The second call the fire department
received yesterday was due to a blaze

loss.
T. Tanaka, the Japanese proprietor

Charles E. Herron, defeated candidate

George C. Hazelet will leave on to- J
night’s *steamer for Seattle, Where he j
has been called for a conference with |
Falcon Joslin, president of the Bering 2
River Coal Company, which plans on •
extensive operations of its coal mine. *
•
A motor truck road is now being built %
from Trout creek to Bering lake. The •
highway will be used for the purpose 2
of hauling coal from the mines to the 2
lake, where it will be iplaced on two 2
seagoing barges recently purchased, 2
and conveyed to the towns along the 2
coast for market. The company is •
also building a towboat at Seattle, 2
which will leave there for Katalla J
about June 1. 2
Mr. Hazelet will proceed from Se- 1
attle to Chicago, where he will attend 2<
the Republican national convention on •
A ’
June 6 as one of the two delegates 2
®
elected at the recent primary to repre- •
! sent this territory in the selection of a 2
presidential nominee. He is also a 2
•
member of the committee appointed •
some time ago by Chairman Will Hays 2
to draft suggestions to be submitted 2
to the committee on resolutions, which •
will be embodied in the party’s plat- 2
form for the coming election. 2
Notwithstanding the fact that the 2
Seattle-Alaskans have pledged the two 2
•
votes of this territory to a certain •
presidential candidate, Mr. Hazelet de- 2
dares most emphatically that he has 2
nnade no pledges of support, and has 2
not as yet fully determined whom he 2
will cast his vote for at the conven- 2
tion, and will not do so until he ar- 2
•
rives on the scene and learns who is f
the best man for the party to put for- •
ward as its standard-bearer.

•
Alaskans have no lambkins to 2
gambol o’er the flowery meadows; no 2
doves (.to bill and coo in the flower- •
ing hedges; no rustic lovers to wander 2
down shady lanes; but when the rat- •
tie and clank of the snow shovel 2
reverberates through the land we 2
know spring is here, and start a still •
hunt for our B. V. D.’s—Valdez 2
