ALBERT J. SOME, FTBLISHER8,
iumi 47 w. 2stw St., New Y? juc
Several hundred people, citizens of
Ketchikan and vicinity gathered at I
tho hall last evening to listen to Del
egate Jauies Wlckershani talk on Un
political and Industrial conditions of
Alaska.
Mr. Wlckershani spoke <)f the chief
events in Alaska's history in a gov
ernmental way ? the acquisition of a
system of courts in 1884. when Ben
iamln Harrison drew the first organ
ic act for Alaska: the passing of the
Alaska penal code in 1899: and In
h'OO oi the lucrease In the number
of Alaskan courts from one to three
?"?nd the appointing of a governor. He
(?poke of the district of Alaska be
coming the territory of Alaska? a ma '
ler settled by a supreme court ruling
?and defined what constitutes repre
sentative government. In this con
nection he pointed out that Alaska
has two branches? the executive and!
the judicial? and lacks the legislat
ive branch.
He said he is strongly in favor of
congress giving Alaskn a territorial'
legislature with al! the powers that'
i. re conferred upon such a body,
^hen that is obtained, said he, Al
aska will have all it can expect un
til the time comes for it to be a state
with a constitution.
Touching upon the speech of Presi
dent Taft in Seattle opposing home
rule for Alaska, and incidentally
alluding to the telegram signed by
sixteen Alaska newspapers and the
mayors of eight of the principal cities
of this territory. Mr. Wlckershani
said:
"The president turned us down. He
is not in favor of home rule for
Alaska yet because he says the popu
lation is migratory and too small,
and said other things that were dis
appointing to our people. Last spring
be told me practically the same
thing, therefore I was not quite as
disappointed, perhaps, as some of the
rest of you."
Mr. Wlckershani told of his looking
up the populations of the territories
in Washington last spring. He found
that Nevada, with Its congressman
and two senators, has a population of
42.000. counting the Indians, while
Alaska s population, counting its
Indians, is upwards of S0.000.
The president has been systema
tically misinformed about us" he
charged. "He, no doubt, thinks that
we go about with six-shooters
strapped to us, like Alkali Ike? with
,Kum? and cigarettes. The president
has been Industriously misinforms
i When he made his spiel in Seattle,
they raised a fuss about him that he
will not soon forget. He does not.
care about Alaska because Alaska
can't vote; But we have friends In
Washington who can.
>ir Wlckersham spoke of the * al
lous agricultural exhibits which were

Keferrlng to the matter of taW g
the census at this time, the delegate
called it unjust to Alaska and abso u
tely unlawful. Congress had passed

? Vnrll He read section

present illegal census was forced by
the antl home rule people for th
purpose of giving Alaska a blackey.
Mr. Wlckersham had wired tu'

received no reply.

was devoted to a consideration of the
bill for a territorial legislature. ?

HIES SURPRISES COM,
ADVISES INCORPORATION
Mr. Weston Coyney, well known to
the people of Haines and Skagway as
the editor of The Alaskan In the early
days, arrived in Skagway yesterday
from Dawson whore he has been for
the last nine years, the latter part of
j them as the editor of the Dawson
Daily News. The representative of
the Pioneer Press called upon him
and Mr. Coyney said:
"I received your neat little paper
regularly in Dawson and was surprised
to find that Haines had grown to the
dignity of a newspaper, for I must
tell you frankly that I was In several
Haines "booms" in the early days,
? when the surrounding country was
plastered with location notices, and
I concluded that Haines would never
amount to much.
"Plank sidewalks, you say? Well,,
'.hat is going some. I also notice
from your paper that you are apply-'
ing for incorporation, and, of course.
1 suppose that the movement is prac- '
tically unanimous, as it was when
Skgaway made a similar application.,
You may have a few kickers who
are really kicking against their own
Interests, for the kickers, to par
aphrase Scripture, we have always
with us. You ought to cherish them,
as their arguments serve to deepen
the convictions of the rest. Until a
place is Incorporated as a town It Is
merely a place of squatters and af
fords no solid security for invest
ments. There can be no reliablo
scheme of improvements and therefore
no inducement is offered to new
comers no matter how much you
spend in advertising what you be
lieve to be the advantages of the
place."
"What do you think of the Haines
railway project, Mr. Coyney?"
"I believe it will go through, be
cause you now have at the head of
the project a hustler like FWcon Jos
lln. He is the sort of man who
makes things go. I have another
reason for this conviction. What
was known as the Pyramid Harbor
route. It is admitted now that for an
entrance to the interior that this
route, from an engineering point of
view ? or any other point, probably ?
is the most feasible.
"Yes, I am feeling pretty confident
that Joslin will have that line started
pretty soon and will run It straight
to Fairbanks to Join his creek rail
way there. While in Dawson he
spoke to me of the project with some
degree of enthusiasm on the subject,
pointing out the easy grades that
could be obtained for crossing the
two divides and the miles upon miles
of level running." ? Haines Pioneer

"My little girl was born two weeks
btforv her time and my wifo died four
hours niter me
birth of our child
and I had to raise
tho baby on arti
ficial foods. Si*
months after birth
she broko out and
I had two doctors

There was not a

anywhere, and wo had to wrap her in silk
and carry her on a pillow for ten weeks.

her to go to her mama, but thank God
and his agents, she is alive and well
to-day and she will l>e three years old

had a sign of tho dread trouble since.
"I used every known remedy to alle

Dr. B ? ? and he and Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment saved her. He
recommended tho Cuticura Retm-diee,
or said we were right in making use of
them. As nearly as I can remember,
?we used eight cakes <<f Cuticura Soap
and three boxes of Cuticura Ointment;
but you must take into consideration
that hers was an exceptional caso, for
an old and good doctor said that it
was the worst case that had come to him

to give her a pure complexion. .James
