WANTS RIGGS SELECTED
AS DEMOCRATIC LEADER
That Thornes W. Higgs, the Alaska
Railroad commissioner, has all along
contemplated making his home in
Fnlrbftnks when the route for the
railroad was agreed upon, is the opin
ion expressed by Marshal Erwin, who
arrived from the Tanana Valley yes
terday.
Just when Mr. Higgs will establish
his residence at Fairbanks the Mar
shal does not say, but he is fully sat
isfied that the commissioner will set
the down there. In fact he says that
Mr. Higgs told him as much on the
occasion of their last meeting at Wash
ington, last winter.
Marshal Erwin Is of the opinion
that should Mr. Higgs eventually de
cide to reside In Fairbanks, the Dem
ocrats of the Fourth judicial division
of the territory should make him the
» npxl national Democratic commlttee
. man.

United States Marshal Erwin ar
rived on yesterday afternoon's train
from Fairbanks, accompanied by Dep
uty Marshal Spencer, Fred Carter,
Frank Adams and Harry Cowan, as
guards. He brought seven prisoners
to Cordova for the federal peniten
tiary on McNeil's Island, near Seat
tle. The prisoners are:
William B. Clark, sentenced to
sevre five years for robbery.
M. E. Bondixon, who will serve two
years for committing polygamy.
Robert Herrold, to spend sixteen
months in the penitentiary for sell
ing liquor to natives.
Edward Farter, due to spend a year
for the same offense.
William Malland, found guilty of
stealing fox skins and sentenced to
one year and a day. The extra day
was added so that he may apply for
for a parole, as prisoners serving one
year or less are not qualified under
the prison regulations.
C. Meyers and Julius Martin are in
sane patlentB, who will be confined
in the Morningside asylum near Fort
land, where all of Alaska’s insane are
now handled under government con
tract.
Marshal Erwin will take medical
treatment while outside, and may fi
nally go to Taggert's resort in South
ern Indiana for a short stay. He
does not expect to return north until
next summer, and will likely join
Judge Bunnell on the lower river at
that time.
NO CONSTRUCTION WORK
FOR FAIRBANKS THIS YEAR
The people of this camp have been
"bulling ' themselves into the belief
that dirt would fly on this end of
the Alaska government railway this
year. With such a small appropri
ation and so much more Important
work to do on the coast end. It has
seemed impossible that construction
work could begin here this year, but
believed that it would.
Desiring that our readers might
know the truth and govern themselves
accordingly, yesterday we wired to
Thomas ltiggs, Jr., who has charge
of the railroad work in the Interior,
asking him to tell us flatly what will
be done this year. He answered im
mediately ‘‘Final Surveys," construc
tion work next year.
Govern yourselves accordingly, for
this is final.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
