PASSING OF C. H. HOLMES
With the passing of C. H. Holmes, respectively master carpenter,
general foreman, bridge engineer, chief engineer, and in the abseuce of
the general manager of the Alaska Railroad, acting general manager,
goes one of the veteran vanguard who have made the Alaska Railroad
a success from an operating standpoint.
As is shown by his successive promotions, Mr. Holmes, while a man
of high technical skill and army training, was willing to win his spurs
on his merit rather than thru the favors of political fortune.
In emulation of that spirit so pronounced among railroad men Mr.
Holmes never lost contact with his fellows in his steady advancement
upwards, and thereby retained the respect and friendship of subordi
nates and superiors throughout his career.
Alaska has been exceptionally fortunate in the class of executives
chosen for the railroad, as much in the ability of the men as in their
personal qualities. Of such was Mr. Holmes, and his loss is shared by his
many loyal friends as much as by the railroad.
APOSTLE OF THE WEST
Robert M. McBride & Company, publishers at New York City, an
nounce TRAILS THROUGH THE GOLDEN WEST, a book of travel by
Robert Frothingham, world traveller, big game hunter and lecturer, is
now available to the public. One needs to only know the distinquished
author to feel assured that here is a book of the old west by a masterly
writer who knows his subject.
Here is what the publishers say about the new volume. “Mr. Froth
ingham knows his West intimately and is writing with pardonable en
thusiasm about its natural wonders and the glories of mountain, lake
and desert. Full of color, incident and romance, it glows with interest
and should appeal to every man who has felt the call of the open spaces.
Besides, it should be in the library of every man who wants a., complete
evaluation of our golden west.”
The author is a noted explorer and masterly writer of Alaska and
has established himself as unique among contemporary authorities on
the North.
An aged Indian is cutting his third set of teeth. Which show’s that
he has been thru his third panic.
Juneau heralds to the world the statement that it is the one best
bet in Alaska. Yes, it’s a two-to-one shot that the newcomer will lose
his grip on tile town and fall off and crack his head.
If things get too hot in Europe and the States for Kings, Premiers
and politicians, let them be banished to Alaska, the alleged frozen north.

ATTORNEYGENERAL.
OPPOSED FEDERALS
BELIEVES CONSERVATION IN
TERRITORY BEEN GREATLY
OVERWORKED
The following is a copy of Frank j
H. Foster’s platform. He is a
candidate for the office of Attor
ney General of Alaska:
Juneau, Alaska,
March 26, 1932.
“I am a candidate for the office
of Attorney General of the Terri
tory of Alaska, subject to the will
of the voters as expressed at the
Primary Election, April 26, 1932,
and as such, respectfully solicit
your support.
“I have been a resident of the
Territory of Alaska for 21 years,
am married and have five children,
all raised in Alaska. Whatever I
have of the world’s gear, which
isn’t much, is invested in this Ter
ritory. I have been a practicing
attorney for 26 years, have hold
the office of United States District
Attorney and during three sessions
have been a member of the Terri
torial Legislature. I expect to re
main here for the rest of my days,
and to do my utmost in the future
as I have in the past, for the up
building of the Territory.
“I am utterly opposed to Federal
or any interference in Territorial
affairs. I believe that the conser
vation principle has been over
worked in Alaska to the extent that
| most of our Territorial resources
! have become the playthings of
j Federal bureaucrats. I believe that
there will be no lasting prosperity
| for the Territory until the chains
binding us to the Federal bureaus
are severed. I am utterly opposed
to the brand of conservation which
was foisted upon us by Gifford Pin
chot and others of his ilk.
“I favor the encouragement of
Alaska labor, the employment of
Alaskans and citizens of the Unit
ed States in all public and private
works. I believe that all Alaska
appointees should be chosen from,
bona fide resident Alaskans.
“I believe in the equality of priv
ilege and opportunity for all Al
askans whether white or native.
“It is my opinion that the game,
fish and fur-bearers of this Terri
tory are the heritage of the people
resident herein and should be so
administered as to give resident Al
askans first opportunity to put
same to beneficial use. I am op
posed to game laws or regulations
which deny to our people the right
to take a reasonable toll of such
resources.
“I do not believe in the leasing
system as applied to coal, oil or
fur farming lands. It is my opin
ion that the Homestead laws should
not be hampered by the red tape
of forestry regulations. I know that
if Alaska were placed under the
same conditions as existed at the
time of the opening up of the
Great West, we, too, would develop
and prosper in the same manner
as the States have.
“If chosen Attorney General, I
pledge myself to administer that
office fairly and impartially, giving
to all the same degree of justice
and honest dealing without dis
crimination as to race or condition.
“If these principles appeal to
you, please place a cross before my
name at the Primary Election.
“Yours very truly,
“FRANK H. FOSTER.”
