THE RIGGS REBELLION.
If every Caucasian made adult m ;
Alaska should rise up in rebellion^
the organization would have little,
more than half the strength of the |
Boilermakers’ union of Seattle. It'
is not surprising, then, comments,
Editor Ed Morrissey, in the Ketchi
kan Daily Chronicle, that Governor
Riggs should take such care to warn
the world of the Red menace of the 1
North and give Alaska such a black
eye. It is not surprising, not a
bit; nor is anything that the es
teemed chief executive of the Ter
ritory may do. Since he went South
a few months ago lie has done so
many things beyond comprehension
that there is nothing new he can
do that will surprise the people of
Alaska. Even a statement by him.
declaring himself czar of Alaska,
would be received with the same
laugh that greets every official ut
teranee.
Alaska, in its fifty years under
the American flag, has had many
setbacks, but it is doubtful if any
single individual in that half cen
tury ha* spread as much hurtful
propaganda as the man who draws
down $7,000 and a mansion and
who travels about the country large
ly at Government expense, spreading
his ill-founded opinions.
The whole affair and his record
would be laughable, were it not for
the fact that the hurt is too seriou
to every person in the Territory.
As Governor of the Territory, the
people in the States, not knowing
him as he is known in the North,
pay heed to what he- says and even
the departments at Washington take
him seriously, it is evident.
As he can do no good for the
Territory in Washington, for he and
his shipping board are but wasting
$300,000 of Alaska's money, or a
substantial part of it, the sooner ho
returns to Alaska, where he will bo
taken at his worth, the better ii
will be for himself, the administra
tion which he represents, and th<
people of Alaska.
And when he does return, he wil
find the loyal American Alaskai
still in control and very unappreci
ative of his joke of the Riggs Re
bellion.
HYDER.
That the Hyder mining camp i
sure to make a good showing durin
the coming year, and that it wi!
develop into a permanent and pros
perous mining camp, is the opinio
of several veteran traveling men o
the North who have stampede
themselves and who have seen thoi
sands of others pursue the elusiv
paystreak. These include Joe M<
herin, John Barrett, M. C. Rugt
and John F. Chamberlain.
‘•It is certain that there will fc
at least three good mines there,
said Joe Meherin recently to
Ketchikan reporter, “and it has bee
my experience in the North th;
such resources will support a goc
town. Permanent buildings are b
ing put up, streets are being pi
in condition, and generally the tow
has the appearance found in tl
prosperous mining camps of the J
N'orth."

SEWARD SECRETARY IS
PEEVED AT COMMISSION
“I believe that we should take :
the bull by the horns, go to the mat
and see what is wrong with the j
present system of the Mears-Gov- j
emment railroad,” declared Secre- •
tary H. E. Ellsworth, of the Seward !
Chamber of Commerce, in a state- j
ment published recently in the Sew- j
ard Gateway.
‘‘Meats has taken about every- j
thing he could away from Seward j
and moved it to Anchorage; prom-j
ised to run trains on schedule, and !
then, when a few government men i
were passengers on steamers, held j
the trains for their convenience and j
discommoded scores of real men. |
those building up the country. Em- j
ployes have been ordered to do this ■
and that, showing favor to Anchor- i
age. and many other things, includ
ing a higher freight rate from out
the line, a few miles, than prevails
from Seward to Tacoma by steamer.
These are only a few things re
ported as grievances against the
present A. E. C^ and I believe that
a grievance committee should bo
appointed to take matters up direct
with Colonel Mears.”

ALASKA ENUMERATION
IS DRAWING TO CLOSE
Arthur H. Miller, superintendent
jof the native schools, reindeer and
medical service in Alaska, and who
is also superintendent of the census
for the Territory, reported, upon
his arrival in Cordova recently:
"There is some influenza among
the natives of Unga. and Dr. Bulk
ley of Kodiak has pone to their
relief at the expense of Seward
chapter, American Red Cross.
"The natives of the south end of
Kodiak island report a (rood catch
of fur.
"The census is completed in all
the larger towns of this division^ 1
, expect the enumeration to be com
pleted in this division by May 1
except as to the Aleutian and Prib
iloff islands. Twenty enumerator
are at work.”

What / Stand For
I am a candidate for National Committeeman of the Republi
can Party to be elected April 27th. and I stand for the following
principle#:
1 am not a politician and never ran for office before. 1 belong
to no political machine or combine and am under obligations to no
clique or faction. ,
I am opposed to machine domination in Alaska and if you elect
me 1 will take mv orders from the people and nobody else.
While my home is in Anchorage, where I received the unani
mous indorsement of the Anchorage Republican Club, composed of
over one hundred fifty members. I will work for the entire Terri
tory of Alaska first, last and all the time.
If you elect me I will do my utmost to see that each locality
or division shall name the officers of that locality or division, and 1
will fight bitterly the appointment of anyone outside of Alaska
to an Alaska office.
Alaska has been my home for 23 years, winter and summer,
and I feel sure 1 know what Alaska needs.
The time has come to put an end to outside dictation in our
affairs and I believe what Alaska needs is more firesides and fewer
carpet-baggers.
The only way to rid Alaska of machine politicians is to vote
against them. People of Alaska. 1 am making this fight for you
and I want your help. You deliver the votes and I will deliver
the goods.

$125,000, a very marked increase:
over previous records.
Mr. Flory will inspect vessels for
the Alaska forestry patrol which are
now at Boston, New \ork, Rich
mond, Charleston, and perhaps New
Orleans.
QUARTZ LOOKING GOOD
IN KUSKOKWIM REGION 1
McGrath is having quite a boom
in quartz property and there are
about 200 men in the camp, reports
M. F. Murray, who recently arrived
an the coast direct from the upper
Kuskokwim, where h£ operated a
radio station for the Alaska Wire
less Telegraph company. Fourteen
shafts have been put down, he says,
and the ore is high grade, contain
ing both gold and silver; partly free
milling and partly base. Tom Ait
ken will ship from Nixon cam!)
about 800 tons of ore this season.
Nixon is about 32 miles from Mc
Grath.
