WICKERSHAM RE-ELECTED.
It is a matter i'or extreme 'congratulation that Delegate
James Wickersham has been re-elected to represent Alaska in
the halls of congress. Since the election in November, the result
has been in doubt, until the canvassing board took the matter
in hand. The board has scrutinized the returns in the First
division and has cut down the Sulzer plurality by 12 votes in
that district. The board has likewise canvassed all the returns
available'in the Second division, with four precincts missing,
and it is revealed that the delegate has a lead of 302 votes over
Sulzer in that district. The Third and Fourth division returns
had not been canvassed up to Saturday night- But what clinch
es the election in favor of the delegate is the result of the vote
in the Bristol bay region. This region has always been claimed
as a Sulzer stronghold, because it is essentially a salmon can
nery community. Republicans were inclined to concede that
Sulzer would come out of that region with a substantial plu
rality. To the surprise of all, the result shows that Wicker
sham gains a lead of 25 votes over Sulzer in this fishing dis
trict. Hence, his election is now no longer a matter of doubt
at all. It is assured beyond a possibility of miscarriage. The
election board is doing the square thing and giving the dele
gate his dues, as this paper has maintained from the first that
it would do, notwthsandng the fact that the personnel is op
posed to Wickersham politically.
It is well for Alaska that the delegate is returned to con
tinue his fight in behalf of the people of this territory. I he
delegate his effectually quashed the pernicious Alexander fish
ing bill, so far as this session of the congress is concerned, but
it will bob up again at the next session. The bill has the back
ing of the powerful fishing lobby at Washington. The canner
ies insist upon the passage of the measure, but with Delegate
Wickersham on guard, there is slight hopes for them in this
direction. With Mr. Sulzer as our delegate, the situation
might be different. Not that the democratic candidate would
favor the passage of the bill, but he would be new to his du
ties and labor under a handicap in consequence. Not so with
♦he delegate, whose vast experience in congress equips him to
battle to the best advantage. Delegate Wickersham’s ability
is recognized in the congress. He has proved himself a match
for the ablest members of that body. The Alexander fishing
bill is a dead one.
The delegate has stood by the railway project. There can
be no doubt whatever that he will aid in the appropriations in
the future, as lie has in the past.
Delegate Wickersham owes his re-election, in large part, to
the unfailing loyalty of the Cook inlet country. His home di
vision—the Fourth—gave a slight plurality to the opposing
candidate. The First division went over to the enemy by a
plurality of over 400 votes. The Second division was loyal to
the delegate. The Third division, save for the Cook inlet
country, was about evenly divided. The Cook inlet country
went down the line, first and last, for the delegate. Hence it
is that we may rightfully claim a large share in the re-elec
tion of Alaska’s devoted friend and advocate—Delegate Janies
Wickersham, who for two years more will be on guard in
Alaska’s behalf at the national capital. And such measures
as the Alexander fishing bill shows that we need a valiant,
able and faithful representative in the congress.
Three companies have been formed in Anchorage this win
ter for the development of mining properties in the Willow
creek gold mining camp. The formation of a company is a
good method to employ in the development of a given district,
hut it follows that if a camp is to be opened, the moneys de
rived from -the sale Of stocks must be used for the purpose
stated. The Times has no knowledge that the companies that
have been formed here will do otherwise, and if so, it is a legit
imate means toward the development of a mining camp. It is
usually the case that the prospector who finds a favorable
prospect has no funds with which to develop it. Spending
nearly all of his time in the hills in quest of metals or minerals,
lie has no time to work for wages and thus accumulate a little
money. His only hope is to sell the prospect to men of means,
or to organize a development company.
A Boosters’ club has been organized in Anchorage and
starts out under favorable auspices. The Cook inlet region
composes a country that will stand boosting, and we have
need of all the legitimate boosters that we can secure. And
if we had less “two year’’ talk in this town, things would be
different, too. Tf we have no confidence in our community, how
in the name of common sense can we instill faith in those who
may come among us I There is need* of a big commercial cen
ter to supply the needs of the Cook inlet country. Anchorage
is ideally located for this purpose.
The matter of winter outdoor sports is being advocated by
a number of representative citizens, to be in the nature of a
field day. This kind of an event is an annual one in many of
the northern countries and conld be made a great success in
Anchorage. There would be practically no expense attached
to the scheme and it would be a source of great amusement to
the public. In addition to skii jumping, tug of war op snow
shoes and races of various kinds^ the jelimaJ^of the day would
be short dog tea mraces for both gentlemen and ladies bn a
cource that could be followed frbm*stoittm‘vafttagt? point.’ *

Vol. 1. No. 158. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and D
When we wrote to Holland, Mich., for the San-Tox agency
our intention was to secure for Anchorage the Most Dependable
line of proprietary medicines made today. The high standard
of quality in their products has been the wonder of the phar
maceutical world. Mention one of their most popular prep
arations is:
San-Tox Pure Balsam With Menthol and Eucalyptus.
It is soothing and healing to the inflamed passages of the
throat and lungs and should give almost instant relief to se
vere colds. An ideal prepartion. 4 oz. bottle 35c; 8 oz., 65c.
Work is expressing thought. How thought should be ex
pressed is second only to the correctness of thought itself.
Every home needs a Hot Water Bottle.
We carry the Wearever, rubber, 1-3A Plus—-not the cheap
est they make—but the best—$2.00 for a 2 quart No. 40 bottle.
Guaranteed for two years but will last longer.
CENTS AND SENSE.
In the development of a business every man soon comes to
the parting of the road. What is it to be? Shall he cater to
those who are willing to pay for quality and service, or is low
price merchandise to be his motto? We have only to think of
Woolsworth to remember that selling cheap merchandise is
profitable. Yet there is a satisfaction in selling quality goods
that is measured not altogether in dollars and cents. The
money-back guarantee is given only with high-grade merchan
dise, and personally I think it is a mistake to carry anything
else but guaranteed goods.

OUT OF PLACES
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—William Jen
nings Bryan, in a special interview
i here with a representative of the
Christian Science Monitor, outlined
his plans for making the entire' na
tion dry. Mr. Bryan had come here
to speak before the Federated Coun
| cil of Churches of Christ in America,
! in session here. He said his first
work would consist in lining up the
democratic organizations in the piv
otal states and then in putting the
question before the national demo
cratic party.
“My plan,” said Mr. Bryan, “is to
encourage in every way possible the
bringing of dry democrats in the dem
ocratic party to control the acts of
the party in the state and nation.
It is possible a prohibiton amend
ment may be submitted to congress at
this session, or perhaps at the next.
At any rate prohibition is coming
soon. The movement is growing at a
constantly increasing rate.”

To a question as to whether he was
planning, as reported, to merge the
democratic and prohibition parties in
his fight he smiled and said:. “That
is a question I cannot discuss, It
would be absurd for me to make pre
dictions along that line now at the
beginning of the campaign.
“What about the brewery workers
in a city like St. Louis?” he was ask
ed. “Don’t you think the closing of
the plants and the resultant throwing
out of employment of a big number
of workers, would cause suffering, and
trouble?”
“Here is the answer to that: The
breweries of Missouri each yeai
throw more men out of employment
through drink than are employed in
the breweries. The men who lose
their jobs through drink cannot get
others. Brewery workers who lose
their jobs by prohibition would get
other positions more satisfactory than
they now have. It is absurd to say
that a state or a community could
suffer economically by diverting em
ployment in the manufacture of harm
ful things to the manufacture of
things wholesome and helpful.”
When he appeared before the Fed
eral Council of Churches convention,
Mr. Bryan proposed that the council
appoint a representative body to visit
Europe in the interest of peace. “My
idea,” said he, “is that Christians of
the world, together with those of the
Jewish faith, ought to be instrument
al in ending the war and in building
an enduring peace on the foundation
of love and brotherhood.
