Thomas A. Marquam
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
For Delegate from Alaska
In his nearly thirty years residence in,Alaska, Mr.
Marquam has shown himself to be a considerable boos
ter for the Territory one whose word is as good as
his bond, a friend of the under dog whose cause he
has never refused because the client had no money:
He has played fair with all men.
Mr. Marquam stands equally well at Washington
as in Alaska. If he is elected Delegate, Alaska will
never have to flood Washington with telegrams,
denying false and libelous statements circulated by
her representative, attacking the fair name of the
Territory and its people.
A vote for Marquam is a vote for progress; a vote
for him is a vote for a booster, for one who can and
will get results.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

mills for 10 years, provided the supply
for local use Is not endangered.
The regulations continue as fol
lows:
(5) The district officers will make
appropriate notations upon the re
cords of their office and transmit the
application to the Commissioner of
the General Land office, and at the
same time transmit the duplicate to
the division inspector at Anchorage,
Alaska, or to an inspector located in
the particular land district, who shall
have been designated by the division
inspector to make appraisals. Upon
receipt of the same the latter will
without delay cause the timber ap
plied for to be examined and apprais
ed. The appraisal rates will be based
upon a fair stumpage rate, taking in
to consideration the quality of the
timber and its accesibility to market.
In no event will any timber suitable
for manufacturing purposes be ap
praised at less than $1 per thousand
feet, board measure. After an examin
ation and appraisal has been made the
division inspector will at once submit
his report and recommendation to the
Commissioner of the Qeneral Land of
fice, together with a statement of
false showing whether such sale
would endanger the supply of timber
for local use. The government re-,
serves the right to r-eappraise the re
maining standing timber at the expir
ation of five years from the date of
commencement of the timbercutting
period as set forth in paragraph 2
hereof, but in no instance shall the
appraisal be at more than double the
rate of the original appraisal.
Contract Rules Specified
(6) Upon receipt of a report that
such sale appears warranted the com
missioner of the General Land office
will notify the applicant of the result
of the appraisal and advise him that
he will be allowed 30 days from re
ceipt of such notice within which to

ment through the commissioner of the
General Land office as its agent, sub
ject to the approval of the secretary
of the Interior, to purchase the tim
ber applied for pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the department per
taining thereto, and shall execute and
file therewith a bond in a sum equal
to 50 per cent of the stumpage value
of the estimated amount of timber 1?b

lations pursued to which the sale
is made. Forms of contract and bond
