Judge Gunnison Issues Call
For Election Conference
Judge Gunnison has called the United
States court commissioners, who are
ex-tfficio recorders, to meet at Skag
way June 12 for the purpose of arrang
ing a uniform method of conducting the
coming election for delegate to con
gress. He has invited the governor
and the various municipal councils to
be present at this meeting, and he says
the governor has accepted the invita
tion.
The law provides that the delimita
tion of voting precincts outside of the
corporate limits of towns and the ap
pointment of election officers for them
shall be made by these United States
commissioners while inside the corpor
ate limits of towns the elections are
given over to the charge of the city
councils.
In his circular letter to United States
court commissioners, Judge,, Gunnison
says:
An examination of the Alaska dele
gate act recently approved by the
President discloses the fact that upon
those United States commissioners who
are ex-officio recorders devolve numer
ous duties relative to the election pro
vided for by this act. From the tact
that this is the first general election
which has ever taken place in Alaska,
it is plain that there may be consider
able confusion and not a little lack of
uniformity in preparation for the elec
tion by the recorders, unless it will be
possible for those having the matter in
charge to meet at some central point
and confer upon the subject. It it for
the best interest of the people of the
first division of the District of Alaska
that the arrangements for this first
election be made with great care and
with as much uniformity as possible.
For that reason I have determined to
request the United States Commission
ers who are ex-officio recorders in this
division to meet with me during the i
second week of the month of June at !
Skagwav for the purpose of a confer- ;
enco on the matters of the election." \
In his letter to the various municipal
mayors Judge Gunnison among other
things, says:
"It is of the utmost importance to ,
the people of Alaska that this election ;
be conducted with great care and fair
ness, and the lack of uniformity in the
preliminary arrangements thereof will
do much to confuse matters and render
a speedy count and early return to the j
canvassing board difficult. * *
"We should use the utmost care in
arranging for this first election, as
many precedents will be established
and care taken at this time will save
much time in the future in straighten
ing out tangles. With this in view I
have requested the United States Com
missioners, who are ex-officio record
ers and therefore under the statute
have the fixing of the election pre
cincts and making of the preliminary
arrangements outside of incorporated
towns, to meet at Skagway on June 12th
in order that we may have a conference
upon this subject and arrange for uni
form practice in the preparation for
and conduct of the election. * * *
"It has occurred to me that it would
be extremely advantageous if the Com
mon Couucil of your city could be rep
resented at this meeting by one of its
members.
"I have advised Governor Hoggatt of
my action in this matter and have in
vited him to be present during the con
ference. He has consented to come
and I am sure that the meeting will be
fraught with much good to the electors
of this Division."

Telegraph Operator*'
Telegraph operators always have per
lonal signs which they place on all mes
sages they send or receive. Usually
they use two of their initials or take
two letters from their names. For In
stance. James Black will probably use
"JB" as his sign. In many cases, how
ever, they choose their signs in peculiar
ways.
"We once kad a man working here
who signed 'KE' because he had taken
the Keeley cure," said a Kansas City
chief operator. "lie afterward went
back to drinking and then used 'BZ,'
deriving It from 'booze.' Another fel
low signed 'PS' because he used to say
i he received a poor salary. A woman
operator we had here used to sign
I 'IIK,' her initials, until one day her
| beau Jilted her and married another
J girl. After that she signed 'BII,' which,
! we understood, meant 'broken heart.'
[ In an eastern office where I once work
' ed there was a hoodoo sigu. It was
' 'KQ.' The first man who used it there
was killed by a train, the next one
went crazy and the third died of ty
phoid fever. After that nobody in th<
office dared use the hoodoo sigu. The
stoiy about its being a Jonah traveled
over the country, and today you'll tind
very few operators slgulng 'KQ.' "
American Kxubcraucc.
A prominent English statesman whc
visited this country a few years ago
was talking with friends about the na
tional characteristics of Americans and
gave It as his opinion that the western
er is the most truly humorous of the
citizens of the United States.
"Why," said the Briton in explana
tion, "a relative of mine who frequent
ly visits the States for purposes of
sport tells me that he wa3 entranced
by the reply made to him by the pro
prietor of a hotel in Nebraska when he
asked If there -were any <]uail In the
vicinity.
" 'Quail:' exclaimed the proprietor.
'I should say so! Why, they've got to
be a regular nuisance round here. My.
cook complains that she 'can't throw n
piece of toast out of the window with
out four or five fat quail fighting to see
which shall get on it!' " ? Woman's

The Antiquity of Football.
If It Is uot the oldest game in the
world football Is not far from it But
It has never been a game in which puny
nations played. The Greek game was
originally called pheuinda, or feinting,
later It was called episkyrus, epikoinos,
and lastly harpaston, under which
name it came to resemble football. The
Roman game was follis and was less
rough. There was a center runner In
harpaston, around whom the game was
fought out. One side was given the
ball; the other side chose a center. The
side with the ball stood some distance
back from a line on which the center
runner was posted, 'and at signal the
ball was thrown past the middle man.
Players could be held back from secur
ing the ball in any way, though the
Greek youths had no rush formation,
never seeming to have learned the val-j
ne of team work.? Outing.
