WOMEN SEEKING TO
MVERY ALASKANS
WRITE POSTMASTER
Not long ago Leslie’s Weekly made
the statement that women were scarce
in Alaska. Then the New York World
, published a similar statement. Ja*
neau was mentioned as a tine matri
monial market, in both articles.
i
The result is that Postmaster Hunt
er has received dozens of letters from
girls and w3men who are seeking hus
bands.
One woman, Mrs. 0. L. David of
Meridian, Miss., a widow, wants to
correspond with some one who will
answer her letters. She says she is ;
thirty years old, “not rich nor beauti- *
ful but fine looking." and her height,
is put at 6 feet 6<# inches. (No, this
is not a typographical error.) She is
| wiling to exchange photographs.
Miss M. Smith, 35, of 844 Amster
dam avenue. New York City, also j
wants a husband. She desires "a man
1 who is a man in every sense of the;
word," and, she says, she has been un-;
able to find what she calls a man, in
45 years, old and must be at least 5
feet 7 inches in height. “Four of us i
gir’s here want to get married," She
says in conclusion.

RICHARDSON TALKS

JUNEAU, Nov. 7.—Col. Wilds P.
Richardson, chairman of the Alaska
Road commission, passed through
here last week enroute to the Outside.
While here he was closely interview
ed as to the publication of letters re
ferring to the Richardson-Wickersham
controversy on the road question, in
the All-Alaska Review, and stated
hat his letter to that publication was
not half strong enough.
Asked concerning the standing of
Delegate Wickersham at Washington,
Col. Richardson said: “By reason of
his voluminous disregard for truth
and the common principles of decency,
Wickersham has attracted some at
tention, but commands about the same
degree of respect at the national capi- j
tal as does a horse thief in Texas.”—

ALASKA NOTES
William A. Holzheimer, who was
appointed amicus curiae by Judge
Jennings to discover if the Alaska
legislature had power to interfere
with the liquor laws, has declared
that the legislature has no such
power.
It is now charged by a boy called
Clarence Fay thal his brother, Earl
Fay, was kidnapped by Edward
Krause several years ago.
Charles E. Claypool, formerly of
Fairbanks, is mentioned as a probable
candidate for the lieutenant govern
orship of Washington.
Eleven people are now’ reported
missing in the First Division and
so ne reports indicate that Krause
may be responsible for them all or
most of them.
A Mr. Poprivieo was recent’y be
ing examined at Fairbanks by Bun
nell for his citizenship papers and
when he was asked who made the
laws of the territory he said Wicker
sham did. When he was reminded
that Alaska had a legislature and
was asked if that legislature did not
make the laws Mr. P- said it
“tried to make them.”
