NEWS NOTES
Senator Miles Poindexter writes on
this mail to say that he has received
a copy of the poem “Us for Sam.”
The senator refers to the author as
Mr. O’Cotter and says he hopes every
senator will read it.
Maurice 0. Leehey writes to say
that Cordova has accomplished much
better publicity work in the effort to
get the government railroad than
Seward. The sister city has gone in
closely, he says, to all the facts and
can show every ounce of tonnage that
could be procured on the Copper
River route. While ho was in Wash
ington he learned that the Cordovans
were laying particular stress on the
supposed fact that the Susitna could
offer only agricultural possibilities.
The French-Herron drill on Sixmile
creek has been moved further up
stream and is again operating for the
purpose of ascertaining what kind of
ground is in that part of the stream.
The war revenue receipts have been
received in Seward by some of the
business people who are required to
pay the additional war taxes.
In a fight the other day in congress
Representative Humphrey of Wash
ington accused Representative Fitz
gerald of appropriating money for un
necessary purposes while refusing to
appropriate for the survey of the Ala
ska coast. Humphrey stated that
$850,000 worth of government ships
had been lost in Alaska waters and
that the lives of 4.‘1,000 people who
travelled last year in these waters had
been endangered by the government’s
carelesssness.

CHENEY GLAD
| ABOUT BUNNELL
NATIONAL COM M ITT EM A N SAYS
APPOINTMENT KNOCKS THE
FRAME FACTION.
Cheney, the national democratic
committeeman for Alaska, sees in the
appointment of Bunnell to the judge
ship the defeat of WickershanTs can
^ didate, Spence, and the smashing of
the Frame faction of the democratic
party in the territory. The following
is his statement given to the Juneau
Empire;
“I am especially pleased," said Mr.
Cheney, “that Mr. Bunnell received
the appointment in view of the fact
| that District Attorney Spence, of Val
dez as an applicant for the place had
| the active support of Delegate James
1 Wickersham, but not of the Democrat
•
i ic party organization. It is gratifying
! to know that it is the purpose of the
j National administration to recognize
the Democratic party in Alaska. I con
sider that thi3 will put an end to the
so-called Frame faction of the party,
which in fact had nothing in common
with the party."
WANTS COURT CLERKSHIP.
FAIRBANKS, Jan. 2.—Fred Martin
who formerly owned the California
saloon and who is now democratic
committeeman for the Fairbanks divi
sion is a candidate for the clerkship
of the district court under Bunnell.
It is said that his wife intends to start
divorce proceedings and this fact will
probably be used by his opponents.
A REAL SHOW AGAIN.
Owing to the fact that a good sup- j
ply of new’ reels arrived on the Ala
meda, the Casino will again show'
four reels every night.

MRS. M. ROBT. GUGGENHEIM
BEGINS SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
SEATTLE, Jan. 4.—A dispatch
from New York says that Mrs. M.
Robert Guggenheim has begun suit
for divorce, charging misconduct.
The couple resided in this city for
several months immediately following
the organization of the Alaska Syndi
cate which purchased the Bonanza
Copper mines and built the Copper
River & Northwestern railway.
The Skagway Alaskan, a strong and
consistent supporter of Wickersham,
in its issue of December 30 editorially
delivers a bitter attack on Bunnell.
It says that his appointment to the
i___ -..
judgeship shows that the went into
the election on promise of getting an
appointment and it declares that he
is not fitted by experience for the pos
ition. This is probably only one of th»?
many attacks from members of the
same party that may be looked for.
