The Juneau Di?p*tch recently ob
tained from Governor W. B. Hoggatt
an interview and afterwards published
the following:
"Goternor W. B. Hoggatt is firm in
the opinion that the press of Alsaka is
purpowlv misquoting his expressions
on public question ? ejecting the wel
fare of the disTict and acting nearly at
a unit in further1 ng a conspiracy to
undermine his standing uefore the
paop'.e of the xieat district over wbloh
he administers as executive.
"Stat ting at Dawson, the governor
made a speech. This speech was mis
quoted and butchered up by the Fair
banks paper* until it did In no wise
express the sentiment of the governor.
The result wt.s a very unfair oritlcism
of ins governor by the Fairbanks
Times. The Fairbanks News request
ed ao interview. This t?s secured on
the promise to reduce the same to
writing and a proof submitted before it
appesred in print. When this inter
vis w appeared in print one portion of
li h?d been omitted, thereby placing
the governor in the wrong lighi. Ex
tracts of this interview were forwarded
by wire to Nome and the s\aie tac
tics continued through the trip. At
Seattle the P. -I. put on the finishing
touches."
Now this newspaper wants to go on
recoru before it has heard anything from
my of the inside papers a* being of the
belief that the olarge that they resorted
to underhand means to belittle the gov
ernor Is untrue. It has talked with gen
tlemen who were with Governor Hoe
gatt on his trip and has been told by
them that the people refused to have ?ny
thing to do with Governor Hoggatt and
it knows that reputable newspapers will
not deal in the kind of h?m-.tiingings
that the Governor says they indulged
in.
Governor Hoggatt was "caught with
the goods" in a former attempt along
these lines? when he wrote his famou?
letter to Washington and slandered |
Alaskans and at the same time passed
out honeyed words to them here at home
and when confronted with the letter
said it was not to have been giveu out
for publication ? When the true facts
come out it will more than likely show
that the Governor met with ? cold re
ception inside ? that the people would
have nothing to do with him and that
his present effort to create the impres
sion that thte newspapers wronged him
;s done with the idea that he cin fore
stall the truth of the matter when it
does come out.

JUNEAU'S POPULATION
The Record of Juneau contains the
following In an article dealing with tbe
6 .tics? of saloon licenses recently ordered
by Judge Gunnison. "Tbe presided
of the school board who was also present,
made no protest to tbe census taken by
W. C. Irish some time ago, fixing the
population ot Juneau at something less
than 1500." This would indicate clear
ly tbat tbe population of Juneau
is little, if any, larger than Skagwsy.
However, tbe Territorial Republican
Central committee has seen fit to give
Juneau twice as many delegates to tbe
republican convention as it allowed
Skagway. There is no reason for this
whatever. Skagway should bave as
many delegates as Juneau and the del
egates to the convention f.om this city,
if ?ny, should see that Skagway geta
what she is entitled to or insist that
Juneau get* what she deserves.
THE NEW SERVICE
The Daily Alaakan with this issue be
comes a member of the United Press
Service, which operates a leased wire
throughout Alaska. The new service
will make ft possible for The Alaskan
to give tbe news of tbe oataide world
up to the hour of 4 o'clock In tbe after
noon, which was impossible nnder tbe
old. The present service Is much more
expensive, but The Alaskan has faith
ia its patrons and believes that the ad
ditional expense in the matter of ser
Tic? will bs overeoma hr th? lucrease
lo patronage.
In commenting on an article which
recently appeared In The Alaskan, tho
Juneau Kecord says:
"A smelter it a big thing for which
all Skagway people should get together
and pull hard. It is a good location (or
such an industry, and if the business
men and mining operators would go
after It the thing is done."
The Reynolds Alaska Deve'opment
company, of which former Governor
Brady is chaplain, and which now own*
Valdez, body and brercbes, recently
opeued a oank in a church. Did Gov
ernor Brady open it with prayer?? Ka

PRETTY GIRLS
The selling of two pretty Indian girls,
neither of whom was H years of age,
to the highest bidder in open market
for natlre slaves, was the chief feature
of the Indian potlatcb at Alert Bay last
week. According to instructions of
Indian Agent Halllday, tbe Indians
must bre?k camp ajd return to their
own village.
The girls were openly sold by their
male friends to other indians for wives.
One wus bought for $1,000 cash. An
other girl named Rosa was sold for
1,400 blankets, supposed to be worth
$700. Another girl named Rebroca has
been sold at Alert Bay three times.
She Is not yet 20 years of age and has
been tbe mother of five children, all of
wbom died In infancy.
In the deals made lust week the girls
were not consulted in any way. They
simply went for the highest price, am.
one of tbe girls even voluntarily looked,
on at the time of the sale, not knowing
that she was to be the victim of the
deal.
The usual selling of blankets and
"potlatching" of cash wont on at this
feast.

JUDGE GUNNISON OH THAI SALOON!
LICENSES OF THAT PLACE BE
SAME AS SKAGWAY
Judge Gunnison yesterday fixed the
liquor license at $1000. Nearly all the
saloon men were present. Tbe presi
dent of the school board, William Ge ti
des was also present, but made no pro
test to the census as taken by W. C.
Irish some time ago, fixing the popula
tion of Juneau at ?ometbing less than |
1500. His Honor accepted the one pe
tition of conernt for all the saloon men,
but gava notice that next year each
man or saloon must stand on its own
bottom and secun a sufficient number
of names on his consent petition to en
title his application to be granted.
It is estimated that under the $1000
license there will be thirteen saloons in
Juneau. Had the license been fixed at
SL500 there would have bean only eight,
so we made money by reducing tbe li
cense. ? Juneau Record.
