GRUBSHORTAGE
IS REPORTED
IN KUSKOKWIM
Karl Thiel, a well known old-timer
in the interior, who operates a trading
post at Akiak, on the lower Kusko
kwim, and Charles Johnson, of Ophir,
were in Cordova yesterday on their
way to see the "bright lights on the
big outside” before the country goes
into mourning on July 1 next. Mr.
Thiel reports that he succeeded in
getting a good supply of furs, but says
there was a shortage of merchandise
in all the Kuskokwim ports, due to
the steamer Ruby not arriving last
fall with her cargo.
Mr. Thiel confirms the rumor cur
rent that “Big Bill” Davis, a former
well known Cleary creek operator,
died on his way out from his trading
post on the lower Kuskokwim last
fall.
“Big Bill” made a substantial for
tune on Cleary; later made an exten
sive world-tour and wound up in Fair
banks with a lot of travel experience
and very short of cash. Later he iyent
into the Koyukuk and spent a couple
of seasons there, but did no particular
good for himself and left for the Idit
arod section in 1910.
Bill’s streak of bad luck followed
him to the Iditarod and later to the
Georgetown stampede on the Kusko
kwim, but along in 1911 or 1912 he
invested the few remaining dollars he
had in a trading outfit and went down
to the lower Kuskokwim country
where he established a trading post.
He seems to have done well from the
first and had accumulated better than
$20,000 by last fall when failing health
started him for the outside, which
was followed by his death when only
one day out to sea.
Big Bill was a typical Alaskan, one
of those fellows who never gave up
altogether and the proof of his death
will be learned and regretted by many
of his old acquaintances all over

REPUBLICAN CLUB OF
ANCHORAGE IS AFTER
WICKERSHAM’S SCALP
Several heated verbal passages at
tended the reorganization meeting of
local republicans at the Empress club
room Saturday night, but when a
three hour session ended, harmony
had been restored, both sides agree
ing to the appointment of a commit
tee to make inquiry into certain mat
ters concerning Delegate Wfceker
sham’s letter to Secretary of the In
terior Lane. The fight, of course, oc
curred between the loyal supporters
of the delegate and those who wished
to be shown whether his present ac
tivities were for the best interests of
Alaska. Especially did the objectors
wish to know about a certain resolu
tion introduced by the delegate Feb
ruary 10, which had for its purpose
the limitation of appropriations for
Alaska railway construction to the
sum named in the original bill,
$35,000,000.
About thirty-five republicans at
tended the meeting. The delegate
found his most loyal partisans in
Chairman Thompson and Sam Mc
Niece, while the antis were repre
sented by Sam McDonald, Ray C.
Larson and Robert Courtnay. Most of
the others took a hand in the debate,
which became quite heated at times,
and Chairman Thompson had some
thing of a time in keeping down the
lid on several occasions. The honor of
naming the investigating committee
was denied the chairman, as the anti
Wickersham men wanted representa
tion on it and they feared that the
chairman might try to slip one over
on them. Hence, the committee was
selected by nominations from the
body of those present, and the selec
tions made appeared to meet the ap
proval of all.—Anchorage Times.
W. D. Gordon, superintendent of
the river division of the W. P. & Y. R.,
who returned from the south a few
days ago, says that the outlook for a
large tourist travel to the north this
year is bright. He says that all the
tickets for one boat for the “Midnight
Sun Excursion” have been sold and
they have started selling accommoda
tions on the second boat.

MEXICAN NATIONAL HYMN
PLAYED FOR SECRETARY
-«
EL PASO, April 21 (by Associated
Press).—Secretary of War Newton 11
Baker is fond of music. When he was
here recently on an inspection of bor
der camps and post, Colonel Austin
Mora, commander of Juarez, Mexico,
opposite here, sent his military band
of 80 pieces to play for the secretary
of war. The concert was given in
the lobby of the hotel where Secre
tary Baker was staying.
“That’s fine—great,” he said, "Ask
the bandmaster to come here. I want
to thank him,” the secretary said.
Following the Mexican custom, the
captain commanding the band asked
Mr. Baker what piece he would perfer
played next.
“Please play the Mexican (National
Hymn,” Secretary Baker replied.
The Mexican band stood while the
crowd in the hotel lobby hared their
heads and officers stood at salute as
the big hand played the National
Hymn as it has never been heard
played on this border.
