(
(Cordova Times)
All is not serene in the camp of the j
rritorial d«nocrats, in which the
ieral offices appear to be the bone ,
contention. National Committee
in Thomas Jefferson Donohoe is I
ck at Washington with his little
ho's who" book, which he is exhib
ng to the appointive powers in the j
pe of being able to name those j
10m he considers are entitled to the
ims that are soon to be shaken from
^ patronage tree.
In this connection it is interesting
note that the first gun fired
ainst the reappointment of Gover
r String was stationed in the
■nehes at Valdez and the Prospector
-nished the ammunition. Its broad
ie charges that Strong had been
ting with the republicans and Wick
shamites in the filling of the several
pointive positions that fell to his
. That paper also charges that the
ilant major is not now, nor never
3 been, a democrat, as yas demon
ated in his refusal as a member
? ;the canvassing board to ‘‘count in”
1 Izer as the next delegate to con
fSS.
Sviden&- taking its cue from our
ghboring town, the Cordova Demo
V tic club met last night and adopted
olutions protesting against the re
(ointment of Strong as governor,
ause he failed to reward faithful
nocrats.
t is intimated that Judge Jennings
Juneau, is likely to have the ^fen
sement of the democratic machine
governor. The other aspirants foi
3 office are Judge Bunnell, of Fair
iks; John W. Troy, of Juneau; E.
Griffin, of Chena. W. H. Whittel
, of Sewird, who was mentioned as
i candidate, is in reality seeking to
succeed District Attorney Spence,
whom the democrats are anxious to re
place, but are likely to favor A. J.
Dimond, of Valdez, for the place if he
will accept it. There is little or no
opposition to Judge Brown continuing
on the bench for another four years,
but whether Marshal Brenneman will
be able to hold on depends entirely up
on vhow far Vice-President Marshal is
willing to go for him in the face of
the fact that there are other demo
crats who have strong local backing
for this office.

WELL ICNOWN VALDEZAN
DEAD AT LATOUCHE
(Valdez Prospector.)
A wireless message from Latouche
to W. T. Scott, received yesterday
afternoon, states that John Gray, one
of the pioneer residents of Valdez,
died yesterday presumably at La
touche from uremic poisoning, and
that the body would arrive here to
day, probably on the Northwestern.
The message gave no particulars of
the occurrence.
The deceased has been a resident
Df Valdez for a number of years, and
has a wide circle of friends. He was
a member of the Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs, and the Eaglea. He left
Valdez a short time ago with Charles
II. Crawford and a crew of men for
the purpose of constructing a wharf
! at Knight Island. It is presumed he
was taken ill there and was removed
to Latouche for medical treatment.
THK GREATEST AUTHORITY

Of all the extraordinary authorities
on Alaska the greatest is L)r. Fred M.
Spiers, “United States Commissioner
for the Second district of Alaska.”
This wonderful medicine man tells
some facts in the Butte Miner of
March 8 as follows:
Hunters Hot Springs, March 7.—
Tales rivalling those portrayed in Rex
1 Beach’s “Spoilers,” and painting a
glowing picture of Alaska are being
, told around Hunters Hot Springs these

! States commissioner for the Second
district of Alaska. I)r. Spiers, wear
ing a Russian sable cap and the regi
1 mental shoe equipment, arrived here
Sunday to take treatment for sciatic
rheumatism.
It takes the commissioner a whole
year to make the round trip from
Ochotzgachafamute, where the gov
ernment mission is established. He
says the way to pronounce the name of
the place is by a simple sneeze. It is
j located in the far north over 1200
miles from Nome and to get there sev
eral different kinds of joumeyings are
necessary. Leaving Nome he travels
on the White Pass & Yukon railway to
! the Yukon river, thence a canoe trip
to the mouth of that stream takes the
traveler to the Koyukuk river, whence
he gets to the land of the Esquimo.
The last 350 miles of the journey is
made via dog team and this can be
made at only certain seasons of che
year when the ice is formed.
Dr. Spiers has to cross Chilcotte
pass in getting to the base, where he
has been for the past 21 years. He
says this is his first trip to this coun
try during that time. He scouts some
of the claims made by Steffanson, the
explorer, and declares that Dr. Cook
has a great deal to learn about scaling
Mt. McKinley.
