Want A Recorder.
Considerable disappointment is
felt l>y the citizens of Soinriso and j
Hope on learning that Judge Wick
•rshnin will not,grant their petition
for the appointment of a commis
sioner and rc< order for their sec
tion.
It is difficult to understand why |
the honorahle judge takes his
stand.. It certainly cannot he that
he is of tin- opinion that the inter
ests do not jttstifr the appointment
uf a commissioner and recorder, as
it is a well known fact that this
section is mpidlv advancing to the
to th«' front. jod there is more net
nal mining operations, more ma
chinery, and more money invested
in mining than anv oth< r place on
the entire Kenai peninsula, and lo|
deprive this seetion of n coni mis- i
sinner and all its mining records, I
is unwarranted an I unjust.
Judge- brown, of tin* First divis
ion, appointed a commissioner for
Sunrise four years ago. when the
interests and population were far
lielow what it is at the present
tinie. After this section became
embraced m the Third di ision,,
II. II. Hildreth was appointed com
missioner. on the the statement of
facts as set forth in a petition ad- |
dressed to the Hon. James Wickcr
slnu. , tints establishing a prece
dent that this section was entitled
to a commissioner and recorder.
With this condition of affairs the
people were well satisfied, although
the nflicials here were very unpop-i
tilar, hut it was of short duration.
The Alaska Central Kailwav com
menced operations at Si ward, em
ploying several ll.lllllred men, be
sides business enterprises starting
up timh day, and tlie population
increasing rapidly, Seward was
justly m iieetl of a commissioner
and marshal, and the ollieials from
this section moved their otticc to'
Seward, togitlier with the mining i
records of this district, which have)
hecn on tile here for the past eight
years. This has caused no little j
dissatisfaction throughout the up-j
per end of Cook inlet, and a peti
turn was forwarded to Judge Wiek
ersliam prating tor a ve-division of
the Cook inlet precinct, and the I
appointment of a commissioner
and n colder, hut without receiving
the relief asked for. Surely thei
precinct is large enough to he di-!
vided. and where the public inter
est justify and request that they
have a commissioner and recorder
it ehotnd not lie denied them.

There has been an average

ridiculously low prices. Our store

Governor ’(rudy called on the
president with II. 1>. Reynolds of
Valdez, president of a large devel
opment company of Alaska. Gov
ernor Brady desired to thank the
president for liis renewed expres- j
sion of confidence, as shown hv his j
reappointment as governor of tIn
tern orv. At the same time Gov-1
ernor Brady discussed with the!
president some of the needs of tin
territory, especially in the selcc-1
lion of judges who will In- above
the tempta'ion to render decisions
because of interests they mav have
in this or that mining property
Governor Brady thinks that tin
onlv way to cure this is to pay sal
aries such as will secure men for
jndgi s of tin- higlu-st character and
ability and above the temptations
thrown out to them by mining com
panies. Mi. Rcynolks believes
that tin- enactment of tin- hill of
