FORTY MILLION
BUCKS PASSED
UP BY ERWIN
United States Marshal L. T. Erwin
of Fairbanks, Alaska, receiver of the
land office there, who traveled to
San Francisco as one of the six dele
l^ltes the Democrats were entitled to
send to the convention, is going tack
by way of Ranger and Washington, D.
C. He visited here for another look
at the country where he passed up a
chance to make forty million, of
that, later.
The “judge” is a Palmer man and
cast his ballot for the attorney gen
eral, head of the department under
which Mr. Erwin works as a govern
ment officer, as long as the fighting
Quaker’s name was before the con
vention. That was until the fortieth.
PALMER MAN—FOR COX
^ He is eminently satisfied with the
choice of the party, he said, believ
ing in a man “who has done things,”
and will do all he can to further the
cause of Governor Cox. His influence
will be all that he will be able to give
the Democratic candidate for Alas
kans are not given the ballot on the
presidential race. They are entitled
to vote on congressmen, and have
, ^representation at the. national conven
tions but do not ballot on the presi
dent, because they are residents of i
a territory, not yet a state.
To return to his lost fortune in
the Ranger field.
“If you ever saw a fool abroad in
the land, then you’re looking at one
^ right now,” he stated solemnly. ‘I
came to this section in 1880, at the
request of a friend who had pur
chased 20,000 acres in the Strawn
section for $16,000 and wanted me
to take a half interest in it.
“It was a land of chaparral, jack
rabbits and deer, and to me, coming
from Georgia, it looked too wild. I
said ‘No’ and went back to Georgia.”
The judge sighed a ponderous sigh
and then laughed with hearty good
nature.
FOUR COMMISSIONS
»» Judge Erwin claims to be the one
man living who has had four sep
arate presidential commissions, two
under Grover Cleveland and two
under President Wilson. He was ap
pointed a postmaster in Tennessee
when Cleveland first was elected
president and during Cleveland’s sec
ond term was Indian agent for the
Yakima reservation in Washington.
He was appointed United States
marshal by President Wilson and re
appointed when Wilson was re-elect
ed president.
Judge Erwin is also one of two men
to hold federal offices, that of mar
shal and receiver of the land office.
The marshal at Nome, Alaska, is the
other.
Lillian Hill, former Alaskan, Ran
ger pioneer and of the Times family
since it started, practiced in the
judges court in Alaska, and accord
ing to him, never lost a case.
4Miss Hill is in the office of H. H.
Adams, geologist, Marsten building.
“I told Mr. Adams that he not only
had an efficient stenographer, but a
clever attorney as well, Lillian never
lost a case In our court, because we
always decided them before she tried
them,” the judge explained laugh
ingly.
COUSIN OF GOVERNOR DORSEY
Judge Erwin is a cousin of Gov
ern01’ J. C. Dorsey of Georgia. He
is on a trip from San Francisco to
Washington, D. C. before returning
to Fairbanks by way of Seattle.
He will drop in at Quebec, also,
to “put my foot on a rail, blow the
foam off and feel like a gentleman
once more before I die.”—Ranger,
Texas, Times.
INDENTURED LABORERS
TO RELIEVE SHORTAGE
PAPEETE Tahiti, Aug. 7 (by As
sociated Press).—Attempts are being
made to relieve Tahiti’s labor short
age through a new law authorizing
importation of indentured labor. It is
planned to import several hundred
laborers from French Indo-China col
onies soon.
Labor is scarce because most of the
natives own and work their own land
and Chinese who have come onto the
island have turned to merchandising.
Native soldiers while in France
learned the principles of trade union
ism and are applying them here.
Sixty delegates are expected from
the British Isles, fourteen from Aus
tralia, seven from New Zealand, six
from South Africa, four from India,
three from Newfoundland and one
each from Jamaica, Ceylon, Egypt,
the Straits Settlements, Hongkong
and Malta. Twenty Canadian dele
gates will attend.
LEAGUERS WILL VISIT
JAPAN DURING WINTER
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7 (by Associat
ed Press).—Japanese baseball men
are making elaborate plans for en
tertaining American and National
league players who are scheduled to
tour the far east this fall, according
to Tom Tominaga, representative
here of Yumito Kushibiki, Japanese
baseball promoter.
According to present plans they will
leave San Francisco in October.
SHALE FROM SALT LAKE
USED FOR PAVEMENT
LOGAN CITY, Utah, Aug. 7 (by As
sociated Press).—Shale, or decom
posed waste cast up by the Great
Salt Lake, was used in construction
of a fourteen mile stretch of highway
near here recently. Nearly 65,000 tons
were used to lay a surface eight
inches deep. The shale was soft and
pliable when taken from the shore, but
hardened to cement-like firmness
when rolled and exposed to the sun.
