CAP. LATHROP
IS OUT FOR
LEGISLATURE
VALDEZ, June 26 (Special to the
Daily Times—Captain Austin E. Lath
rop, who is one of the oldest and best
known residents of the Third division,
has filed with the clerk of the court
as a Republican candidate for member
of the house of representatives. He
consented to the use of his name for
this office upon the urgent solicita
tion of his friends and supporters
from Anchorage, Seward, Valdez and
Cordova, where he is vitally interested
in busines affairs. Captain Lathrop
not only owns and conducts a moving
picture show in each of these com
munities, but also has hig property
interests in at least three of the above
towns.
It is generally conceded here that
Captain Lathrop’s election is assured,
as his acquaintanceship extends to the
western limits of the Third division,
I
where he was engaged in the ship
ping business in the early days.
Captain Lathrop is one of Cor
dova’s most representative and pro
gressive residents, who has been iden
tified with the growth of the town
since it was started. During this time
he has held a number of positions of
honor and trust, and always discharged
the duties incumbent upon him with
credit to himself and his constituents.
He has served several terms as coun
cilman, and also has been our mayor.
Captain Lathrop is one of the largest
property owners at Anchorage, where
he was a member of the first advisory
board of that town. He has shown
his confidence in the stability and fu
ture of Cordova by erecting here the
largest and finest theater and apai’t
§
ment building in Alaska. It is a con
crete structure, and cost about $125,
000 completed.
The election to the legislature of
men of Captain Lathrop’s ability and
far-sightedness will do much toward
securing needed remedial legislation
for this territory.

stakes. They made a record trip,
covering the 800 miles in fourteen
days. An average distance of fifty
seven miles was covered each day,
