John Clum appears to have such
a good'opinion of hiniseli since he
succeeded in getting the post
mastership af Fairbanks that he
thinks Alaska will go to the dogs
without he is given a position as
governor, delegate, or something
of that kind. Our observation
here is that no one will be broken
hearted if Alaska secures an Alas
kan as delegate and Clum ba9 to
confine himself to the postoffice.
The Alaska papers which have
She delegate bill adopted and are
seeking candidates for the office
are a little premature. The bill
ha9 not passed and without the
conference committee can smooth
over *he differences between Cush
man and Nelson it is not likely to1
pass this session.
Seattle is going to name a street
after Valdez. We should fee! high
ly honored. Our streets are all
named but we might seleet some
portion of the trail that is full of
crooks and return the compliment
by calling that Seattle boulevard.
About time for the loca'j politi
cians to get busy and form their!
tickets for the coming election.
While the position of councilman
i» not a desirable one from any
point of view, still it is the duly of
». good citizen to fill the office when !
necessary, and it is aiso the duty i
ofieverv voter to sec that the etfi
ces-are filled by men who have tliej
interests of the town at heart and j
who will continue the conservative!
policy heretofore carried out.
The p ans of the council to pur
chase a chemical engine, have fi-1
nally matured and the order is
now in for two 60 gallon chemicals.'
which may possibly arrive on the1
©regun. Owing to the absence of1
the Court the money now in the
hands of the Clerk which belongs
to-the town could not be secured
to-pay for the new fire apparatus,
and a plan was formulated by
Mavor Miller, whereby the mer
chants of the town subscrilied to a I
fire apparatus fund sufficient
money to- pay cash for the engines
and the amounts subscribed will;
be refunded to them from the rev- j
enues of the municipal court and |
from.the license money, when it is!
Burned; over. In this way the pur
ahase is provided for at once and
the subscribers will l»e well repaid
fos the use of their money by the
improved fire protection.
The letters sent out by the Tan
ana Miners Association urging the
forming of a federation to control
the election this fall says "Beware
oi political graft. The resour-es
»f Alaska are our best graft.”
They also advise against overlook
ing a candidate because he is broke.
‘‘The miner does not expect anyone
to buy his way to be his representa
ui \ e.
Fairbanks is livening np over
the confirmation of Judge Wicker- j
sham. Long lists of names have!
leen sent bv wire to Washington ,
urging that he be not confirmed.:
and his friends have also sent pe
titions with many signatures, ask
ing that he be retained in office. \
A movement has been started by
tlhe Alaska clnh in Seattle to boost
Hx-blovernor Swineford delegate
horn Alaska. That settles his
8har.ce of election.
Walter Clark emphatically de
fies that he is or was a candidate
5r>r the governorship of Alaska.
B5e savs Alaskans urged him to
run. hut he refused. Wonder who
those Alaskans could he?
