On September 17th, a one-hund
red pound sack of sugar, which had
been ordered from George B. Halge
son, by Edward Hestnes of Skagway,
without first obtaining a permit;
from theDistrict Food Administrator
at Skagway, was confiscated by the
latter official and sold to a mer
chant in Skagway for the sum of $9, |
which amount was turned over to I
the Skagway branch of the Ameri
can Red Cross.
This action was taken by the Fed
t eral Food Administrator for Alaska
because it involved the question of
hoarding and buying sugar without
a special permit.
Edward Hesnes is a section fore
man on the White Pass & Yukon
Railroad, living at Skagway. He
has a family of five. On July 29
, he was given a special permit to
j buy twenty-five pounds of sugar
i for canning, and a permit on August
I 19 for canning purposes, and on
| September 7 was issued his sugar
ration card, allowing him ten pounds
I of sugar per month POr his family!
J yet in addition to all this, notwith
standing instructions from the Skag
way Food Administrator, he pro
ceeds to buy sugar and flour in the
' States without first procuring the
necessary permits. During the month
! of March he procured ■ a hundred
1 pounds of sugar' and two hundred
i pounds of wheat flour from Halge
I son, of Seattle, without permit be
j ing issued. The sack of sugar con
| fiscated on September 17 arrived
i from Seattle on the steamer Hum
l boldt, September 11. Iq answer to
questions put to him by F. J. Vande
wall, district food administrator of
iskag’vay, Hestnes admitted that he
: wrote the merchant Halgeson, of
Seattle, and asked him to send
1 as much sugar as he could. Several
hours after this conversation he ap
proached the food administrator and
■ said he thought he would send the
sugar back to the dealer in Seattle.
He was directed to hold the sugar
subject to instructions from the
; federal food administrator in Ju
neau. When the Juneau office was
apprised of what Kestnes had done,
it authorized the confiscation of the
sugar, its sale, and the turning over ,
: of the proceeds to the American j
Red Cross. j
! Inquiries regarding Edward Hest
i nes developed the fact that, ap- !
parently he is not in sympathy with
the cause of the United States and
does not take kindly to the activities ;
of the Food Administration, Red
; Cross and other war institutions, i

same records the evidence given at
Craig and Seldovia by qualified
voters who were not allowed to vote.
The records were compiled by those
appointed to investigate the delegate
election frauds claimed by Wicker
sham, and, the facts thus disclosed
went to prove, Mr. Grigsby said, that
it was the Wickersham party, and
not Sulzer's party who attempted
to perpetrate frauds in connection
with the election.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
and in view of the fact that the
audience had sat through a long
picture show, Mr. Grigsby said he
he would have to curtail his remarks
and postpone for another day many
points on which he would like to
speal? to the Nenana voters.
In concluding, Mr. Grigsby stated
that Mr. Sulzer had done for Alaska
more in the short time he was in
Congress than Wickersham ever did’,
and promised to speak to the people
about this on Wednesday evening.
A remark made by Mr. Wicker
sham regarding Mr. Sulzer’s ancestry I
was hardly believable, he said, and !
he would have rejected it as untrue j
had he not been told of it by gentle- j
men who had heard it in Nenana. j
He said that the statement was j
meant to cast an aspersion on Sulzer j
and doubt his loyalty and as such !
was an act unworthy of even Wick-1
ersham, whose abusive tactics in cam- !
paigning were well known. He sev- j
erely scored people who are char- !
acter assassins as a menace to any :
community and characterized as;
cowardly, dastardly, despicable and i
most contemptible for any man to i
accuse another of disloyalty without
good and sufficient cause. If such
a man had information that would ■
lead to another’s conviction of dis-1
loyalty then he thought he should
have recourse to the law anti not'
go about blasting his character. Mr.
Sulzer’s father, he said, came from
a part of Germany near the Switzer- 1
land border 48 years ago and the
reason for his coming was to escape
from the oppression of the Prussian !
government. Mr. Sulzer and his
brothers served in the Spanish-1
American war, where two of his I
brothers were killed in action.
He spoke of the opposition of!
Wickersham to the Sulzer bill which j
sought to amend the Alaska game
laws, and held up to ridicule the evi-j
