THE VOTERS PREROGATIVE
Throughout the Third Division a so called sample ballot
* has been circulated recently signed ‘Third Division
” in which thfimames of Frank H. Fos—
Republican Clubs,7
ter of Cordova and Joseph H. Murray of McCarthy, have
been marked out of the list of candidates for members of
the Territorial Legislature.
Alaska has long been cursed with the type of petty
politician who thinks it clever to do such underhanded
and unscrupulous tricks, as the above. Mr. Murray and
Mr. Foster are well known in this Division. If the voters
wish to retire them to private life, it is their prerogative
and theirs alone.
For one or more individuals to arrogate to them—
selves the title of “Third Divisional Republican Clubs7’ is
a joke and for them to attempt to rule out two life long
members of the party either out of personal spite or to
insure the election of their own candidates, is laughable.
Why go Westward to look for mummies, when there
are plenty of politicians running around loose.
We wonder if these various commissions ever
thought of examining public projects first, instead of
after they are constructed; the St. Francis dam for in
stance. Seems to us a lot of commissions, bureaus and
“what have you” are passing around a lot of expert advice
these days after all the damage is done.
While the Stoll expedition is in the Arctic this year
they might take a run over to Barrow and ask Wilkins
what’s the matter with his radio outfit.
So at last they are coming to Alaska to search for
mummies. We don’t know whether to take that as an in
sult or just laugh it off careless.like.
After giving some of the professional lobbyists the
once over, one concludes that there are more hogs in this
country than can be made into pork.

Hi! REGION
IS DESCRIBED BY
SEWARD VISITOR
THE COUNTRY BEAUTIFUL SAYS
C. F. GRIESS IN SEWARD ON
WAY TO IOWA
Having spent 20 years of his life in
the great Tanana Valley, C. F. Griess,
who departed on the S. S. Aleutian
for the States, certainly should be an
authority of that immense region.
When approached by The Gateway. <
Mr. Griess began talking about the
wonderful v Kantlshna district. His
| remarks follow:
The Kantlshna river, the principle
stream of this tributary valley, gath
i ers the waters of the two great peaks,
Mount McKinley and Foraker, which
rise above the Alaskan range at this
point. The valley is but a small part
of the district, however, which i3
on an average of some 30 miles in
width and near 250 miles long. The
bottom lands are very fertile and
and with a fairly heavy growth of
timber. Among this- is considerable
birch and spruce for mill purposes
and heavy growths of cottonwood
i which should make good pulp.
The gentle slopes of this valley
have, with its lakes and warm springs,
always been a favorite breeding
ground for moose and bear and also
for forest birds—native as well as
migratory.
Here the mallard ducks can be
seen in his winter home, in spite of
all naturalists who would deny him
the privilege of wintering in Alaska.
He takes his exercise in the air and
waxes mighty upon a diet of fish* and
water grass; so mighty, that should
he lack a mate come springtime, the
j
decree of divorce which he hands to i
j to some tourist drake, is most violent j
I and leaves him in sadder, wiser and ‘
}
! single again.
Vegetables of the kind that grow ;
j in the North thrive and yiel-7 r'11 T
fully in this valley and the yearly
j waste of the wild fruits are sad to be
i hold—the abundance is unbelieveable. I
i
The placer of the Kantishna was |
! first struck by Benson and Benben- j
i ick in 1904 and while never very rich ;
! they have produced many a grub >
t
! bhrning of manv ’bright lights’' which :
j
would have burned low at an earlier j
I j
date, but for them.
I
The hope for this section as a fu
; ture mining camp is reasonable trans
portation— transportation that dou
bles and triples the miners outfit be
fore it reaches his cache, will do but
little to develop a camp regardless
of its promise.
The antimony property in this
country is notable, one of the biggest
deposits known, which is owned or
controlled by W. R. Taylor, is now
by way of being sold to an operating
company in the Fairbanks district.
I. B. Quigley, by long years of pat
ient work, has now reached the point
where a reasonable priced transpor
tation for his ore will, without a
' doubt, bring in the largest mine in
the Interior.
Mr. Griess is confident that at some
date that the valley and beautiful hills
that form its southern rim, will be
the garden spot of Interior Alaska.
Cleanliness and the best of meats
our motto. Frye-Bruhn.
