ANCHORAGE RAISES S2.7OO
 TO ADVERTISE TOWN

Anchorage citizens believe in advertising their town but un-
 like some other communities they do not believe that the two local newspapers should do it all. So they have raised a fund of more than $2,7OO for advertising purposes, which will be used in connection with funds raised at Seward and other railroad towns for pro- noting tourist travel to Alaska ka and secure settlers for their locality. !

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

No Congressional enactment in years has aroused the resent
 nent created by the Alaska ex- emption clause in the Mer- H"Hit Marine Act, commonly known as the Jones shipping act, hence the prospect of early
 lepeal of the objectionable, clause excluding Alaska from the use of foreign shipping, will be welcomed by every real 4 Alaskan. Laying aside all ques- ton of the damage and hard ~ Ds created by the inhibitive clause, it is a discrimination of the rankest order ,unwar- ranted and unjustified by any cumstances or conditions at the time of it's infliction or sin ce. A more distinctly un-Amer- ican piece of legislation could hardly be imagined, excluding from the use of a privilege en- loyed by the citizens of every other section of the United States a people who are as tru- ly American as any that can be bound within all the borders of Uncle Sam's domain and who in the time of national stress gave to the nation in propor- ton to population more money and more men than any other political division of the United States. Its enactment was an in- justice and its removal will be not so much a benefit to Alas ka as a credit to the congress thaA restores. to good Amer ican citizens the right of equal privileges of which they were so unjustly deprived for the, benefit of those who seek to exploit the Territory for pri- yate gain.

ELECTING A GOVERNOR

(From the Juneau Empire)
 Generally speaking, those ac- .d- tainted 'wiNa governmental processes believe the law which permits one who may have an ambition to be govern or of Alaska to file his declar- ation of candidacy and have his name printed on the prim- ary election ballot of his party, just as candidates for other of fees may, ought to be disre- Rarded. It is understood that the Democrats will ignore the law, so that if anyone should file his declaration of candi- dacy he will do so on his per sonal responsibility.
 Governors of Territories are appointed by the president and become representatives of the president and his administrat- ion i'll the territories, as we'll as their chief executives. It would seem presumptive, therefore,
Hyder weekly miner., 1924-02-04

for one to file his declaration of candidacy before he knew who will be preeident- of whose administration he is to
 be the representative.
 The Territorial law would seem, in fact, to be an attempt
 to defeat the plain intent of the
 Territorial Organic Act, and as
 all the authority of the legislat- ure comes from the Organic
 Act, the Legislature attempted
 to rise above it's source when
 it passed the law.
 Some of the legal fraternity
 contend that the law is void- able and that an injunction would lie against it's operation. However that may be, the En- pire agrees with the public pol icy of those who urge that it
 be disregarded.
 Many prominent Alaskans are taking issue with Delegate Sutherland over his action in carrying the fish reserve COIL troversy into the courts, believ- ing that it will result in Alaska losing the friendship and aid of secretary Hoover.
 While the Gateway has re- ceived no other advices than those contained in the dis patches,it appears to us from this long distance view that the question is assuming too much magnitude for so small a mat. ter.
 Alaskans must go to the States for financial backing for mines and fisheries. If cap ital refused to step in and de- velop either one or the other, they would remain undevel- oped, as few Alaskans could float these enterprises. On the other hand Alaskans get little from their vast resour- ces. Their laws are violated with impunity, and outside in- terests advance the theory that these resources are not owned by Alaskans but by the people of the United States at large, which ir9y be true legally but not true morally.
 Whether or not a lawsuit with the head of the fisheries de- partment will advance our in- terests at Washington remains to be seen.-Seward Gateway.

WILL is EFFECTIVE
+ AFTER TWENTY nine YEARS.

The settlement of the Swope will
case which has been hanging fire in
1.-THE Circuit Court of Rockingham
County for twenty-nine years, arising
from the provisions of will in which
the testator bequeathed property ito
be equally divided among the grand
children that have, or may have,
share and share alike, when they
arrive at q years of age, was made
by Judge T. N. Haas on Saturday.
There were eight grand children at
the time of making the will and the
original eight will share in the dis
tribution of the estate, which was
originally SO, 100and which has trebled
pending final order of court.
The matter for Judge Haas to con-
slider was the limit of possibility for
additional grand children, new ques-
ton in many courts. There were two
children, both of whom are now dead,
their deaths making a division of the
estate possible under the will.

MARRIED LIFE Is HipprST.

I Divorce statistics are nearing
rand he tales Of marital nixups aFf
/ ianocnous when considered il con
/ nection with the question OF lie ra.a
five happiness Of the married peoi !
aud those who are single footing /
thru life.
Eminent judges decided the ques,
ton at the New Theatre on Monday
night, after debate Of the colored
folks touching this great question.
There is more happiness following the
I'VE wilt" ceremony than in celibacy,
the judges said. and there was not q
married man in the large audience
who dared question the decision,
Somewhere the shade of Demos
themes took on cast OF green
when the mellifulous voice OF Preston
Scott roamed thru the realms o.
rhetoric, and acquired all the adjectives
in the lexicon, in his word picture OF
the bliss of married life, and Mr.. ano
Mrs, Harry McAfee showed splendid
team work in propping iup Preston's
argument.
Ned Spinner, confirmed bachelor
and dark hued cynic in his circle
had conned by rote the household
horrors of Henry VIII, the tragedy Of
Napoleon and Josephine and the
marital muddiness in Jim Stillman' s
career, in an effort to prove that the
path from Hymen's altar leads to the
divorce court. Ned's coworkers in the
oratorical contest were Bert Dyer OF
Mt. jackson and Mr.. and Mrs. David
Byrd, but inasmuch as two OF the
Judges, County Treasurer J. D. Har-
pine and w. M. Wender were married
men and one A. C. Stickley II is just
budding into bachelorhood, the yer
dict of the court was foregone con-
clusion, and Ned and his associates,
with all of the punch which eloquence
could inspire, were doomed to lose.
Let it be known then that married
life is the true state of happiness and
that the best guarantee OF bliss is the
certificate which may be purchased
from Clerk Otto V, Pence at one dol
lar for two persons.
Incidentlly the local colored church
realized a tidy sum from the debate.
