ALASKA BUYERS
FORM COMPANY
Not to tell thf merchants ot Alaska |
what they might to huy. hut to see that
lhey get what they pay for: not to in
struct them in the ways of trade, hut
to help them to results commensurate
with their honest efforts. Such hrielly,
an- tlie purpose- of the Alaska Buyers
Association, newly incorporated under
the laws of the state of Washington by
well known Ala-kans who have spent
the winter season in tin' states.
To every merchant of the North, to
ever\ independent buyer, who has
dealings with the wholesalers and job
ber- of the southern cities, and the
ti ausjHa'tation companies whose vessels
ply to Alaskan ports, the assurances
given by the new concern must strongly
appeal. The Alaska Buyers' Associ
ation will not attempt to divert the
trade of the North to or from San
Francisco, Portland, Seattle. Tacoma
orany other city : nor " ill the Associ
ation as-ume to dictate or even to sug
;e-t whore or from whom the buyers
of Alaska -hall make their purchases.
What the Vs-ociation intends to ac
compe-h i- this: I’nder responsible!
guarani\ of good -ervice, the agents
of the A—notation " II -ee to it that
evory order from an Alaskan, lor
merchandise. priHittee. machinery and
everything of every nature, i- tilled
promptly and exact accord with the in
-i met ion of tho man who pay- the
eric,*: and furthor to -ee that every
pmind of freight for Alaska i- properly
packed, prepared for shipment, and
promptly loaded on vessels to he for
warder . Beyond the-e jioints the work
of the A-social ion "ill develop accord
ing to the desire- and needs of its
members.
The organization of the Alaska
Buyers* Association is the outgrowth
of an interchange of personal exper
iences. and a discussion of recognized
conditions, by men who have been for
years residents of tin- territory, and
who are well and favorably known in
many districts.
The articles ot incorporation, which
have been tiled with the secretary of
state of Washington show the follow
ing officers: president. Paul Buckley;
vice-president, John L. Steele: sec
retary-treasurer, Joseph B. Adams:
attorney. James J. Godfrey: these with
U. A. Jackson form the » oard of trus
tees.
Paul Buckley is one of the largest
mining operators in the district back
of Seward and tributary to the Alaska
Central Railway. He has been a resi
dent of Alaska since 1 and is well
known in the north. He guided the
first party of eastern investors over the
proposed route of the Alaska Central
railroad, and was largely instrumental
in the favorable impression which led
to financing that big undertaking. He
was formerly recorder in the Turn
again Arm district, and one of the
original locators of the now famous
Crow Creek hydraulic mines.
John L. Steele has been a resident of
Valdez for seven years, and served as
mayor of that city. He installed the
electrie lighting system of the town
and has been foremost in public work
of interest to the tributary dist rict. He
is also a director of the Standard Cop
per Mines Company.
R. \. Jackson is one of the best
known operators in the Tanana.having
don** most of the important surveying
and engineering at Kail banks.
James J. Godfrey i> well known in
the Yukon and Tanana. having been a
resident of lK)th Dawson and the Cop
per river district: In* served for a time
as Cnited State*, commissioner for the
Nizina district.
These men have associated with
them, a- secretary and treasurer.
Joseph P>. Adams, chosen tor this posi
tion on account of his wide experience
in mercantile agency work and general
titn«for tin* responsible duties in
hand. Secretary Adams will be in
Seward within the next few weeks.
It is the plan of the officers of the As
sociation that he shall visit the cities
of the southern and western coast as
soon as possible, going to the interior
and to Nome and the Seward peninsula
a little later in the season.
Membership in the Association will
be open to every resident of Alaska,
who lias or wants to have business
dealings with the southern cities.
Fifty Pupils in Public Schools
Fifty pupils are now attending the
Seward schools, at the end of the
fourth week of tin* term, it opened

By Cafclo to The Daily Gateway.
St. 1 Vterslnirg, March 21 Lieut.
Schmidt was shot yesterday for par
ticipation in the recent insurrection at
Sevastopol, and his execution has pro
duced a pervading feeling of bitterness
throughout Russia. Phe people every
where are reported to he sullen and
ugly. It is rumored that another up
rising is in progress at Sevastopol hut
all news is censored and it is impossible
to ascertain what is going on there.
Sixty sailors from the cruiser Pretz
shot Schmidt, who addressed the firing
line wlien lie was placed to lace them.
He said. ”1 die for the Russian people
and Fatherland and many of you I am
sure will sooner or later share my fate
for tlie same cause.”
Revolutionists everywhere are mak
ing a hero and martyr of Schmidt and
popular sympathy makes no attempt
at concealment. It is reported from
Moscow that the soldiers of the gar
rison there are so infuriated by the
czar's refusal to pardon Schmidt that
they rose in mutiny in the barracks
and imprisoned their officers.
