Election comes new Tuesday. On thai day men will bo chosen for
our Territorial Legislature aud National anil State law making bodies. The
Alan who stands for re-election as our delegate to Congress has beeu t. ere
one term, we quote from his speech at Juneau in which he gives an account
of his Stewardship:
"Now 1 am not going to attempt a discussion of what I did
not do in Congress, just think what a long, long period of time
it would occupy. 1, of course, have not accomplished wuat I
have hoped to 1 have not'Accomplished all my ambition reach
ed to wuen 1 went to Congress. No public man ever accom
plished he hoped to, he was always disappointed, his am
bitions were disappointed, and yet there is no uieasurement ex
cept by comparison, and 1 know of no standard by which I may
measure my accomplishments other than the accomplishments
of my predecessors.
"Two Democrats preceded me in office, occupying four
years .u my present seat in Congress. I have beeu in Congress
one aud one-half year*, and In that time 1 have passed into law
almost twice as many bills of my own authorship as my two
Democratic predecessors passed together. Those bills average
about the same in importance as the bills that were passed by
my predecessors. That does not count the pension bill or the
items of appropriation. 1 was able to puss one new pension bill,
and to secure three Increases of pension."
That looks like a fair record on the face of it. And It stands to real
son t!i;it having accomplished that much be can do as much tno.-e the com
ing session if he is returned. There is a persistent hope that Alaska's new
day is dawr.iug. That new day in the minds of many Is associated with a
broader policy of development of the Territory than has prevailed in pre
vious administrations. We believe voters can help it on by voting the He
publican Ticket straight.
ADVANCED GHOIND
■
The Rectors of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Chicago have
resolved to marry no members of that church without they have a medical
certificate of good health and Htuess to marry. In taking this step these
men are bringing forcefully to the attention of the people of the United
States that if we are going to have healthy childreu, the parents of such
children must be healthy. The reasonableness of it; the necessity for it,
is too obvious to need .Tgument. It may take time, but the movement will
undoubtedly grow. This action on the part of these ecclesiastics will pro
bably not prevent any coupie from marrying, but members of that church
who mar.y without the pale of the church, will, by so doing, advertise
themselves as against the ruling or untitled to marry. If this ruling had
generally prevailed heretofore, thousands of sickly young women and uu
healtuful children, would not be bemoaning their fate today.

Vancouver. B. C„ Nov. Rec
ommendations concerning the future
of the Pacific Great Eastern railway
a ill he made by the government at
the next session of the B. C..legis
lature. Premier John Oliver an
nounced on his return from an in
spection trip. The nature of these
recommendations will be determined
in the meantime.
The premier's survey followed pub
lication of the report ot .Johni G.
Sullivan, consulting engineer, who
condemned the entire undertaking
and :.eld out no hopes for th«^ futjirt
of the project which has cost the
taxpayers of the province more than
forty-four million dollars.
As originally surveyed,, the Pa
cific Great Eastern was designed to
serve the territory between North
Vancouver and Prince George, a
stretch of four hundred and seventy
two miles. The line has been buili
and is in operation front North
Vancouver to Whytecliffe, a distance
of twelve and one-half miles, and
from Squamish to Quesnel, three
hundred and fifty miles. .From Ques
nel to Cottonwood, 17 ^ miles, steel
is laid but the road is not In oper
ation. Betweau Cottonwood creek
and Red Rock creek, 45 miles, ties
and steel fastenings are on the
junction of the Pacific Great Eastern
and the Grand Trn«r* Pacific, one
mile east or Prin<*« George, the
track is laid but not lm operation.,
- -m
I This distance is eighteen miles,
j Two and one-half million pounds
| of steel, nearly enough for the con
1 struction of a bridge over the Cot
tonwood river, has been fabricated
at Walkervllle, Out., and Is awaitin;
shipment. It has been paid for. To
complete this bridge 190,000 pounds
mora steel must be purchased, con
crete foundations must be built and
S40.000 feet of a total of S.000,000
feet of trestles required must be
purchased. The remainder of the tres
tie work has been provided.
Completion of the gap between
I Quesnel and Prince George would
<-ost about $2,000,000 more and the
whole line from North Vancouver to
Priiice George, an added $6,000,000
according to Mr. Sullivan's reoort
Necessary renewals in the next ten
years. Mr. Sullivan Deneves, would
cost about $8,000,000 at present
construction prices.
GENERAL "JIM" ASHTOX
HKL1) IX $1,000 BOND
About two weeks ago the motor
schooner Iskum. of Tacoma, euroute
from Siberia to Tacoma with a car
go of furs, whalebo:ij and ivory cu
rios valued r.t $100,000, entered the
harbor at Soward. Shortly aftei; her
arrival Deputy Marjhal Ralph Reod
of Seward procuied a search warrant
and proceeded to soarch the vessel
for liquor, with the result that
twelve cases of Black and White
scotch whiskeys and two cases of
Hudson Bay ruin were uncovered
ri d confiscated, and the captain. Jf.
W. Putta, nnd the purser and au
porcargo. Geuerul J. W. Ashton.
wore placed under arrest. togathor
with the vessel, for violation of t'10
Volstead Act.
At a praliminary ne.-irtng Captain
Putta and General Ashton were held,
to the grand Jury under bonds of
$1,000 each. The vessel was also re
leased undor a bond of $10,000, and
sailed for Tacoma.
The Iskum is owned by the Phoe
nix Northern Trading Company, a I
Tacoma concern.
General "Jim" Ashton Is one of
the best known lawyers and poli
ticians on the Paclflc Coast' and a
few years ago was chief counsel for
the Northern Paclflc Hallway Com
pany. His recsons for being on a
I whaling boat in the Arctic are not

Alaska News Letter
i-i a .
of Importance
During the day scores of former
Alaskans u:id northerners, now In the
city, registered at the Alaska depart
ment. and* viewed the elaborate Al
askan exhibits, which are at the ser
vice of visitors the year around.
Seattle is now enjoying a steady
improvement in business and con
servative business men feel that the
city is now started on what will^be
the most substautlal and longest
sustained period of growth of its his
tory.
The Yukon Gold output this year
will total a million and a quarter
ounces, and the silver output from
Mayo shipped to date is 750,000
ounces. Plans for a $150,000 post
office building at Cordova have been
received by local post office officials.
The building will be three storioB
and will house all the government
offices there.
Charles D. Garfield, director of the
Alaska department of the Chamber,
made an address. Illustrated by a
large number of stercoptican slides.
He deplored the practice of many in
refering to Alaska as a land of snow
icicles and dog teams. Alaskans
are hopeffll, he said, that many of
the restrictions that have hampered
the development of Alaska wllr soon
be removed.
President Harding wired: "On the
occasion of the commemoration of
the fifty-fifth anniversary of the
transfer of territorial functions to
Alaska, I extend greetings and heart
iest congratulations to the citizens
of Alaska and their Seattle friends.
Alaska has richly justified the ex
pectations of the statesmen who se
cured it for tho United States, and
the future, in my judgment, holds
even brighter possibilities."
Less than twelve days from Pitts
burg was the time of a train of 38
fars of steel delivered to the Alas
ka Engineering Commission on Sun
day for the Alaskan railway. The
Latouche of the Alaska Steamship
Company loaded an installment of
the material and the steamship Skag
way will follow with another cargo
| The Latouche took in addition two
passenger coaches for the railway.
The supplies and equipment will be
landed at Anchorage.
Seattle's long-cherished great ho
tel Is about to become a reality, for
a lease has just been signed whereby
the United hotels company of Amer
ica, operators of 18 big hotels thru
out the eastern United States, afnd
Roy Carrulhers. manager of the
Waldorf 1 Astoria of New York, will
lease arid operate the new 600-room
three million dollar hotel to be
built on an entire block between
Fourth and Fifth avenues and Uni
versity and Seneca streets. Construc
tion will begin about Jan. 16, and
it will be completed in the spring of
1924. The furnrshings will cost
$600,000.
Tlie fifty fifth anniversary of the
taking over of Alaska by the United
States was fittingly celebrated on
Wednesday evening at the Chamber
of Commerce, under the direction of
the Alaska Department of the Cham
ber. The assembly rooms and Alas
ka department rooms were filled with
former Alaskans and friends of the
territory, during the day and evin-,
il-.g. Gov. Scott C. Bone wired: Al
aska is no longer a land of tomor
row, but a land of today. AJaska is
duly observed and fittingly celebrat--;
ed throughout the territory. The
fifty-fifth anniversary emphasizes
again the farsighted .statesmanship
of William H. Seward and the rec
ord of progress during the years
demonstrates ai.ew the wisdom of
the purchase of this vast domain
i from Russia. Each succeeding year
will demonstrate all this more sub
stantially and conclusively.''
