AN ABSURD PROPOSITION
The Seattle Times thinks Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota, particularly well
qualified to make laws (or Alaska be
cause he spent three months in the dis
trict last summer. The absurdity of
such a proposition would become ap
parent to the Times if some one should
propose that Kin* county send a dele
gation to the state legislature, which
will meet atOlympia next winter, con
sisting af men whe had "visited Seattle
three months last summer." What
would the Times think of a congress
man from Seattle, for instance, who
had sp nt only three years in that city,
much less one who had "visited" the
place for "three months?"
There are as many reasons why the
laws of Alaska should be made by men
who have had a large experience in the
district, as there is why those of
Washington should be made by old res
idents of that state, and if the interests
of Seattle require that city to have a
man thoroughly identified with the
city in congress, then why should Alas
ka have to be content with a represen
tative from Minnesota?
Senator Patterson, of Colorado, was
in Alaska with Senator Nelson, and
while he is acknowledged to be one of
the ablest men in all the west, and one
who has had an experience in a pioneer
mining country similar in many re
spects to that of Alaska, he admits that
he is not qualified to serve as a legisla
tor for ^the district, and recommends
that the people be given an opportun
ity to make and execute their own laws.

A GOOD APPOINTMENT
The reappointment of James M.
Shoup as United States marshal of the
First division of Alaska will give sati ,
faction to everybody in Alaska. Mr.
Shoup is one of the best officials a west
ern people ever had. He is in close
touch with Alaskans and with the dis
trict. Be would have made an admir
able governor, though it is probably
better that he continue to serve in a
place which is of fair more importance
to the people of the district than is the
governorship.
It was a marked compliment the
president gave Mr. Shoup by reappoint
ing him two months before the expira
tion of his old term and before select
ing anyone for any of the other Alas
kan positions.
It gives the Daily Alaskan great
pleasure to congratulate Marshal Shoup
upon his prompt reappointment and to
congratulate the president upon the
wisdom of his action, but it feels that
tha people of Alaska are the most for
tunate of all those concerned and the
moat deserving of congratulations.
The thieves and toughsmust be driven
out of Skagway. The determination of
Marshal Burns to put every man in the
city who has no visible means of sup
port in jail is the proper course, and if
he require s help in the laudable work,
it must be given to him. It is the first
duty of every official in the city, mu>
nicipal and federal, to make life and
property safe. This is a time for action.

Seward Becomes a Busy Me
tropolis
The busy, buttling Alaskan metropo
lis of the great "Westward," as all that
portion of Alaska west of Sitka is
oalled, is the new city of Seward at
Resurrection bay, according to H. A.
Van Amringe, the popular representa
tive of the celebrated Cyrus Noble
whiskies.
Mr. Van Amringe has just returned
from the Westward, and he says work
is actively progressing on the Alaska
Central railway. The first locomotive
was on the Santa Ana, now en route for
Seward. It was a 46-ton Baldwin. A
large wharf has been completed for the
dooking of ocean steamships and a track
is laid on it and being continued up to
the town.
Mr. Van Amringe says Seward con
tains a population of 500 to 1000 souls,
has six saloons and a complete line of
business houses. It has the appearance
characteristic of the busy, enterprising
Alaskan town.
G. W. Dickinson, the president of the
Alaska Central, and his son, were on
the Santa Ana.
Mas Drown Rau Valdai
Fred Mattson, a sawmill man at El
lamor, |near Valdez, was drowned at
that place April II. He was going out
to a small sloop that was at anchor in
the bay when the skiff he was in cap
sized.
Mattson left a wife at Mission, Cal
iforn'a. He was an Odd Fellow and
the members of that order at Valdez
and Kllawar conducted the funeral.
