, The reappointment of J udge
Wickersham will meet the approv
al of a large majority of the peo
ple of Alaska. The few who op
pose him are the politicians, office
seekers, ami unsuccessful litigants.
At least that is Mr. Day’s finding
of facts.—Transcript.
At the closing of the A. It. en
campment in Seattle a committee
was appointed to draw up resolu
tions asking for a representative in
congress for Alaska. These will he
sent to every Senator. The Alas
ka club is also pushing the matter
and the mining congress, at Port
land, adopted similar resolutions,
as have the chambers of commerce
ofAlnskn, Seattle anti Itellingham.
With concerted action by so many
representative bodies in the west,
the much desired legislation may
be secured this session of congress.
J. Griffith Stevens, who is now
in Bellingham, Wash., is stirring
up the people there over the pos
sibilities of starting trade with
Valdez. He has a two column,
front page writeup in one of the
dailies, telling of the resources of
this country and how Bellingham
could get in on the business by
putting on a line of boats direct.
He has also addressed the ciiamlter
of commerce in regard to the mat
ter, and expects to see a movement
started to give Valdez merchants
an opportunity to get their mer
chandise from Bellingham whole
salers at better prices than in Seat
tle. Mr. Stephens has presented
the matter to Bellingham in a con
vincing and business-like way, and
if the Valdez chamber of com
merce will now take it up, arrange
ments can be made that will give
our merchants lower prices, less
freight rate and possibly another
line of boats.
The sale of the P. P. & N. prop
ertr at Bellingham has been post
poned till Dec. 11), owing to ab
sence of bidders.
In answer to an inquiry ad
• dressed to the attorney general re
garding Judge Brown’s removal
from office, he says that no such
action has been taken by the pres
ident.
Adam Bloch of Seldovia may
truly be looked upon as an Alaskan
be having come here in 1867 and
settled down at Seldovia. With
but few intermissions of short du
ration. He has been here ever
since.
Jim. Stephens is certainly mak
ing a great showing in tire States.
He has been elected grand trustee
of the A. B’s., got his picture in the
P.-I., is one of the committee on
resolutions, and at Bellingham ad
dressed the chamber of commerce
on better trade relations with Alas
ka, and on the need of a delegate
to congress, and was given columns
•of space in the local dailies.
There is a fierce competition l»e
tween the Dominion Telegraph Co.
•and the U. 8. Government cable
to Alaska. The cable has cut the
Tates between Seattle and Alaska
in half and captured most of the
commercial business. The Domin
ion line cut rates to meet the com
petition but when the cable broke
immediately raised the price. They
are anxious to put the cable out of
‘business and block the proj«osed ex
tension to the westward.
