JOHN I HEM fit
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR DELEGATE IN C0N6HESS4
John W. Cor-on, atoruey and mining
man of Nome since H>OC am! who has
mining imprest* in southwestern Al
aska, is the regular republican nominee
for delegate in coogress and is making
his campaign on a party and per?onai
platform that pledges him to aupport
these principal:
ALASKA FOB ALASKANS
Corson believes in anil wfll fight for
the principle that Alaskans are capable
of administering their home atfalrs and
will demand an abandonment of the re
pugnant policy of sending carpet-bag
gers to interfere with Alaska alT.irs
HOME RULE FOR TERRITORY
Corson was the fust man to point out
the fact that the ord nance of 1787, pro
mulgated l>efore th>- I'nited States con
stitution, gutranteed uew territory the
right of self-government and h?s made
a strong carupaivn fo: home rule, show
ing clearly at d conc'sely the evils of
congressional government, tht? ability
of Ala*lc?tis to formulate their ow i code
ami the bad faith of congress that with
holds full territorial rights.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
In all his speeches Corson has point
ed out the evil of unrestricted use of
the power of attorney which permits
one man to locate an entire section of
country and hold It for absentees. Co<
??oil's p'edge-i show thai ho will demand
that congress preserve Alaska for the
men who are bulldiug up the" territory.
EIGHT HOURS FOR MINERS
In his own mining operations Corson
has Ion:.' put In effect tho doctrine of
nn i-igh* hour day and fair p'ay toward
minora. Ilis advocacy of an ei^ht hour
day is bised upon practical experience
ami an honest opinion that the miners'
claim Is just.
| HARMONY WITH ADMINISTRATION
Cor>on is the regular republican
nominee, so recognized by national
republican trailers. Beside being In
political harmony with the adwinU
tra ion Corson has a wide acquaintance
with t!ie most p-om nent republican
ruder* in congress and Is at>le through
such acquaintance to call upon his
party trader* for aid a stranger could
not procure, ilia platform, in addlti
tiou to planks enumerated, includes ?
request for government aid In railroad
building in Alaska: the establishment
of m new judicial district In south west
ern Alaska: more light stations and
aids to navigation; furthering work of
road commiss on, mid the application
of serious and hones', attention to Alas
ka's n eds and the territory's develops

with a number of fans went down on
tho Hegg yesterday. A lino day at
Haines and an euthubiastlr. crowit that,
in tho unexpected llnlsh, wont wild o.i
one side and mad on the other, is re
ported. Tho followine rather somb r
report of the game is furnished by an |
A. B. sympathiser:
With tne gamo almost tucked away J
the Skagway A. B.'s wont up In the air
in tho ninth inning and lost to tho Ft.
Se'vard soldiers by a scoro of 6 to .'1. j
Opett pitching for the soldiers? pltchul '
a splendid game? holding tho Skagway -
Ites down to live well scattered hits. ?
Olson and Ainundson, the battery for |
the A. B.'s with the splendid support of
tho team, shut the soldiers out for
elx'iu innings, allowing only two hit*,'
Throe to nothing wu the score at the
finish ot the elithth round when, In the
fateful) ninth, the locals went to pieces
and six runs were chalked up to the
soldier*' credit. A blofflo fumbled by
?econd started the ruction In the ninth
and by the tiuio the smoke of battle h d
cleared away Ft. Seward had crossed
tho plato six t i tin h wl ilo Skagwar hud

Ring Worth $150 In Bass.
Editor William H. Bartels Catches the Most Valuable Fish Ever
Taken From Delavan Lake.
William H Kirtels, 3-4.1 Warren ave
nue, Chicago, editor of a dally trade
paper, caught a black bass In Doluvun
lake a few days ago weighing four
pounds aud worth $150,
This Is uot a "llsh story." It's true.
The bass had a big solitaire diamond
ring !n *ts stomach.
Mr. Kartell rowed to his favorite
llshing grouud on the shores of a wood
ed bay at the northern end of the lake
early in the morning. He angled ?or
hours with line success. When he was
preparing to haul in his anchor and
ftart for the hotel bo got a bite that
net his reel singing merrily. For a half
hour he played the flsh and at last
when he had tired It out landed It
neutly with his dlpnet. The fish was
what a Pelavan Walton would have
railed a beauty, it made twenty-two
(>:im taken by Mr. Battels In his mom
log's cntch. Tills incidentally was tho
son son's roconl string.
When ln> rot n rued to the bont house
Mr. lSartol< tossed the tlsh to Roatinan
Keating with Instructions to clean
them. As the boatman cut open the
hi}; bass n glittering object fell out
upon the ground. Keating picked it up
to see wlint It was. He was astonished
to find a dlatnoud ring.
The gold was tarnished, but the dia
mond had lost none of Its brilliancy.
It was a stone of the first water. How
many years It had wasted Its luster la
the fish's stomach will never be known.
\\ bother some visitor to l>elavan lake
dropped the ring by accident Into the
water or whether the monster bass
snapped It from some dead man's lin
ger Is n mystery which may be solved
later. Mr. Bartels left the ring at bis
hotel at the hike, thinking probably Its
former owner might be able to estab
lish his claim to It
