(Seattle Times)
The tip has come from Washington
to Alaska democrats that Gov. J. F.
A. Strong probably will succeed him
self and that there is little likelihood
that there will be more than one or
two changes in the present list of
federal appointees in the north.
One of the best posted men on Al
aska affairs got word last week that
the “inside story” of the Alaska po
litical decision is that the president
and his advisers do not wish to be
bothered by such a political turmoil
as would be made. This word comes
so direct that well posted Alaska poli
ticians are inclined to accept it.
It is declared that while there has
been a protest against Governor
Strong’s reappointment the adminis
tration is likely to have far less trou
ble if he succeeds himself than it
would have if a new governor were
named. Strong personally is well lik
ed throughout Alaska, while objection
has been urged in different quarters
against all the rival candidates pro
posed for the office.
No Change at Nome.
While the prediction is not made as
strongly as is the one affecting Gov
ernor Strong, it also is declared there
will be no change at Nome where a
democratic faction has been protesting
that the appointments were to carpet
baggers. As this seems to be the prin
cipal complaint it is declared the au
thorities at Washington, D. C., are in
clined to take the view that four
years of service has acclimated any
carpet-bagger. There is some trouble
over the Valdez district attorneyship
tha^ : ■■ not yet settled.
With the defeat of Delegate James
Wickersham official Washington is
declared to have realized that Alaskan
political affairs have suddenly quieted.
Alaska politics always have caused a
great deal of trouble $it the capital
and the feeling of relief that his
come with a temporary quiet has in
spired some of the administration
leaders to believe that if they would
be a long respite from Alaska trou
bles. Right now the administration
has something else on hand more im
portant than adjusting local differences
and it is said that so long as Alaska
can be pacific without a change, no
change will be made.
Insofar as Governor Strong person
ally is concerned the only democratic
fight against him of serious import
was that growing out of the contest
was that growing out of the contest
between Delegate Charles Sulzer and
Delegate James Wickersham.
Strong Gets Blame.
Strong, as a member of the canvass
ing board, was held responsible for
forcing Sulzer to go into court to
prevent the counting of returns from
certain precincts where it was claimed
no valid election was held. However,
Strong was the only man who could
have appealed from the court’s de
cision in Sulzer’s favor and as he re
fused to appeal, Sulzer won his seat
in congress, though Wickersham filed
a contest. It is claimed here that
Sulzer has not opposed Strong’s reap
pointment and Wickersham is not in
a position to do so.
Major Strong was indifferent last
year and early this year about reap
pointment. He is declared to have
wished to take a long rest, but when
a fight cam-' up he permitted his name
Lo be used as a candidate for reap
pointment.

ALASKA SPRUCE FOR THE MAN
UFACTURE OF AEROPLANES
WRANGELL, May 2.—N. D. Chet
ham, o the Chetham Lumber Co. of
| New York, was registered at the
Wrangell hotel this week.
Mr. Chetham’s company is a large
dealer and exporter of picked timber
for special purposes for use in the
United States and Europe.
In the past he has furnished con
siderable timber for piano manu
facture. At present he has several
large contracts to supply timber for
aeroplane factories in both the
United States and England. Mr.
Chetham’s mission to Alaska is to
buy picked spruce timber for the
manufacture of aeroplanes, and while
in Wrangell he placed as large an
order with the Willson & Slyvester
Milling company as they would ac
cept. From Mr. Chetham it was
learned that only the most perfect
timber obtainable is used for the
construction of aeroplanes. The en
tire framework, except the propeller
is always of picked spruce. The
Alaska spruce is of a closed grain
and stronger than the spruce of any
other portion of the American con
tinent.—Sentinel.

HOME RANGE
NELCHENA DISTRICT, ALASKA
The U. S. Government reports show that only
$40,000 was actually invested in Siberian Rein
deer which wen brought to Alaska via New
York and Seattle. The last and largest ship
ment was in 1002. The (iovernment reports
now show a clear profit and valuation of over
$4,000,000.
Now our Reindeer are in the Kuskokwim
valley, which means only a short drive to our
Home Range and an unlimited market.
The United States being involved in the
world war, may have a tendency to send meat as
high as wheat, which has increased 300 per cent
in the last year.
The directors of the Matanuska Reindeer
Ranching Co. has closed a contract with Dr. LI. y
O. Sehaleben to assume the entire management jj
of this enterprise. y
Dr. Sehaleben is undoubtedly the best-post- jj
ed man on Reindeer in Alaska, having been in y
charge of the Reindeer industry for the Govern- jj
ment for over five years. y
This company now has money enough to put jj
a herd of Reindeer on its Range. The direct- y
ors have decided to let a few others in at the jj
same price so that the herd will be as large as y
possible. jj
