COL. DICK IN
NORTH 20 YEARS
Will Open New Office at Juneau On
Anniversary of His Coming
to Alaska
JUNEAU, July 21, (By Mail).—On
August 1 the offices of the Alaska
road commission in Juneau will be
open to the people of Alaska. That
Tlatc is the twentieth anniversary of
Lieutenant-Colonel W. P. Richard
son’s army service in Alaska.
On August 1, 1897, Lieutenant-Col
onel W. P. Richardson, six feet in his
stocking feet, weight 200 pounds and
filled with the spirit of 1776, left Fort
William Russell, Wyoming, under or
ders from the war department to pro
ceed via Seattle and St. Michael for
Alaska to report on the Klondike rush.
He proceeded as far as hort \ukon
where his steamer was stopped by
floating ice and during the winter
months a station was established for
the succor of American stampeders,
including the operation of an army
hospital.
Colonel Richardson is a firm believer
that the time is rapidly approaching
when the territory will be able to take
charge of the road construction, and
the pioneer work which he instituted
and carried out for upward of twenty
years will be falling into civilian
hands.
Colonel Richardson returned on the
Alaska from a trip to western Alaska
where he conferred with assistants re
garding road work. He is anxious to
co-operate with the territorial road
builders.

HONOR HERO Of
| WAR MYSTERY
Officer In His Majesty’s Army Per
forms Great Deeds, But Must
Hide Details
LONDON, June 10. (By Mail).—
Commander Gordon Campbell, myste
rious hero of the British navy, re
cently leaped 700 junior naval officers
in promotion, became a member of
the Distinguished Service Order and
was decorated with the Victoria Cross
in less than a year and a half. Yet,
with a storm raging around his secret
career, he is bound by naval ethics
not to tell publicly how he won either
his promotion or the high honors be
stowed by King George.
Curiosity started ml idly, but when
Campbell and the Admiralty remained
j silent, the demand for information
reached the proportion of a public
uproar. Campbell is not criticized, ex
actly; the public really wants a
chance to sing his praises. The music
is ready but English hero-worshippers
refuse to sing a song without words,
| which makes the present demonstra
tion ^ clamor instead of a popular
laudation.
A high official of the Admiralty to
day assured the United Press that
Campbell’s achievements and bravery
during the war deserves every honor
turned upon him. When the war is
over the people may know what he did
and how he did it, but for the time be
ing his deeds must remain behind the
veil .
Just recently his name appeared in
the Court Circular as the recipient of
the Victoria Cross, highest of all hon
ors for sheer bravery, so Campbell
must have found something more ex
citing than the command of the Bit
tern.
