(By J. J. Underwood)
With the election more than a year
, In the future, there already is a fine
crop of candidates for the position of
delegate to congress from Alaska.
Eleven candidates alrendy are preen
ing and pluming themselves for the
eoniest and several others are said to
be In a receptive mood. Nearly all of
them, however, ar chasing their can
didacies on the retirement of the pres
ent Incumbent, James Wickershnm.
Because of the widely scattered con
dition of the people and the Immense
size of the territory, politics in Alaska
is a kind of long distance game. Loco
motion by dog team and river poling
boat and by hoot is not as expeditious
ns the traveling facilities in the United
States and Alaska, therefore, does no!
lend itself strategically to short,
whirlwind campaigns. Preparations
must be made at least a year In ad
vance of the primaries.
For this reason a number of candi
dates are already speculating on their
chances, while Wickersham, regarded
as the stumbling block to their suc
cess, is sitting quietly and giving a
good imitation of a wooden Indian as
as far as his future plans are con
cerned.
On the Republican side the battle in
the primaries, which will be held next
March or April, will be between B. F.
Millard or Dan Sutherland, senators
in the territorial legislature, who are
pondering on the wisdom of offering
their services to the national body, as
also are John E. Rustgard, former
mayor of Nome’and federal attorney
at Juneau; E. B. Collins, of Fair
banks, speaker of the territorial house
of representatives; Arthur Shoup, a
member of that body, and William A.
Gilmore, a former candidate. Either
of the latter two, it is understood
would be willing to take the job of
governor of Alaska If a Republican
administration is chosen in November,
liMui
The Democratic side of the controv
ersy is not quite as rich in prospective
candidates, but doubtless many others
will look the field over with a view of
gauging the possibility of election
before the snow flies. Among those
who have been considered are Gov
ernor J. F. A. Strong, who is regarded
as the one man in Alaska who can
beat Wickersham; Robert Jennings,
the federal judge of the First division,
and a former candidate; Charles Sul
zer, a brother of the former governor
of New York and a member of the
Alaska senate; Territorial Senator
Frank A. Aldrich of Nome, Represen
tative William Burns of Nome. As
Governor Strong and Judge Jennings
already hold Important positions in
the territory, it is thought they will
not enter the contest unless political
expediency should require them to do
so.
Everything, however, is at present
based on the supposition that Wicker
sham will not again be a candidate.
He i« said to have told a number of
friends that if the Alaska railroad bill
passed he would quit politics and
again enter the practice of law. In
any event, it Is understood that he Is
now trying to gain control of the Re
publican organization in the territory,
but as he is regarded as a bolter it is
not likely that old-time Republicans
will welcome him into their ranks with
any great degree of warmth. Should
he decide to refuse to become a can
didate again, it is quite likely that he
will campaign the country in the in
terests of D. A. Sutherland, his
strongest henchman. However, the
election will not be held until Novem
ber, 1916, and before that time definite
changes may be expected.

com CLAIMS III
In a decision rendered Involving 40
coal claims in the Bering river coal
fields, forming part of what is known
locally as the Green-Young group, the
Juneau land office recommended the
rejection of the applications for
patent for each of the claims.
These claims were located In 1903
and 1904 by J. H. Young and M. A.
Green and formed part of approxi
mately 190 claims located under th#
direction OT these two men.
On January 3, 1913 the government
submitted charges against these
claimants and ordered a hearing on
them. The first charges were that the
claims were not located in the inter
ests of and for the use and benefit of
the people whose names had been
used; but that they were located in
tiie interests of Harry White, George
W. H. White and others of Seattle,
and one J. W. Idey of Portland, Ore.
The government also charged that
mines had not been opened on the
claims as required under the Alaska
coal land law.
The Juneau land office found that
the charges had been sustained
against ail of the claims.
The claim of L. A. Thurston, known
as the Glen, is also included in the
decision. The charges that a coal
mine had not been opened on this
claim were found by the land office to
be not sustained, and they recom
mended that this claim be granted a
patent.
The claims Included in this group
and located by Green and Young in
clude the most valuable coal lands in
the Bering river fields. The records
presented on the hearings of these
claims show that a number of veins
of very good coal, some of which is
semi-anthracite and as high as 20 feet
in thickness, are located on these
lands.
Very little work has ever been
done on these claims with the excep
tion of the work done by T. P. Mc
Donald on the Seattle claim for which
a patent was recently issued, and upon
the Tacoma and St. Ixiuis claims, both
•f which have been relinquished by
the claimants and the money paid to
the government has been returned.
