ALASKA JUDGE TALKS
POLITICS OF NORTH
SEATTLE, August 21.—C. A. Sul
zer on the Democratic ticket, will
press James Wickersham more closely
in the race for the office of Alaska’s
representative in congress than any
previous opponent has done, and has
a fair chance of election. This belief
was expressed last night by Judge J.
K. Tucker, of the Second Alaska dis
trict, who arrived yesterday from
Nome. Judge Tucker was appointed
by President Wilson in 11)13, and will
serve until the fall of 1917.
Political interest in Alaska thfs
year is mainly in the choice of a rep
resentative and of an attorney gener
al, and in the proposed prohibition
law, according to Judge Tucker. The
chances of George D. Schofield, Re
publican, and George B. Grigsby,
Democrat, are about even for election
as attorney general, he believes. I he
general election of members of the
(territorial legislature comes this year
also. Alaska. Judge Tucker says, is
Republican, although the politcial di
vision is not marked, because there *
no presidential vote.
Judge Tucker is at the Frye, on his
way to Bedford, \ a., to establish Mrs.
Tucker in their Whine for the winter,
and will return September 15. Ill
health compelled Mrs. Tucker to leave
Nome last summer.—Post-Intelli

Administration Gold Bricks
When Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. The present administration lias no
hesitancy in paying $25,000,000, besides throwing in all American dis
covery rights in Greenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Rill, $25,000,000, for the
construction of 1,000 miles of railroad. At the present rate of con
struction, the cost of 1,000 miles would aggregate $110,000,000 and re
quire 20 years to build.
The Canadian government attempted and did build a railroad from
Moncton, Canada, at a cost of $174,000,000, while the engineers’ esti
mates for the work was $72,000,000.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the Government
Railroad instead of Anchorage? •
Did it ever occur to Delegate Wiekersham that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to the
Government railroad you will develope Alaska ten fold. Seward is
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road C om
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw fit to appropriate the reason
able sum of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $1,000,
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
If wo can afford to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser,
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually for
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you
to call cn tho Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to offer
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, every
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward.
