MR. NELSON S GEOGRAPHY
Hon. Ktuiic Nelson, senator from
Norway county, Minnesota, is noted
for the freedom with which lie issues
bulletins of general information
through his large, square hat. Some
©f these fragments of knowledge sug
gest the aphorism of .losh Hilling*,
that “It’s h. tier not to know so many
things than t* know >o many things
that aint so.*’
Of this class is Senator Nelson’s de
seript e ge> gn p'y without chart, ot
the route of the Alaska tVntrnl around
tiie arms nf I’lKik inlet, thrust forcibly
and vi.t y upon the members of the
senate committee on territories. Hear

APPROVES FRANK WASKEY
Frank Waskey, Alaska’s first dele
gate in congress, may be sure of a
warmer welcome in Alaska than he re
ceived in the national capital. When
he comes north the people will make
it plain wherever he may go that they
were with him in his differences with
Got. Moggatt, Senator Piles and Other
self-appointed guardian* of the terri
t >ry.
Mr. Waskey was reported in Wash
ingtoo as saying that he was disap
pointed at the failure to get import
ant Alaska legislation through eon
gross. His constituents give him cred
it for doing all that any man could do
i under the circumstances, and they also
i lake note of a political ephemeron 01
t wo who did about the worst that war
possible.
tiov. Hoggatt opposed two of the
most important Alaska measures be
tore congress that for territorial gov
ernment and the Fourth judicial dis
rict bill. The former had no chatter
to pass if all Alaskans had favored it.
but the judicial hill might have gone
through hut for the opposition of Hog
gatt and Piles. It was badly ueedeo
ai l supported by everybody who had a
a to take an interest in it. The
governor had at first indorsed it.
Senator Piles need never again pose
is the “senator from Alaska.” He
lapped like a jumping-jack on terri*
tarial government when the president
> ed against it. and he tried to annex
\i,i-ka to Seattle for judicial purposes
in paving two additional federal judges
appointed foe Western Washington, to
av.i- n’h assigned to Alaska.
