Anchorage, Alaska
SATURDAY. SEPT. 25, 1915
A bonehead member of con
gress, hailing from Maryland, is
credited with being strongly in
favor of surrendering Southeast
ern Alaska to Canada to “obvi
ate the menace to. peace, ’’ on? for
some other reason probably best
known to this ardent (?) mem
ber of our national legislature.
Such a scheme should be frus
trated before actual harm can, be
done in this direction. Who knows
what influence has been brought
to bear on this befuddled mem
ber to induce him to father such
a scheme? Congress should pro
vide a way for Mr. Smith, to
make a visit to Alaska, that he
may see for himself the absurd
ity of hven thinking, of giving
one foot of Alaska to, Canada or
to any other power. Hon. Royal
A. Gunnison,, of Juneau, recently
stated that when he was at a
meeting of the commission for
uniform laws in,the United States
and the American JBar Associa
tion he heard, a great deal of talk,
among prominent lawyers and
others in favor of the “Smith
plan,’’ and stated, further “that
the conviction seems to, obtain:
among a great many Americans
that Southeastern Alaska would
be of much more, use to Canada
than it is to .the United States,
and the activity of Representa
tive Smith and others in promot
ing that idea cannot help but in
crease the number of those who.
agree with him unless something
is done to offset their work.”
He further states that a peace
society, with its headquarters in
Philadelphia,. has been constantly,
urging that the United States
should surrender Southeastern
Alaska to Canada in the interest
of peace.
FORGET IT!

Aiis injuries
George Krizan died: last week,
in: the hospital fromi the effects
of injuries received at Peters
creek-. The accident was due to
a tree falling on him while he
was engaged in cutting ties. Hie
was pushed to the government
hospital, where every attention,
was given him by Doctors Reedy
and Stoughton, but the injuries
proved too severe, and death, re
sulted shortly after his arrival.
He was born at Dalmacya, Aus
tria. The funeral, which was in
charge of Undertaker Wood,, was
held Sunday, burial being in the
government cemetery.
To Organize Btass Band
Anchorage has an opportunity
to secure a brass band with very
little exertion. Mr. Ralph.'Vogt
called at the Pioneer office early,
in the week and stated he was,
satisfied: that Anchorage had' the
talent and that there was-norea?
som why such an organization
could not be formed. Mr., Vogt
stated that he had acted as leader
of bands in several different cities
in the States and he would be
pleased to have all musicians
| who are interested in the matter
call at his residence, between
Sixth and Seventh on M, and talk
the matter over. The enterprise
, is very laudable and it is to be
hoped that enough of the boys
can be gotten together to make a
success-of the venture.

News From the
Northland
It ia believed that ‘ 'Musher
Kelly,. Charlies* Anderson and a.
man named Jacobson have beerr
drowned in. the Copper river.
They were returning in a small
boat from the Lakina river, and
when within, a short distance of
Chitina their boat upset, since
which time nothing has been
seen of the men on the boat.
Julius* Miller and Wm,. ©’Com
nor are held without bail at Fair
banks for the murder of Mrs.
Lowe, a storekeeper of Little El
dorado. They were arrested on
the sworn testimony of Ed
Cairns, who stated the two men
wished him to help kill the
woman, and who said they told
him they got $700 off the body,
R. P: McGuire; of Fairbanks,
reports that he has been success*
ful in locating; a bed of sulphur a
short distance from Fairbanks.
He also says he knows of a de
posit of oil which he intends to
locate when the oil lands are
thrown open for lease.
John Scharle, the Burbank of
Fairbanks, has succeeded in se
curing a cross between the na
tive strawberry and the “Jessy,”
the leading variety grown for the
market in the United States. The
new variety is said to retain the
delicious flavor of the wild berry
and attains considerable growth.
Hie has received an order for all
his plants from a New York
nursery, which has offered a sub
stantial sum for a variety of
strawberries which would with
stand all kinds of weather.
Gov. Strong is pressing the de
partment of justice to retain de
tectives to run down the guilty
parties who are responsible for
the* trail murders in Alaska. Dur
ing the past few years more than
a. dozen atrocious murders have
been committed in various parts
of the territory without an effort
being made on the part of the [
government to run down and
punish the guilty persons. The
federal-appropriations do* not al
low of the United States mar
shals expending money to trace j
offenders, and this is realized as i
a great mistake, as it permits the!
guilty parties to* get out of the
country with their ill-gotten
gains. Gov. Strong believes that
if federal detectives were imme
diately placed in charge of the
work that Alaska would soon
again be safe for lone travelers,
as in the early days.
Captain Cupp, lormeriy court
bailiff at Nome, has been ad
judged insane. The first symp
toms of the disease came in the
form, of spiritualism.
According to. the statement of
the consulting engineer of the
Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany, $2,500,000 will be spent in
making the property one of the
biggest producers in< Alaska. One
million, dollars will be spent in
developing the ore bodies, one
million on the plant for reducing
the ore* and $600,000 for a power
plant,.
Tom. Stark, an old miner who
has made several fortunes and
spent them, in mining ventures*
is reported: to have made another
strike on Hodzana river, about
150 miles north of the Yukon
river. The extent of the strike
has not been demonstrated, but
$50 in coarse gold was taken
from the bottom of the first
shaft to bedrock. Stark filled
the: hole to prevent any chance
prospector ascertaining the ex
tent of his pay, and immediately
. struck out for Rampart, 300miles
away, to notify his partners.
Other miners on the Hodzana,
angered' at Stark for keeping the
find secret and not letting them
in on the strike, have jumped
many of the claims staked by
Stark and his partners. Ram
part is the recording office of the
new camp, and a considerable
stampede has already taken place.
