EVEYBODY TALKS; NOBODY DOES AIASKA seems to be something like Mark Twain’s weather: Everybody talks about it-but nobody does anything about it, says The Seattle Star. Senator Willis of Ohio is the latest talker. He sees the vast possibilities of the territory and says it should be developed. Now he will go back to Ohio and foiget about it. ’ A1 . T, . Probably there’s not much wrong with Alaska. It is badly governed, it is true, but it is comparatively prosper ous; its resources are being sought into development. There is no pressing need for rapid-fire utilization of everything Alaska has to offer. But if Alaska waits for congress to do anything she will wait in vain. She must dig in herself, remembering that Providence aids those who aid themselves. We fail to see wliat difference it would make if the U. S. and Canada got together on some kind of a coop erative basis in the matter of the strip of land on wThich Skagway is situate. If it will help the little old game along, why let’er buck. No use letting guy posterity reap all the benefits. We're going to be dead a long time but of course if there is anything in this evolution business pei haps we may again inhabit this earth as a good dog or something. We wonder how Captain Billy and the rest of the boys are making it. We’ll have to subscribe to . .Whiz Bang” after he gets out of here. If you have’nt met him, make his acquaintance when he arrives in Seward on his way out. He and his gang are regular chaps. Aimee vows she is broke and that Mafias all the coin. That may be true,, but Aimee is in possession of the fac tory. _ STATEMENTS OF THE DEMPSEY EXPECTS TO GET TUN NEY INSIDE SEVEN ROUNDS; WILL CHASE HIM CHICAGO, Sept. 22. <£>)—State ments of the fighters follow: Tuenny and am without a bruise or one hurt. “I have reached the peak of condition I am even more certain I will win •than when I first engaged Dempsey lasfc-year. I feel I have improved con siderably so will win without great difficulty.” Dempsey said: I’m ready for Tunney and this time I will win decisively. I think I am good enough to finish Tun ney inside of seven rounds. If he hap pens to last the limit I am sure I will be far enough out in front to win the decision. If Tunney stands hp and fights it will not take long. If I have to chase him around the ring I will certainly catch him. Tunney will find me entirely different, now, my punch is goood, my legs good, and my physical condition is all that I can ask. I will go in weighing about 195 pounds just the figure I want to be at. If I am beaten I will be willing to concede Tunney is the reaT\champion because he is going to fight a real Dempsey this time.” MORE ON BIG FIGHT GATE FALLS SHORT CHICAGO, Sept. 22. <jP)—Judging from the slow orderly way in which the crowd started pouring into th€ stadium it did not appear Rickard’s anticipated last minute .rush for tick ets would be realized and that the gate would fall short of the $3,000,000 goal.
