Carl Johanson’s prospective
papa-in-law must have let go of
the coin in good shape when
Johanson can invest $300,000 in
sawmills.
How is it that we hear no men
tion of Clum, of Fairbanks for the
delegateehip. Sometime ago he
modestly announced that he was
the best qualified and most proper
person to fill the position.
“Alaskans in Seattle” will run
out of materia' for delegate soon.
McChesney declines, and Ryan has
been dropped for Whitehead. Per
haps when Seattle gets through
Alaska will decide on a candidate
or two.
It is a peculiar thing that nil
the news as to who will be the del
egate from Alaska comes from Se
attle. One would think from the
tenor of the dispatches that Seattle
expected to name the man and elect
him.
A correspondent asks: “Is pro
posing a lost art.” Well, we are
inclined to think it is—in this
section at least. So far as our
recollection serves us not one
single breach of promise suit has
been filed in this local district
court.
Now Senator Nelson will have
more enemies than ever. He has
had the audacity to oppose the pass
age of the f:sheries bill, which prac
tically relieves the canneries in
Alaska of any burden of taxation
and incidentally deprives the road
fund of its principal source of rev
enue.
An amendment to the Nelson
road bill has passed the Senate,
Giving to the clerks of the district
courts the right to call upon the
maishalls to assist them in the col
lection of licenses. It provides that
a marshal may appoint deputies
for this work, who will receive the
same compensation as regular dep
uties.
Senator Nelson has given us “the
square deal” by consenting to some
of the amendments in hip delegate
bill that were made hv Congress
man Cushman. Any newspaper
man can tell the senator from ex
perience that he who can cheerfully
Bubmit to having his writings re
hashed is indeed a great man.
Meanwhile, Alaska benefits by the
senator’s magnanimity.—Sitka Ca
blegram.
Still no news about when we
expect to have a term of court here.
All of the city and school funds
•re tied up pending the settlement
oi this question, and a great hard
•hip is being worked on the people
in various ways. If a protest goes
to Washington in regard to the
condition of affairs it is promptly
gidetracked, and Valdez people ad
vised to grin and hear it.
Home of the little whiffets who
arc snarling at Gov. Brady are
like a lot of yellow curs snapping
at a wounded mouse. The Nugget
opposed Gov. Brady because it be
lieved that a more progressive man ■
would better fill the position as
governor of a young and growing
commonwealth. But as a man |
and a citizen, be is clean, coura
geous and straightforward, and has
always had the courage of his con
victions, and the viperous little
whelps who would try to tarnish
his character for the mere sake of
having something to say betray,
their origin.— Nome Nugget.

And now Judge Wickersham is
going to swing the Third Division
to the support of Marshal Slump,
of Juneau. We may he behind
the times up here, hut this is the
first we knew about this section be
ing pledged to Khoup, or any other
man, or that Judge Wickersham
or any other person could swing
the district at will And with all
duo respect to the “Alaska Poli
| tieians” in Seattle who are so free
with their prophecies, we do not
| believe that Judge Wickersham is
egotistical enough to think he can
cast the vote of the Third Division
for whomever he wishes.
The bill to regulate the practice
of medicine in Alaska, which is
now befora congress, provides for
the appointment by the governor
of a board of six, wiiich shall hold
examinations and act upon the
qualifications of applicants who
wish to practice medicine in Alas
ka A fee of $25 is required to be
paid with eacli application. The
Ward may deprive any physician
of his certificate if a complaint is
made and proved that the doctor
lias been guilty of unprofessional
conduct. The law specifies that
malpractice, extortionate fees, con
viction of an offence involving
moral turpitude, and habitual in
temperance shall be considered
unprofessional conduct. •
A Live Missionary.
Father Methody, the Russian
missionary who looks after the
spiritual welfare of the natives at
Tatitbk, Odiak and Nuchek. has a
great eye for business, if the state
ments made by the natives in In*
parish are correct.
They state that he board* round
with them, and as payment for bis
ecclesiastical teaching? levies an
assessment of about twenty per
cent, of their income. At Tatitlik,
where most of the natives are en
gaged in cutting wood for the Eila
mar mine, he collects fifty cents on
each cord, and to insure the pay
ment he collects the money from
the company. This makes a nice
little revenue for the reverend
gentleman, but he appears to con
sider it insufficient to repay him
for bis arduous labors, and is about
to change the assessment to a
straight $5 per week on all wood
cutters.
In audition to the revenue from
this source lie is said to make a
little money on the side selling
wine to his charges. This priest
has been in Prince William Wound
for about seven years.
Although the natives say cnenly
that he is a grafting, salacious par
asite in their community, he has
such a hold on them that they do
attempt to resist, his extortions.
I Additional Telegrams.
Chestuchena, May 5—While out
| ptarmigan hunting Thursday, A.
Schultz accidently shot R. A.
Schroeder. Four shot penetrated
his arm inflicting only a slight
wound. Schroeder, on his way to
Valdez, passed here this noon.
A telegram has been received
from Col. Swanitz stating that
none of the list of relatives of Val
dez people has been found arno;
the injured. The list lias been
published in all of the Frisco1
papers and the whereabouts of the
different parties will lie ascertained
soon.
I
Fairbanks, May 9—You may
announce that I am not and will
not be a candidate for the position
of delegate from Alaska to Wash
ington. I will be leaving Alaska
in June and will not be in the dis
trict for a year.
R. J. McCheesky.
The oldest building in Sitka,
built by the Russians in 1X17. was
sold a few days ago for five dollar.
James M.Shotip, U.S.Marshal for
Division No. 1, favors the election
of a delegate to Congress on strictly
non-partisan lines.
. The San Francisco Chronicle pre
dicts that Alaska will ultimately
become the world’s greatest produ
cer of the precious metals.
