Yaulez will lie a muchly investi
gated towrr by I he time the cable
ffiee investigation is over and the
jnvsterious lT. S. district attorney
finishes his secret mission here.,
The town may not he the only ■
tiling that is “closed” when the
* a moke clears away.
Talk about the powers of town
councils in. Alaska. Judge Brown
tried for a long time at Juneau to I
accomplish what it took the \ ai
de/ council less than two hours to
do.
•The Fairbanks Times says that
Abe Spring is to have the por
tion of commissioner there. It
accompanies the statement with a
roast of Spring.
The politicians of Fairbanks are
much exercised over the visit of
District Attorney II. M. Hoyt, of
Kmus, to that city. He was sent
there presumably by the depart
ment of justice to investigate the
feeling regarding retaining- Judge
Wickershan in ofliee. He refused
to make any statement as to his
findings after visiting all tin* ere k
and conversing with all the peo
ple he met, and. the politicians are
up in tlie air a* to wli .i ie result
' will be.
Today is the anniversary of the
day on which the United. Slate.
first look actual militarv pos.-c?
sion.of Alaska ami raised the jiag
in WU7. Were it not for the
reform wave that struck Valdez so
hard last week the town tiiigli'
have celebrated. the occasion by
amiable exercises, but as it is the
people are not in a celebrating
humor.
A perusal of the signatures at
tached to the petition sent to Judge
Wickersham would make a person
wonder how the framers could find
jv -t ideation for calling it a petition
I: mi the citizens of Valdez. Oi
the *»U signatures nine*hre those of
t->x payers and even some of them
' fc> not live in the town. Over
! twenty hre nonresidents and the
balance do not pay taxes. Not a
business house on McKinley street
3s represented on tho list, and on
Keystone there was but one busi
ness man who signed.
Pudge Wickersham must have;
been in an ironical humor when1
he dictated the telegrams to the j
Valdes- petitioners. ‘You have
ample authority if you will act I
courageously.” Could he have in
tended that as an implication that
the petitioners were lacking in
courage, or had shown a Jack of
nerve in their previous actions?'
i
Once more we are in close touch
With Fairbanks mid able to get;
mail through in quick time. Fair-;
hanks papers were brought to town t
last week by Contractor Orr of the
date of Sept. 29th.
Washington, Oct. lii—General
• Allens annual retort on Alaska
cable savs that the service is very
Satisfactory and recommends that
the cable between Juneau and
Sitka be cut and looped into near
'Gape Fanshaw running a single
1 cable south to Wrangle, thence to
a point on Prince of Wales island
near Hadley ami thence to Ketchi
kan. It is proposed in connection
with the road commission to con
struct a cut-off between Glen andj
Tolovana and abandon the line j
from Tolovana to Chena. A lino j
Copper River
Braying Co.
will then he ennstruc'e-l from
miles above Tolovana to Cliena to
connect up the service. Is is
stated positively that the Gnkona
trail will he located early in
the summer. The report advises
that an additional cable Ik* laid
from Seattle to Sitka. The Norton
Sound wireless system is reported
as working perfectly.
Victoria, Oct, 17—The Princess
Victoria went aground on Fiddlers
reef near Vancouver this morning.
A boat has just been sent ashore
for assistance. No danger, to the
passengers is apprehended, and
they hope to he able to haul the
vessel off at high tide.
