The naming of W. B. Hoggatt as
governor of Alaska will receive a
hearty indorsement in this immed
iate section, and is a great victory
for the First judicial district in the
face of the Swineford combination
of the Third district. Mr. Hogatt
will fill the position with credit to
the administration, people of Alas
ka and himself, and when he takes
the reins of office Alaska will have
a progressive man in office. In
particular can Juneaircongratula'.e
herself on the appointment of Mr.
Hoggatt as he is known to favor
this heavily populated section of
Alaska as the capital. Mr. Hog
gatt is a graduate of the Annapolis
naval academy, having served for
several years in the navy, retiring
after the Spanish-American war,
as a Lieutenant. Coming to Alaska
a few months later he engaged in
mining at the Jnalin mine and is
to-day one of the hrst posted men
in Alaska on her minerals and
other resources.—Juneau Dispatch.
Former Gov. A. P. S^wmcford of
Alaska appeared before the House
committee on territories to urge
the granting of territorial govern
ment to Alaska. He said thaf un
der the court government which
now exists the system of taxation
is unsatisfactory.
The response to questions as to
where the capital of Alaska should
be. he said either at Seward or
Valdez. When asked if it would
be possible for menders of a terri
torial Legislature from remote
parts of the territory to reach the
•capital, Mr. Swineford said water
travel was possible for persons in
nearly all parts of the territory
and that railway development
would soon make all points access
able.
Whether we like it or not, the
fact remains that travel to the
Tanana from the outside this year
is going by way of Valdez. Either
that or there is no travel from the
outside to that country for it is
evident that mighty little of it is
coming this way.—Whitehorse
Star
Congressman Tawney 01 Min
nesota will introduce a bill author
izing the use of Alaska wood for
the purpose of manufacturing pa
per for government use.
A stronger effort than usual will
be made this year to collect Alaska
licenses in order to add to the road
fund. More collectors will be ap
pointed in order to insure the close
collection of all possible revenue
from that source.
“Tex” Alexander, writing fr-mi
Seward says:
“This is an ideal Alaska town. i.
e. a one man’s town, therefore
there is no municipal government
or school house so Uncle Sam col
lects 115 00 or 120.00 in license
taxes and in return re nts a house
pays a teacher and digs stumps out
of the streets with the “chaingang.”
“Nearly all the lawyers are eh< -
chacoes and irorn ali accounts arc
not making a fortune.”
Mr. Clum, prominently in* i -
tioned for governor of Alaska, will
be remembered as the po.-iai oHi
cial wliO established the Skagwuy,
Sheep Camp, Dyea and interior of
Alaska poslofhces in 189'J. Mr
Clum made a hurried trip down
the river and when the boat would
stop he rushed up to a likely look
ing man and ordained him custo
dian of the government mail.
Later he was at Nome representing
the department and then located
in Fairbanks, where recently he
was appointed postmaster. Clum
had a strong poll with the depart
ment and has been able to keep go
ing on stampedes as a government
employee. In no wise is he an
Alaskan and his appointment
would prove a keen disappoint
ment ooming as it would in the
face of the application of such Alas
kans as Hoggatt and Heid.—Dis
; patch.
The Delegate's Dream
I want to be a delegate and sit in
congress’ ball.
I’ve Daniel Webster’s eloquence
and Clay’s immortal gall;
Just put me once upon the floor,
and you may safely bet
They’ll know Alaska’s on the map
if they don’t know it yet!
! I’ll work appropriations through,
for a harbor at Cbignik,
I'll have the governor at Nome
ere I’ve been there a week;
The streets of Council I’ll have
paved with artificial stone.
And give Solomon a lighthouse,
the finest ever known!
I’ll have a railroad running front
St. Michael to Cape York,
A first-class military road from
Candle to East Fork;
'A cable from Cape Blosson to Bhift
and Topkok too.
And a might v fleet of ha tleships
patrol ing Kotzebue.
And when in nineteen hundred
r ight, I sit in Teddy V chair
i’ll move the nation’s capi'ul
iro n Washington uptlier \
Ai d x*. i;at I’ll d" for all the hoys,
and what I’ll do f.irvou.—
.mix. just elec: me delegate, and
you’ll sec xvhat I il do.

Severe W eatlrer.
This winter lias broken all
records, to the Westward, for bad
l weather, with in many res di-ws
! trous results. At Unga thiriy-two
water ( rafts, large and small, were
j driven on shore and wrecked. At
1 the Mt Coilani Fishing and Trading
i Co’s Station at Pirate Cove the
three-masted Schooner Stanley was
blown on shore. T1 e Schooner
Pirate and a large gasoline launch
shared the same fate. At Fal
I
! mouth Harbor is the wreck of a
• large three-masted schooner, eup
I posed to he the Zampa, Kohler
I Master, belonging to the Green
jbaumCod Fishing Co. No survi
j vors have been thus far reported.
Her crew consisted of eighteen
men.
At the various fishing stations,
wharves were wrecked and fishing
! boats, by the dozen, were broken
up. The Seattle winter fishing
Schooner, Mary Ann, 125 tons,
(Capt. Fassell and t n men and
seven boats), was totally destroyed.
After the storm the schooner was
sold for 127. Fortunately no lives
were lost, although some of the
crew narrowly escaped a watery
| grave. The railroad track of the
t Unga Apollo Mine and their freight
: w harf suffered considerable damage
j by the general washout and about
tf.'OO. of injury was done to the
! property of the Coal Co. at Coal
Harbor.
