“OUR NEXT DELEGATE”
DAN A. SUTHERLAND
(A FORMER NOME MAN)
Tl>e candidate of the Republican
I'arty,* Senator Ran Sutherland, needs
no introduction to th* people of Nome
and the Seward Peninsula. He came
heie when the tamp was in its infancy
and became associated with John Ses
non in the. lighterage business. His
cAtcuiivc abil'itlos tended in a great
measure Uf make the enterprise a suc
cess. During Dan Sutherland’s con
nection with the firm he gained the
confidence and friendship not only of
the workmen but the general public
as weil by his fairness and honesty to
all. Af;._t selling his inteiest in the |
liphte^-.-^te business Mr. Suth6rtaind
engaged in mining and pioepectinK and
it is u3«olutely true from a .runla-4
and prospecting standpoint that few
men know more of ths needs of tht
Territory better than Dan Sutherland,
and ctrtain'V 1.0 one is more in sympa
thetic touch with the public pulse.
Mr. Sutherland’* r>olltical life like his
business and so :i il liie is will i-i»: stain
Hjs-.fi.st term n«* S-.r.ato- ft mu the
Fourth Division was marked by con
structive and executive ability and «
strict attention to the wants and needs
of the Territory. In his appeal for
re-election as senator after four years
services no puerile and hypocritical sob
%guin.st "organized enemies" "malic
ious propaganda” or “newspaper at
tacks” (which characterizes the Grigs
by personal letter to the voters here)
was necessary. Dan was re-elected b\
the usual big majority. With his ex
perience of eight years in the. Terri
torial Semite and his forcible arid un
faltering devotion to duty. Alaska
need have no fear that her
wants will not he taken good care of
at Washington with Dan Sutherland
as Delegate. Mr. Sutherland in letters
to friends regrets his inability to come
here owing to the poor transportation
service on river and ocean which
might endanger his chances of visiting
other places where he is not so well
known personally. But he promises
to visit here next summer and we will

WINTER POPULATION CLOSE
TO LAST YEAR
Conservative estimates based on t*,e
number of arrivals and departin'*-.- n: .
divate that the winter population of
Nome is but slightly less than that of
last winter. The Customs House fig
ures disclose that the Outside depar
tures exceeded the arrivals from the
states and foreign ports by slightly
more than two hundred. The number
arriving from the states is given at
505. with an additional 2t> from foreign
ports, making a total of arrivals
amounting to 531. The number leav
ins; for the Outside and foreign ports
is placed at 735. leaving a 'difference
of 2<H between arrivals and depar
tures. A large part of this difference,
however, is due to departures from
other settlements on the peninsula, all
of which are charged to Nome ns the
nolnt of their embarkation. There are
also a Considert-bje number I'-'-e -.ho
