Gov. tloggat Insults Alaska
(Special Dispatcn to Daily Alaskan.)
Washington, ;D. C., Dec. 14-Gov
Hoggatt, in an official statement here,
says that only the saloon men of Alaska
are in favor of territorial government
for the district. The statement 1b bit
terly resented by Delegate* Prank H.
Waskey and Thomas Cale. They de
clare that a great majority of the peo
ple favor it; that they have made their
position plain, having endorsed it by an
overwhelming majority at the recent
election.
SEWARD CONDEMNS
GOV. HOGGATT
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Seward, Dec. 14? The Seward cham
ber of commerce last night adopted
strong roesolutions endorsing Delegate
Frank II. Waskty and his advocacy of
territorial gocernment for Alassa.
The resolutions severely oriticUe Gov.
Hoggatt, who was roasted .by speakers
in the strongest terms.
A message was sent to Delegate
Waskey this morning conveying the
unqualified endorsement of the chain
ber of commerce and the people of
Seward.
There were no saloon men present.
ALASKA SHOULD
MAKE PROTEST
I Hon. Frank H. Waskry, delegate to
congress, and Hob. Thomas Cale, dele- I
gate-elect, think tbe people of Alaska!
should make a public protest against
the assertion of Gov. Hoggait that only
the saloon element is supporting terri
torial government in Alaska. A tele- j
gram received from Mr. Was key ihis
morning by tbe Daily Aiaskan says:
Hod. Thomas Cale joins me in re
questing the peop'e of Alaska to pro
test publicly against ihe statement of
he governor th.t only ihe saloon ele
nent in the district favors territorial
government.
Seward has already spoken in re
sponse to the request from Alaska's
representative's in congress. The en
dorsements were heartily endorsed and
the governor condemned. Endorse
ments of a similar nature are expected
from Nome, Fairbanks and other places.
Arrangement* will be taken to have
*n expression from the people of Skag
way next week.

POST NEWS
Items of lnterees From Kort
Seward.
(Special Correspondence.)
Fori William II. Seward. Dec. 15?
The past week has been one of the
severest on record this wiDier at the
Post, due largely to the prevailing high
winds. Seven besow zero isthe coldest
temperature recorded. J'he constant
shifting of the scow, together with
the unusually heavy fall has necessi
tated an almost continuous snow
fatigue.
Owing to defects in the chimneys of
the new officers' quarurs the buildings
have not been formally accepted
Captain Cralle.the tfgimi-n'al quarter
m stfr has taken up t> e Imatter with
t ie quartermaster general at Washing
ton and it is hoped that some settle
m-nt may be effected io ttiej near
fu'ure.
Capt Ci leman, and some of the men
of his c >mmand applied for a hunting
leave and s'arted out Thursd'V with
I the intention of br'ng ng in 700 rabbi's,
ta ing uith him a f >ur horse mule turn
to haul <n t' e game hut the mules g t
stalled at~ou'. four miles out and the
I party whs obliged to return. The
r >ad- were utter \ imp --sib e, io places
I th.- >now was fully sevi*n feet deep.
The Post ehup' 1 is undergoing a
thorough rer oration and when com
peted will pp. sent one of the prettiest
lilt-Ie chapels n A ask a The walls are
r-CH'vinj; ? del cat.- tinting, which
? ith the stainm glass . ff. ci will give
the chauel ? s "ft. ?ubdu-d I gbt Chap

numerous gifts for t e chapel recently,
among them are th?j " ? tadons of the
Cross," presenttd by Lew .Varoix,
who until recently has been employed
on the new post bui dings. Mr. Marios
also built a substantial alter rail.
Major and Mrs, Reynolds contributed
a beautiful sanctuary bell, while the
sanctuary lamp is the gift of the en
listed men. The chapel will be com
pleted in time for Christmas mass for
which elaborate preparations are now
under way.
Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Reid braved
the perils and discomforts of Thurs
day's storm on a special trip of the
Peterson to Skagway for the purpose of
purchasing Christmas gifts for the
ohildren of the post. Mrs. Reynolds
reported upon her return that she had
never known the English channel to be
as rough as was the Linn canal on that
trip.
Word has been received that Mrs. j
Dean, wife of Capt. Dean, regimental :
adjutaDt, will not return to Fort Sew-|
ard until spring. Mrs. Dean has many |
warm friends at the po3t who have j
been looking forw?rd to her return \
with the captain who were greatly dis- J
appointed at this change in her plans. 1
Sergeants Frisbie and Ayeres, of the
band have recently taken up quarters
in the Post and have their families
comfortably installed in their new
homes. With one exception all the
non-commissioned officers are now re
siding in the Post.
Beginning on Monday evening next,
following the Y. M. C. A. song service,
which are held in the Post exchange
library, a series of subjects of an
tensely intensely interesting character
will be taken up and discussed. The
first of the subjects to be considered Ik
"Creation." This will be followed in
turn by "Heaven," and "The Devil."
The song serviees, consisting of a se
lection of the most popular bymns,
Interspersed with special music and
short addresses, have proven very pop
ular among the men, and it is believed
that the discussion feature will not only
add to the attractiveness of these
features, but will prove helpful to all.
COLD WAVE COMING
There is another cold wave coming.
It will be here ?oon and you will be
kicking about the cold again. N w,
