the community sworn to do theil duty, have arrived at this conclu sion, and we cannot help lowing our head to the will of the majori | ty.

It has been truthfully said that "it is easier for a criminal to get away with crimo than for re, former to get by with a reform. ' and this being so We have re- signed and gone out of the reform business. The people of the com munity have had just as much oI a kick coming as we had and ii they can stand the work" of the marshal, and compliment him upon the conduct of his office and the employment of an "auger hole" force. 1t is all right with us

WHY GASOLINE IS DEAR.

Some deluded persons have sup posed that the price of gasoline has gone up because of the in creased demand foI it for motors and for industrial and military uses: others with equal lack of perspica city have attributed it to the higher price and decreased produ of crddt il All these supposititious causes nave nothing to do with the case The real reason why gasoline is dear is that the Supreme Court of the United States has made t so. The momentous fact is di yulged by the Wall Street Journal with gravity and restraint beftt ting the disclosure of so weighty 3 secret:
 The Wall Street Journal hesi,
 tates to tell the truth, for few
 will believe it Nevertheless.
 it may be time to say that the
 politicians. the representatives of
 the dear peepul," the govern
 ment of the United States and
 the Supreme Court are responsi-
 ble for the high price of gaso-
 line. For several years the
 Standard Oil company. as the
 representative oil company of
 the United States, consid-
 cred itself in duty bound to be
 somewhat a regulator of prices.
 It was clearly to the interest
 of 26 Broadway to lose money
 in stemming the tide of high
 prices in the interest of public
 sentiment. But today, when the
 government has smashed the
 Standard Oil Trust into thirty
 two competing parts, nobody
 except the government itself is
 responsible for the high prices
 of gasoline There is no longer
 any Standard Oil Trust and
 there is no longer any respon-
 sible 26 Broadway; hence gaso-
 line soars-and Rockefeller
 laughs.
 Perhaps it would be more in ac- cordance with the altruistic mo- tives attributed to Mir Rockefeller to represent him as grieving rather than laughing at this defeat of hie philanthropic policy Can a good man who Is bent on running his business at a loss be expected to rejoice when an unfeeling government com pels him to run it at profit?
 It is difficult to conceive of a more aggravated Instance of the laws oppression than this ipterrup, ton of Mir Rockefeller's long ca, reer of ''losing money in the interest Nf public sentiment" and repreS- sion of his benevolent activities as a price regulator, by act of congress sustained by the Supreme Court In effect the government has treat ed as a. malcfactor of great wealtr one who sought to die poor that his fellow citizens could have chea3 gasoline; and in doing so it has given a crowning example of the ingratitude of republics.
