ine, and Cordova will never thrive
until there 1h an entire change of
program. The people must work in
harmony If you nre ambitious to he
n town.
"George Hazelet seemed to be the
“bull's eye" that everybody was shoot
ing at, and at the same time he was
here in Washington working like a
beaver for Cordova and the whole Cop
- per river country. I have been In
. Washington and have been a member
i of the Third house for eleven years.
I have never seen men work more
earnestly for a locality than
George Hadelet and Falcon Joslin
worked for the Copper Kiver country.
Your newspapers could be a great
help If they were upholding the efforts
of your citizens that were here. But
instead of a help they were the other
thing. I did not dare show a copy of
pur town papers to Congressmen, Sen
ators, or officials. Hazelet is entitled
to the entire credit for getting the
| wireless station started this summer,
and your know the Buffalo was a great
[ help last summer. He also got the
I public building site definitely settled
J and did all that could be done at this
time toward getting the building start
ed, which will come along In due time.
I do not In ted to rob Judge Wicker
sham of his share of credit for this
good work. The Judge was always on
the job and he was glad to have Haze
let's aid. The Judge and George
worked in perfect harmony and I know
that Wickersham appreciated the ser
vice and help. In fact Hazelet and
Joslin gave their best efforts for the
railroad and every other public enter
prise from Cordova to Fairbanks and
they were both absolutely fair and
honorable to me and my swamp inter
est at the head of the Bay.
"It certainly was an inopportune
time to attack Hazelet. The Seward
crowd took advantage of the situation
and circulated Cordova papers to kill
Hazelet's influence. I can’t for the
life of me understand how an Intelli
gent comunity could net in this crazy
manner, and over nothing, at that
The fact that we did not get the
Copper Hiver route selected was not
the fault of the Cordova delegation in
Washington. There were two factors
that worked against us. First, the
Morgan-Guggenheim people asked a
higher price than Secretary Lane was
willing to pay. The other principal
reason was that many Democratic
; Senators and Congressmen were afraid
of the effect it would have on the
Democratic party If the Guggenheim
oad were purchased by the Presi
| dent I understand that many
called on the President and pro
tested. and this must have influenced
the President’s final determination. I
am satisfied that Secretary Lane fully
appreciates the great resources of the
Copper Hiver country and if the mat
ter had been left entirely to him to
\ decide I believe he would have taken
over the Copper Hiver road; and 1
- have a strong opinion that this will
yet be done. Unless It can de demon
| strated that the Broad Pass country
contains some real mines of conse
(luence this summer, 1 feel morally
certain that Congress will not appro
priate money to build north of the
Matanuska. There are members ol
the House Appropriations Committer
who are familiar with the prospects
for tonnage on both routes and I am
certain that there will be strong ob
lection to extending the rosul beyond
the coal field unless there is sufficient
prospective tonnage to make the road
Pay operating expenses. From the pres
ent showing the eward roa< will run
behind from five to Severn hundred
thousand dollars annually-. Should
the government not take the Coppei
Hiver road, the present owners wtl
be compelled to build into the Bering
coal and extend the main line to save
their present large investment.
Now don t lose heart or get colt
feet, for you are located at the natu
ral outlet for the most substantia
resources of Alaska, and I am curtail
In my own mind that around th<
shores of Orca Bay will he the larges
population In Alaska
“But this last optlmHitic opinion li
based <*i the assumption that the pecj
pie of Cordova and of the Coppe
Hiver region will conm to their s«nse
anti work Intelligently to this end.
If an individual attempts to start
trouble in your community hereafter
boycott, prosecute and persecute him
and make his life miserable. Uphold
the hands of the enterprising fellow
every time, and effectually stop this
tempest-in-a-teapot business. Harry
I appeal to your good sense in this
matter and hope that you will act as
peacemaker and that the people will
soon be working shoulder to shoulder
for our community interests.
“With best regards to all. As far as
I know all are my friends and 1 trust
that all will drop their foolish, silly
quarrels and be friends. Life is short.
Why waste our brief days in such an
unpleasant and unprofitable occupa
tion. I want to be with you, but f
can't outline my plans yet as so many
things have to be considered, but my
wife and I are crazy to get back.”

! DELEGATE FINDS
ANGLER’S PARADISE
Since his return to Fairbanks a
week ago, Delegate Wickersham has
been telling a fish story that should
make anglers from the states look
upon this part of Alaska as a fisher
man's paradise.
This ideal fishing stream is the
Clearwater, a stream which empties
int othe Tanana river about 13 miles
above McCarty. It was there that
Mr. Wickersham spent a little time
while being held up at McCarty on
account of bad roads.
The two things that combine to
make this little stream perfect for
fishing are the clearness of the water
and the great supply of fish. It is
asserted by Mr. Wickersham that an
angler can sit on the bank and catch
just the fish he wants. If a small
fish comes after the bait, the angler
simply pulls the hook out of the wa
ter and drops It near a big fish, for
they may be seen in the water to a
great depth.
In this creek are white fish and
grayling. Thus, If a man has a lik
ing for white fish, he can catch only
those, while if he wants grayling he
catches them. Mr. Wickersham ex
plained tliat after he had caught a
bush ?1 or more of fish the sport
ceased to interest him, because it was
too easy. Ju8t as fast as the hook
was baited and thrown into the
stream, a fish jumped for it and it was
landed.—Fairbanks Citizen.

THEATRICAL CIRCUIT
OF ALASKA TOWNS
The Critic, devoted to theatrical af
fairs, recognizes that the time is soon
coming when Alaska will be included !
in a circuit. After reviewing Alaskan
conditions, and the fact that many
new towns will be built, and the old
ones increase rapidly in population,
it says:
“That theatrical managers will
watch developments in this northern
country is evidenced by the amount
of Interest they tire exhibiting at the
present time. Already it is the sub
ject of much comment among the the
atrical wiseacres. One thing they
feel is sure and that is that Alaska
before many years will have an estab
lished theatrical circuit that will com
mand the respect of the big manag
ers.
“At present the largest company
that has toured the nortii is the Ju
venile Bostonians, who are now booked
for their second annual tour. This
company has toured far into the in
terior of Alaska and has twice played
a the southeastern section of that
country, and in all respects the re
sults were perfectly satisfactory.
“During the past few years several
smnll repertoire companies have made
the trip, and they report that small,
snappy companies with repertoires of
up to-date plays can make a success
ful tour of the country during the
proper season.
"A fact that has been overlooked by
a lot of people is that the towns of
Alaska are in many instances provid
ed with halls adequate to the playing
of ordinary repertoire. For the most
part they are provided with stages
and equipped with scenery and elec
tric lights.”
