WICKERSKAM ON THE EVIL
OF THE ASSOCIATED CLAIMS;
The brevity of the time which Judge
Wickersham has had in which to pre
sent his cause before the people has
prevented his visiting southeastern Al
aska and shaking for himself face to
face with the people. It is fortunate
therefore that The Alaskan has at band
a copy of the Fairbanks Tilbune con
taining a report of the meeting at
which Judge Wickersham first an
nounced, in the form of an address, the
doctrine for which he stands: elaborated
the planks of the platform already
printed. At that meeting, speaking of
the unfairness of the law regarding as
sociation claims, ho said:
"It is a dishonest preference against
the single miner, the owner of a 20 acre
claim, to compel him to do 5100 worth
of work on his claim, and require the
association mine owner to do$100 worth
of work and no more upon his eight
claim.-*. And I pledge you my word that
I will assist in remedying that evil."
With regard to a law limiting the
use of powers of attorney Judge Wick
ersh.tm said he heartily favored such
legislation, but thought the correction
cf the association claim evil would also
limit the evil worked by the power of
attorney.
As to tbe necessity of a mines regula
tion act Judge Wickersham said:
"In every state and territory in the
United States except in Alaska they
have a mines regulation act, and in
every sate and territory where they
do mlnin? they have a mining inspector.
In every mine wh-re men are killed
and maimed for life, as ha> frequently
occurred in mines here, there ought to
be some man who can go there and say:
'This matter ought to be corrected, and
you shall not put men in these drifts or
in tint place where their lives are in
jeopirdy until they are made safe." We
all know how m?ny mea have been in
jured in the mines here, and it will be
better for everybody to have a mining
Inspector, and I heartily favor It, That
is a specific matter."
GEORGE KOSTROMETtNOFF, SITKA
Mr. George Kostrometiocff, whose
5Uh birth day was noted a few days
ago, when the people of Sitka showered
telegrams of congratulations and good
will upon him here, has qualities teas. ;
distinguish hiui and which, though
well knowo, it is well to rtcite every
so often Iti l h e first place, o4 years
df ago though he be, he i9 a native of
Sitka? born right there iu that pretty
little berg. He is, attain, one of the
ve-y few living wilt. esses to the trans
fer of this big district from the domin
ion of the czar to that of Uncle Sain?
1867, By reason of bis birth before the
t-an?fer, it was a matter of choice
with him whether he should remain a
subject of the c/.ar or accept American
c tiz nship at the t'me of the transfer
a. id he chose Uncle Sam. He was
ofTered a consulship under the czar but
acceptance necessitated his renouncing
allegiance to the United States and he
declined. But be held to the Russian
church to which he was bred and fur 22
years has bee-i warden of St. Michael's
at Sitka and as such custodian of the
church properly. A year ago last
Christmas be received direct from the
czir a testimonial of appreciation of
this faithful stewardship in the form of
loving cup made of si'ver. Itisadls

Eczema Began When a Tiny Baby
and Lasted 7 Years.? Tore'C rusts
from Face Til' It was All Raw
Screamed with Pain and Could not
Sleep? Though Specialists Failed
CUT1CURA EFFECTED
A WONDERFUL CURE
"When mv little boy was six weeks
old an eruption broke out on hia face.
X took nun t<> a uoc
tor anil got ointments
and medicines but his
faco kept on Rotting
worse until it got so
bad that no one could
look at him. His
wholo face was one
crust anil must havo
boon very painful.
Ho scratched ilay and
night until his face
sometimes looked liko
a raw piece of meat.
I was nearly insane
with his scratching
day and night. Then 1 took him to
nil' tha best specialists in skin diseases
but they could not do much for hiin.
Ho sometimes screamed with pain
when I put on the salve they gave me.
"When he to two years old the
eczema got on his nrms and legs so
that I had to keep them-bandagi-d up
and I made gloves for his hands so the
nails could not poison him worse. We
could not get a night's sleep in months
and mv husband and 1 were all broken
up. Then my mother asked why I
did not give up the doctors and "try
Cuticura. So I got a set and he felt
relieved the first time I used them,
the Cuticura Ointment felt so cool.
He used to. wake up and ask for Cuti
cura to bo put on when he itched so
badly that he could not sleep, and he
would say. 'Oh! Mama, that makes
my sort's feel so good!' I fi'ave the
Cuticura Remedies a good trial and
gradually the eczema healed all up
and now he is as well as any other chil
dren. He is now seven years old and
the cure hai lasted two "months, so I
think it will never return. 1 can't
tell you how glad 1 uin that Cuticura
did such wonderful ork in our case
and I shall recommend it everywhere.
