TWO MEN BET DINNER
FOR THE WHOLE TOWN
According to letters from the lower
river the people of Hot Springs were
the winners on election day. J. C.
Moody the commissioner, bet C. D.
McCauley a dinner for the whole
town that Sulzer would carry the
town. When the votes were all in it
was found that the Democrat was
victorious and like a good loser Mr.
McCauley gave a sumptuous spread
and an enjoyable dance, to which
everybody was invited.
Owing to t]ie wager, Democrats and
Wickersham men were out early and
late getting out every vote possible,
but Commissioner Moody proved the
better vote getter.
Everybody in the district was in
terested in the outcome, and person
ally. owing to the wager, but which
ever way it went, the residents of
the town were the winners, as they
got in on the free feed and dance,
while the leaders of the opposing fac
tions paid the bills.—Fairbanks

Talk Of Division
Of The lerritory
SEATTLE, Dec. 7.—At the annual
dinner of the Alaska Bureau of the
chamber of commerce, last evening
several prominent Alaskans spoke on
subjects of importance to the north
ern territory. Scott Bone, editor of
the Post-Intelligencer, the retiring
chairman of the Bureau, was the
guest of honor. Judge Gunnison ofj
Juneau brought up the question of i
* the division of the territory and said ;
that as the interests of the coast and ;
the interior are so different the terri-j
tory should be divided. James P.
Daly, of Nome, member of the terri-j
torial legislature, opposed the Gunni- i
son views, declaring division to be in*
advisable. Falcon Joslin also spoke
and rapped the Washington bureau
cracy for the mismanagement of the
coal and oil interests of Alaska.
