Stillwater Gazette, under date of
Lewiston, Mont., and reading as fol
lows: A party of seven husky Alas
kan mining men arrived here recent
ly, prepared to go into the Mosby
oil held and take a hand in the oil
development. They say there are
about a hundred other Alaskans at
Seattle who are preparing to come
in, the oil gamd~ appealing very
strongly to them. In this party is
Captain E. T. Barnette, of Fairbanks
who piloted a party of prospectors
into the Fairbanks country in 1904,
this trip being a famous one. Ap
proximately $300,000,000 has been
taken from the district.
Petitions are being circulated in
Xenana in the interest of the candi
dacy of Cecil H. Clegg, for district
judge, and for Guy B. Erwin, for
district attorney.
Writing from Juneau, Ben Sim
son says the residents of the capital
know as much about happenings in
Xenana as do Nenanaites themselves
—and then some.
The sum of $150 has been posted
| at The Portland “that Wickersham
will not be the next governor of
I Alaska”. Fifty dollars of ti e amount
has been covered.

children for the use of their parents
or other adults, except upon a writ
ten order.
