If late dispatches from Washington!
are true, the Governor of Alaska has
crossed swords with Ihe authorized
represeutatiAe of 'he territory and is
^ contesting with hin- the questions to i
come before congress. Mr. Hoggatt I
has his dutie> to perform as governor'
of this great territory, that, if welli
performed, will prove a burdensome
task for joe lone man We are loth to
be lieve that ife will forget that he holds |
his position simply by appointment as |
against Mr. Wasaey, whj was elected i
by the v.uers of Aia-ka. We believe i
that Gov. Hoggatt Has too much good |
?crse to stand between the people of
( .ska and the accomplishment of their '
Vurpose, when that purpose is the up- j
building of Alaska.
