some time Monday.
Captain H. C. Kline and Chief Engi
neer C. C. Campbell, of the freighter
Latouche, made The Times a pleasant
cal this afternoon.
There was absolutely nothing origi
nal in 'Mr. Sulzer’s remarks .and even
his local adherents are los'ng faith
and feel that the pitcher went to tthe
well once too often.
Captain J. Johnson of the freighter
Latouche, reports a very; rough ..trip
and also reports that they^ rraide the
trip in seven days and seven" hours
from Seattle to Anchorage.

The students of Christian Science in
Anchorage ,who organized an associa
tion here less than a year ago, have
by reason of the increasing interest in
the Sunday lesson-sermon and the dif
ficulty in securing a suitable meeting
place, been compelled to erect a home
of their own. The new edifice is lo
cated on a lot purchased by .the asso
ciation at a recent sale on the corner
of Third avenue and H streets and.is
a cozy little building built bungalow
style, with an auditorium_having a
seating capacity amply large for the
needs of the association for some
i time to come. The association has
been meeting temporarily for some
time past in the Empress theatre at
4 in the afternoon, but beginning to
morrow the lesson-sermon will be read
in their new home, services beginning
at 11 o'clock in the morning.
This is a corect account of the wres
tling match: Elmer threw Aumann,
but Peterson did not throw the pik
ing. The preliminary go between El
mer, the terrible Russian, and George
Abman, of spitball fame, was good.
Elmer threw Aumann in two straight
falls. Ross acted as timekeeper and
announcer. Blase was the official ref
eree^
Peterson’s agreement was to throw
Young Viking twice in 30 minutes,
winner to take entire gate receipts.
Peterson won the first fall in less than
11 minutes, but did not throw Viking
the second time. The match was very
good and deserved a much better at
tendance.

HUE
THE DESERT AIR
Fiasco-fizzle-fizz-Sulzer. Not even
the band could arouse the enthusiasm
although the Empress was fairly well
filled last night to hear the exhorta
tions of Chas. A. Sulzer. Like the
parrot he talked too much and too
long, and the people began to leave
the theatre long before the meeting
was out. Tom Price couldn’t get
away; he occupied the seat of honor
and introduced the speaker.
Sulzer-may be a good mine owner,
but he certainly is no public speaker,
but then he had nothing particularly
to talk about except self—ego and I—
certainly a dry subject.
Sulzer accomplished in a few min
utes what it took Washington Irving
several days to do—he put Rip Van
Winkle to sleep and Rip had lots of
company. Anyway Captain Lathrop
rented the theatre, Bandmaster Bacon
got his and they didn’t take up a col
lection.
Jim Bums and the megaphone Sid
very well and made lots of noise.
Mr. Sulzer’s speech was made up prin
cipally pf egotism and started out by
saying what they all have to say: “I
did not seek the office; it was forced
upon me.” He can rest in peace the
nomination is as far as he will go.
He was faithful to the balance of the
democratic ticket and urged the adher
ents to stand firm and vote her
straight and often. Also he used the
same old plea of being a friend of the
laboring man but records show no
proof of this and the laborers present’
at last night’s meeting were not im
pressed.
Anybody can read statistics and
bulletins and this was Mr. Sulzer’s
strong point last night but he gave the
wrong interpretation. He acknowl
edged that he was a mine owner and
a postmaster and laid great stress on
the fact that the thirty and seven peo
ple living in the town of Sulzer voted
for him at some minor election. This
is only natural—they were all em
ployes of the Sulzer mjpe. Some cred
it, he should have repeated the state
ment.
Mr. Sulzer did not make any votes
for himself last night and his state
ment that this should be a self-gov
erned city did not sit well with the
voters who are perfectly satisfied with
existing conditions.
To further make himself unpopular
with the Anchorage voters and the
voters in this vicinity he extolled the
Alaska Road Commission to the skies.
He said they were doing justice to the
territory in the way of “Good Roads.”
The condition of the wagon roads in
this section of Alaska will not bear
out his statements and he certainly
cannot expect the support of the peo
ple on this issue. The fact that Mr.
Sulzer is supporting Col. Richardson
and the road commission and uphold
ing their policy is alone sufficient
cause for his ignominious defeat. Mr.
Sulzer admitted that it was through
Delegate Wickersham's efforts that
the substantial appropriation for terri
torial roads was made. Mr. Sulzer
proved this by reading to the audience
from page 36 of one of the congres
sional records. Wick got the money
and has gone on record that he will do
everything in his power to get better
roads for this immediate section' of
Alaska. Mr. Wicketsham is ferninst
the present system of handling the
road situation in this part of the terri
tory and is doing everything in his
power to improve local conditions. Mr.
Sulzer went on record last night as
being favorable to the road commis
sion and apparently doesn’t think
“Good Roads” are needed here, but is
perfectly willing thqt the commission
should spend thousands of dollars in
his immediate vicinity and in the
neighborhood of the Sulzer mine.
Moose Hall Meeting.
“Election Issues" will be the subject
of discussion at Rev. Jack Dunstan’s
meeting in the Moose hall Sunday eve
ning. The nominated candidates of all
parties are invited to attend and will
be given the floor for 15 minutes each.
The program will close with an ad
dress by Mr. Dunstan on “The Prohi
bition Referendum.” An open forum
will be held at 7:00 p. m. and the first
address will be given at 7:80.
