and Daws For House of Representatives
Juneau, Oct. 8 ? The Progressive
Home Rule convention, held in this
city for the purpose of nominating
two senators ami four representa
tives to the Alaska congress from
the First Judicial district, was calU
ed to order yesterday morning.
Emory Valentine, of Juneau, and
H. H. 1-eFevre, of Skagway, were
nominated for the Senate, while
John Reck of Juneau, Martin Ol
son of Douglas, Charles Ingersoll
of Ketchikan and L. P. Dawes of
Wrangell received the nominations
for the House of Representatives.
The platform adopted by the
Home Rule delegates to th? con
vention endorses the eight hour
working law, and demands that only
comne ent engineers be placed in
charge of mine hoists where miners' :
iiv?a nr? i.vpr iii dancer throughout ,
the operation of the hoists.
A plank in the platform declares!
for the right of equal suffrage for
women, and declares for the aboli
tion of the fish traps. It also de- ;
mauds that no tax l>e le\ied against
mining property or prospects other
than 011 improvements in the way j
of buildings or machinery, and de
mands that no tax whatsoever shall
be imposed on mines or improve
ments during the work of develop
ment nor until the property shall
have reached the stage of product- 1
iveness. The platform also de
mands th-it none other than boni
fide residents be allowed to fish and
asks that the minimum tax on !
cased salmon be not less than fif
teen cents per case.
Emory Valentine is one of the
oldest residents of Alaska, and
has been well and favorably known
in Juneau for a number of years,'
having held the position of Mayor
of that city for a number of terms.
He is in the jewelry business.
H. B. LeFevre, the other nom
inee for the Alaska Senate needs no
introduction to the people of Skag
way, nor in fact the entire portion
of Southeastern Alaska, having re
sided here for the past fourteen
years, during which time he held a
position in the early days with the
engineer corps of the White Pass
& Yukon and was later appointed
United States Commissioner and
clerk of the courts for the Skagway
Precinct. . During the last quarter
of a century he has spent much
of- his leisure time in the study of
law, and three years ago was ad
mitted to the bar, passing the ex
aminations with high honors.
Mr. John Reck is one of the
prominent business men of Juneau,
being at the present time the man
ager of the Carstens Packing com
pany, and holds the respect of all
who know him.
Mr. Martin Olson, of Douglas, is
also prominent in business circles
in that town, and has always taken
an active part in the upbuilding and
progress of Alaska.
Mr. Charles Ingersoll, of Ketchi
kan, is one of the most prominent
lawyers of Alaska, and has always
been foremost in Southeastern Al
aska in all matters for the better
ment of the district.
Dr. L. P. Dawes of Wratigell is
engaged in the drug business, and
has been a resident of that city for
a number of years.
There is no question but that the
ticket nominated by the Progressive
Home Rule party is composed of
[ men in whom all Alaskans may
rightfully place the utmost confi
dence, and to whom they may look
j only for legislation which will pive
to Alaska the gieatest amount of
good.

On a complaint made by United
States Deputy Marshal Fred Fonzo
yesterday Fred Schultz, a man who
has been a resident of Skagway for
some* time past, and who has been
employed on the wharf as long
shoreman, was arrested yesterday
.iiid charged with stealing a quan
tity of cabbage from Dr. Hrawand's
garden. When arrested Schultz was
in the act of converting the cabbage
into saner kraut, and upon being
arraigned before United States Com
missioner Martin Conway pleaded
guilty to the charge and his honor
gave the culprit the limit, a fine of
$ 100 and costs or fifty days in the
federal jail. In default of the
cash, Fred will spend the next sev
eral weeks in the prosaic occupation
of cutting wood and other odd Jobs
about the court house, and thus
work up an appetite for the kraut
which will be in its prime when he
gets his di-icharge.
