Frank Burk Registers Kick
Over Poor Outfit Supplied
Frank"Burk has just returned from a
winter’s prospecting trip in the country
20 miles below the Novikakat on the
southern slope df the Yukon watershed
and reports finding sufficiently good
encouraging prospects to impel him to
return this fall and continue his invest
igations. Burk is highly incensed over
thequality of the outfit he bought here
last summer, and states that it became
necessary for him to mush ont in the
dead of winter to Kokrines so as to re
place a large quantity of spoiled and
damaged goods, thus loosihg a great
part of the winter.
J. W. Young received a large con
signment of fresh eggs, potatoes, onions
and fresh frnits on the Hannah direct
from Seattle. The consignment is first

Talked To Death
From the Skaprway Alaskan.
WASHINGTON, June 7.—Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota, and Senator Mc
Cumber, of North Dakota, have enter
ed into an agreement to talk the con
firmation of Judge Wickersham to
death. Each has said he will speak
from two to four days and that one or
the other will begin to speak every
time Judge Wickersham's case comes
up and will continue until the adjourn
ment of the execytive session. This
proceedure will continue until the ad
journment of congress. It is conceded
ed that a vote, if one could be secured,
would be for Wickersham, four to one,
and that the only way to prevent con
firmation will be to talk the appoint
ment to death.
The action of Senators Nelson and
McCumber have incensed the senate.
The feeling against Senator Nelson is
particularly deep seated for the reason
that he promised President Roosevelt
that if he were beaten in the committee
he would cease his opposition.
The above dispatch is copied from a
rabid Wickersham organ. It is a fair
sample of the dope emanating from the
pen of the Washington correspondent
of the Seattle P-I. The item contains
some truth, many prevarications and is
wholly misleading. The only truth in
it—and that is inferred—is that a vote
to confirm Judge Wickersham cannot
be had.
The statement regarding Senator
Nelson and the president is a prevari
cation and misleading, for if Senator
Nelson ever made such a promise,
which is doubtful, he performed his
part of it as the senate committee nam
ed to investigate Judge Wickersham
decided against the confirmation of his
appointment.
