SEWARD AUTHOR CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
Thoma.s B. Drayton of Seward,
widely known writer and author of
a series of articles on Alaska topics
which recently received wide public
ity in the States through a syndicate
of leading newspapers, is an aspir
ant for the high honor of being Al
a«ka's next delegate to Congress, ac
cording to Southeastern Alaska ex
changes of recent date.
Drayton is a candidate for the
republican nomination at the priniar
ies next year and is said to have no
hesitancy in admitting the fact that,
in the immortal words of the late
Col. Teddy, his “hat is in the ring”
and he yearns to do and dare for the
“deer peepui in the storied halls of
C ongress.
One article dealing with his can
didacy says he is a close friend of
Henry Ford, the Detroit auto ki •,
and it is expected that his Candida'y
will receive the active financial sip
port of the famous Henry, in the
coming campaign.

Mr. Chilberg also referred to the
Point Barrow oil development out

“The newspapers out here ga\e
Bob Adams a great deal of publicity
upon his return from the North.
Most everyone out here does not
think much of the oil field- up there
on account of the inaccessibility and
poor transportation facilities.
“1 read a dispatch in the paper
the other day which stated that the
oil fields at Fort Norman were a
disappointment and were not show

At the time of writing Mr. Chil

says he encountered Norman Stines,
of the Alaska Mines Company, dur

FOR PIONEER HOME
John Grosch. for many years a
resident of the Solomon district, left
on the last sailing of the Victoria
for the Pioneer’s Home at Sitka, and
in his departure there vanished from
local ken a most unique character.
This old timer came to Solomon in
1897 but in twenty four years resi
dence there he had been in Nome but
once prior to his leaving for the out
side. In 1912 he was brought hero
to defend himself in a lawsuit grow
ing out of his shooting at n man for
alleged trespass.
During his stay in the Solomon
country he was engaged in mining
and raising of vegetables for tho
market. Living entirely alone as ho
did. it is somewhat remarkable that
Grosch retained his reason. While
he had many pecularities which some
times develop as a result of living
the lonely life of an Alaskan bache
lor. his love for the open and for
animals helped him to retain his
Grosch on his last birthday was 87
years of age and until his last ar
rival in Nome had never seen an elec
tric light or a moving picture, as
well as many other features of mod
ern life familiar to even the children
of today.
