H.OYAMA, PRO.
$ before the house of representa
5 tives in the nation’s capital i:
\ 1914, is one of the most famous
\ talks of its kind and even todaj
\ it is an easy matter to find vet
\ eran legislators who well re
\ member that stirring address.
I The talk was an exposition of
Alaskan resources, keyed to the
j point of convincing congress
; that Ihe railroad would be a boon
; to the Territory. “And it has
: been a great help,” Delegate
: Wickershsm says today. “It is
| true the railroad does not oper
: ate at a profit, but that was not
to be expected. The wealth is
there, and as time goes on it will
be realized more and more. The
! railroad is necessary. To talk of
;raising the rates is a mistake
.The road was built to develop
I Alaska. Now that the people of
jthe United States have received
I more than $3,000,000,000 from
Alaska, isn’t it fair that the gov
ernment should do something to
help future development?”
Spectacular Trial
When Judge Wickcrsham re
calls the earlier days in Alaska
when he sat as a federal judge
his thoughts almost invariably
| tarn to what is perhaps the most
i spectacular murder trial in the
• history of the Territory. It did
not arouse the public interest
that it would today, but it was
I the talk of the north for a long
while.
Judge Wickersham was order
ed from Fairbanks to hear cases
!af. Nome, where court affairs
were thrown into a turmoil as o
result of exposures that sent of
ficials from the judge and dis
trict attorney down to minor
officials to San Francisco where
they were tried and convicted

circuit court of appeals in min

In Nome, Judge Wickersharr
heard reports of a gruesome
murder on Unimak island. Little
did he then realize that out ol
this fould grow a dramatic trial
climaxed by himself when he
sentenced the guilty man to be
'hanged. The execution was car
ried out, and went down in his
tory as one of the few hangings
ever to take place in the Terri
tory.
Revenue Cutters Used
The judge and his court party,
grand, petit jurors, proceeded to
jUnalaska, where they held the
[only federal court proceedings
that ever have been held at that
out-of-the-way community.
Three revenue cutters in the
district were used relentlessly to
pursue clues, to pick up witness
es. John McGinn, prominent
Alaskan who was then assistant
district attorney, had charge of
the prosecution. He worked hard
and obtained a conviction.
The evidence, Judge Wicker
sham recalled not long ago, show
ed that four men, led by Con
Sullivan who had discovered the
Bunker Hill mines in Idaho, had
come to Unimak island. They put
up their tents at a camp, left
guns and supplies there and
went back for the remainder of
their possessions. While they
were gone a cod-fishing boat
came by the camp, the men land
ed, saw the deserted place, then
returned to their fishing boat- -
all, that is, except a fisherman
named Fred Hardy. He refused to
go; so the men left him.

KETCHIKAN
The Democratic political pot
is boiling here—and the Repub
lican pot is more than just sim
mering. Both parties are stirring
up interest and you can see
small groups of men gesticulat
ing fiercely and talking rapidly
on the streen corners. The politi -
cians are fishing for their sup
port and some of them are angl
ing for the Brotherhood mem
bers. This applies to both parties
—nominated at the last primary
in April. It is being pointed out
that there are many cheap, self
ish men in this political game
and Alaska is no exception. It is
reported that early in the fall,
the Republican plan to make an
intensive drive through the Divi
sion. And it is also reported that
the Democrats do not intend to
leave and precinct uncovered.
Even William L. Paul, the Lone
Wolf politician pans to make a
trip through the Division. We
are watching to see just how
much support the politicians are
going to give Mr. Paul in return
for the support they want from
him. Give nothing, get nothing
is rather the sentiment in Ket
chikan.
On Labor Day, the Ketchikan
Camp of the A. N. B. sponsored
| a banquet for its members. This
was held in the Social Hall of
the Presbyterian Church and a
jbout 20 members wore in at
tendance. Speeches were given
by Edward Ridley, President of
the Local Camp, Father Paul J.
Mather, Rev. George J. Beck of
the Presbyterian Church, Charl
,es Brown, President of the Sax
:man Camp and William L. Paul,
member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Gand Camp. Wil
bur Ridley was toastmaster and
'well did he toast the speakers.
Chief Topic: The Brotherhood
as an Organization,
i Last week a reception was
tendered by the Parents of the
Indian Bureau School in honor
j cf Mrs. Storms, the new nurse
for the Ketchikan district, the
teachers of the local bureau
school staff and Mrs. Ambers
the new teacher at Saxman. A
bout 50 parents attended the re
ception which was held in the
St. Elizabeth Church basement
hall.
The local teachers report a
j very good enrollment in the bu
> reau schools at the opening ol
- the school term.
The usual heavy rains of the
t fall season is upon us and makes
! us think of the long cold winter
ahead. The people here are try
ing to prepare as much food for
;the winter as possible but still
there are some who are unable
tc get out to the grounds to do
, this.
j All the passenger steamers
[southbound are crowded with
cannery workers who will draw
| their pay in Seattle for their
I work in Alaska. We are wonder
1 mg if the business men of
Alaska are planning to go to
Seattle to help these migratory
i workers to cash their pay checks
'or do they expect the Alaska
'workers to manufacture fiat
money to come in to buy food
and clothing for the winter.
Right now indications here are
that many of the business hous
es are going to be forced to close
j their doors; restuar&nts will pull
their fires and we will all either
[cook at home or do without. How
[about it Republicans and Demo
crats of Alaska?
YAKUTAT
I The motorship Yakutat went
[ashore at the mouth of Italia
River and it is said that it will
be a hard job to get her off of
' tiie soft sand. The crew are safe.
The Yakutat is a cannery tend
er and was out for a load of fish.
| The Libby ship General Gor
gas, Captain Mike Shay, was in
port and took out the season’s
pack of salmon—60,000 cases
from the Kenai cannery and 22,
000 cases from this port.
The A. N. B. had a picnic—one
cf the largest gatherings in a
long time. All the members and
families and Sisterhood and chil
dren left for Ankow River for j
the day. The Yakutat Band play-1
ed many selections and many
speeches were made by the pro
minents of the town.
The Sisterhood gave a basket
social recently to raise funds to
pay off some of the town obliga
tions incurred in getting the
City Light. They raised $260.75
through the sale of baskets.
Mrs. Helen Bremner, Grand
Vice President of the A. N. S. re
turned from Juneau where she
has been in the hospital since
early in July. She is much im
proved in health and all are
glad to have her home.
Miss Violet James left to at
tend the Sheldon Jackson School
at Sitka and will remain their
for three years. Her “grandpa'’
T. M. (Max) Italio gave her a
farewell party which w^as well
attended by friends.
