JAMES WICKERSHAM
When the fire bell rsng last
evening and * ord was pasxni aroan
that a man s life was ia danger, a
hundred tnea immediately respond
ed and volunteered to place their
lives in e*}Bal damper to aid a fal
low being ia distress They show
ed the start that is at the bottom
of every human heart. When im
portant events rv^uire acnion. men
are there to meet it. We may
crow 1 around among ourselves,
poli t to and petty jealousies may
estrange friends or mn divide
commaaities, b?i wher. the big
deeds of life are to he performed,
men become brothers and work
atde by side in performing a gen
eral good.
Disasters invariably show
that they are bless;r.gs ia dis
guise . The greatest characters!
that any of us are familiar with
have usually been prodaeed by mis
fortane and calamity. The ros>
path of dalliance is not prodnctive
of moral strength Kase Is ener
vating
When that cry went forth that
a aran was ia danger, we forgot
oar littleness There was bat one
though; and th.\t was to do good
Nobody dre*n.ed o or back
biting or the small differences th.it
pa rate people when life is ham
Make it uitanimoas
Wicker-sham did what Alaskans
told him to do- trot that Nil pajseu
S**?d him back to congress and
have him get sotnethiag etee Make'
it unanimous
Jennings democrats are holding
meetings and asking Hamk to re
sign Harrais democrats are fold
ing meetings and asking Jennings
to resign They have splendid
argamerts on either side.
The battle for home rwle is only
partially *-ov. tt is a great vic
tory so far as it goes. bat it is
oar plain dag? ao? to make it go
farther. This territory is entitled
to everything that every other ter
ritory has been entitled to in the
?.vst. a;.d the i*ople of Alaska will
.'.ever stop striving until they enjoy
every full and unhampered right
that the constitution guarantees.
The same methods that enabled
us to secure the present home rule
hill must be used to secure Added
concession from congress ? that is
by persistently demanding through
our delegate the blessings of un
limited free government. From the
victories he has achieved in the
past .Tames Wi<fc>rsham is logical
ly the only man to be entrusted
with securing victories for the fu
ture His re-election is now un
questioned. but he should be sent
back to ongress by a unanimous
vote. A vote that will not only be
an assurance that Alaska will stop
.?t not hint but absolute autonomy,
but will serve as an influence to
the members of congress who have
listened to the petitions rresonted
by our delegate.
The knowledge that he in right
and that he has the undivided Bup
pon of tbe Alaska people Is a
potent fore? to aecuring result#.
Wlckerthatn with a unanimous vote
can go back to congress and show
them that we are one and undivid
ed In our demands With this
great force back of him the mem
bers of congress will be slow to
deny us our Just deserts.
For our own good, and for the
good of our children and the gen
erations that are to follow, let ?s
make the re-election of James Wlck
ersham unanimous.

According to the Fairbanks Daily
News-Miner Major J. F. A. Strong

that Ruby is his objective.
Ueutenant Kdgerton, of the Al
aska road commission, who visited
Mitarod last year, is back in Alas
ka. He will remain for the sum-!

The Alaska Northern is now run j
ning its motors 49 miles out of
Seward
Fred Heillg, formerly of the i
Fairbanks Times, is now bookkeep- j
?r for Barney Sand strom at Olnes
Jack I.ee. the well known Cana- j
dian explorer, vho arrived In Sew
ard on the Dora this morning from
;he westward, states to the Gate-!
way that the recent volcanic erup- j
tion that has been credited to Mt. I
Katmai. did not occur at Katmai at
all, but the mountain that caused
all of fie trouble was Mt. Seven
osky, situated about eight miles
from Kntmai. The explosion of
Se\ enosky caused the hot springs
on Katmai to blow up, which ac
counts for the clouds of white
steam, mistaken for smoke and
ashes by observers, while the rain
of ashes, pumic stone, and dust all
came from Sevenosky. Mr. I?ee
was at Coal Bay at the time of the
eruption, and since has visited Kat
mai in order to make a careful
study of the cause and effect of the
eruption.
While In Seward, Capt. McQuil
lan, of the McArthur, established a
jrorornmeiit station on the dork of
the Seward Dock company for the
measuring of tides, says the Gate
way. The new station Is equipped
with the latest appliances In a
mechanical way for the automatic
measuring of the rise and fall of1
the tides. Tidal conditions are reg
istered on a sheet of paper each
hour, and as often as the McArthur
Is in port they will be taken down
and made part of the records of the
ship. A careful record is kept and !
published in book form for the
use of navigators and fishermen, 1
and may be obtained from the j
bureau of commerce and labor at
any time Heretofore the only
records of tidal conditions avail
able for this section were the
records of the tides taken at a
similar station maintained by the
government at Kodlak, and as tidal
conditions vary between the two
points, they were not reliable.
