There is now no rtoubj of the
election of Cale and \\ nskcy ns
delegates to Congress from Alaska,
' and it behooves the people of this
section to present to these men n
statement of onr wishes regarding
legislation at the coming sessions.
Hr. Calc, we are informed, In s
personally pledged himself to work
for the division of the Third dis
trict and a liberal appropriation
for construction of wagon-roads.
While this is the principal legisla
tion that we arc in need of now,
there is another matter which is
important, and which the residents
of other districts will favor, and
that is the passing of a law allow
ing incorporated towns to change
their boundaries. Such a law has
passed the House and is now in
the Senate and it is more than
likely that if any pressure is
brought to bear on Congress it will
become a law. The passage of
this law will l>e of great local value
and we should ask our delegate to
use every effort to secure its enact
ment.
The movement to organize a
mining exchange here is one that
should receive the hearty support
of every citizen. It will do more
to advertise this section and spread
leliable information through the
eastern cities regarding the won
derful mineral resources of Prince
William Sound and the interior
then could be done in any other
manner. It is a notorious fact that
there is an idea prevalent in the
States that this section is a district
of wildcat schemes, and a reliable
conservative mining exchange,
properly organized and conducted
can do much to correct this er
roneous idea.
