For President—Charles Evans Hughes.
For Delegate to Congress—James Wickersham
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23,1916
DELEGATE TELLS POSITION.
In the very frank ami manly letter written by Delegatt
James Wickersham to Editot Jiujisell, of the Juneau Dispatch
the delegate plainly indicates lire-position with respect to tin
petty political bosses to seek to control the federal patronag*
in the event of the election of Hughes, the republican presi
denential candidate. The delegate repudiates a nominatioi
at the hands of these politicians, who would ruthlessly sacri
lice the interests of the people to further their own selfisl
ends.
The delegate says that these political schemers are doom
ed to bitter disappointment if they figure on gaining contro
of the federal patronage of Alaska and very bitterly arraigns
the Sliackleford-Murane-Irving combination that sought tc
bind him with respect to political appointments. It the repub
lican candidate for president wins in the coming election, am
on that score there is little room for doubt. Delegate Wicker
sham, as the accredited representative in Washington of tin
people of Alaska, will have much to say about federal ap
pointments in this territory. And a trusting devotee wlic
wears the Shackleford collar will' receive no consideratioi
whatever. There is no reason in the wide world why he sliouh
receive recognition. The days of bossism have passed, nevei
to return. And the Shackleford crowd will find this out, mud:
to their discomfiture. &;i •* *•“ : .yf * *■**-•* «r*

PASSENGERS SHOULD BE SAFEGUARDED.

The steamship lines or the Commission, whichever is ir
charge of the matter, should immediately arrange better fa
cilities for the transfer of passengers from the steamers ly
ing in the channel to the launches engaged in conveying them
ashore. Passengers on the Admiral Wytson were compelled
to walk a narrow plank from the ship to the launch. This
plank had no ropes on the sides and was placed at an angle ol
about 30 degrees. It was dark when the passengers left the
ship and in accomplishing the plank passage, one lady very
narrowly escaped falling into the bay, in which event death by
drowning might have resulted. Rather than walk the dan
gerous plank, some of the tourists elected to remain aboard
throughout the night.
Now this is a very simple matter, easily adjusted by pro
curing a plank fitted for the purpose. Passengers may then
go from ship to launch without fear of accident. Fatal results
to someone may follow neglect in this matter.
ALASKANS FORM TYPE.
: vw_'; t '■ ^ " ■ ■**-' - vyar*-**4
Alaskans are said to form a distinct type, says the Fair
banks Times. It is just as pronounced as is that of the Smith
erner, the Westerner or the down-east Yankee. Environ
ments undoubtedly have a great deal to do in forging type.
In an earlier stage of embryo civilization, or advanced savag
ery, the Indian tribes of the North American continent were
distinctive according to local climatic and geographical con
ditions governing.
The Alaskan type carries with it the idea of bigness, of
self-contidenee, of wide charity, of (piickened sympathies, ot
direct honesty and of impatience with petty conventions and
th(> placing of money value above everything else. The Alas
kan is a strong individualist. His opinions are positive ant;
expressed sometimes without regard to that of the other fel
low. Hence the hitter factional fights often engendered.
The Alaskan is never of the (‘ringing sort. President Wil
son or Roosevelt or Hughes or Morgan could walk the street
of any of the towns of Alaska without creating any more ex
citement than the arrival of some sourdough from the hills
Indeed, should either one of those persons be making i
speech and a miner come to town with news of a new strik(
the whole crowd would stampede to the mines and forget tin
existence of the celebrity.
In short, the makeup of the average Alaskan are many of
the characteristics of the country—the pure, free air, no
tainted with the city’s breath which sweeps over wide dis
tances of mountains and plains, the nearness to nature when
wonderful sermons are preached; the close association of dan
gers which teach confidence and self-reliance, and a wide char
ity for the poor devil who gets up against it. Everywhere Out
side the term Alaskan is beginning to convey a meaning tlior
oughly distinctive of a type of empire builders of a large cal
ibre.
Anchorage being a dry town, it will be interesting to watcl
the returns from there at the November election, as to whethe
or not its residence favor a continuance of the present govern
rnent regulation or prefer to have their liquid refreshment;
served open and above board.—Cordova Times.
The White Pass & Yukon railway has had the best «easoi
in its history not only with tourist excursions but in genera
commercial travel as well as in an increased freight traffic
The copper mines have been steadily shipping ore and the roac
has been doing an excellent business.
