WICKERSHAM RETURNS
TO REPUBLICAN FOLD
A telegram from Fairbanks says:
James Wickersham, the delegate to
congress from Alaska, who was elect
ed as a Progressive Democrat at the
last election, was a Bull Mooser the
election previous, an Independent Re
publican prior to that, and an old
guard republican as long as he could
hold a political Job, announced him
self as a republican today and says he
Is with the party again because it has
been purged of all bad men.
The announcement did not come as
a surprise to politicians in this section
as Wickersham has been looking for
a chance to Jump back into Republi
can ranks.
The regular republicans are sure to
make a fight to keep him and his fol
lowers, who enter every political pri
mary in the territory to capture It for
him, from securing control of the or
ganization. It is understood here that
Wickersham has no standing in Wash
— i —.
ington with the Republicans and that
the members of the Pacific coast con
gressional delegations all distrust him
and will no longer aid him in his
efforts to build up a political machln*
in the north. I
Wickersham is classed as a Demo
crat In the last division of congress,
and In writing his biography for the
congressional directory failed to an
nounce himself as a member of any
party.

COALFIELDSTOBE
YEAR
The government will do more land
surveying In Alaska this coming sea
son than has been In the north for
many years. It Is planned to have
the Matantiska and Bering River coal
fields surveyed and platted and also
have the Nenana coal fields mapped
and cut up into sections.
The government’s experts are also
to mnke an Investigation of each dis
trict for the government and large res
ervations of the best coal fields in
Alaska are to be made by the Inter
ior department
After the government has made Its
reservations the balance of the coal
fields will be open to lease under the
form of lease which Is to be drafted
by Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane.
The form of the lease is giving the
secretary much trouble. The first
drnfts made by the attorneys for the
government were submitted to pos
sible lessees, who Immediately In
formed the secretary that the form was
so strict that no man could afford to
invest thousands of dollars In opening
the mines. Since that time dozens ^
of different draffs of the proposed con- (
tract between the government and the
coal operators have been drawn, but
so far none are satisfactory.
Several applications have been
made for coal lands but all of the ap
plicants insist that the terms of the '
lease must be such as to justify them j
in spending the hundreds of thousands
of dollars necessary to open and de
velop the coal claims and also Insure
a fair profit on the investment. They
also wish some restrictions placed up
on the competition of the government
which aims to enter the commercial
markets* of the const or at least will
withdraw the government's business
from the market and will supply gov
ernment needs from a government
operated mine.
