GOVERNOR STRONG “"■RLE . J
WASH. AUTHORITIES ST'.'LE THE AFFfiiH
Ah Wong Ching, who is in the way
of being a real artist In his chosen pro
fession of cookery, anil whose delight
ful service is at once the envy and
admiration of every woman who has
ever tasted of his multitudinous and
delicious creations, came near causing
a breach of diplomatic relations be
tween the T’nited States and Great
Britian the other day, says J. .1. Under
wood in a Seattle paper. likewise
Ching caused Mnj. .1. r. a. Strong, the
dignified and urbane governor of Alas
ka, to become very much perturbed, to
say nothing of considerable anxiety
that he caused to Mrs. Strong.
Also Ching was responsible for a
number of telegrams being sent to
the secretary of the treasury and l he
secretary of state of the United States
and certain high officials of Canada,
as well as to a number of othet im
portant personages in Ihr affairs of
both nations.
Cuing is an American born Cnitiuse
Whose culinary ability was discox el'eo
several y ears ago by Ldcut. M Ilford If,
Uoggult, of tlie United Stales navy.
Uoggatt, being a bachelor at that time,
engaged U'lilng,and, tu me course of
Human events, when iioggalt becuun
governor of Alaska, lie. naturally look
Ching to Hie north with him. i ding
became a fixture, and also somewhat
of a factor, in the gubernatorial affairs
of the great territory.
Al'etr a wiilie lioggatt married and
decided lie would like to live in New
fork, so lie gate up governing as a
steady profession, lie didn't think that
Ching,then being accustomed to the
balmy temperature of Juneau, could
withstand the rigors of the New Vurlt
climate, so when a new governoi was
appointed, and lliut governor being oi
the same political faith as himself, and
therefore one to lie treated witli kindly
informality retiring Governor ilugg.itt
said to Gov. Walter E. Clark.
"Say, Walt, old pal, 1 wouldn't do
this for another soul on earth but you,
but I'm going to lei you keep Ching.
treasure him as you would your most
priceless possession. As a cook he
stands without a peer in all this gloat
and glorious country."
And Cliing passed into the service
of Governor and Mrs. Clark.
Peaceful happy, contented years
years of gastronomic joy, unmarred
by digestive disturbances, rolled on
and Governor Clark added forty pounds
or thereabouts to his avoirdupois. But
an administration of opposing political
faith being elected to office, In*, too imt
withstanding the unbounded joy of
living in a gubernatorial mansion
where Ching presided over the kitchen,
tired of the job of being governor of
Alaska.
He yenrnert to H" back into I,us,
ness as a newspapei wrlt.-i in wl h
lie I'ould make less monev . Iml It
mon fun than he could hnve by h. -
governor, under an ..
did not eoncur-in his pnllth al , • ■..■ r
The incoming Incumbent. u ii
nemoernt. was therefore on, pi pi.
treated in a dignified way, so Re
tiring Governor Clark, in tlie manner
of one making a Courth of .1 uly oration,
said:
"My dear Governor Strong: it gives
me tlie very greatest pleasure la wel
come you to this Northern Wonderland,
and, in turning over to ymi tlie office
of governor of Alaska. I hav e tlie honor
also to present you with I lie servicer
of Ching. which you nia., i <1.1.11

I tills great artist, 1 cannot inale u long
j talk at this time, hut in closing, I

And Ching stayed on at Juneau.
