EFFORTS OF STANDPATS
TO SQUELCH THE COLONEL
\E\V YORK. March 1.—That enem'. s of
former President Roosevelt have bee > at .
work for weeks to prevent any compn mise ;
that would permit the late presidential esn- .
didate of the Progressive party to eo itrol
the situation at the Republican nat mal
convention when it convenes in Chicago is
admitted by leaders of the movement who ,
are now out in the open to secure str.ctly
anti R -osevelt delegations from New ' ork, j
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and the New 1
England states. It is said that they were
strong enough to induce Temporary Chair
man Elihu Root, at the recent Republican
convention at Saratoga, to omit any men
tion of Colonel Roosevelt’s name in his
speech, and that to accommodate the anti
Roosevelt men he dropped a whole t ara
graph from the speech that he had pre
pared.
It is known that at the time of the Sara
toga convention former Senator Root at
tempted to lay a foundation that would per j
niit the former President to come back
into the Republican party without humiliat
ing himself, and he had intended to cm- :
phasize that trend of his speech by coupling j
the name of Colonel Roosevelt with other
i leading Republicans who had criticized
1 President Wilson.
| The paragraph omitted by former Sen
1 ator Root from his speech was one com
menting upon the “Democratic failure to
, see that power must stand behind the peace
able assertion of the United States rights.”
j The omitted paragraph reads:
“Others saw it and urged it; Mr. Gardner
urged it; Mr. Stimson urged it; Mr. Roose
velt urged it; but their arguments and
urgency were ascribed to political motives,
and the President described them with a
sneer as being nervous and excited.”
The anti Roosevelt men feared the effect
of the mention of Roosevelt's name in the
convention, and, it is said, prevailed upon
Root to drop the paragraph, an action that
has caused not a little comment.
Those opposed to Mr. Roosevelt s having
a prominent part in the councils of the
Republican party at Chicago are attempt- '
ing to demonstrate that prominence for him j
would drive out of the party more voters
than it would attract to it.

1 INTERESTING CASE AT OPHIR
j INVOLVES WELL-KNOWN MEN
Commissioner W. A. Vinal, at Ophir, sel
dom has to perform the duty of presiding
at a trial for breach of the peace, for he
represents the majesty of the law in a dis
trict which, although extensive in area, is
extremely peaceable and law-abiding. But
on Saturday, March 8, he was called upon
to deal out justice in a case in which Max
Simel, the well-known Innoko river trader,
was complainant, and Louis Lund was de
fendant, the charge being assault and bat
tery. Both of the parties are residents of
Cripple City.
Recently the home of Mr. Lund, at Crip
ple. was destroyed by lire, while he and his
family were absent at their roadhouse some
twenty miles distant. Mr. Lund sustained a
serious loss in the conflagration, and he was
consequently much worked up, as the cabin
had been unoccupied for some time; the
j doors were locked, and there was every in
! dication of incendiarism.
While the matter did not come out, at
the trial, it appears that Lund and Simel
| became involved in an altercation as to the
| origin of the tire, and in the melee Simel
was Worsted. It is said that Cramer, the
j son-in-law of Simel, also received a ducking
in a near-by water hole as a result of the
encounter, in which he attempted to assist
J his relative.
The trial at Ophir is reported to have
j resulted in several innovations in court prac
j tice. Neither side was represented by coun
| sel, and the witnesses freely questioned and
i cross-questioned each other. When called
J to order by the court they became peeved
and Judge Vinal extracted from them their
stories with, difficulty.
After hearing the “discussion" Judge
Vinal discharged the defendant.

DISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION
VISITS CITY OF SEWARD
_
(Seward Gateway, March 13 >
The Daggett block, the Daggett resi
dence. the S. L. Colwell store building, the
Colwell residence, the Rainier Buffet, the
greater part of the plant of the Alaska Even
ing Post and the Dee Sing noodle restau- j
rant were tntalv destroyed by a ‘ire which |
broke out in tiie basement of the Daggett
block this morning. While the excitement j
lasts it is difficult to secure a close esti j
mete of the losses sustained, but they
amount in the aggregate to not less then
$20,000, although they are probably very
much more. It is believed that the loss of
I)r. C. T. Hargett will be at least $15,000.
while it is said that tlte amount of in- ;
suranee In Id by him was not more than j
52,000. Mr. Colwe ll ha- 53,000 insurance j
on his stock but nothing on the building,
which was erected clily a few months ago. I
The stock in the store was saved, but about j
$5,000 worth of stock stored in the base- |
n-ent was lost. His residence also was j
destroyed and hardly a thing was saved j
The same is true of the Daggett residence.
Mr. McKenzie of the firm of McPhail & j
McKenzie, the owners of the Rainier Buffet,
says he is not yet able to give an estimate
of their losses. Their stock and fixtures
were completely demolished. One other ex
ceedingly regrettable phase of the occur
rence is that Mrs. Daggett and Mrs. Col
well lost about all their household furniture
and many articles which money cannot re
place. The typesetting machine and press i
of the Alaska Evening Post, which was j
located in the basement of the Daggett j
block, were also destroyed. It is said that
the Post had $5,000 insurance.
it is probably safe to say that the total j
losses were nearer $30,000 than $20,000.
when it is taken into account that Mr. Col
well’s loss alone could not be very much
less than SS.000 or $10,000.
The fire was caused in :t manner that is
( not perfectly clear. The Japanese porter of
the Daggett block had started the fires
i in the basement and soon afterwards the
j blaze v as discovered. Chief of Police Guest
says that when he saw the blaze it was in
a pile of firewood which stood near the
furnace, and it is thought that a snark
must have flown out and set the fire. Within
less than two years two other alarms were
| caused by the same furance. but it is be
lieved that the blaze this time was not
due to any defect in the pipe, as the fire
began down below.
The alarm was sent in just about 7 o'clock
this morning, and at 9 the buildings were
a mass of smouldering debris. The fire tie
partment did its duty, but the citizens
learned for the first time that the water
supply was practically non-existent. The
lines of hese threw out hardly more water
than would be used by a lawn sprinkler,
and the little streams were really a sight
that might be called pathetic. It has since
been learned generally that the city has had
no water supply for several weeks, and that
the fact was well known to the authori
| ties. The Seward Water Company receives
$100 a month from the city for the water
supply, and some criticism is now being ex
pressed that water was supplied to the
steamers in the harbor recently, and that
this cut down still lower the meager sup
ply for fire fighting.
Other losers by the fire were William D.
j Coppernoll and W. P. Henry, who had
offices in the Daggett block. Mr. Copper
j noil, who is the city attorney, lost all his
! new law library and other things, the total
loss being about $2,500.
For a time the Northern building, across
Washington street, seemed to be rather
seriously threatened, but by the use of
wet coverings and by playing water on the
sides and roof it was protected from the
blaze. Similar measures were taken to
save the buildings across Fourth avenue,
and fortunately the spaces intervening be
tween the property destroyed and all other
property was sufficient to nullify the effect
of the strong breeze.

as a result of injuries received in an auto
mobile accident in Seattle last year. Mrs.
Hpokins was with him when the end came.
Dr. Hopkins was connected with the ma

Tugs for Government Railway
Representing an expenditure of $42,000,
the Alaska engineering commission recently
purchased the Oregon steam tugs Anne W.
and L. L. Roscoe, and will place them
service in the North in connection with the
! building of the government railroad, says
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of March 9.
The Anne W. was acquired from the llos
ford Transportation Company of Portland
at $20,500, and the L. Roscoe from the
Tide Water Mill Company of Portland at
$21,500. It was announced that the Anne
W., which is a vessel of shallow draft, will
be used on Turnagain Arm, and the L. Ros
coe at Anchorage, Cook inlet, where she will
assist in the discharging of steamers laden
with supplies for the government railroad.
Assets of Guggenheim Company Transferred
The Guggenheim Exploration Company
was dissolved in New York on March 9 by
a vote of holders of 782,000 shares of stock
out of a total of 803.000 shares. Its assets
were transferred to the Yukon-Alaska Trust
Company, which was formed in New Jersey
February 4 last for that purpose. The
trustees are William Loeb, Jr., Charles K.
Unman. Charles Earle and Roger W.
Straus. The transfer included $11,000,000
in cash and demand loans. 2,800,000 shares
of Yukon Gold, a demand against the A u
kon Gold Company for $5,000,000, the pur
chase price of the Gold Run mine; 500 pro
fcrred shares of the American Smelters Se
curities Company, and other assets. It was
announced that a cash dividend of $12
would be paid on every share of the dis

New Homestead Bill Expected to Pass
A Washington dispatch says that Delega: j
A’ickersham is confident that his new home j
tead bill for Alaska w'll surely be passed I
>y this congress. Favorable report was
i;:de on the measure recently, it having
leen approved by the secretary of the in
terior, and the bill is now on a calendar
vhich is not crowded. The bill reduces the j
maximum area of homestead entries front
.‘120 to 160 acres and permits second or ad
riitionril homesteads in Alaska by those
otherwise qualified who have heretofore ex
hausted their homestead rights. In othf
words, a citizen who has taken a home
stead in the States may take another in
Alaska. At the request of the secretar
of the interior a provision was added ex
eepting from homestead entry and settle
.lent lands on Annette and Pribilnf islands
the islands leased or occupied for the propa
gation of foxes, and such other lands as
may have been reserved or withdrawn from

Copper Miners Asking Increase
The miners employed by the Kenneeott
Company in the Jurnbo and Bonanza mines
l at Kenneeott have asked for an increase
in their pay, the request having been made
to Superintendent Seagrave by a committee
of two men from each mine. On March 1
the Kenneeott Copper Corporation volun
! tardy gave the men an increase of 5 per
cent in their wages, but they now ask for
50 cents a day more for all classes of labor,
and it is reported that the company was
given until March 10 to make their deci
sion. At present machine men are paid
$3 per day and board, and helpers $2.50
and board. Superintendent Seagrave has
taken the matter under consideration and
has communicated with the company’s head
quarters in New York, but it is believed
that the increase asked by the men will he
granted, as the wage scale paid by the
Kenneeott company is considerably lower
than that now being paid the miners em
ployed at the copper mines at Butte. -

The Hobnail Shoes of the Miners
One night last October, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer of March 9, while the
i good ship Senator was steaming from Nome
to Seattle, with the social hall of her third
class passengers crowded with boisterous,
good-natured miners, someone turned a
deck hose through the open skylight into
| the midst of the party. As the sea water
j sloshed over the group, panic fell on them.
Someone shouted “Fire,” and the crowd in
stantly charged toward the ladder leading
to the upper deck. J. F. Kelly was stand
ing in the way. No one thought of walking
around him, so they walked over him. Kelly
went down, and the hobnail boots of forty
miners clumped the length of him. Twice
Kelly managed to rise, only to go down
again beneath the boots of the milling
miners. When the excitement subsided
Kelly brushed off his clothes and announced
that someone was going to pay for using
him as a doormat. Yesterday a jury in
Judge Tallman’s department of the superior
court gave him a judgment of $250 against
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
owners of the Senator.

That St. Patrick’s Day Race
The Matheson-Jensen bird dog team, with
Frank Gleasno as driver, won the big race
from Anchorage to Knik and return by a
margin of thirty-four minutes, says the Cook
fnlet Pioneer. The surprising thing about
the race was the speedy time made by all
the contesting teams. It was the general
belief that if the winning team crossed the
line in fifteen hours it would be doing
mighty well, considering the fact that the
trail was not of the best for fast traveling.
So when all the teams beat that record by
more than an hour, and the winning team
t-complished the course in less than thir
teen hours, the most skeptical are now con
vinced that there are some racing teams
in this part of Alaska. As a matter of fact,
the race was a huge success from every
standpoint, reflecting credit ulike on the par
ticipants and the Anchorage Kennel Club,
that fathered the high-class sport. Of
course, you’ll find some of the old-timers
from Nome and other Interior camps telfing !
of the greater achievements accompli he:
in dog-team racing in those places, but the
writer very vividly recalls the first dog-team I
race at Nome, and is here to say that it was
'.at affair beside the Anchorage Knik race.
Indeed, it is safe to assert that, all things |
considered, the Anchnrage-Knik race was j
one of the most exciting and interesting [
that has ever been pulled off in Ala.-ka, and
demonstrates the possibilities for this class I
of sport in this section of the country. The ;
Pioneer has been informed by a sourdough -
who takes a great interest in dog team races
and has followed the sport very keenly j
that the time made by the bird does in this j
race has only been beaten in one other race, |
the distance being taken into consideration.
This wes the great A I Alaska sweepstakes
race at Nome, when John Johnson, driving j
a Siberian dog team, accomplished 108 ndics
of the course in some 8’4 hours. The bird
dogs in the local race clipped along at the !
rate of nine miles an hour for the entire
ta.nce of 106 miles. There was consider
able betting on the result. A rough esti
mate is that $3,000 changed hands on the
result, with the bird dog team admirers at 1
the receiving end of the hne. However, i
much of the money was wagered on the t
time consumed by the teams. j

SOME “PLUCK”
(Petersburg Report!
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the in
terior, sent a Christmas message to Com
missioner Mears commending his pluck in
staying through the winter at Anchorage.
Mr. Mears, as a government railroad com
msisioner, draws a salary of $10,000 a year, ;
occupies a residence built, comfortably fur
nished and steam-heated at the expense of
the government.
There are also some hundreds of other
men wintering in Anchorage whom the !
commissioners hired to work on the gov
ernment railroad during last season at 37%
cents per hour—board not included.
The secretary don’t congratulate these
latter on their “pluck” in deciding to winter
in Anchorage when thev found themselves
without means to get “Outside” at the close
of the season’s work.
Perhans he fears that calling attention to
this sort of “pluck” might clash with the
prosperity “dope” being handed out by the
departments of commerce and labor.
