farly Proceedings of Conirntson
Seat lie, Nov. is Tlu- permanent]
organization of tlu- Alaska convention
was completed this morninu withthu.
Swinefoul as chairman and W. S.
McKean :ts secretary.
Tin- report of the committee on cre
dentials started a lltfht anew by the re- j
fusal to allow any telegrams from ab
sent delegates to be read on the Hoot-. |
This was on account of tin- receipt of a
cablegram from Fairbanks directing'
that all proxies from that district be j
turned over to W. H. Hughes, leader
of the Johansen liyht for Congressional!
delegate.
Tin- committee decided that the dele-1
j nation at a caucus lu-t-e had eleeled a
chairman and authorized him to cast
| all proxy votes for absent delegates.,
'Phis would cost Johnson ten votes in j
his own delegation.
Delicate Jehans-n then took the
tloor and moved that the votes of all
ahs iitees from Fairbanks be stricken
from the li't. This caused an uproar
and Johansen withdrew the siijrjrest ion.
The report of the commit tee on creden
tials was then adopted, includin'.1' its j
recommendations as to proxies.
'Phe committee on resolutions was,
j then appointed, as follows: First dis-j
tr-ict. J. ti. I 'rice, J. J. Hunts. F. H.
| Airnew. Second. Duilli-.y Du Hose,
j KIma McNau-ht. \Y. ’I'. I’erkitis.
Tliird. John K. Hallaine. Joseph Hutch
i inson. H. H. Nye.
Starts a Fine Row
When the report of the plot form
committee was presented an amend
ment was offered from the floor that all
bills be presented by the usual method
of introduction, and referred to the
committee, the same as resolutions.
This started a light. Judge Cochrane
of Tin City supported the amendment,
staling that the bill favoring territor
ial government would come up in a
short time. He said the majority of
the people were opposdd to such action
as likely tube harmful at this time.
The amendment was voted down.
Resolutions ga to Committee
The committee on order of business
recommended that all resolutions and
memorials be referred to the com
mitter on resolutions without debate,
for report.
At the morning session Maj. Rich
ardson, president of the army board
which has charge of the construction
of the government roads in Alaska,
made an address. He outlined the
work done this year and expressed the
hope that Congress would he liberal in
its aid for further road bunding in the
district.
Seattle. Nov. 20 Until the commit
tee on resolutions is ready to report
the Alaska convention can do little
real work, and the delegates nearly all j
went to Tacoma Saturday afternoon
and spent Sunday there.
More than 100recommendations were j
presented to the committee for indorse-j
ment hut fully two-thirds were rejected j
because the committee regarded them
as being in private or corporate inter
est. The committee refused to admit
any lobbyists to its sessions.
The body of William Kelly, a pros-1
poet or, was found on the Quick river j
on Seward peninsula, last month. He
had evidently become exhausted by
hardship and semi-starvation, it is j
claimed that he had been deserted by
his partners. I
DORA BRINGS IN
SIXTY PERSONS
Little Steamer Crowded With Pas
sengers, of Whom Forty-t wo
Were for Seward.
Steamer Dora, «';i|»t- Xeb Moore,
arrived in port from the westward)
last Tuesday at midnight and left for
Valdez at il o'clock. She brought
forty-two passengers to Seward, and
carried aliout twenty more to Valdez, j
The little >1 earner was loaded to the
guards with human freight, and while
nolnxly investi^ated the impression;
was created when the passengers}
walked down th • irany'plank. that part |
of t hem must have come out of t he hold. '
Thu Dora was absent on her west
ward trip twenty-two days, lacking a
few hours. She sailed the mornint;' of
(Yctoher .'ll. after bouitf held lien* a day
I tv the slorm which prevailed alonjf
the coast at that time. She had bad
weather nearly all the way on the en
tice trip, i*01.1 in*r back slie was almost i
eontiunally against bead winds and
tossed by rouifh water. She is a ;
staunch little vessel and can ride out
any kind of a storm, but it was imiios
sible to make speed.
About thirty passengers had been
waiting for the Dora at Scldovia. some
of them for three weeks, and tin; re-;
mainder nearly as lone*. They had
enough to eat. and although the hotel
was shy on beds tin* lloor spare was'
ample for the s| reading of blankets.
Still the men on the waiting list
wen* as impatient as parties who have]
passed a civil se rvice examination and j
are expecting a job. It is conceded by
some of the candid ones that by con
stant exercise of the talent the majority ;
developed a ^ift o! profanity which
would have qualified them to serve as
mates on a Mississippi .steamboat or to,
drive army mules.
When the Dora put in at lliamna to
leave mail seventeen of Hutton's men
wen* fovnd to he destitute of provisions,
and the boat left them a small car^o of
I otatoes to perpetuate their existence
until their employer arrives from tin*
.-sound with a ireneral stock. He had j
been expected for some time.
WOMAN MAKES HARD TRIP
Mrs. C. W. Purinqton Accomplishes
Remarkable Mushing feat
Mrs. ('. \V, l'urington mad** this;
week what looks like almost a record;
** miish " for a \\ oman« on t he trail from
Sunrise to the railroad at Johnson j
creek. She is the wife of the mining,
engineer who is here to inspect the,
Crow Creek Mining Company's prop-(
ertv and to purchase it for Boston |
capitalists.
Mrs. l’urington accompanied herj
husband all the way and thereby]
achieved the opportunity tu make sue-j
cessfully a trip which was a severe
task for the Alaska sourdoughs who;
were along. The party occupied three
days and nights in covering the dis
tance of thirty-live miles.
On the summit for a long distance '
the snow was four feet deep, and so
wet and mushy that the travelers con
stuntly slipped. One night they spent j
on a mountain side with nothing hut a
IIv over them to avert the falling snow. '
The men front the Crow creek mine
-.pent most of the night cutting wood
to keep up a camp lire. Mrs. l’uring
ton came through without damage and,
as happv as anybody, to the astonish
ment and admiration of her sourdough
companions.
