THE DELEGATE ELECTION.
The delegate election in Alaska is so close that it will re
quire the official count of the ballots under the auspices of the
election board to determine the result. The Times’ latest ad
vices as to -the result shows that Delegate Wickersham now
leads by six votes.
Tlie point we wish to make at tins time is, mat u it snouia
prove true that Delegate Wickersham is re-elected, as now
seems probable, lie may give the credit for such re-election to
the Cook inlet country. Practically every voting precinct in
the Cook inlet country gave a plurality for the delegate, hot
us take a look at the result as shown by the returns. The del
egate carried the Anchorage, Knik, Susitna, Cache creek, Tal
keetna, Kenai, Seldovia, Hope, Sunrise, Matanuska, Willow
creek and McDougall voting precincts, while his chief oppon
ent, Mr. Sulzer, won in the Nenilchek, Girdwood, Moose creek
and Wassilla voting precincts. The delegate carried the Cook
inlet country by a plurality of 207 votes, gaining 721 votes as
against 514 for bis democratic opponent.
The Cook inlet country did its part toward the re-election
of Delegate Wickersham. His home division—the Fourth—
which was carried by Mr. Sulzer, is the prime cause for his
reduced vote in the territory, and if it should be found that
he has been defeated, he may lay his defeat to the Fourth di
vision. We did our part in this neck of the woods and deliv
ered the goods.
A NEW ALASKA.
(Duluth Herald)
Hidden away in the more intensely interesting news dis
patches telling of the results of the election there was on Wed
nesday a brief story from Alaska that is strikingly significant
of what may be expected in that country.
Briefly* the story was to 1 lie effect that several hundred
homesteaders have arrived and settled in the section of the
country through which the United States government is build
ing its railroad; that these settlers are prospering, and that in
dications favor a rapid increase of tliis class of newcomers.
Think of that! Homesteaders going to Alaska, instead ol
gold hunters. It opens an entirely new conception of that coun
try. It means that instead of stripping an unwilling land of
its sole wealth and then abandoning it, men are finding that
there is a continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities
of the country, and are going there to cultivate it and to make
it continuously richer and more profitable. It gives a notion of
a new Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
Perhaps, too, there is another significance in this move
ment. Perhaps it is an indication that men are not today as in
sanely anxious for sudden wealth as they were in the 4fi and
Yukon days, but are better satisfied to be industrious and
prosperous with certainty, without taking the risks and under
going the hardships of the usually disappointed gold hunter.
Perhaps.
Alaska has yielded up many millions in gold; now it may
begin to yield even more millions in even more valuable prod
ucts.
The Seward newspapers might better be employed in urg
ing the claims of Resurrection bay for a great naval base, rath
A* than indulge in a futile effort to block the harbor improve
ments for the coal terminal at Anchorage. We should be in
clined to advocate a big naval base at Resurrection bay, but
it is up to the Seward publications to take the initiative.

Vol. 1. No. 139. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 4th and D
We wish you all a Merry Xmas. AVe hope you had it. And
now that it is over, and no doubt Santa Claus was nice to you,
if you have overlooked anyone you may still find a nice assort
ment of gifts to choose from at our stores.
At the very last minute we received by mail and express
from Seward some very nice additions to our stock in the line
of pipes, smoking sets and vases. Exceptionally beautiful and
artistic.
Onr candy is as usual “the very best”—and you know—
“Better late than never.”
What people think of our lines of Fountain Pens is quite
evident-—over three-quarters of our stock is sold, but we still
have a few good ones left. And we want to add that anyone who
got one of our Waterman’s Fountain Pens or Conklin’s can
have the point of his pen changed free if desired.
On a whole we can say that in all our experience in the
Drug business we have not seen such an intelligent buying as
this year in Anchorage. It was a pleasure to wait on people,
and if in the rush of business we have overlooked anyone and
failed to give as good a service as we wish, we humbly beg to
be forgiven. It was not intentional, and we wrant to thank you
all for your patience and good will.
