JAMES WICKERSHAM
Whew you he:.r anyone criticis
inc James Wtckersham for not se
curing the many reforms th tl are
i>e?xi?M in Alaska, rem put it right
down that the critic t* a member
of the saiw party that has always
fought wm reform that Mr. Wick -
ersham or anyone e'se has ever j
tried to make in Alaska
Who says W ickersham has fail
ed? It is the federal office holders
together with Shackleford and his
followers Every concern that has
exploited and is trying to exploit
Alaska of her fish, coal and. other
forms of natural wealth, are sav
in* that Wickersham has failed
We tell you that If Wickersham
?ever g*?ts a bill through congress
that we want, hv will prevent any
one getting one 'hrough that we
don't want 1
Had it not been for James Wick
ersham. Alaska today would be un
der the government of a perpetual
commission appointed by Taft and
recruited front the ranks of broken
down politicians who wanted a job
Who was it that fought that ap
pointive commission proposition and
forced its retirement * Was it Gll
more? Was it any of the mar- '
shals. deputy marshals or the Rov
er* or? It was James Wickersham.
and you ki?? it.
It is not so mack for what James ,
Wickersham has tried to accomplish
and is accomplishing, that the Daily
Alaskan is supporting him. but it
is for what he has prevented gang
sters from accomplishing, that calls
out admiration and cheers You who
are living in Alaska today can thank
tJod and James Wlckersham that
you are not being ruled h> double
the number of carpet baggers that
are now blighting th# district by
fighting every measure of home rule
favorable to your own interests
It is a ptrny mind that *Hl ac
cept a government Job at the sacri
fice of manhood That wiH sell its
birth-right for a mw? of political
pottage
A people that is so low dow n in
the **10 of self respect that It
would delegate its powers of govern
merit to imported rulers, is pitiable
indeed.
When anyone tells you that Jamss
Wickersham rail do nothing In con
gress. tell him that It is not Wick
ersham that needs changing, but
con (cress
If congress is wrong, would it
not be criminal to serd Gilmore
there to help perpetrate that wrong?
It would be simply piling up one
wrong nr>on another to have a crea
ture of Shackleford's advising the
nation's lawmakers against grant
ing our demands for self govern
ment.
Not only has Mr. Wickersham
prevented the enactment of hostile |
measures, but he has secured the ;
passage through the lower house of
the home rule bill and it now only j
awaits the action of the senate, j
whose committee has reported favor
ably upon it He has stuck by Al
aska all the time and Alaska will
not desert him now.

II MERRY CLIP
Willis Boone, who left ftakgway
? few weeks ago for a mush over
the road to Whltehors*. kept a di
ary of his trip which ho ha* sent
to" the Dally Alaska*. u shows Wil
lis to be something of an obearvor
and will be interesting, especially to
his young friends here.
??Taking a small pack of neces
sary things I started, leaving Skag
wnv In the morning, going as far
as White Tass city where I slopped
for about an hour. Then I took
the Bracket t wagon road, as It
makes It shorter by two or throe
miles This part of the mush 1 did
not notice much as the road winds
In and out along the river and
keeps one In expectation of seeing
something else At the steel bridge
I took the track again and saw a
few ptarmigan - which were seem
ingly unafraid i
A little way beyond F razor I J
stopped for the night in an old lot
shack, sleeping on a bench, so it (
is not necessary to aay l woke up .
Quite early next morning, and after
walking pretty briskly for about
three hours. 1 reached Bennett
Between Fraior and Bennett the
country Is more or less wet and
swampy.
After leaving Bennett there is
not much of Interest, as the lake Is
on one side and clirfs on the oili
er. However. 1 >?y do* n beside
the track at about noon and went
to sleep, a* the sun was very hot
Iteing awakened from my sloop by
a passing train At two o'clock. 1
started on for Caribou The scen
ery beTng about the same 1 stop
ped aba.it half a mile outside of
Caribou for the night. Building a ,
fire I lav down and went to sleep. |
However I woke about three o'clock
next morning to find that. the fire
was out and 1 was lying where the
fire ought to be.
From there on the country is not
rough, there being a bit or f?*t
country where there was plenty of
grass and trees, which looked more j
promising There were plenty of
gophers and rabbits which bound
ed Into the woods at my approach
1 stopped to eat my lunch and
the gophers being attracted by the
bread soon came quite dose, one
being bold enough to come within
a few feet, but I moved a little
and he ran off but soon camo bark
smelling of my pack . and thinking
it was safe, he began eating some
bread which 1 had laid out for him.
After eating a few minutes, he tum
bled the bread a few feet off, then
ran away, but came back and tack
led it with more eagerness. Then
another one came up and being the
larger took possession of the bread,
eating a few ininutes then running
a*ay The smaller one came back
and began eating again. ?o 1
thought that he was a natural hog,
but 1 soon discovered that the>
filled a bag under their jaw. then
emptied it when they ran away, com
ing back to fill It again.
But watching gophers was
not getting over the road, so 1
started on and was within about t*>
miles of Wh'.tehorse at sun down
At that distance I could see the
smoke and clouds which wort .1
golden hue. at the place where 1
thought Whltehorse ought to bo
but 1 did not get there until about
one o'clock In the night, as it was
farther off than it looked
It took me Just 66 hours to make
the mush whlhc is less than three
davs 1 am glad to say that it has
been a pleasure to mo and I was,
as fr?*h when I got there as when
