From private sources, however, it
has been learned that there is little

gratifying to learn flint a careful study
ol the situation at home has brought
the conviction that instead of a Wick

will go i »r Delegate Sulzer. It is esti

Wick Denied His Own
The impression gained from hear
ing a Wickersham speech is well il
lust rated by a contributor to the Fair
banks Citizen, who gives the follow
ing reasons "Why We Are for Him”:
"Mr Wickersham'.- able and elo
quent h* t ire at the Auditorium has
earned for him our ardent support.
"We are for him
"Why?
"Because In* invented Alaska
"Fverv man possessing a grain of
common sense or decency, after hear
ing him lecture, must acknowledge the
righteousness of his claim.
“Only the jealousy and envy of Dem
ocratic federal officials, their crass
stupidity and partisanship, has pr*
vented him from obtaining a patent to
the whole territory from Barrow to
Ketchikan. Of this we have been con
vinced by the facts, adduced by him
i?< his lecture
"Only a very small part of what is
due him for his unselfish devotion to
the “interests" of Alaska has reached
his pockets (via federal treasury!.
"What reward was It for his self
sacrifice in withdrawing from the
practice of law in Tacoma to admin
ister justice in Alaska that he should
have had only eighteen years’ salary
on, of the* Fnited States treasury?
"Think of it! Only eighteen years

"By every rule* of gratitude and
right he ought to have a patent to

FIVE MEN HAVE
CLOSE CALL TO
MEETING DEATH
Am a result of an accident to tin
hoisting machinery on 1- below Fair
banks creek, three nu-n are in the
hospital suffering from a severe shak
ing up and bruises indicted by a fall
from tin- top of tin- shaft to its bot
tom. a distance of 11 u feet. That they
and two others were not killed out
right is considered a miracle.
The crew in the drift, composed of
Win. Anderson. Mike Kelli,h. Merger
Carlson. Klmei* Johnson and Victor
Swanbeck. were being lowered to tin
bottom of the shaft in tin* bucket,
when, without warning, something
gave way in the engine room and the
bucket and men rushed downward to
tin* bottom of the shaft. With the
exception of Johnson all were ren
dered unconscious by the fall, the
( abb* uncoiling from the drum falling
on top of them. As soon as in* could
collect himself Johnson started to
uncoil the cable from around his per
son and to extricate his unfortunate
comrades from the positions in which
they had fallen. Several picks, which
were in the bucket and which had
been newly pointed, were scattered
around the bottom of the shaft and
that none of tin- men were severely
injured from this source alone is re
markable.
John Swanbeck. who was at the
hoist at tlic time of tin* accident, at
once gave the alarm and within a
short time a hand windlass was rigged
up and the men brought to the sur
face. Medical help was telephoned
for and an auto pressed into service
to tiring the men to town. On an
examination it was found that none
of tin* men had broken bones, although
all of them had received a severe
shake up Johnson was able to he
around town yesterday, plainly show
ing the effects of the fall by his badly
scratched face and a place in the side
orf his jaw where one of the pick
m>ints bad struck. It will he several
days before the men in the hospital
will be able to he about again - Fair
banks Citizen.
