—Seward 'Gateway.
TO ENFORCE THE LAW
it bag come. Three men have
te~n arrested and charged with esell
>:ir n/oxicating liquor without a
license.
1His means that three men ar&
charstd with not only the violation
of a tederal law, but the violation
of a higher law, that of flagrant
ly «'!?rt-jrarding the will of the peo
ple, who by the'American right or
rule as expressed through the se
cre' ballot, prolrbited the sale or
nianu'&ctUTe of intoxicating liquor
in Skagway last Juae.
Jiidrh Jennings refused to grant
t*e s'Joon men of Skagway a li
cense. This den'ai of the Federal
Government, expressed thru j the
Judr.a oF the'Federal Court should
have been sufficient reascwi for all
Inw abiding citizens O uphold the
H:gnity of such a ruling. | But thje
rpa«.'t has'heen Innumerable ex
amples of intoxication on the pub
lic streets. | It is safe to as
sum.< that the persons'so intoxicat
ed secured therir liquor here.
Keiacnstrance seemed of no avail
and at last the authorities have
been Irvok^d to secure the en
forcement of the lav, ami it is
reasonable to believe that from this
time forward they will exercise a
vlgiKac1* that will reduce to a mln
•mum the 6ale of intoxicants in
Skaswsy , 1 1
Murder and theft are unlawful
and still cases come up where it
<3 proven that both fcrimea bave
been committed.' TJlie law makes
s'renuous efforts to stamp out thesa
crimes, andl di'igently prosecutes
All oifenders. ^It will do likewise
v * JMBU
'u casts where the "ftry" law hag
been violated. The autho.iities
have signified their IntfjnUon, of
diligently anfaraing law.
XEN ANA'S GROWTH IS RAPID
While it is not au umeom
iaou thing in this couutry fail tawus
to spring up. overnight, as (it were,
lhe rapidity with which Nenana
buildings are taking form exceeds
eien th^eajpectations cf those 'far
tslpbted investors who put their mo
ney it.to property ut the time: oI the
lo» saJe. And ,the growth, o£ Kb a
town is of a most substantial char
acter the majority a£ the buildings
now under construction h&vHng mor
the,appearance •£ permaneuce than
frame structure# usually seen in
northern towns.
T1 growth of the tQwnJ bs^ been
remarkaibie in every; way. but
evon greater progress would have
he^.* made had tltelot sale(been held
a month.earlier tvid if UuUdiw?. ma
triial had been more plentiful.
Scor s of property oiwnera wgne un
able to build this year on( account
of unfavorable conditions, and ma
ny of the structures and business
block isow (in ourse of construction
have been, greatly delayed, all of
which acted as a checkt to the
grow f of the town. But for that,
Nenana today (would rank among
♦he firs' cities in the territory in;
ever lespect. i '
These things are mentioned, not
as an apolqgyt for the absence 'of
buildings that might! f have been,
but t direct attention, to the build
ing activity wthich, is to be expect
ed with'the coming o£ ainother sea
son The indications are that' ^ftiere
there is one building noiv there will
be a' least a doz|e» a year hence.
The fact that slxty-footr permits
for permanent buildings Were issued
during the firs* two months of the
t wn's existence shows that confi
dence in the future of Nenana is not
lacking and the steady advance In
the value of property is a further
evi'ence off solid growth.
