VOTE FOR GEO£jj$B-<B. GRIGSBY.
*: s> #
Indications from all parts of the. territory, and especially
from the First division, point to the fact that the fight for at
torney-general of the territory has narrowed down to a con
test between George B. Grigsby, the democratic candidate,
and George B. Schofield, the nominee of the so-called “repub
lican ” convention at Seward. The candidacy of the incum
bent, Cobb, who is running for re-election on an independent
ticket, has fallen flat in his home district—the First—and in
this situation there is no use wasting a ballot on him. And
this, notwithstanding the fact that the incumbent has made a
good record in his office. But the indications are that the
race is between Grigsby and Schofield. As between these two
candidates, there is but one choice, in the opinion of The
Times, and on this theory, it will espouse the candidacy of Mr.
Grigsby.
In the first place, Schofield is not a bona fide resident of
Alaska; his home is in Seattle. He is a bird of passage that
comes to Alaska in the spring and returns to the states when
the winter begins to approach. This fact in itself disqualifies
a man from seeking office at the hands of the people of the ter
ritory. It implies that he would not be a year-round resident
unless given a fat job. Not that there is anything wrong in
a man spending his summers in Alaska and his winters outside.
Many of our mining men do that, and many of us would like
to be able to do the same thing. But we Alaskans are not dis
posed to give a man a lucrative office just to make him winter
in the territory. '
But that is not all that can be laid at the door of the al
leged republican candidate. Sufficient to condemn him in the
eyes of the people of Alaska, is the fact that he gained his
nomination from the Seward convention—a convention dom
inated by Boss Shackleford and his unsavory crew of politi
cal misfits and office-seekers. The deal that this alleged re
publican convention handed Delegate Wickersliam is enough
to discredit and defeat any political offspring of that gathering
of office-seekers.
George B. Grigsby is an Alaskan. He is a good lawyer.
He went to Nome when scarcely out of his teens and fought his
way to the front rank of Attorneys. As a trial lawyer, lie has
no peer in this territory. He is a good fellow, has. an attract
ive personality and will be elected.
Miners from the Cache Creek country, now returning from
the summer’s work in that district, are enthusiastic over the
matter of railway transportation for that camp and will read
ily join the ranks of the boosters for the Kuskokwim branch
line. There are few placer mining camps in Alaska that have
the possibilities of the Cache Creek district. Buf the miners
can’t very well open a camp on a comprehensive scale with
such exorbitant transportation costs as now prevail, (liven
rail transportation, and a great placer field will be quickly de
veloped.
The Cook Inlet country will be represented at the coming
session of the American Mining Congress, Mr. Chas. K. Her
ron, publisher of The Times, now enroute to the states, having
been appointed a delegate to the convention. It is needless to
say that the big mining men of the United States, who will as
semble at this great national convention, will hear something
about the Willow Creek gold camp and other mining possibili
ties of the Cook Inlet country. The recognition of this part of
Alaska by the governor is duly appreciated.
At a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting last night,
held for the purpose of determining what action should be
taken with respect to a new Labor Temple, a live committee
was appointed, with plenary power to act in the matter. The
Times hopes and wishes the committee all success. We people
of Anchorage have come to recognize the Labor Temple as an
institution in the town and we don’t propose to do without it.
If each individual in Anchorage would chip in a dollar or two,
the thing would be done. The writer of these lines will be
there with his share.
It is so certain that Delegate James Wickerslmm will
sweep the Cook Inlet country at the polls November 7, that il
appears almost unnecessary to employ time to agitate the mat
ter. It ’s all over but the shouting.
“The Store That Hat What You Want—When You t^ant It."
Loussac’s Daily Gossip
HALLOWE’EN IS COMING! Remember the date—October 30th—We
have all sorts of Hallowe’en decorations, Post Cards, folders, etc. Show your
friends outside that we are on the map.
We are busy unpacking our Holiday stock—and still busier selling it.
Lately we have been burning the wires ordering more and more goods. What
sells it is quality and price. A man who knows values after looking over our
stock of Libbey’s cut glass said that we sell it cheaper than in Seattle. That
is because we are not looking for war-profit. Our prices where possible are
“ before the war ” prices. Most of our stock was ordered over a year ago for
our Juneau store.
There is a good deal of satisfaction in selling high quality merchandise
outside of the profit you make on it.
There was a time when you bought some article—you took your chances.
If you got stung, there was no redress—You just took your medicine and said
nothing. Conditions have changed since. A reputable merchant does not care
to sell goods he can not back up with an iron clad guarantee—Moneyback—if
not satisfactory!
We guarantee everything we sell. We do not handle goods of question
able value. As Gorham worked to establish his trade-mark “ Sterling ” to be
a standard of value Waterman’s “ Ideal ” for fountain pens, “ Libbey ” for cut
glass, so are we going to work until the name of Loussac will be associated
with the highest standard of drugs in Alaska.
A good time to send your subscription for magazines and periodicals is
before navigation closes. We take your subscriptions at outside prices. Bring
them now.
Thermos bottles are a suitable gift on any occasion.
We have just received the agency for San-Tox preparations. We know
that they are very good and reliable. Watch for the “ San-Tox Nurse.”
Speaking of Hair Tonics, we had a man inquire the other day for the
same tonic which made Frank Polley’s mustache grow so rapidly, only he
wanted it to be dark brown. He got it. Frank reports progress.
We have opened our Hot Drinks service—in connection with our Soda
Fountain. In the afternoon when shopping, a glass of Hot Chocolate is re
freshing and invigorating. A cup of hot Chicken Bouillon or Beef Tea is a
tonic and a food. The English Afternoon Tea is not all fashion stuff. There
is a good deal of horse sense in a slight refreshment midday. Try it—and see
for yourself.
Victor Phonographs and Records. New records to please the lover of
grand opera or ragtime. We carry the Victor goods at the Northern Drug Co.
Squibb’s name on the label of a bottle of Olive Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Epsom
Salts, Liquid Petrolatum, etc., is a guarantee of superior quality. We have
them.
Dr. R. Simpson, the well known Optometrist and Optician from Juneau
has written me that he will be here in December. Judging from the demands
for eye glasses he is sure nepftefl her. He certainly knows his business and
we heartily recommend him.
