CANNOT CHANGE
TIME OF NORTH
It is not within the power of a
municipal council or any other local
'body to change the time to meet
local conditions. The restriction on
time changing was called to the
rattention of the Fairbanks council
|
at a special meeting of that body
held last night for the purpose of j
considering a petition, signed by a^
majority of the businessmen, ask-,
! ing that the present time, as estab- ■
! lished by the federal daylight-saving
law, be continued throughout the
; winter, as has been the practice in
,'the past.
Investigation disclosed the fact
that the petition was in conflict with
the federal law, which says that all;
persons under the jurisdiction of
the United States shall be governed
by standard time.
The petition was ordered laid on
the table.
The daylight-saving law, recently
repealed by Congress, provided that
the clocks of the nation be set
ahead one hour in March and turned
back to correct time on the last
Sunday in October, which will be
tomorrow.
As already announced in these
columns, the time of the Alaskan
Engineering commission will be
changed to the correct time Sun
day at midnight, and trains oper
ated after that date will move ac
cording to that time, so that any
local change, either here or in Fair
banks, would result in much con
fusion. as well as constitute a vio
lation of the law.

A party of six sourdoughs of the
North were outgoing passengers on
this morning's train, headed for the
great Outside, which some of them
have not visited for many years.
They will travel by train to the
end of steel, near the canyon, and
mush from that point to the end of
steel in the Anchorage division, a
jaunt of 130 miles.
The party is made up of F. H.
Stewart, Eli Gray. Dugas, Mahoney,
and two others, whose names are
not known to The News. Stewart,
who was engaged in station work
on Coldstream during the summer
with Alex Funk, plans to visit the
oil fields before making definite
plans for the future. Gray is head- ,
ed for Vancouver, and plans later
to go to Montana.

Testimony taken by Delegate
Grigsby recently at Juneau, in the
delegate election contest, showed
that Judge Wickersham, who pro
tested against the Indian votes cast
in Southeastern Alaska, bad work
ers among the Indians and en
deavored to get the Indians to vote
—if they would vote for him. It
(was shown that John E. Marshall,
representing Judge Wickersham and
in the presence of Judge Wicker
sham, gave sample Wickersham bal
lots to natives who voted at Ju
neau and Douglas and asked them
to support Wickersham and get the
other natives to do likewise. -They
i were told that there were Wicker
sham workers among the Klawock
and Hydaburg Indians and predicted
I that the natives there would vote
for Wickersham.
I Natives from the West coast of
. Prince of Wales island testified
that Wickersham workers among the
! ' I
; Indians were more active than Sul-1
. zer workers.
Wickersham is now trying: to have
j these Indian votes thrown out.
I though he insists that the votes of
;the Indians of the far Westward.
(who can neither read nor write and
•who still recognize tribal customs,
! should be counted.
Evidence also disclosed that some
Indians did vote for Wickersham.
The Cordova Times contains the
following account of the testimony
taken at that place:
“In the hearings held before
Frank H. Foster last week in the
matter of the contested election case
of Wickersham versus Grigsby, in
volving the seat of the latter as
delegate to Congress from Alaska,
testimony of a most startling char
acter was adduced, showing that
illegal voting had been indulged in
at the last election in this city, and
that it had apparently been aided
and abetted by friends of the con
testant. It was brought out that
steamboat men from Interior Alas
ka, men and women from the Tolo
vana, and other residents of the
Fourth division, had voted here on
their way Outside, and, according
to the testimony, most of them had
voted for Wickersham.
"What is alleged to be a most
flagrant violation of the law in the
interest of Wickersham was that of
a woman who testified that she was
OUR REASON
for paying higher prices than
other fur buyers is that we do
not sell furs in the raw state, but
we manufacture every fur we
buy, and sell them only after
they are made up. We must have
nice specimens of all kinds of
furs and we will fuarantee to
pay higher prices than any other
fur buyer in town. Let us prove
this to you—make a trial ship
