Awaiting Governor Clark's
Recommendation Before
Treasury Acts
The politic*! opposition to Juntos
W to ken* hum have been playing a
little game of politic* hv making
underhanded char*** that he was
opposing the establishment of a
sub-port of entry at Fairbanks.
The stor> has gained ground to the
extent that the l*ally Alaskan hns
taken up the matter with Mr. Wlck
??rsham to get his public statement
of the situation and yesterday we
rvceleed the reply which Is printed
below We hIro wired Fairbanks
? or a copy of the resolutions passed
hy the commercial clnb In their at
tempt to secure the establishment
of the sub-)?ort. which Is also re
printed:
It will be noted that Mr. Wicker -
sham is working for the establish
ment of the port, and has pot It tip
to the point where the treasury
department only neeis the recom
mendation of Oorernor Clsrk and I
Collector Wlllts to wake It possible
Washington, July !?? Dally Al
askan I strongly favor the estab
lish ment of * sub-port of entry at
Fairbanks and have Just consulted
\ssistant Secretary Curtis of the
treasury renardlrjc it. Have
mans and data r*qu?cUat
.trthxi.
The tre.ujurv department will
await the approval of Governor
01 ark and Collector of Customs
Willis before results can be ob
tained. James Wtckerwham,
IVlepate from Alaska
Fairbanks. July 19 ? In response
to a reqneat from Wicfcvr
shsm the Fairbanks commercial
club wired the secretary of the
treasury the following resolution
adopted at a recent meeting.
** Resolved: That we most urgent
ly and earnestly request and urge
that Fairbanks be made a sub
port of entry so that the Interests
of the interior of Alaska may have
the benefit of competition in trans
portation, and urge that this is
the most important thing that can
possible 1h- done for the Interest of
our industries, for we are Buffering
more from lihe evils of ?xtorMonate
freight charge* than from all olher
thing* combined."
The following reply was received
lo the Commercial Club'a resolu
tion:
"Washington -Question of creat
ing Fairbanks a sub-port of entry
Is receiving attention Adtlse ?a
of the probable quantity and nature
of imports ."
In respond- the clwb sent the fol
lowing:
"Fairbanks Present average
cross tonnage twenty thousand
gross tons. Foreign importation of
cattle, liquors, perishables, grocer
ies and feed about twelve per cent.
If a sub-port Is established hert the
season woulril be lengthened almost
two months and many beneflte
would accrun to the public through
Improved freight and passenger ser
vice - I ,
If the people of Alaska succeed
in having a sub-port established at
Fairbanks it will mean that the
White Pass railway will extend a
line of boats for the transportation
of freight and passengers to Fair
banks and tt.e Yukon and thus, not
only enter into competition with
the transportation companies of the
Interior, who now hare a merciless
monopoly on that businew, but itj
will mean much to this part of
Alaska in directing business this
way instead of continuing It through
the long hauls by the outside pas
sage. Canadian bottoms could then
laud at Fairbanks Business of the
Interior would be stimulated by
lessened freijfht rates owing to the
shortness of haul and the influences
of competition.
In connection with the above we
want our readers to remember that
James Wickersham is the moving
spirit in this, and It is the mono
polistic transportation companie
who have so long had a death grip
on the freighting of the interior,
that is fighting him at every turn.

SuVi, July IS ? (Special corres
pondence io l?ailv Alaskan.)? This
i-ity is coming into the enjoyment
of the business revival which is be
ing manifested throughout a great
er part or Alaska. One of the
Important causes for activity in Sit
ka is an increase in the fishing in
dustry The mild curing of salmon
being unusually large, many ship-:
ments having been made this spring, j
The supply of king salmon which '
are used mostly for mild curing, has
been plentiful and the prices
good, so that the fishermen are
enjoying prosperity from that
source. Theop fish are slightly
salted and packed in tierces mostly
for shipment to the European mark
et
A larger number of tourists are
stopping off than eter before
Since the Georgia has stopped run
ning into the irarm springs, visitors
to that resort are now coming here.
Politically It seems that Mr.
Wickcrsham will have a larger
vote than he did before.

The catching of a "S pound Mi
llion last Saturday by K. A Willard
furnished about an hours encite- j
n>ent to members of the party!
coming to Skagway to attend the
hearing t?? fore Hon. Kdgar K. Clark
of the Interstate Commerre Com
mission. Mr. Willard I* the of
filcal reporter for Mr Clark and is
?in ardent fisherman.
When about seven miles out
from the old historic town of Fort
Wrangall he attached a salt herring
to a hook and ran out about 76
feet of line The bait had scarcely
got Into action before a salmon
took It and the fun began. It was
a new experience to Willard and
<aused temporary nervousness, bnt
he hung on and began pulling In
Gradually Mr. Fish tired out and
was hauled alongside, where with
the assistance of Mr. M. Kallsh of
the steamship company and his
attorney. Charles F Munday it was
taken on board and weighed, after
wards being served to the ship's
CUests.
The catching of a 78 pound sal
mon is not an unusual thing in Al
aska. but Is a revelation to eastern
? hechacos.
Here is a sample of the way the
Shark Word-Hogg-itt party are try
ing to defame James Wiekersham:
"The Valdei Prospector publish
ed in Monday night's issue that
'Wiekersham stood idly by and let
congress take the tax off salmon.*
In reply to the lying sheet we will
state that Wiekersham was sitting
on the bench as judge and was not
a delegate -from Alaska in 190S
when the salmon tax was taken off."
