PANAMA BONDS
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—The
First National Bank of Fairbanks has
been allotted £53,000 in Panama Canal
bonds, $50,000,000 worth of which
have just been issued. The bonds are
above par being sold at 102 C.
Washington, D. C., Dee. 10—The
Republican national committee has
declared the late republican conven
tion at Juneau to be illegal, in that it
was held before ti e nat'onal com
mittee call.
The actj cf this convention in
electing delegates are therefore nulli
fied, and another convention will be
necessary to elect other delegates to
the republican national convention.
Under the ruling of the committee
the second convention cannot be
held until thirty days after the
national call. Only two delegates
are allowed Alaska.
The nullification of the acts of the
Juneau convention by the national
committee is a great victory for the
Hoggatt faction in Alaska. Repre
sentatives of that crowd appeared
before the committee and contended
that the Juneau meeting was irregu
lar in form, on the gr< unds as set
forth above.
I^emons for Alaska
The Polk directory company has
taken up the popular vocation ot
handing lemons to Alaska. It has just
issued a directory and gazetter of the
territory. The director}’ is pn bahly
up-to-date so far as individuals are
concerned except that, probably also,
it is not complete, but the stock of
useful information embodied in the
book is worse than the contents of a
last year’s almanac, because it is two
years old. Evidently the alleged in
formation such as the directory of
officials, was copied from the Alaska
almanac of l9l»o. me dcok aoes gei
the new governor’s name into the list
but i 1 the array of minor officials are
given the following who have been
out of office a long time:
0. P. Hubbard, assistant U. S. dis
district attorney at Valdez. Mr. Hub
bard has been out nearlyja year. Cecil
H, Clegg, assistant U. S. district at
torney at Seward. Mr. Clegg resigned
last March. F, D. Kelsey, l. S. com
missioner at Kodiak. Mr. Kelsey died
more than a year ago. H. H. Hild
reth, U. S. commissioner at Seward.
Mr. Hildreth has been out of office
fifteen months. N. Gray, U. S. com
missioner at Unalaska. Mr. Gray re
signed many months before the direc
tory w’as compiled. E. F. Pitman,
depity collector of customs at \Vbite
Pass Summit. Mr Pittman left that
post in December 11K 5 to come to
Se vard as deputy collector and has
been here since January 1. 1906.
Seward is not named as a port of entry.
This is only in the Third judicial
divi ion. No doubt similar blunders
are in the list for the First and Second
