UNSOUGHT HONORS
The Juneau Record, in reply to an
article in which The Alaskan took ex
ceptions to the actions of its patron,
governor Hoggatt, says in reply:
"Now probably the man in all Alaska
the mew: unfamiliar with Alaska condi
tion! i- the editor of the Skagway Alas
kan. being a new arrival in the terri
tory. However, he appears to be a
bright, genial fallow, anil we are not
prone to class hiai in the 'reptile' class
as he does ua.
"The Alaskan falls into the same
error concerning Governor Uoggatt's
'omnipotence' that the other papers
? busing bitu do when it discusses ter
ritorial government from the stand
point that Governor Hoggatt is the rep
resentative of the people of Alaska, in
stead of the representative of the fed
eral government in Alaska. The law
Biases it his chief duty to 'represent
tbe interests of the 1 uited States in
Aisska. As such agent of the govern
ment be is all powerful. If jou don't
believe it, try it."
The Alaskan man must needs plead
he has cot been in Alaska long, but,
prav, is it necessary to live forever in
this country to be able to tell r.ght from
wrong'.' Is a man not capable of know
ing an outrage if he meets it in the
middle of the road? If Governor Hog
gatt is here "to represent the interests
of the I'nited States" why then does be
attempt to speak for the people who
wili have none of bimV
The bestowal of the honor of being
tne person in Alaska most unfamiliar
*:th Alaska conditions upon the writer
exemplifies anew that "some men are
oom great, others achieve greatness
and others have greatness thrust upon
them."
THE REPUBLICAN CALL
Politics are warming up at Fairbanks.
The Fairbanks Times, evidently work
ing with a faction who ws?nt to take
map ,udgmer.t, wiring to Secretary
Spickett, ot the territorial committee,
to appoint someone to call the prima
ries. Spickett sent word for twenty
prominant republicans to call a mass
meetiog to arrange for the primaries
acd to fight it out on the square deal
plan without interference from the ter
ritorial committee ? Juneau Dispatch.
While no one has done any wiring
from thi? city nevertheless it appears
impossible to tell just who is to call the
convention primaries which should be
head here to select delegates to the con
vention In Juneau. The call issued for
the convention was. in the fir*t place,
unfair in the apportionment of dele
gates, was not anything along "the
square deal line," and, on top of that,
it is so ambiguous that head or tail
cannot be made out of it. If those who
got it up had used a little judgment in
setting forth waat the call was to In
clude, the sending of telegram* would
not have been necessary.
NO DANGER
They say that Governor Hoggatt it
iteetiog with a cold reception Id Fair
Daoss. Come to think of it, it would
not be amiss for people throughout the
nates to ease up a little Id the matter
of hurrah over the comiugs and goiDgs
of the country's officials. Too much of
such a thing might breed ao epidemic
of Insiacerity.? Rampart N'ew?.
However, The News can rest assured
that the demonstrations ma>!e by Alas
lea people over the arrival of Gover
nor Hoggatt will never be the cause of
setting the world a bad example, but
that much could no: be said about a
demonstration which woul 1 take place
over his final going.
The Kecord-Miner of Juneau is do
more? the name of that excellent paper
having been chaoged to the Daily
Record. If the paper would now only
get wise and change its editorial advo
cacy of a bad cause and get in touch
with the common people, It -?ould be
doing the territory and itself a whole
lot of good.

THE REASON
The closing down of the Guggenheim
operations at r>aw>.jn has thrown 2-400
men out of employment. The flurry in
money circle* is said to be not refpon -
sible for the close down, which is at
tri'juted to the inability of the company
to secure material far carrying on the
work of construction.
SCALY ERUPTIONS
COVERED HIS BODY
?
Itched Constantly? Scratched Until
Blood Flowed ? Suffered 10 Years
?Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When I was about nine rears old
?mall sores appeared on i-ach ,.f my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and
shortly aft?-rwurds
both of those limbs
became so son- 1 hat
I could scarcely
walk. When 1 had
Nvn suffering for
about a month the
sores began :o heal,
but small sen ly
eruptions appeaml
where the sores had
been. From that
time onward 1 was
troubled by such
seven- itching that,
until 1 became
accustoms! to it. 1 would scratch the
sores until the blood Ivgan to flow.
This would stop the itching for a few
days; but scaly places would iipi>?ar
again and the itching would acof.mpany
them. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time hat! appeared
face and hands. The best doctor in my
native county advise*! me to use arsenic
in small dos-^s and a salve. I th-"i n-.sl
to bathe the sores in a mixtun1 wluoh
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi
tion 1 used other remedies, such a- iodine,
sulphur, zinc salve, 's Salve,
Ointment, and in fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
never using less than one or two bore* or
bottles. All this was fruitl.-ss. Finally
my hair began tofall out and 1 was rapidly
b?voming bald. I used '> .
but it did no g-vxl. A few mont lis after,
having used almost everything else, I
having previously u-.-d Cuticura Soap
and being pleased with it. After u.-ing
three boxes I was completely cured,
and ray hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
at least t-r>0 to $r.o in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. 1 shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested In
mv cure. B. Hiram Mattinglv. Ver
