toeing received by Bxuni from Cor
dova, Chitina and other towns is
having its effect at Washington.
While there is a hope that ho may
be rejected, the tide is beginning
to turn in his favor and there is
already talk here that Valdez has
done a most impolitic act.
Note.—The .Prospector did not
send to the Alaskan any informa
tion regarding the appointment of
Kxum as marshal and the infor
mation above must have been sent
by some opponent of Kxum's or
a friend of the Alaskan.
Appointment of U. S. Marshal.
The appointment of K. W. Kx
uiu as United Stales marshal
comes somewhat as a surprise to
a large pari of the people of this
division. When lie sailed from
Cordova live weeks ago it was on
ly known to three; or four that he
had any idea of seeking the po
sition. And he did not fully de
termine upon this course until af
ter he reached Washington and
took the matter up with his po
litical friends, who are powerful
in I he councils of the new admin
istration. Mr. Kxum has been a
resident of Cordova and Chilian
Tor l he past four years, lie is a
man who has held many positions
of trust and responsibility. Me
has cxeculive capacity and cour
age, ami should make an ideal
marshal, a position which he has
heretofore held with some dis
tinction in the slates.
Hcporls come from Washing
ton lhal protests against his con
lirninlion have conic from Valdez.
In a way Ibis is lo lie expected.
Our neighboring town had a
hunch of applicants for the office,
and they realized Ihe value of
having a resident chosen, as the
marshal's office is a position
which carries much patronage.
Under the present and former ad
ministrations Valdez, has been
well taken care of. while, in con
nection. with judicial appoint
ments, the Copper River country
has had some notoriously raw
deals. It was expected to con
tinue the prestige for Valdez, and
there is naturally keen disap
pointment because of the selec
tion of a man from this section.
KH'orl.s will he made to prevent
the continuation of Mr. Kxum, in
which l.lie various factions will
unite, each hoping to gel their ;
mini in Inter.
II is known Hint many ol these
contestants 1J0 not possess all the
virtues in the decalogue, and arc
liberal in their views of personal
conducl. So it is presumed they
are now busilv unearthing any |
unfortunate and to be regretted;
transgression in He- private tile!
of I he new appointee, with the one j
idea of using a |»n1 commission j
to now prevent his taking an of- j
lice that so many assume be-j
longs to Valdez, by right. As a;
matter of principle they can hold
no grudge against Mr. Kxum, but
his ability and capacity to im
prove upon (lie present conducl of
the marshal's office cannot be
«pjesljoned, so other means must
be resorted to in the hope of dis
crediting him. As an official
holding any private or public
trust, there is no intimation that
Mr. Kxum has ever I.. derelict:
on the contrary, lie has been
faithful and efficient.
The broad spirit of Alaskans
tends to throw I lie cloak of char
ily over the shoulders of an of
fending man or woman, when they
have injured only themselves,,
paid I he penally and then seek to
oul live the momentary lapse. Af
ter Air. Kxum is continued by the
Senate those same dissenters to
the westward will undoubtedly ex
tend the glad hand of welcome to

of town have signed a petition to

speedily continued. While there
is little d-mbl about favorable ae-"

of our neighbors to the westward
