rent resolution introduced into the ter

dent appoint to federal offices in Ha

ferred.

narly all of the appointive federal

INTERESTING SKETCH OF
WELL-KNOWN ALASKAN
Donald A. McKenzie, a pioneer Alas
kan, who died recently at Washing
ton, D. C., came to Seattle more than
a quarter of a century ago from New
York State, where he was born and
reared. Just before the admission of
Washington territory to Statehood he
became prominent in Seattle and ter
ritorial politics. He conducted the
campaign which made former Terri
torial Governor Elisha P. Perry, the
Republican nominee for governor and
the first governor of the State of
Washington. He was the first deputy
collector of customs after the estab
lishment of a sub-port of entry at
Seattle.
He came to Alaska and was made
United States commissioner at Cold
foot, on the Koyukuk. Later he be
came identified with propositions to
open Alaska with railroads, and or
ganized one or two companies to build
roads from the coast to the Interior.
He was the owner of the townsite of
Nelson on Cordova bay. His promo
tion took him to Washington, where
he was married a half dozen or more
years ago, and where he spent the
latter years of his life. He was about
65 years of age. At the time of his
death he represented one of the
largest associations of textile manu
facturers In the country at Washing
ton.
Donald McKenzie had many friends
on the Pacific coast and the National
capital, to all of whom he was loyal
always. He was a hall fellow, a mixer
and of fine ability.
