Alaskans at Washington
(Continued from Page 1.)
chored here where he has a soft suap
as an attache of the United States
Senate. But he still talks Alaska,
and the other night at the Nationul
Press Club, of which he is a member,
he kept the bo>'9 busy guessing as to
the truth and veracity of some of the
marvelous tales he told of the early
days in the Klondike and Nome.
National Committeeman Z. R Che
ney, of Juneau, who was operated on
for appendicitis at Baltimore a few
days ago is progressing fiuely, toward
recovery and is due here on Sunday.
He will probably leave for home as
soon as he is able to travel with safe
ty and comfort. Mrs. Cheney is with
him.
C. F. Cheek, of Juneau, arrived
here a few days ago from his former
home in Missouri.. Yesterday he and
Robert W. Jennings had lunch with
Speaker Champ Clark and discussed |
with him Alaska affairs, in which the
I Speaker evinced much interest. Mr. I
Cheek will leave tonight for the west, j
enroute to Juneau.
Judge J. if. Winn is in the city from I
Philadelphia and New York, where j
he has been engaged in professional j
business. He will return to Phlladel-i
. phia in a day or two, and expects to I
start for home within a week or ten
' days.
L. P. Shackleford was here on Mon
day and Tuesday. He returned on
Tuesday afternoon to New York. With
B. L. Thane, of the Alaska-Gastineau
Mining Co.. he put through a deal by
which the latter company has acquired
the Nowell Mining properties at Ber
ner's Bay. and it is stated that ex
tensive development will be undertak
en at once. Mr. Thane is now in Salt
Lake City.
T. P. McDonald, who in 1907 began
the development of a coal mine on
Bering lake, in the Katalla district,
has been here since last December
on business pertaining to his claims.
He is accompanied by Mrs. McDon
ald. Mr. McDonald has had several
interviews with Secretary of the In
terior l.ane but the Interior Depart
j ment has not yet announced its pol
icy with regard to the Alaska coal
lands and their development and no
i one here seems able to hazard even
a guess as to what that policy will
be. It is believed, however, that it
will be liberal.
Major John E. Baiiaine, of Seward.
Charles G. Heifner, of Seattle, Falcon
Joslin and others have completed the
first draft of a bill for tl\e building of
railroads in Alaska, by the govern
ment. This bill, it is understood, will
be introduced in Congress by Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon. It is based
generally upon the report of the Al
aska Railroad Commission, but the
final selection of the railroad routes
is to be left with the President.
Colonel "Dick" Ryan, of Controller
Bay came over from New York yes
terday. He is the promoter of a rail
road from Controller bay to the Ber
ing coal fields, and is opposed to the
government ownership and operation
of railroads in Alaska or elsewhere,
and will work against the proposi
tion.
Delegate James Wickersham returned
from Juneau the other day greatly
pleased with his visit. He speaks in the
highest terms of the personnel of Al
aska's first legislature and predicts
that the legislators will establish fine
records for themselves. Judge Wick
ersham frankly states that the mem
bers of Alaska's legislature will com
pare favorably with Congress itself.
Nearly all the Alaskans now in Wash
ington forgather from time to time
in the Delegate's office, where they
are always assured a cordial wel
come.
Captain Conrad Seini, a former
well known Alaskan, is in this city
from New York. Capt. Seim is among
the candidates for governor of Alaska
He has recently written an interesting
brochure on the "Introduction of Do
mestic Reindeer into Canada.' at the
request of Premier Borden. The arti
cle discusses the success that has
been achieved by our government in
the raising of reindeer in Alaska.
There promises to be a lively fight
in Congress over the new tariff meas
ure, and lobbyists are now flocking
here by the hundreds, it is claimed.
Free sugar, free wool and some other
schedules are likely to cause much
discussion.
W. H. Whittlesey, of Seward, is in
Washington from Chicago, where he
was a witness in the Alaska coal cases
While here Mr. Whittlesey received a
telegram conveying the news of the
death of his wife in an automobile
accident, in Seattle. Judge Finnegan,
U. S. Commissioner at Seward, is al
so here, but will leave for home early
next week.
Casey Moran, well known all over
Alaska and the Klondike, Is on the
staff of the Washington Post, and he
can always be found around the lead
ing hotels boosting Alaska and con
demning the government for its neg
lect of the territory. Casey has a plan
up his sleeve for providing publicity
of Alaska and its resources which he
has laid before Secretary Lane.
John H. Bullock, tried and con
convicted in Tacoma last winter on a
t
charge of complicity in defrauding the ,
government in the sale of coal to Al
aska army posts, is here. His case is.
being reviewed by the Department of
Justice and he is confident that he
will be exonerated.
It. I). Glddlngs, of the Alaska Road J
Commission, is taking in the sights of
Washington. Tills is his first visit (
East, and his comparisons are greatly
in favor of the "great and boundless '
West."
Mrs. H. E. Shields, formerly of
Nome, but now living at Richmond, j
Va., came up this week to visit Major
and Mrs. Strong at the Raleigh Ho
tel. ,
John T. Riordan, a candidate for an
Alaska U. S. marshalship, has been
here for some weeks. Mr. Riordan
now lives at Nome, but formerly re
sided in the Third Judicial Division.
Eugene Ailes, formerly a Nome
banker, is now connected with a
Washington banking firm.
W. H. Dobbs, an Alaskan pioneer
in the moving picture business was in
town the other day from New York,
where he is exhibiting Alaska pic
tures.
Donald A. McKenzle, who is Inter
ested in Alaska coal lands is busy ev
ery day trying to help untangle that
burning question.
WILSON AND WHAT HE
MEANS TO ALASKA
President Wilson is a man of sterl
ing qualities. He enters upon his du
ties with lofty ideals, and strength of
character sufficient to brush aside the
obstacles which made President Taft's
trail look like the markings on a
weather chart at the end of a capric-1
ions season.
President Wilson has asked for the
support of a united people, regardless I
of political faith, and we believe he
has it. In fact, it is doubtful if any
previous President in recent times
could boast of a stronger support at
the commencement of his administra
tion. It is the kind of support that
spells success, and if President Wil
son fails in the accomplishment of
those things which he has set about
to do, it will not be because the peo
ple were not with him. Bnt he will
not fail. He is not the kind of a man
to fail, and we venture the prediction
that he will be regarded as a greater
man at the end of his administration
than he now is.
Of what significance President Wil
son's presence In the White House is
to Alaska, is a matter yet to be de
decided. We know that Alaska will
bo permitted to develop under Demo
cratic rule, but what reforms will be,
we will probably not know until Pres
ident Wilson presents "his views to
Congress. In the meantime, there is
consolation In the thought that we will
be treated fairly at all events, and we
believe that once the administration
has decided to act, no moss will be
allowed to gather on the plans and
specifications.
Altogether, it is a bright outlook for
the country at large, and for Alaska
in particular, and the signs indicate
that the wheels of reform will begir
turning ere many days have passed.
?Fairbanks Times.
ONLY COMPETENT MEN
FOR FAIRBANKS OFFICE
Insofar as concerns the appoint
ment of Democrats to the places
which will become vacant in this di
vision, we have the assurance of lo
cal party leaders that no candidates
will be endorsed who do not possess
all of the qualifications necessary to
the successful and satisfactory admin
istration of the offices they seek.
That is a good starter, and if the ter
ritorial committeemen will stick cloBe
ly together to such a policy, the pub
lic will be well served during the
Democratic administration, and the
party will be strengthened materially.

COL. W. P. RICHARDSON
BOOSTS ADMINISTRATION
"It is my opinion that more atten
tion will be given to the development
3f Alaska by the new administration
than ever before," said Col. W. P.
itichardson, who has charge of the
construction of government roads in
Alaska, when seen at the Seattle ho
tel this morning.
Col. Richardson is returning to the
North, from Washington, I) C\, where
he spent the winter. He bases his '
opinion on what he lias heard from
the White House and the general .
feeling in Washington. !
"Of the special Alaska appropria- ;
tion of $155,000, about $100,000 will '
probably be used in the construction !
of roads from Valdez to Fairbanks," j
said Col. Richardson this morning. .
"The other $55,000 of the appropria- ?
tion of congress will probably be used .
in the construction of a protecting ]
dike at Valdez against the glacial ;
floods. In the past years the citi- ?
zens of Valdez have worked to pro
tect themselves against the great
floods which come down on that city
in the summer time from the big ,
glacier. Notwithstanding their efforts
however, large areas of property have
been destroyed each year, and the
government now has taken the pro
tection of the Alaska city in its own
hands."
Col. Richardson is planning to re
main in the city for three or four days
in order to settle minor business
matters, after which he intends to re
turn to Alaska.?Seattle Times.
