Under the direction of Secretary of
the Interior Lane, the men who work
on the construction of the government
railway in Alaska will receive the
benefits of compensation for accidents
under a system already arranged and
announced. An order recently is
sued by the Secretary reads:
"Employes of the Alaskan engineer
ing commission shall have the right to
receive compensation for injuries sus
tained in the course of their employ
ment while actually in the Territory of
Alaska at the rates and in the
amounts, and on the conditions pro
vided in the act entitled ‘An act grant
ing to certain employes of the United
States the right to receive from it
compensation for injuries sustained in
the course of their employment,’ ap
proved May 30, 1908,
"Claims for compensation on ac
count of injury or death resulting from
accident thus occurring hereafter shall
be settled by the chairman of the Al
askan engineering commission, who
shall as to all such claims, and under
•such regulations as he may prescribe,
perform the duties which, under said
act, are placed upon the secretary of
commerce and labor, provided that
■when an injury results in death,
claims for compensation on account
thereof shall he filed with him within
one year after such death.”
Secretary Lane also directs that the
Alaskan engineering commission shall
make no charge for the services of its
medical or surgical officers in Alaska
or to any person who, while under con
tract with the commission, is injured
in Alaska in the course of the govern
ment's railway construction.
The provision covers possible in
juries to "station men” who perform
work under contract. The order fur
ther provides that "in case such in
jury of such persons not an employe
be such that the chairman of the com
mission shall deem it beneficial that
he shall be conveyed to any other
point in Alaska or to the city of Seat
tle for medical or surgical treatment
not available at the place where such
injury occurs,” the commission shall
pay the patient’s transportation.

DESIRED IT
I “ ' “ "j
_ f
Two days of the ''.Mission” havej
come and gone. Still for some rea
son unknown to the writer the citizens
of Cordova fight shy of Eagle hall at
8:15 p. m. It may be that the Mis
sion Lectures are thought to be for
those of the Catholic persuasion only;
to correct this misapprenhension the
Lecturer has distributed hundreds of
"dodgers" to tell that his presence is
rather for the non-church people for
whom lie feels a kindly interest. The
Lecturer disclaims any intention of
wounding the religious feelings of any
Cordovan. He pnofesses a sincere*
reverence for the religious opinions
of his fellows and therefore studiously
avoids expressions tending to reflect
on the sincerity of those who differ
from his In matters of religion. The
subjects suited to Catholics as Catho
lics are treated of within the pre-1
cincts of the little church on the hill,
and to these church exercises at 6
a. m. and 4 p. m. All Catholics
good, bad and indifferent are cordially
invited and we hereby bespeak for
them a priestly C’hrist-IIke welcome.
It may be that non-Catholics are
afraid that their presence in Eagle
hall at 8:15 p. m. or later will put
them in a humiliating or compromis
ing position; the “dodgers” dissipate
this fear. The presence of non
CathollCs is to be taken as a mere
manifestation of interest in an Ameri
can speaker who claims he lias an
important message of good news to
convey to the public and knows how
to deliver it without offense.
It. may be that yop are afraid of
Eagle hall is located; it is in your
home town.
It may be that some do not want to
be thought Ragles; well from Sunday
October 17th to Sunday October 24th
inclusive Eagle hall belongs to Father
Carbett who lias leased it precisely to
make you all feel at ease.
It may he that some are afraid of|
being “held up” by a bland stranger; j
well Father Corbett doesn't care forj
money though he knows how to get it
and how to spend it too in the com
munity where he gets it. Keep your
eve*; on your pocket-book or leave it
home if at all nervous, for Father
Corbett is a Jesuit a member of the
Society of Jesus, and Jesuits are pro
verbially masters of strategy; consult}
Webster's Dictionary. Yet Father,
Father Corbett is very much human
and pleads guilty to a modicum of
strategy but it is the strategy of ab
solute straightforwardness, the strat*'
egy of Christ who “went about doing
good” and who wants his ministers to
try to do likewise.
It may be that you are asxaid of
excitement, hysteria or the agonies of
the mourners’ bench. Well all this
fraud is cut out. Therefore citizens
of Cordova, Saints and Sinners come
any evening early or late to Eagle hall.
Sit down, stand up, or go to sleep as
you like. The speaker is not bothered j
by interruption or noise.
Now gentlemen, Father Corbett
knows he will have a “full” house of
sober men and women tomorrow night
when he will tell the story of his bro
ther “Jim.”
Tonight as per the "dodger” he will
give you “hell” or the “Sting of De-1
feat” the direct consequence of the
Creature’s War of Rebellion against
his conscience and his God.

DELEGATE
There has been a rumor circulated
about town for some time past that
Marshal L. T. Krwin was endeavor
ing to Induce Judge Ilunnell to resign
his judgeship ill order to enter the
rare for the delegateship next year,
and that his place is to be filled by the
appointment of G. KUig Gardner, as
soon as that trusty old Democratic
warhorse can get back to North Caro
lina and secure the support of the con
gressional delegation from that state.
We did not at first believe there was
anything to this rumor, but the an
nouncement made by Marshal Krwin
in the Sunday Times, together with
other coincident circumstances, serve
as a rather complete confirmation.
G. Killis Gardner stated upon leav
In* Fairbanks that he was coming
back but would give no definite an
swer eh to the nature of the capacity
in which he would serve after his re
turn. It was quite generally sup
posed before the appointment of Judge
was made last winter that Mr. Gard
ner w-ag the marshal's favorite candi
date, so if Erwin can secure a few
more of those reports from his depu
ties and (bus induce Judge Bunnell to
resign, the marshal will then have htg
own judge and be boss not only of the
Democratic party, but of the communi
ty as well.
If this rumor should prove to be
true, it is to be deplored that the
Fourth division is to be deprived
the services of Mr. Bunnell on the
bench, as he has up to the present
time filled his position in a dignl^J
and impartial manner.—Fairbanks
