MAJOR STRONG OH ALASKA
To the Seattle Times reporter Ma
jor Strong, of Katalla. mentioned as
a probable democratic candidate for
delegate to Congress said:
"I have not announced myself as a
candidate for Congress from Alaska,
nor have I said I would not be a
candidate," says Major Strong. "I
do not know at present what I will
do. There undoubtedly will be four
candidates in the field. I understand
that William O'Connor, of Fairbanks,
is slated for nomination on the Labor
ticket and that J. C. McBride, of Jun
eau, is a strong prospect on the Re
publican ticket. I believe Wicker
sham will be a candidate for re-elec
tion on the Independent ticket. 1
don't believe he could get the repub
lican nomination.
"Lack of unity among Alaskans and
airing of prsonal troubles at Wash
ington among men who represent
Alaska, or pretend to represent the
country, is responsible for lack of
proper development of the Northland.
Though I would not presume to pass
upon the merits of the fight between
Wickershaw and former Governor W.
1$. Hoggatt. of Alaska. I know that
such internecine troubles tend to in
jure the country. The territory at
large is not interested in personal
troubles of Alaskans and it shouldn't
be. We must have harmony among
Alaskans at Washington and elsewhere
in order to develop the country. If
they mus* fight let them do their
fighting at home.
"I greatly regret the result of an
alleged investigation of the coal situa
tion by agents of the Department of
the Interior. I am referring to Mr.
Glavis. It is deplorable that he
should attempt to make Judge Bal
linger a crook in the eyes of the peo
ple. in which he will fail. I also re
gret that he was apparently more
eager to discover a mare's nest than
give a square deal to men who have
honestly complied with entry laws in
liking up Alaska coal land."
0LD-FASHI8NED
Representative Sulaer is somewhat
old-fashioned. When he went to
school, America was a republic, and
the histories he studied sputtered in
dignation whenever oppression of a
free people, or government without
representation was mentioned. Since
then, the flag of a republic has ex
tended into the flag of an empire, and
the constitution has expanded with it.
Since the Federal government has be
come so busy shooting civilization in
to benighted natives in different and
distant parts of the world, and ben
evolently assimilating the survivors,
the habits of empire have grown in
ward. and the federal idea of govern
ment is becoming ingrained. Local
rights may have furnished a noble
battle cry once upon a time, but the
world moves; government can be man
ased so much more neatly and scien
tifically by trained experts sent out
by the central government. When
Alaskan & object to being ruled by
mandarins, it simply goes to show
how much out of touch with national
movements they have been since they
left the States.? Fairbanks Times.

WIDTH OF A RIVER.
>.i lo unt'.''oi7 to ;:s? csly o
the eyes ami the brim of a hat to
measure the width of any ordinary
stream or even of a good sized river,
and here is the way to do it:
Select a part of the river bank where
the grouud^ run back level behind
you and. standing at the water's edge,
fix your eyes ou the opposite bank.
Now move your hat down over your
brow until the edge of ilie brim is
exactly on a line with the water line
on the other side. This will give you
a visual angle that may be used on
any level surface, and if. as has been
suggested, the grouud ou your side of
the river l>e flat you may "lay off" a
corresponding distance ou it. To do
this you have ouly to hold your head
perfectly steady, after getting the an
gle with your hat brim, supporting
your chtu with your baud if neces
sary and turn slowly around until your
back Is toward the river. Now, take
careful note of where your hat brim
cuts the level surface of the ground
as you look over the latter, and from
where you stand to that polut will be
the width of the river, a distance that
may readily be measured by stepping.
If you are careful in all these de
tails you can come within a few feet
of the river's width.
