BEHIND HECKMAN
j Senator J. R. Heckman, of Ketch
ikan, one of the foremost Republ
icans of the Territory, has been en
idcrsed by the Republicans of Cor
|dova and Ketchikan for national
j committeeman and, while Heckman
is not now and has not been a can
didate for the place, there appears
to be little doubt about his accept
ance. The Republican club of Cor
jdova voted to endorse the senator
ion Tuesday afternoon, and on the
j
isame evening the Republicans of
1 Ketchikan ■ formed a club and took
!similar action. .
I Heckman, in the opinion of local
i Republicans who know him. is the
i logical man to represent the Terri
tory on the Republican national
| committee. He is a Republican
.first, last, and all the time, has a
.clean record as a member of the
territorial legislature, in which he
.has served during several sessions,
;and is a sourdough Alaskan.
Two other coast Republicans are
seeking election as committeeman,
;one of them being Charles E. Her
ron. owner of the Anchorage Times
land a staunch supporter of Wicker
jsham. and the other being Milo
j Kelly, anti-Wickershamite. They
i are making an active campaign for
jthe place.
i It is expected that the Republi
cans of Xenana, of whom there are
‘ quite a number. Will get busy with
in the near future in anticipation
’jof the April primaries, at which
* time delegates will be named for the
i territorial convention. There is eon
'isiderable talk locally .of organizing
: a Republican club.
A Republican club was organized
>;at Anchorage several months ago.
* and now the other coast towns ap
■ pear to be following suit, but as
yet there has been no action taken
1 by any of the Interior towns.
Mr. Heckman was in Xenana last
1 summer for a brief stay, on a tour
of the Interior country, and he plans
to return by way of the trail during
the coming summer, for another
* visit.

DOGS OF NENANA .
MUST STAY HOME
IS BOARD EDICT
The dog nuisance, concerning
which there has been loud and con
Jtinuous complaint, is about at ar
|end in Nenana. At any rate, ar
j ordinance has been passed by the
• board of trustees of the town, cov
jering the dog question in a verj
'thorough manner, and. after Decern
'ber 20, owners of dogs will be held
j strictly accountable for the move
iments of their canine property.
The ordinance, the first to be
i
i entered in the town records, was
j passed by the trustees at a meeting
held at the townsite office last night,
every member casting his vote in
favor of the adoption of the mea
sure.
The ordinance reads as follows:
TOWN OF NENANA.

or other places described in the pre

person competent to manage or con
trol such dog.
Sec. 3. It shall be unlawful for
any person or persons, the custodian
'or owner of any dog within the
town of Nenana, to permit or cause
to be permitted any such dog to
>un at large as defined in the pre
vious sections of this ordinance.
See. 4. Any such person or per
sons violating the provisions of this
•ordinance shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon convictior
J thereof, before the town magistrate
