The best pay in the Teller country

All kinds of political reports are
in the air. The latest is that a wire
was received from National Com
mitteeman Donahue that they had
endorsed Philip Corrigan for the
position of U. S. Marshal and that
it was almost a cinch that he would
receive it if any one is appointed.
The local endorsement of Kjegstead
arrived too late and Corrigan had
already received the endorsement,
following the original local endorse
ment of Corrigan, Daly and Kjeg
stead. Another very interesting
matter is the fight that is being
waged against Governor Strong for
re-appointment. It is notorious that
opposition has developed against
the Governor owing to the stand
he took in the matter of the issu
ance of a certificate to Sulzer and
practically compelling the Court to
mandamus the board. Nevertheless
the local committee is understood
to be quite strong for Governor
Strong and private advices indicate;
that his appointment is almost as
sured. They certainly might go con
siderably further and fare consider
ably worse also. In this connection
yesterday the Worker received the
following news dispatch from the
Juneau Empire.
“JUNEAU, April 9.—A state
ment is placed at the head of the
editorial columns of the Daily Em
pire this afternoon wherein John
Troy announced that he has never
heen a candidate for any appointive
or elective office in the Territory.
He would not accept the Governor
ship unless handed him on a silver
platter which is highly improbable.
His sole ambition is to make his '
paper a great success.”
As far as the Empire is concerned j
as a newpspaper it is so far ahead
of anything in the Territory that
it is difficult to see how Mr. Troy
still thinks his ambition fails ot
realization. He surely has made I
Df it a great sucess in every way.
Yesterday morning Nome arose !j
earlier than usual, the occasion be- \ j
ing the start of the All Alaska j
Sweepstakes race, four teams tow- i [
ing the mark to be speeded on their !!
way by Queen Jennie and her court. 1 j
The morning broke calm and sunny ■
after Boreas had puffed himself ex-1
hausted during the night and early '
morning and although it v. ;:s some- • <
what cold, the air was pleasant and j
bracing. The street took on an. !
unusually bustling appearance with
many of the population long gather
ed at Barrack Square before the
start, while camera men, movie and
snapshotters also sought places ot
vantage to take the teams. A sled
drawn by the High School students
brought the queen to her stand and
with the stentorian aid of Chief
Herald McGuire an excellent start
was effected. The teams all seemed
eager for the race and all appeared
to be in the pink of condition.
They started at the appointed hour
with promptness. Delzene leaving at .
nine o’clock and Seppala. Kjegstead
and Anderson following in the order
named.
Time as follows:
Delzene, Ft. Davis 9.18, Cape
Nome 10.19. Safety 11.00, Solomon
12.42,
Seppala, Ft. Davis 9.24. Cape
Nome '10.24, Safety 11.16, Solomon
12.58.
Anderson, Ft. Davis 9.24, Cape i
Nome 10.34, Safety 11.16; Solomon i
1.00.
Kjegstead, Ft. Davis 9.24, Cape j
Nome 10.35, Safety 11.16, Soiomon !
1.48.
There is no phone at Timber and J
up to eleven o'clock last night no
reports of arrival at Council were
recorded. A severe storm, with
I
drift and cold, was raging at Coun
cil. The teams probably anchored
for the storm.
