The coincideric goes still further In)

On Saturday night Mr. Charles F.

the Nugget and he will go outs'de
on the Victoria in a few days for a
vacation as well as to look after
some Interests which require his at

the Nugget for two years and during
that period has got out the dally
paper’and'also prepared for the pmss
three annual editions of the Mining
and Dredging Magazanic which are
generally acknowledged to be the
most comprehensive and best of their
kind ever produced In Alaska. He Is
a conscientious, forceful writer who
does not spare himself when gather
ing news and setting It down. He
has been a resident of Seward pen
insula for sixteen years and during
that long period has made a wide
circle of acquaintances almost every
one of whom is also a friend. "Char

leave Nome with the kindly wishes
of a host of friends and when he
comes back, as Is not unlikely, he
will be sure of a warm welcome.
In accordance with his farewell
promise to the Kennel club Mr. John
Borden has sent on a massive silver
cup which is now on exhibition in the
Durling and Dean window. It weighs
12 pounds and stands about 20
inches high. The inscription reads,
• Marathon Dog Race Cup, presented
to Nome Kennel Club by John Ror
dcn, 1916,” This beautiful and val
uable trophy will be contested for
over a 26-mile course which will be
about down to the Cape Nome read
house and return. The donor has re
quested that the race be run when
tiack and weather conditions are
favorable for record breaking. A date
w'll be set by the club directors some
time In the spring before the Sweep
b’akes. The cup must bo won three
times by the same team owner before
It passes into permanent possession
but not necessarily In succession. A
smaller cup was sent by Mr. Borden
to become the property of the winner
of this season’s Marathon, and he in
tends to duplicate this gift each «ea
son. In commenting on Mr. Borden's
princely gift one of the prominent
Kennel club members said: "We
knew that Borden would send some
thing fine but we did not expect a
silver barrel."

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON
GRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
Riggs building, Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON, D. C., October—In
a statement today by its Chairman,
Representative Frank P. Woods, of
Iowa, the National Republican Con
gressional Committee urged the re
•. action of Judge James Wlckersham
as a delegate to congress from Alaska.
•'Alasksr.s could not select a better
men to represent the territory, in
congress than Judge Wlckersham,”
said Chairman Woods.
“Hs long service In congress of
more than seven years has equipped
him .from experience in congressional
affaires, to represent the people of
Alaska In Washington better than
any one else in the territory. Always
"‘gilant for the interests of Alaika
a-^d the ration. Judge Wlckersham is
one of the most valuable public .er
vants In congress.
“A study of his work as a member
o' the territories, mines and mining,
public lands, military affairs and In
dian affair! committee shows that
ne has done more in congress for the
deve.opmeni of Alaska than any other
member.
"The national republican congres
sional committee balleves that -he
people of Alaska will recognize the
eminent services and high character
tf Judge Wlckersham by re-electing
him as a delegate to congress by a
large majority.”—Adv.
NOll.vE.

CANDLE ITEMS.
Messrs. Jean Kelly, Wm. Winnie
and A. Shifflln have Just ^arrived
from Bear creek where they have
spent a very satisfactory season ml ti
ll*.
O'Sullivan has Just returned from
Dime. He reports the Candle con
tingent well and the camp prosper
ous looking.
Mr. M. F. Moran, our representative
in the last legislature was a visitor
in Candle and called on al his old
friends. Mr. Moran is aspiring to
senatorial honors this election, and,
during his sojourn with us, the man
agement of the moving picture syndl
catu Kindly afforded him an oppor
tunity of addressing the Candle elec
torate. Mr. Moran in his address
strongly urged on the electors the de
sirability of endorsing some candidate
a* our particular representative but
«o far the electorate have failed to
take action on his recommendation,
i As Candle has no representative 'n
the lit Id and has formed no conced
ed political alliance, it appears as
though, the interests of all sections of
Seward peninsula being practically
identical, by tacit consent we were
..ifeU'ed to oxo’clse our preference on
j ileciion day and help the winner win.
Mr. Moran, in company with Mr.
Ptandish O’Sullivan, paid a visit to
Dims c-eek in the interests of his
candidature. From Dime Mr. Moras
Intends visiting Council and Norton
bay points before concluding his
itinerary at Nome.
