M’CARTHY RESIDENT
URGES HIS FRIENDS
TO SUPPORT 1’BRSDE
f ” • V
John E. Barrett, president of the
McCarthy Commercial Club, is a
strong advocate of J. C. McBride for
Republican national committeeman,
and he advises all of his friends in
the Copper river valley to support his
candidacy. Mr. Barrett is“ on a busi
ness trip to San Francisco and in a
; letter to Attorney F. H. Foster, he
: says:
“I met J. C. McBride on the boat on
his way from Juneau to Seattle and
I had a good chance to become ac
quainted with him. I found him to be
a progressive business man who is
certainly familiar with the needs of
the territory. In my opinion we have
made no mistake in endorsing him as
our national committeeman and I am
going to ask you and all of my friends
to do all you can to insure his elec
tion at the primaries on April 27.
“Mr. McBride has many friends in
Southeastern Alaska and in conversa
tion with a number of them they as
sured me that he would carry the
First division by a large majority.”
FORMER CORDO VAN IS
NAMED ASSISTANT TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Robert E. Capers, former attorney;
for the Copper River & Northwestern
railway, has been appointed assistant
to United States District Attorney
Saunders, at Seattle.
Assistant District Attorney Capers
was assistant to Clarence L. Reames,
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral during »the war. He is a native
of Dallas, Texas, graduating from the.
University of Texas,in 1911. A year
later, at Seattle, he entered the law
firm of Bogle, Cravens, Merritt &
Bogle. In 1914 he came to Cordova
and acted as territorial attorney for
the Alaska Syndicate, resigning from
that post in 1918, when he returned -
to Seattle and became assistant to
Mr. Reames. Attorney Capers was
particularly active in the prosecution
of espionage cases during the war.
The steamship Alameda arrived
from the westward this morning and
will sail for Seattle at midnight.
Troubles never qome singly. At
least that, probably, is what Mail Con
| tractor John Brower thinks, as a re
! * F
! suit of action taken by the Northern
! Commercial Company to collect money
i alleged to be due on material sold to
! Brower. Representatives of the mar
j shal’s office have been busy libeling
property belonging to the mail carrier
in Fairbanks, and Deputy Marshal Jack
Buckley was sent out on the trail on
a similar mission. The orders are to
grab everything owned by Brower, with
the exception of just sufficient equip
ment to enable him to get through with
the mail.
Browser is making no effort to fight
the proceedings instituted by the com
pany. He says he is not worrying, be
cause he expects to have the money in
a few days to liquidate the claim
against him, amounting to $6,500. The
money is coming from San Francisco.
Browser has had all kinds of trouble
since early winter, chiefly through in
ability to overcome adverse trail con
ditions, which upset his schedules a
number of times and put him to much
additional expense. And after he had
finally caught up with the mail ship
ments and began reaching out for some
of the passenger traffic, with prom
ises of service superior to that of in
i
dependents, along came an overflow
in the Delta country wThich has tied up
traffic as completely as any of the
storms of the winter. Stages are now
at both ends of the overflow", waiting
to get across, but the date of the sub
sidence of the trail flood is a matf'er
of extreme uncertainty. The present
cold weather may close the gap, but
there is nothing sure about it.
George C. Hazelet returned on the
Alameda this morning from a trip to
k Valdez, Seward and Anchorage, and
he is very much gratified at the strong
sentiment in those towms in favor of
the candidacy of J. C. McBride for
Republican national committeeman.
