TO THE
Republican Voters
FOURTH DIVISION
OF ALASKA
In presenting myself to you and the voters of the
Territory of Alaska as a candidate for Republican
National Committeeman, 1 desire to say that it was
only after repeated and urgent requests by my
friends thruout the Territory that I consented to
place my name before you as a candidate.
Having lived continuously in Alaska for 22 years,
devoting my time to the mining, merchandising and
fishing interests of the Territory, and never having
held any political office during that period, I feel that
my knowledge of the various interests and needs of
the Territory will justify you in supporting my can
didacy for Republican National Committeeman by
your vote at the Primary Election to be held on
April 27, 1920.
1 believe in Alaskans holding all of the offices in the
Territory; in the opening up, and development of, all
the resources of the Territory in a just and fair man
ner to all concerned; in the absolute control of the
fisheries of Alaska by the people of Alaska; in the
establishment of the wood pulp and paper industry ;
in securing appropriations sufficient for more and
adequate transportation and mail facilities; in provid
ing more and better aids to navigation, and the build
ing of trails and roads for developing new country
thruout the Territory.
I am not allied with, nor responsible to, any so-called
political faction in Alaska, and if elected Republican
National Committeeman 1 will recommend for office
only bona fide Alaskans and Republicans—being
guided by the wishes of the Republicans in each divi
sion as to the policy to be pursued.
Soliciting your earnest co-operation and support,
1 am, respectfully yours,
J. C. M’BRIDE,
Candidate for Republican National Committeeman.

WILL GET MAILS
There is a feeling among the
I owners of roadhouses on the Broad
Pass trail that Interior mails will
be routed by way of Anchorage and
; the Government railroad next win
!ter, according to Billy Butler, wh»
; returned from the coast end of steel
'last week, having made the round
i trip in less than a week with his
Upeeedy dog team. He reports that
several of the roadhouse owners
now have building material on the
ground and will erect horse stables
and additions to their establishments
i during the summer, so as to be
j ready for the accommodation of in
j creased travel next winter.
| Carlson’s Broad Pass roadhouse,
;42 miles south of Healy, is one of
the places which will be greatly im
proved during the summer, the plans
of the owner being to build a large
stable and to fix up his place gen
' erally. The logs for the new build
ing are already on the ground.
j Gagnon & Copeland, who recently
! established a place on the Nenana
river 18 miles north of Carlson’s,
also have logs on the ground ready
'for building operations, and will
.have a very complete establishment
i by the time travel starts next fall,
^hey also will have a stable for
horses, in addition to dog kennels.
!
The Canyon roadhouse, owned by
Mrs. Clara Allred, eight miles south
’of the end of steel, is another place
which will be greatly improved dur
ing the summer. Lumber and logs
and other building material already
have been delivered, and building
operations will start within a very
short time. When the improvements
have been made, the Canyon road
; house will be one of the largest and
best equipped places on the trail.

TO THE
Republican Voters
or THE
Territory of Alaska
In aspiring to the position of National Committeeman and
asking for your endorsement at the coming primary election, 1
feel that you are entitled to a declaration from me of the prin
ciples for which I stand and of the general policy to be observed
and followed in the event that it shall be my fortune to be your
choice.
Firstly: I stand for the primary law as the best means of
securing to the people of the Territory the opportunity of a free
and honest expression in the selection of candidates for office;
and I am unalterably opposed to any machine which shall tend
either directly or indirectly to undermine such law or to domi
nate the political affairs of the Territory. (
Secondly: I believe in “Alaska for Alaskans,” and that Fed
eral patronage belongs to bona fide residents, and pledge myself
to use the influence of the position to secure to its competent
and qualified Republican residents the appointment to such posi
tions; and I commend the proposition of securing to bona fide
residents of each division appointments to the Federal offices
therein.
Thirdly: I am in favor of a territorial form of government
which shall secure to the people through their legislature the
right to exercise all the powers of government that are usual
and customary, and have been accorded to other Territories in
the United States.
Fourthly: I endorse the eight-hour day and pledge my sup
port in behalf of such legislation as may tend to secure and pre
serve its benefits.
Fifthly: I pledge myself to use mv best endeavors in behalf
of all the people of the Territory, and to consult as fully as possi
ble their will and disposition in the matter of Federal appoint
* ments and to endorse only those men whose qualifications and
character for honesty and integrity shall be a guarantee of effi
ciency in office.

modate a considerable volume of!
travel. Rodrigue owns the Healy j
River roadhouse, the pioneer estab
lishment at the end of steel.
Butler was informed that the
commission plans to have steel laid
to Riley creek before Christmas,
and on the other end of the line
the steel probably will have reached
Hurricane gulch by the Christmas
holidays, which will cut the distance
between steel to about 00 miles and
lessen the cost of mail carrying
very materially should the postoffice
department decide to route the mail
by way of Broad Pass during the
coming winter.
Butler found the trail in excel
lent condition, notwithstanding the
lateness of the season. On the re
turn trip he came through Xenana
canyon, and found the going good
all the way. The canyon trail went
out on the ninth of April last year,
more than two weeks earlier than
this year.
From what Butler learned along
the route, the commission will have
a good wagon road between ends of
steel before snow comes again* in
which event horses will, to a large
extent, take the place of dogs next
winter in the travel between Xe
nana and Anchorage. The trip be
tween steel should be made easily
with horses in two days.
Butler met a number of former 1
Interiorites on the coast side of the
pass. Luke Radigan. a member of j
the Fairbanks postoffice staff under )
Postmaster Si Pepper, has a job as I
timekeeper at Hurricane gulch, and 1
Billy Mellish, formerly of Xenana, S
has a similar position at Deadhorse. i
Dr. E. M. Spaulding, formerly of j
Fairbanks, is now in charge of an t
emergency hospital at Mile 269, j
where he is comfortably established |
with his wife. Red McConnell was j
met at Talkeetna, where he was re- j
covering from a ten days' siege of *
the flu.
The Xenana river is open at Riley
creek and the freighting in that dis
trict is practically over.
Butler left for Fairbanks on Sat
urday night by way of the river
trail, accompanied by Tom McKin

BOIL THE WATER.
While every precaution is bein';
taken to guard the Commission well
against contamination during the
approaching high water period, as
public health officer 1 advise the
boiling of all water to be used for
drinking and kitchen purposes wher
ever obtained I also advise against
the use of water taken from either
river for above purposes, at any
time, without boiling.

WHAT TO USE TO
PREVENT APPENDICITIS
N'enana people should know simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as
mixed in Adler-i-ka, flushes the EN
TIRE bowel tract so completely that
appendicitis is prevented. ONE
SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves ANY
CASE sour stomach, gas or constipa
tion because it removes ALL foul
matter which clogged and poisoned
your system. The INSTANT action
surprises both doctors and patients.
