Judge A. V. R. Snyder removed from U. S. Commis
sionership at Wrangell because his paper's opinions
are not satisfactory to Alaska's czarlike governor
Et is an offense the penalty for which
is removal from office for a public offi
cial to criticise Got. Hoggatt In Alaska.
For that Major A. V.R, Snyder, United
States commissioner At Wrangell has
been divested of bis official position as
United States commissioner. It is true
the offense which Major Snyder com
mitted included a criticism o( the action
of the Unit;d States marshal in getting
the troops out at the time of the Tiead
wcll strike, but the reference was
veiled.
Major Snyder and bis son own a news
paper, the S.'ntlnel, which they publish
ut VVrangell. At the request of the
people of their town. Major Snyder
was appointed United States .commis
sioner for that place by J'idge Gunnison
about two years ago. He filled the
position acceptably, so far as known,
to the prople of his community.1 At
least the complaint which resulted in
his removal was not from his towns
people.
The "crime" committed by Major
Snyder was the appearance of the
followiug i'ern in the Sentinel of April
25th:
"Governor Uoggatt has returned to
Alaska after a season of knocking
against Alaska's interests at the nation
al capital together with corporation
cats paws.
"He could aot longer endure t?J re
main away from bis 'ideal govern
menl' which permits corporations to
force upon their employes to eat swill
and upholds snch inhuman treatment
by calling out the military of the coun
try in which all men are supposed to
be free arid equal. Ideal government.
Political rot."
On May 2d, Gov. Hoggatt, writing
in his official ^capacity, addressed the
following letter to Judge Wickersham:
"I have the honor to call your atten
tion to a marked article on page one of
the enclosed copy of the Alaska Senti
nel of date of April, 1907. This paper
is published by A*. V. R. Snyder <& Son,
at WrangeH, and Mr. A. Vj'U. Snyder,
one of the publishers, is United
States Commissioner at Wrangell.
''From this article it would seem that
Commissioner Snyder does not believe
in maintaining law and order in this
territory and would probably fail in the
proper efforts In this direction should
occasion warrant. X have therefore to
request that he be removed from office
and another commissioner appointed
who has a proper idea of the duties of a
public officer. "
Judge Wickersham referred the
letter to Judge Gunnison, who is at Fair
banks, and Judge Gunnison asked for
an explanation from Judge Snyder.
The latter did not respond in a manner
that was satisfactory to the powers that
be and the order removing him from
office was entered.
PROPOSITION NOW IS TO
LCASt WATfRWORKS
The water-works and tbe electric
lighting question has resolved itself
into a proposition for the city to lease
the plants of the Northwest Light &
Power Compmy for a term of years
witU the option to purchase I hem at
the city's pleasure at a stipulated sum.
The water-works committee, to which
was referred the offer'"of the company
to sell tbe plant to the city at $25,000,
bas decided that it is out of the ques
tion for tbe rauoicipa[ty to purchase,
for the reason that it has no money nor
has the council authority to create so
large at) .indebtedness as would bo re
quired.
The details of a lease proposition I
have not been decided upon, nor has i1 !
been fully determined that the parties:
can agree up n a contract that would
be satisfactory to the council on the
one hand aid the company on the other.
However, the geaeral plan is to lease
the water-works i>nd electric lighting
plant for a definite number of years at a
certain sum per year, which sum shou'd
apply on the purchase price should the
city elect to buy the plants at any time
For instance, it has been suggested that
the lease run for five ve*rs at $5,000
peryear. the properties to become the
city's whenever the sura of f-">,00
shall have been paid in annual
, rentals or in a lump ?um.
