Select Delegates
The “Republican” meeting of last
Monday held at A. B. hall was poorly
attended. The votes cast were twenty
five and a large percentage of those
were anything but republicans. The
following were chosen to represent the
republicans of Rampart at the Repub
lican Territorial Convention to be held
at Juneau, Alaska, July 14, 1906:
Rev. M. E. Koonce
H. F. Thumm
John Stanley.
J. W. Young was recommended as
good timber for a Republican central
committeeman. The clique fell out
over a resolution introduced endorsing
Prdsident- Roosevelt and his administra
tion. The resolution was finally passed
after some debate. The objector - will
take it out of Roosevelt when he and
fellow democrats frame up for the del
egates to the democratic convention.
When this system is working nicely it is
very pretty, as one has a finger in every
political pie, and is bound to be on the
winning side.
After the meeting Commissioner J.
Liirdley Green appointed himself recei
ver and endeavored to solicit funds to
defray the expenses of sending one of
the delegates to Juneau, but the towns
people refused to do so, and the com
missioner went home with a bad head
ache. C. B. Allen, an ardent admirer
of Judge Parker, and an ’‘independent”
in politics, then jumped into the breach
and succeeded in raising $120. but John
Stanley, whom they decided to send,
refused to have anything further to do
with the proposition and declined the
dubious honor.
It is now announced that the proxies
only of the delegates will be forwarded
to Juneau. In the meantime the bona
fide Republicans of the camp are said
to be preparing to contest the legality
of the entire proceedings and also the
right of any of the - delegates selected
' at that meeting to sit hi the cohvention.
Dr. and Mrs. Carter. arrived on the
Power from Circle yesterday. The doc
tor will reopen his dental office, and It
likely that he will visit-Tanana shortly.

$20,000 Trail
For Big Minook
Major Wilds P. Richardson, chair
man of the Alaska road commission,
has promised to expend $20,000 this
summer on a wagon road from Ram
part to Eureka, up Big Minook. He
made this promise to Mr. A. H. Monroe
who had an extended interview with
him while in Washington, D. C. this
spring.
Major Richardson said he appreciated
the urgent necessity for such a trail,
and the growing importance of the
Rampart district. He would promise
however, to expend $10,000 this seassn,
and, provided the additional appropria
tion of $150,000 asked for by the road
commission was allowed, he would ex
pend $20,000. The major estimated
that the road would cost $1,000 per
mile to build.
Congress has granted the appropria
tion, and : Hie much villified Senator
Kelson secured its passage thru the sen
ate without a dissenting vote. Miners
across the divide and all interested in
the future of this camp will hail the
buildidg of such a road with great sat
isfaction.
A base ball game and some field
sports are announced for July 4th at
the new ball grounds.
Anderson & Olsen are enjoying a trip
to camp owing to the scarcity of water
on Thanksgiving creek.
August Peters came in from Glen to
day. He reports a general shut down
owing to lack of water in that section.
