ALASKA R. R.
 BILL JAN. 30

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-The Al. aska Railroad bill will probably be presented to Congress on January 30.
 (Note: The dispatch which con ycys this information is written in such a manner as to prove confusing Several stories are included in the telegram form which includes this. Just preceding it is the story of the proposed bond issue for Mexican eX- pense and right between the two stories comes "twenty-one Milton" so that the message could be read as saying "twenty-one million Alaska railway bill will probably be present ed to Congress on January 3O." The message is read by the Gateway, however, as saying that twenty-one millions is the amount of money to be met by the bond issue. It is hardly possible that it could mean the rail road.

WOULD COME BACK
TO THE NORTH

TO THE NORTH
 Stroller White in the Douglas News reprints a letter which he re- ceived recently without comment.
 An old time Alaskan who went out side and settled down on small farm writes back to a friend at Fair banks as follows concerning the homesickness of both himself and his wife for Alaska:
 "I began to think l would have to side-hobble the old girl to keep her from skipping the rope and starting for Fairbanks. She is homesick for the north and l am cussing the day l ever left it. We have a truck farm, but it isn't worth much. Friday l picked nearly forty pounds or neary two bushels of string beans. It took me four hours and it took me the bal ance of the day to sell them, and l received the munifcent sum sf $l.2O for my labor. Wouldn't that sour the milk of human kindness in the best old sourdough that ever lived? They're hidebound lot on the out side. If things come all right next spring may get enough ahead to buy a ticket to Fairbanks, but if l don't, it's walk for me. Peaches and cream, sunshine and flowers, maybe O. k, but give me the frozen north, and a blueberry pie"

ROASTING WICK
 FOR DRY LAW

To be candid, Delegate Wickersham has never aroused our curiosity very much until now. His action in intro ducing a bill in congress to make Al aska dry, is too much for us. 1t is so much like the action of a meddlcr. Too fatherIy for any use.
 Two years ago our territorial lcgis- Iatmc took this matter up and by an act, put the question up to the people. At the last election, the pcopIe-and without the delegates advice and much less his consent, decided that the territory should be dry, and their mandate requires the next legislature Co make it so. In little better than two months, the legislature will meet at which meeting, action must be taken. Yet, the delegate butts in and wants congress to make it dry When and as d matter of fact during this last campaign the delegate fav- orcd the vets and got their votes. Isn't his present action an indication .hat he has turned against them and wants to be taken up by the drys? Apparently so,
 Cogitating over his action, We think We can see his reason for his change of mind which would seem to be this: Having failed to receive the big end of the votes cast a. the last election, he considers himself stranded from the majority, as it were, and as We all know, nothing but the majority suits him, he wants to be given the credit of making Alaska dry in order to be taken up by the majority that voted dry lie is very fond of the majority. So much so that he pre- fcrs two enemies to one friend any o.d time. In this case the majority of the voters voted dry. Personally we believe the delegate prefers the vets to the drys, but as the vets are not in the majority in Alaska, hence his change Of mind. It is a we'll known fact that Wickersham never considers his friends unless they are in the majority. He is perfectly clear on that point. But we wonder how his "wet" supporters feel over his action. It is evident that he hes no more use for them as nc ap- parcnLy wants 60 put them out Of business.-KctchiIial Progressive.
