HYDEtt. ALASKA. Dec. 1, 1920
That the New Alaska is to bej
worked on a large scale next season
is good news, and another sousce
of gratification Kes in the fact that j
W.G. Harris has been secured as
superintendent. As superintendent
of the Premier his record was one
of accomplishment and that he
retired when the mine changed
ownership is no reflection on his
ability. Everyone in the district
will be glad to see him actively en
gaged here again.
THE NEXT GOVERNOR
Shortly after Plesident-efect Har
ding assumes his seat there will be
a new governor for Alaska appoint
ed and present indications point to
a merry warfare being waged be
tween aspirants for this office. The
name of Senator J. R. Heckman of
Ketchikan was of the first men
tioned but Mr. Heckman promptly
stated that he had no desire for t!
position and would support George
C. Hazelet, who has been brought
forward by Cordova residents and
is being strongly backed by many
towns of southern and southeastern
Alaska. Now James Wickersham,
who has many claims for political
preferment, has announced that if
he is offered the appointment he
will accept, and those who know
the judge best look for a determin
ed effort on his part to secure it I
Meanwhile J. C. McBride, national
committeeman, states that he has
made no recommendations.
All Alaskans hope that the choice
will fall on an Alaskan, one whose'
interests are bound up in the Terri
tory and who knows the require
ments of its people. We want no
carpetbag government.
"You may formally announce for
me that my resignation as govern
or of Alaska will be in the hands
of President Harding when he as
sumes his dui; s as President of the
United States on March 4, 1931."
Stated Governor Tnomas r „ o
the Juneau Empire.
"I will submit my reslgnition to
the incoming President,’’ he added
to become effective subject to his
pleasure. This action is taken ac
cording to the usual custom in such
cases."
Gov. Riggs took the oath of offiee
and his appointment became effec
tive on April 26, 1918. He was
appointed for a term of four years.
It is, however, according to prece
dent for holi-over appointments,
as stated by the governo'-, to ten
der t heir resignations to a new ad
ministration.

The governor has been actively
associated with Alaska for many
years. In 1906 he was appointed
on the Boundary Survey Commiss
ion as engineer to the Commission.
He remained on that body until
1914, being in charge of the work
for the United States, running a
line establishing the Alaska-Canad
ian boundary from Mount St. Elias
to the Arctic ocean. n 1914, on
erection of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission for the purpose of
building a railroad from the Alaska
coast to the Interior, he was ap
pointed one of the three commiss
ioners, the other two being Wm. C.
Pd s, chairman, and Col, F. Mears.
He w sg v c'ur.,e i aid ..ter.oi
work h .ving headquarters at Ne
nana, resigning that appointment
m i 9 io to accept that of Governoi
of Alaska.
