As an example of the irony of fate the story of how the "government
mayor” of Atuhorage came to Seward stands supreme. Government officials
seem to have become united in the desire to adopt Anchorage as their own
sweet and peerless offspring. The members of the Engineering Commission
and every man connected with the government service manifest a most
paternally intense love for the city they created in the wilderness, and who
can blame them ?
It is probable, however, that the plans to build great wharves out into
the Inlet whe eby >hips might be unloaded, ice or no ice, must now appear
impracticable. The conditions are evidently ot worse possibilities than the
Engineering Commission had been able to ascertain during seasons of great
er mildness and Seward as the only real terminal for the government rail
road stands out on a firmer foundation than ever.
Guess we"I all have to study up on that statehood question now to be ;
able anyhow to talk as it we knew something about it. Wickersham is going
to ask for statehood, he says, and if Wickersham asks for statehood the
majority of the people of the territory will ask for it, because the majority
of the people of this territory have a habit ot wanting w hat W ickersham
wants. It is too early to attack the idea yet, especially as we haven t had
time to ask the Guggenheims what we must say about it, but, Guggenheims
or no Guggenheims—by George, that s desperate that plan to get state
hood looks just a little bit premature. Now, if statehood could enable us to
avoid some of those gentlemen from the far otT southern states, whom the
present administration seems to think so indispensable to our salvation, give
us that statehood -yes, give it to us whatever else it might mean—give us
anything that can raise us above the level of negroes on one of those south
ern plantations, bossed by those whole-souled things that aie so far superior
to an Alaskan--give us any old thing of any kind but for heavens sake keep
those southern gentlemen away from us, Woodrow.

j TO HAVE PERISHED IN ROCKIES
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 26.—Swal
lowed up in the fastnesses of the
Rocky Mountains and long ago given
up as dead, the mysterious disappear
ance of Dr. Thornton R. Sampson of
Austin, Texas, has become toda^ a
part of the lore of these historic hills, i
Explanations of his accidentally fiav
I ing lost his way and perished from
1 starvation have weakened under the (
i most thorough searches.
The wierdest of many wierd stories
is that Rev. Sampson was murdered
by a hermit in the hills above Estes, j
The Texan himself, in one of his last
letters to his wife, mentioned a “queer
companion.” Dr. Sampson was a
friend of President Wilson’s. Snow
hail failen over the section of the I
range in which he was lost and ex
perienced mountaineers hold out no
! hopes that he will ever be fou d alive.

COLLINS IS OCT FOR
THE GOVERNORSHIP:
JUNEAU, Nov. 20.—It is reported
here that Louis P. Shackleford has j
made a deal with E. B. Collins, of
Fairbanks, for the proxies from the
Tanana valley to the Republican ter
ritorial convention to be held on the
coast' next spring.
It is reported that Shackleford, who *
turned the National Republican com
mitteemanship over to W. Baylis, a
clerk in his law office, now wants to
control the Republican organization in
order that he will be in a position to
say who shall form the Territorial
commission in the event thar. the Re
publican president is elected at the
next national election.
It is understood that in return for
Collins’ support Shakleford has
promised to have the Fairbanks man
appointed to the governorship of Al
aska if the Democrats are defeated, i
Chas. Herron, it is stated, is not be
ing considered in the plans of Shack
I lefprd and it is even hinted that;
! Shackleford will favor Judge Wicker
[ sham as the nominee for the Republi
j can party.
Collins has been chairman of the
Territorial legislature during both
sessions, and is reported to have as
\ serted last spring that he would I
j identify himself with the regular Re
1 publican organization in future.—
j Valdez Prospector.
The Joys and Clothes
£ ofYuletide 4
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun sus Tailoring SEWARD
Say “Shayne-Brun” ALASKA
will appeal to you at this time because it’s tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes
be measured by:
A TOPCOAT THAT
HAS MUCH Si! YLE AND
ENOUGH DURABILITY.
