Alaska Letter from Seattle
i
SEATTLE, Dee. 30—Legislat for
Alaska by the present Congress will
very probably be limited to the ap
propriations for federal activities
and to a bill permitting of home
stead entry on lands now reserved
for coal. This latter measure has
been before Congress for some time
and its passage will result in relief
to a number of homesteaders who
have settled in the Cook Inlet re
gion. The law will reserve all coal
rights but will permit of title being
granted to the surface, according to
J. L. McPherson, assistant to the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Mr. McPherson, who has just re
turned from Washington, D. C., pre
dicts, however, that the next Con-;
gross will enact laws that will per
mit Alaska to develop. Mr. McPher
son went to the national capital on
December 1 ait the request of Con
gressman Charles F. Curry, chair
man of the house committee on ter
ritories, who is anxious to have
hearings on the Alaska development
board measure begin as soon as pos
sible.
Finding, however, that it would be
probably impossible to complete the
hearings before the committees of
both houses during the short session
and secure action by both the house
and senate, it was deemed inadvis
able by Chairman Curry, and Sen
ator Harry New, of Indiana, who is
chairman of the senate committee
on the territories, to begin the hear
ings at this session, as the worn
would all have to be done over by
the new Congress, and there will be
a number of changes in the person
nel of these committees. It is Chair- j
man Curry’s intention to begin the I
hearings as soon as possible after ■
the organization of the new Con
gress is completed.
Although no word has come from
Senator Harding as to when the ex
tra session will be called, it is the
concensus of opinion of both the
leaders of the senate and house that
it will be probably the middle of
March.
It is the intention of Alaska’s
friends in Congress to initiate a
policy that will result in local in
dustries in Alaska, and in the en
couragement of settlement by a
home-building citizenry, and further,
to provide for a coordinated admin
istration of federal affairs in Alaska
that can be held responsible for re
sults.
Mr. McPherson had a conference
with President-elect Harding at his
home in Marion and presented him
with a fine album of Alaska views,
on behalf of the Alaska bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
and invited him to visit Seattle and
the territory. Senator Harding re
marked: “It has been a dream of
mine to visit Alaska.” Mr. McPher
son will return to Washington, D.
C.„ when the senate and house com
mittees take up the Alaska develop
ment board measure at the next
session.
.Three men convicted of murder
two Mexicans and a Canadian, were
brought to Seattle from Ketchikan
recently by United States Marshal |
J. M. Tanner, of Juneau. The Mexi
cans will be confined at McNeils'
Island penitentiary and the third:
man was taken to the Morningside!
hospital for the insane, near Port- j
land.
A Washington special says: The:
secretary of commerce, with the:
passive backing of the secretary of I
the navy and of the interior de-1
partment, will make an effort at j
this session of Congress to establish 1
a Government supply station at:
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, where coal, j
fuel and other supplies can be ob- j
tained by Government ships at any j
time of year. The real purpose be-!
hind this plan is to establish a
coaling base not only for naval ships!
but for the merchant marine, sur- j
vev ships and other vessels operat
ing in Northern waters.
Alaska products shipped from the
territory during the month of Nov- j
ember totaled six million dollars, as
compared with ten millions for the j
previous month. Canned salmon de- ‘
dined from a total of nine millions
in October to a little over three1
millions in November. Copper ship- j
ments for November totaled two
million dollars as against $950,000
for October.
A public association has been or
ganized at Skagway and funds are
being collected for a library.
The Pacific Fruit and Produce j
Company has established a branch j
house at Juneau.
The Alaska Sea Food Products '■
Company is discontinuing operations
of its herring cannery at Halibut
Cove, near Seldovia, for the sea
son and will send its crew to the
States. The company has packed
2,500 barrels of herring during the
past season. The Gambier Bay plant
will not be operated this season,
according to announcement made by
the Iloonah Packing Company.
Edward Sholin, fox farmer on
the mainland near Seldovia, has
leased Hogan island, near the Chi
cagof mine, to raise goats and fur
animals.
GROCERY FIRM ANNOUNCES
NEW HOURS FOR SUNDAY
Announcement is made by the
grocery firm of Fowler & Morris
that their store will not remain open
all day Sunday hereafter. ' Com
mencing tomorrow, the store will
be open only between the hours
of one and eight, and patrons who
feel that they must shop on Sun
day, are urged to call between the
hours named.
This move is preliminary to a
total suspension of business on Sun
day, providing other merchants in
the same line of business will agree
to such an arrangement.

NENANA REPUBLICANS CIVE
VOTE TO THOS. A MARQUAM
Thomas. A. Marquam, to whom
was given the indorsement of the
Ncnana Republican club on Wed
nesday night for appointment as
district judge for the Fourth divi
sion, is one of Interior Alaska's
foremost attorneys, one of the lead
ers of the Republican party in the
•territory and a sourdough citizen
of wide aquaintance and a thorough
knowledge of conditions.
Mr. Marquam came to. Alaskan in
1897, first residing on the coast and
later locating in the Interior, where
he has been engaged in the practice
of law during the past decade. He
has always been a Republican and
has taken an active part in terri
torial politics; not, however, as a
candidate for office until the pres
ent time. Mr. Marquam is the re
cognized head of the Republican
party in this division, by reason of
his progressive campaigning in the
interests of the candidacy of Dele
gate-elect Dan Sutherland, and the
fact that he holds appointment as
Republican Divisional committeeman.
He is also vice president of the
Fairbanks Republican club.
Mr. Marquam has a knowledge of !
the law which eminently qualifies!
him for the position which he is j
seeking.

berg, who lost his eyesight as a re-:
suit of drinking wood alcohol which i

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!\
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clearacross Labrador,rive months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see thcm
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
