PLAYS JOKE ON GOVERNOR.
An item in the Juneau Empire pro
vides a possible explanation for Gov
ernor Strong’s short stay in Fair
banks. From this item it seems that
he had to hurry back home in order
to answer numerous letters that have
been sent to him as a result of th**
work of a practical joker.
It is not often that a practical joker
spends his time in trying to play
tricks on a governor, but this joker,
whoever he is, seems to have thought
it a good plan to give Governor
Strong some work. Following is the
item in the Empire:
“Governor Strong has threatened to
turn pugilist if he can find out the
person responsible for the insertion u
half a dozen American newspaper of
an article telling men who are out <>f
work to write to the Governor of A*
aska and get the hundreds of jobs
that are open in the Golden North.
“The governor’s ollice has boon
literally swamped with inquiries
from blacksmiths, carpenters, plumb
ers and other skilled and unskilled
laborers.
“Fortunately, the advertisement:
did not instruct job-seekers to go t<
Alaska. The ad told them to writ*
to the governor.”—(Alaska Citizen.)
Ketchikan, July 2‘J.—A crisis has
been reached in the controversy be
tween Father Duncan and the gov
ernment over the control of aiTairs at
Metlakahtla. Father Duncan remains
as obdurate as ever and there is a
well founded belief that the govern
ment will adopt legal proceedings ?,>
oust him from the community.
Notice has been served on him that
the government claims Metlakahtla
for the benefit of the Indians.
V. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner
of Education, and party returned here
from Metlakahtla yesterday, where a
fruitless effort was made to prevai’
upon Father Duncan to peacefully
•urrender to the department, control
of affairs at Metlakahtla. Deputy
District Attorney Noll, W. T. Lopp.
Superintendent of Indian schooh. in
Alaska, and W. C,. Beattie, Superin
tendent of Indian schools for South
eastern Alaska, were ot the part} ac
companying Commissioner Clavton.
