MANY ASPIRANTS
FOR GOVERNOR
(Cordova Times)
It seems to he generally believed
among the Democrats that Major J.
I'\ A. Strong-will not seek reappoint
ment as governor of Alaska when his
present term expires next spring.
And what has been the result. Prac
tically every prominent and near
prominent member of the party in
power is a candidate for this high
oilier. It is understood that Judge
Jennings, of the First division, is
willing to resign from the bench, as
is also Judge Hunnell, of the Fourth
division, if they can land the guber
natorialship. John \V. Troy, of the
Juneau Umpire, would not be adverse
to having the lightning strike in his
direction, while the Tatuma valley has
a score of willing Democrats who
hanker after the job, among them
being E. W. GrilVm, the Chcna mer
chant. If the Third division is going
to put forth a candidate we have not
yet heard his name mentioned.
From the present indications it will
be a free-for-all light, but we have an
idea that the follow who has the
support of National Committeeman
T. J. Donohoe, of Valdez, will have a
little the best of the other fellows
who have thrown their hats in the
ring.
WAITING 10R COAL
XKXAXA. — While practically
every section of Interior Alaska is
awaiting the coming of coal, ami will
consume large quantities of the fuel
when it is available, the War depart
ment already is actually preparing to
install coal burners ami arranging
tor the construction of buildings for
the storage of fuel.
Advices received from the army
post at Fort Gibhon indicate that a
large coal burning central heating
plant will be installed there during
the coming summer, and the olliccrs
in charge of the several telegraph
stations along the river have been re
quested to furnish estimates of the
cost of erecting milldings for the

storage of coal. All of which en
courages the belief that the Depart
ment will be among the first to pur
chase coal and will be a very large
consumer.
Sergeant Mulkins of the local sig
nal corps station is now busy with
the plans of a building which is to be
erected on the rear of the lot occupied
by the telegraph office. The building
1 will contain large storage bins for
coal, and there will also be room for
a small stable, a workshop and a
place for the storage of supplies.
There is the probability that a heat
ing plant for the office building will
also be installed some time during
the coming summer.
Similar preparations are also un
doubtedly being made at Fairbanks,
where the wood problem has assumed
very serious proportions. Reports
i
from the upper town state that the
creeks are being drained of their sup
ply of fuel in order that the fires in
town may be kept burning; and an
other season pobably will find the
gold output of the camp materially
reduced unless operators can secure
coal for steaming purposes.—News.
