EXTRAORDINARY EXECUTIVE POWERS
The announcement that Senator Howell, the demonstrated foe of
Alaska and especially The Alaska Railroad, had blocked the construc
tion of coal bunkers at Seward, brings to light an dntirely new phase
of governmental procedure. It reveals that, in addition to legislative
powers, a committee of Senators are permitted to override the Secretary
of the Interior and allocate to themselves powers supposedly belonging
to the executive rather than the legislative branch of the government.
It was the belief of everyone that the naming of the Senatorial
committee was in line with the creation of an advisory force whose
duties it would be to inform the Senate on the nature of legislation
calculated to meet an emergency existing in the annual deficit of the
railroad. It was not thought that this small minority of Senators would
supersede the Secretary of the Interior and the general manager of the
railroad, in matters of policy and direction.
Anyone familiar with the methods employed by Senator Howell
and his committee in the inquiry directed to The Alaska Railroad, must
per force, set it down as one of the most glaring pieces of hippodrome
ever foisted upon the public. Secret service men in advance, snooping
on every gathering of men where information might be gained, sup
plied the committee with names of those who were considered elthe^
good yes men, or unprepared to supply the kind of information the
Senators apparently sought. Invitations to appear before Chambers
of Commerce, where the leaders of the community might express them
selves and offer suggestions, were refused with a bluffness hardly ex
pected of a servant of the people. At the hearings held in Anchorage,
several prominent men were rebuked by Senator Howell when they
sought to present evidence or argument germain to a solution of the
problem in question. Each witness summoned and sworn was treated
much after the manner of an attorney seeking impeachment rather
than a free expression.
The report submitted to the Senate as printed in the Congressional
Record, was not in harmony with the facts save in showing that there
was a deficit. ,
In view of this situation and the attitude of Senator Howell, it
would require one with more credulity than the average Alaskan to
imply anything but bad faith in the entire proceedings.
Anyway, a lot of Alaskans will have a good alibi if we are con
fronted with a charge of hoarding.

on the works—shift boss of the
three gangs.
Great success was attained on
these workings where Stansen
found the second biggest nugget;
land he feot away with it, he re
called with a chuckle, but later re
turned $250 in gold dust as pay
ment for the nugget. In the mean
time, another personal celebration
was enjoyed and when Stansen re
turned to the property, he was
tendered the job of cook on No. 9.
He didn’t like this offer, which paid
$15 a day. but nevertheless, took it
for a while after which he return
ed to Nome. He planned to return
to the States but Lindbergh said:
“No! Ycu are too lucky. Stay and
I will pay you $5 a day just to stick
around.” He remained all winter
doing nothing at $5 a day.
The following fall he signed on
the schooner Fisher Bros, of Chi
cago, arriving in Seattle with a
poke of $700. This soon took wings
and he shipped on the then second
biggest vessel in the world, the May
Flint, bound for San Francisco.
There many friends greeted him
with: “Here comes the ‘Lucky
Swede’ with a:i ounce of gold.”
From the Golden Gate, he ship
ped back to Karluk where he began i
fishing once again, making enough |
to get by on for the winter. The j
urge to return to Nome became
pregnant, so boarding a codfish
boat, he beat it back to Sand Point
where he fished until the famous
old steamer Corwin, enroute to
Nome, hove in. The bos’n of the
Corwin went on a drunk and left;
Stansen was signed on in his place
by Captain West. He had intended
to remain all summer on the Cor
win, but the temptation to go
ashore was too strong even though
he had signed an iron-clad con
tract. There was only one way to
get ashore and that was to get
fired, so he drank deeply from the
cup that cheers and his desire was
granted. He was put on the beach
at St. Michael.
He returned to Nome on a small
gasboat and again went to work for
Miller’s Barber Shop

Seward’s Pioneer
and rixDert Barber

When the work stopped he went to
work for the Cape Nome Road
house, then owned by the Misses
Rogan and Fargner. The following
summer he rejoined the Corwin
crew after which he again returned
to the States.
Life Outside soon palled, so many
years ago he pulled up “stakes’' for
Unga where he has been cod-fish
ing since.
CUTTER WESTBOUND
The Coast Guard cutter Talla
poosa, Capt C. H. Dench, com
mander, which arrived in Seward
Tuesday evening for oil and mail,
departed for Kodiak Wednesday
afternoon. The Tallapoosa will re
main at Kodiak for several days
and will then proceed from Kodiak
to the Bering Sea where it will act
as an bscort for the migrating seal
herd.
MAKES BITTER ATTACK
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 10.—
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the
Democratic National Executive I
Committee, believes President Hoo- !
ver is “a monumental failure” and :
“the most ill-suited man who has'
filled the Presidential chair in 50 !
years.” His bitter attack was be
lieved a counter-blast against re
cent Rupublican claims that Dem
ocrats were defaming the Presi
dent.
