LOCAL REPUBLICANS
SOMEWHAT CONFUSED
Believe Date Mentioned in Gateway
Cable for G, O. P. Conven
tion too Early.
Dr. J. M. Sloan, president of the
Seward Republican Club, and J. J.
Finnegan, committeeman for Seward,
cannot quite see how the Republican
territorial convention can be held here
on the 27th inst. The United Press
message, however, goes so much int*
detail about the election of delegates
to the national convention and about
the naming of a candidate for con
gress that they seem to think therrt
may be some reason, after all, for
holding the convention at that un
usually early date. The local repre
sentatives of the party say that the
territorial committee must meet be
fore the convention can be held. They
also point out that the primaries have
not yet been held.
MRS. MILLER FILES SFIT
AGAINST C. T. DAGGETT
Claim* Six Thousand Dollars For In
jury Said to Have Been In
flicted on Her.
Mrs. Emily Miller, through her at
torney L. L. James, has filed suit
against Charles T. Daggett, dentist,
and claims six thousand dollars and
costs for injury said to have been
done the plaintiff by the “negligence,
carelessness and unskilful ness” of the
defendant when he operated on Mrs.
Miller in his capacity as dentist. The
plaintiff states that she employed the
defendant last January to do some
dental work and that he extracted
four teeth from her upper jaw. In
doing so, she says, he also broke of!
and extracted pieces of the jaw itself.
She also claims that three of the ex
tracted teeth were healthy and that
only in one was there sign of decay.
She further says that the defendant
put in a bridge with four false teeth
and that it has been irritating her
and hurting her ever since. The com
plaint says that as a result of the un
skilfulness the “upper jaw and gum
became permanently sick, sore, in
flamed, diseased and disabled.” She
also says she has been “permanently
injured in her health and body,” and
“continues to suffer great mental
anguish and distress and physical
pain.” The complaint also says the
defendant refused to make reparation
to the plaintiff.

NO OPPOSITION I
TO R. R. MONEY
DELEGATE WICKERSHAM SHOWS
THAT OPPOSITION TALK IS
ALL TOMMYROT.
ANCHORAGE, Jan. 10.—Delegate
Wickersham writes the Cook Inlet
Pioneer that he has found not the
slightest opposition in Washington to
the granting of the emergency ap
propriation for the continuance of
work on the government railroad. He
says he is working now for it.
The above cable from the Cook In
let Pioneer to the Gateway ought to
be enough to put at rest for ever the
asinine frothing which we have been
inflicted with regarding imaginary
opposition to the granting of the
emergency appropriation. Only a
short time ago the contemptible trick
of trying to associate the delegate
with a supposed fight against this
imaginary opposition was played but
fortunately the people were too wise
to pay any attention to it.

Says British And
Japs Will Get Us
Senator Chamberlain Declares Their
Alliance is a Threat to
This Country.
R. J. Weir, engineer in charge for
the Railroad Commission, has made
enquiries from several citizens to dis
cover the approximate number of
men who would be ready to go to
work here if called upon. This has
given rise to speculation regarding
the liklihood that work is about to be
commenced but Mr. Weir feels it bet
ter not to say why he asked the ques
tions at all. Amongst those he in
quired of were T. W. Hawkins, Leo
Margules, Ike Evans, Mr. Hancock
and the Gateway people. The general
opinion seemed to be that the maxi
mum number of idle people in Seward
and vicinity is one hundred. Several
guessed less than that number. Mr.
Weir was asked to state why he made
the enquiry but an answer could not
be secured. He expressed the opinion
that by making too much of the mat
ter it might possibly create hopes that
might be doomed to disappointment.
Some people who knew of the enquiry
became so optimistic that they were
ready to make bets that men would
be put to work here in a few days.
