EDITOR THOMPSON
 TAKES HIS REST IN
 SEWARD; LIKES IT

"Why are we here?" Thompson of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner an- swered this morning. Why SHOULD we be here? What excuse has ANY man for being in Seward save that he WANTS TO BE? I certainly am not here to go into the newspaper business against The Gateway. I am here because Mother and the Baby and myself were of the same belief and escapement from work and coal shoveling might be worth while. We could have returned this morning, but we didn't: we had no desire to. Save for business, and the other babies at home, we wouldn't care if we never went back until we were warmed and rested and ready to take our foot in our hand and travel.
 "The airmen could not fly in Fair banks because they had no horizon no perspective. Stay in your own back yard, looking down your old rat hole, and your vision and understand ing become constricted and an assess ment to your own home town. Go away from there for a few days, look back upon your visioned home town over the Everlasting Hills, and the better you "get" it, the kinder and more considerate you can be to every one and everywhere therefor. needed a rest; the Girls put in with me and are going to see that we get Iit Seward was the place chosen for that"

Sutherland Regulations
 Approved by Secertary

SEATTLE, Feb. 16.-The Alaska Weekly has received Delegate Suther- lands new oil regulations for Alaskan fields, which have been approved by Secretary Work. The regulations pro- vide notice that cancellation permits must be published by the land office at Anchorage, and that 62 days will be allowed after publication for filing an application for relocations. Drawing by lots will be held the sixty-third day of all lands advertised. Provision is made that any person who goes to the location may make location dur ing the 62 day period, and is then al- lowed six months from the date of To- cation to present the lands for filing at Anchorage. Actual locators have prior rights to the ground located and precedence in all filings, except for similar actual locations made in the field

man, ill passing them in going to and from her home and the busy portions of the town, often stopped and listen ed to the music and wondered what was going on behind the doors.
 And thus she was standing one day when a man approached her and said Come on in, Sister, and we will have a dance!" She accepted the invita- tion and from that moment all inter- est in her husband, her baby and her home was lost. It was the beginning of the end. From that day on she was a regular attendant at the dance halls Her husband remonstrated but was told to chase himself. He arranged for the care of their baby and their home was scrapped.

eral government is all wrong and that little advice will go far to- ward smoothing out the tangles and straightway writes a letter giving the object of his wrath the devil and the bureau head his opinions.
 We believe, and have always con tended, that the government should pick out man to run the railroad, and then pull the plugs in the life boats. Up to the present time we believe every manager of the rail- road has been thoroughly competent, and has given the country the best in him for the development of the country at large With the possible exec ption of Mr. Smith, every off cial manager has been marked fo; slaughter ny petty jeai"usies outc'oo- ping in various railroad cor,nun:- ties and hundreds of charges have teen ;iIed.
 Now, what is the matter with let ting MT. Smith run the railroad with out giving him our advice. It can not be worth much anyway, or we would sell it to some man without railroad experience who really need ed it. Let's get behind the new man. agement in his plans for developing, not the railroad belt, but all of Alas ka. The railroad is an afl-Alaskan project, and should help the entire territory, and will, if We follow out his plans to the letter. MT. Smith has had the experience; he is prac- tical railroad man, and he is inter- ested in developing Alaska. Isn't that enough to warrant our support, or must we handicap him as badly as we have his predecessors.

of battle cleared away the young wife and mother was dead It was claim
 ed that she had killed herself. IT
 was also claimed that she had been
 shot by a jealous lover. However
 there was little law in Skagwav ar
 that time, no fuss was made over the
 affair which today lives only in the
 memory of few oldtimers.
 Leaving his little son in Skagwav
 the father went to Dawson where he
 followed his trade and nursed his sor-
 rows for several years. Other fields gold-tainted and alluring, were dis
 covered and he went to them hoping
 to find peace to his mind and rest for his tempest-tossed bosom He never dissipated and never spoke of the trouble that was always on his mind
 But he never found peace. He sent regular remittances to his son and was always seeking a new location / He was in Juneau three years ago
 and friends of former days remark ed on his aged and unusually morose appearance but those who knew what he had been through and the bur den he had borne for nearly a quarter Iof century marveled not that he was as he was. Nor were they sur prised a week ago when they read
 the short telegram previously men toned in this article. Overcome by the burden which he had so long car ried day after day and year after
 year, during which time he sought new scenes and new surroundings
 only to find the weight of his bur
 den increasing as time encroached he finally surrendered and ended it all by his own hand. Some may say his last act was cowardly one but those who remember the tragedy
 which entered into his life will desig- nate it as bravery rather than coward
 ice and they will also have confidence
 that when he fumbled for Gods latch string on the day that he laid odwn his earthly burden, he would find it.

LURE OF DANCE HALL
 RESULTS IN SUICIDE
(Stroller's Weekly)

He was 67 years of age and a pio- neer of Alaska
 That is what short telegraphic account of a recent suicide in a cer- tain Alaska town said and in addition to saying that weariness of life prompted the rash act, it was all it did say.
 The first name of the man was given wrong in the telegram, but it will not be corrected here.
 It was in the fall of '97 that an honest tradesman, a Bavarian by birth, then thirty-nine years of age, arrived in Skagway from the outside. He brought with him his wife, an at tractive girl little more than half his own age, and their baby boy only a few months old
 The man, while highly educated as we'll as being an accomplished musi- elan, preferred his humble trade and the result was that his accomplish ments were known to but very few. Modest and of a retiring disposition, the fellow made few intimate friends and was but little known.
 In those days the dance halls some times started their services as early as four o'clock in the afternoon and the young wife of the honest trades

METROPOLITAN JOURNALISM

In recent editorial we confessed our ignorance as to the meaning of 2 short headline in an exchange, and to fill our cup of humiliation to the brim, the metropolitan daily comes out with a column of explanation oi the following:
 "Kasson Dared the Blighting
 Breath of Ymir, Braved the
 Rage of the Jotuns into the
 very Heart of Neflim."
 At the time we wrote the criti cism we had hangover from the night before, and after trying it on our photograph and upside down concluded it was a crossword puzzle and handed it over to the office force for elucidation. Our foreman said that Neflim was a Montenegrin al Anchorage who was chore boy at the paper, and our pressman said that while the editor had been addicted to Jotuns he understood that he had nearly recovered. The stenograph CT opined that Ymir was a new face powder, but she had not used it on account of it's color. And that's that.
 Personally we felt like scratching whenever we said it, and thot prob ably somebody with a harelip had coined the word "Neflims," right in the office.
 Now that we have received the pc dantic outburst from our metropoli tan neighbor, all is serene and oul hose has been coiled down. Oul worthy colleague can smell the breath of Jotuns any time he can get away with 1t so far as we are concerned but it has ruined many a good mar in our time The next volley O. verbiage emanating from the nortf will pass unnoticed.
 It just shows how dense we edi tors can become and still hold oul jobs. Heather mythology and al Alaska editor should never blight the breath of Ymir together

A WORD FROM WASHINGTON

Senator Bartley Howard, in an in- terview given the Gateway Saturday, following his return from Washing ton and other Eastern cities, declared that Senator Curry and other friends of the Alaska Railway deprecated the annual crop of charges emanating from the Territory designed to in- iure certain Federal office holders We believe that this one fact has done more to injure Alaska in the minds of Congressmen than any other thing. From time to time a mana ger of the Alaska Railroad has been appointed, and within few weeks the outpouring of criticism begins. Hundreds of letters containing ac- counts of alleged wrong doings pour into the heads of departments until they are confused and disgusted, and lay the matter aside with the oft-quot- ed remark that "Alaskans never know what they want"
 And some times, being an Alas kan and listening to Alaskans, we wonder if they really do realize the serious fault they have of harping criticism of official acts; the cease less nagging of bureau heads with comments and useless advice It is a habit, because the average Alas kan is generally a man of unusually broad mind, and tolerant to a fault But he gets the idea that the Fed

Later Wheatley leased a part Of a
large ranch in Jim Hogg and Zapata
counties. Subsequent developments
made the lease extremely valuable
and Wheatley won again. The Henne,
Winch and Farriss pool, Jim Hogs
County, was brought in near the
ranch. This gave more fortune to the
pipe welder. Events in the new ex.
tension of the proven area attracted
the oil companies and they wanted
the leases Wheatley possessed. When
the deal was completed, Wheatley re-
ceived $25,000 cash and S4S0,OOO to
be paid in oil. Five locations for

EARTH HAS GOLDEN
HEART, SAYS SAVANT

PARIS, Dec. 19.-Tremendous
stores of gold exist about $500 miles
under the earth, according to Charles
Nordmann, French scientific writer
The gold is probably in a molten state,
and Professor Nordmann admits he
hasn't yet figured out a way to run a
pipe line to the center of the earth to
pump out the precious metal.
Professor Nordmann substantiates
his theory of the earth having go.1
kernel by the law of density. The
earth's density is measured by deli
cately adjusted pendulum. This pendu.
lum swings slower at the equator than
at Paris, which proves the earth's
density to be less in the tropics than
under Paris.
As you descend into a mine, taking
the scientific pendulum with you, log.
ically the instrument should swing
more slowly, as it is no longer at
tracted by the earth's crust. On "
contrary it swings more rapidly. IT,.
proves, according to DR.. Nordmannl
that the center of the earth is filled
with metals Of the greatest density
And as gold is heavier than lead, the
professor reasons that the earth has a
golden kernel.
