HERRON TO FIGHT
THE DELEGATE
Believed He Will Work to Eliminate
Shackleford from Control of
> the Party in Alaska.
SEWARD, Dec. 13.—Chas. T. Her
ron, Republican territorial commit
teeman for Alaska, will fight the at
tempt of Delegate Wickersham to se
cure the nomination of the Republi
can party at the convention to be
held next spring.
In commenting on the dispatches
which have been received by the
Seward Gateway, and which have
been going the rounds of the Alaska
press, to the effect that Wickersham
was seeking the Republican nomina
tion and would have the support of
Herron, the committeeman gave out
the following statement:
“It is absolutely untrue that I am
working for Wickersham to secure
the Republican nomination as I in
tend to do all in my power to pre
vent that gentleman from obtaining
the nomination at the hands of the
Republican convention.”
While in Valdez Mr. Herron met
several of the leading Republicans of
Valdez and stated that he had been
in communication with the party
leaders of the other divisions and be
lieved that Seward would be selected
as the place where the convention
will be held. The date of the con
vention has not been arranged but it
is believed that it will be held late
in March or early in April.
| It is understood that Herron is dc
jsirous of eliminating both Wicker
sham and Shackleford from control
of the party, believing that the only
way upon which the ranks of the
party can be united, in the past he
has been a staunch supporter of
I Shackleford and may continue to do
| so if the latter does not attempt to
foist Wickersham on the party.
If the threatened break between
Shackleford and Herron for control
of the party materializes it will be a
pretty fight before the convention
next spring as both men are working
to secure the support of the different
divisions.
SAYS ANCHORAGE
WELL SUPPLIED
!
Plenty of Food in New Town but Se
rious Shortage of Winter
Clothing Is Re|)orted.
Captain Austin E. Lathrop of Cor
dova. was a passenger on the North
western last night, returning to Cor
dova from the westward. On the
steamer was a large shipment of hay,
grain, lumber, moving picture outfit
and general freight which he was un
able to land at Anchorage and which
Is being taken taken back to Cordova
to be stored for the winter.
Capt. Lathrop states that the re
ported shortage of hay and grain in
the new town is an error as there is
sufficient to last all winter. He sent
his stock feed to Anchorage early
last summer and believes the other
transfer men took similar precau
tions.
Other passengers on the steamship
Northwestern who had come over the
winter trail from Anchorage to Sew
ard assert that there will be no seri
ous shortage of general supplies in
Anchorage as the stores are all well
stocked with groceries. The meat
markets are also well supplied with
fresh meats and there is believed to
be an abundance of bacon and ham
to last until the opening of naviga
tion.
Winter clothing is reported to be
lacking as many who went in last
Summer were ill prepared for the cold
weather which has been experienced
this winter. Several dog teams are
now en route from Seward to An
chorage with sled loads of clothing
. to meet the demands of the trade.
The regular freight rate per pound
which is In effect between Seward
and interior points are as follows:
To Anchorage, 26 cents; Knlk, 30
cents; Susltna, 36 cents; Takotna, 80
cents, and Iditarod, $1 per pound.
The passenger rates between Sew
ard and Anchorage on the mail sleds
are (26, with the passengers taking
the chance of having to mush over
the rough places. The rate from
Seward to Iditarod is (126.

TO SOUTHWARD
Carried Number of Passenger* Who
Made Trip from Anchorage to
Setvard Over the Trail.
The steamer Northwestern arrived
in Valdez last night from the west
ward and sailed again for the south
shortly aftdr 10 o’clock. She car
ried a number of passengers who had
come over'the winter road from An
chorage to Seward and were en route
to spend their holidays in the States.
The outgoing passengers on the
steamer from Valdez were Mrs. Le
na Morrow Lewis and Rev. Father
Crimont. for Juneau.
The officers of the Northwestern
believe that the Alameda which is
now coming northward will make the
race to be back in Seattle before
Christmas as the crew are naturally
anxious to spend the day with their
families in Seattle. The Alameda
left Seattle on December 10. leaving
her fourteen days in which to make
the trip.

he expected to connect with the
