DELEGATE WORKS
INTEREST ALASKA
One of the many reasons for the
popularity of Delegate James Wlck
ersham is his untiring efforts in be
half of his Alaska constituents. No
matter whether the matter is large
or small or from what part of the
territory the appeal for help comes,
James Wickersham, delegate from
Alaska, is never too busy to listen
to the cry and is always ready and
willing to give the issue his. assist
ance and influence.
This attitude Is comendable and
is appreciated by the people of
Alaska; moveover has done much
j towards establishing his standing in
Washington, and is partly responsi
ble for his cognomen of "the man
who does things.’’
Delegate Wickersham writes At
torney Arthur Frame in reference to
i the lock boxes for the Anchorage
! post office and quotes passages from
a communication from Daniel C.
Roper, first assistant postmaster
general, as follows: "1 wish to in
form you that 230 aditional lock
boxes were shipped to the Anchor
age post office from Seattle on May
13. The Alaskan Engineering com
mission has agreed to enlarge the
building now occupied by the post
office so as to provide the necessary
floor space and this bureau has
made inquiry in regard to the status
of the work.”
A few days ago The Daily Times
published an article relative to the
post office situation in Anchorage in
which the salient facts of the case
were discussed, and as soon as the
material arrives this work will be
started by the commission. The
plans have been drawn and Engineer
H. P. Warren says this work will be
pushed to an early completion as the
commission realizes the inadequate
ness of the present post office facil
ities and is anxiofls to relieve the
congested conditions that handicap
Postmaster Wood and his force as
well as the patrons of the Anchorage
office.
In closing Delegate Wickersham
says that he will use his influence in
this matter and give any other wor
thy issue pertaining to the welfare
of this community his attention.
In addition to the above Secretary
Koch is in receipt of a letter from
Delegate Wickersham under date of
June 13, in reference to coal leases:
House of Representatives U. S.,
Washington D. C., June 13, 1916,
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce,
Anchorage, Alaska. Gentlemen: On
Friday, June 9, I received your tele
gram of the 8th requesting that pub
lications relating to coal leases be
published in the Anchorage Daily
Times. I immediately called up the
private secretary of the interior and
talked to him about it. He told me
they had also received a telegram
and had given the matter considera
tion. I have also written a letter
and sent them a copy of the tele
gram which I received from you, and
requested that publications of this
kind be made in the local paper as
well as at San Francisco, Seattle and
Juneau. The whole matter is pend
ing before the department and I can
do no more than make the request,
which I did by telephone and by let
ter. Very truly yours,
JAMES WICKERSHAM,
Delegate from Alaska.

ALLEGED MURDER HAS
A SOBERING EFFECT
Arrivals from Nushagak on the
Dora report that Postmaster E. Mc
Lean, who is in custody here for the
alleged murder of his wife by beat
ing, is confident of acquittal. The
man's story is that the woman was
killed by being thrown from a dog
sled in which she was riding. This
story is not believed by the residents
of Nushagak.
Since the terrible affair, the de
tails of which were made public
shorty after it happened, there has
been a change in the attitude of the
most brutal of husbands toward
their native wives in that section,
the residents say. Before the death
of Mrs. McLean many native women
received very little consideration at
the hands of their husbands.
It is claimed that drink was large
ly responsible for the tragedy and
that there has been a distinct falling
off in the shipments of liquor to that
section since the killing.
The case will come before the j
floating court for examination on the
trip to the westward this summer.— |
