VALDEZ NEWSPAPERS.
II lias been repeatedly urged
Ilia I lilt' newspapers of Yaldey. do
ni)| give sufficient publicity 1 <»
111 i 11 i 11K news and too inticll III
politics. Naturally. everyone has
his own ideas of how a newspaper
should be run. Mow many of
litem would prove a success in
Mif publication business is alto
gether another question.
The newspaper aims to merit.
I lie approval of the majority of
its patrons: it first seeks lo gain
a name fur reliability in its news
service and honesty in the ex
pression id' ils opinions, although
it may «IiIV«*r radically in its views
from lliat uf its readers. If it
w»*re otherwise. instead of being
a 11|o111<l<• r of public I boilerht il
would be but a typographical
phonograph or a mechanical poll
parrol. It would lie of that class
of newspapers which buy ils edi
torial expressions by the yard and
deal lllelll Olll by the foot. Such
]»apers would fear («> express an
opinion on the slate of the weath
er, the salmon run. the mining
output or a hundred other every
day subjects.
The newspaper, like any other
business enterprise, aims to keep
abreast of I lie times, Jo hold ils
place with Ihe growth of the com
munity iu which it is published
as well as to aid thai community
in ils aspirations and ambitions.
The newspaper which tills its
duly to its community besl is Ihe
one which portrays the commun
ity life best: which, in telling of
Ihe opporl un il ies offered, or Ihe
development of its natural re
sources adheres most clos.'Iy lo
the truth.
Tin* newspapers of Valili'/., both
1 li«• Miner ami I In* Prospector,
have worked uuromil I ingly for
1 lie smri'ss of Yaldcz ami Ihc n«1—
jacenl country. They have glad
ly published ail the mining news
obtainable which carried Iho
stamp i»f re Iiahilily upon its face.
If they have ii*>1 published more
il is simply bpcause il was nol
obtainable «u* was considered of
such a nature as no| lo warrant
publicalion. A year ayo |asl win
Ier Iho people of Valdez wore
made In Icarri IIip heavy loll ex
acted upon I In* (indiscriminate
sending of niisin formal ion lo Hip
world a large. The lesson should
hp heeded and nol l'pppalpd.
TIip country surrounding Val
dez is rich enough and sutTicicnl
ly extensive lo warranl our ad
hering lo (he truth ami avoiding
Hip hack lirp from which wp arc
suffering pvpii at this limp. Grad
ually, as wp develop our lalonl
resources the world generally
will become conversant with the
''acts ami will wish to sharp in
I he prosperity which w liavp
iitilldcd for oiii'spIvps.
There are causes for I he back
wardness in thp development of
the rich resources which we have
at hand, over which we have no
control and of which we are pow
erless lo change.
The administrations of Moose
veil and Tafl have not only been
directly responsible for the re
tardment in the growth of Alaska,
but they have thrown such an
element of uncertainly around
Alaskan's investments as to keep
capital away from us. It has been
so difficult lo obtain laws under
which we might expand our en
terprises. aH to place ns in a po
sition of inactivity similar to that
of the man whose enforced fpiicl.
was due to the straight-jacket in
which lie was tightly hound.
The work now in progress in
the hills, together with a change
of the present administration lo
one more in sympathy Willi Alas
ka's needs will bring to us a new
era in which the newspapers of
Valdez will do llieir part lo bring
il about.

THE NEW8 8ERVICE.
The superiority of the Pros
pector's telegraphic news service
has been strikingly demonstrated
during Hie Chicago and Baltimore
conventions and the history mak
ing political news being made
since those notable bodies have
adjourned. This "news has been
more complete and accurate than
that of any paper published on
.the Alaskan coast. Expressions
of commendation have come to us
from those in our sister towns
eager to learn what had been done
by the political leaders of our na
tion in one or the other of the
great political parties.
It will be the aim of the Pros
pector to keep up with the im
portant news from the great out
ride world giving to its readers
day by day a belter service, pro
portioned to the support aecord
ed the paper.
