Commissioner
For Delta: Office at SalctiaRet
Editor Alaska Forum: {
■ _ ■* ^ „
Dr; H. L. Hedger, erstwhile'dentist,
and a rounder at Rampart—more lately
of Fairbanks, has accepted the appoint
ment as commissioner for the Delta,
and has left for Salchacket, where the
office will be located.
(Hedger placed Judge Wickersham
under obligations while foreman of the
grand jury at Rampart in 1903, and as
a reward for his dirty work, has at last
received his mess of pottage. The
people of the Delta have our sympathy
in the infliction of such an indignity. Ed.)
Vuko.Perovich has been sentenced to
hang Dec. & An appeal has been tak
en, and this will'undoubtedly stave off
the fatal day. The chances are that
whenever Vuko gets ready he will
light out. The facility with which pri
soners escape from our local jail has
been greatly commented' upon.
Lee Van Slyke has been appointed
commissioner of. the newly carved out
Kantishna precinct. If Van Slyke is
the average Wickersham appointee the
new precinct will be carved in more
ways than one.
The engagement of Miss Florence
Heilig, daughter of A. R. Heilig, for
mer clerk of court, to' Mr. R. C. Force
has been announced.
Fairbanks.

people along the Front street gave it,
an animated appearance.
