versation with the reporter who had j
sought him out.
The Delegate was apparently deep-'
ly resentful of criticism of his official
policies which have appeared in The
Empire on various occasions. Even
when assured that he might say any- |
thing he wished in any way he desired
ami it would not be altered by The
Empire, he still maintained his stand
not to say anything for publication in
this newspaper.
Mr. Sutherland arrived on the S. S.
Yukon early this morning. After j
efforts to get in touch with him at his 1
hotel had failed, he was approached |
on Front Street near the Arctic by an
Empire reporter. As he was appar
in a hurry to join some friends await- !
ing him further down the street, he
was asked if it would be convenient
for him to be seen later when an inter- |
view with him might be obtained for
publication. “I have nothing to say
for The Empire now or at any other
time,” he said. He indicated he would
make a speech here during the cam- j
paign, however, in which he would at- j
tack personally members of The Em- j
pile’s editorial staff.
Among questions it had been ex- j *
pected to ask Sutherland were queries .
as to his position on the literacy test
issue, on the new Alaska fisheries
law, whether or not he had endorsed
the candidacy of Senator La Follette
for President, his attitude on the pro
posed Alaska game bill, as to the cor
rectness of reports that he had intend
ed to renew his fight on Secretary
Hoover and the Bureau of Fisheries
at the December session of Congress,
and whether he expected to take sides
on the reported Rustgard-Paul split.
None of these, however, were put to
him. He stood “pat” on his decision
not to say anything.”
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO
FROM OUR OLD FILES:
Seventeen years ago in November,
Cook Inlet was full of ice and the
steamer Tvonic was frozen in with
goods and passengers on board.
Mrs. Wm. Sauers was running a
circulating library.
Silas R. Reed of Oklahoma was ap
f pointed by President Roosevelt to
i succeed James Wickersham as judge
of the Third Division.
The steamers Bertha, Santa Ana,
Yucatan, Dora, Jeanie and Saratoga,
were running to Seward, their com
bined capacity being less than that
of the steamers Yukon or Alaska.
H. E. Ellsworth was running an
assay office, charging $1.50 for a
gold analysis.
E. V. Boyle was in the drug busi
ness here and Clayson was clothier.
The Palace was run by W. P. Henry
land Hawkins and Whittemore were
proprietors of the Hotel McNeiley.
Christiensen and Laubner ran the
i Alaska Transfer then, and sold wood
and coal.
The steamer Shelikof arrived in
Seward from the westward, Capt.
Moore being in command of the Do
ra. As usual the weather was rotten.
Wes Allen was manager of the A.
B. Drug company.
Knik merchants failed to receive
any horse feed and George Palmer’s
■ supplies were frozen in. The Susit- ■
0 na station road house had to close -
on account of supplies failing to
reach them before the freeze-up.
t Delegates to the Republican Na-.
? tional convention declared for Home
Rule.
The Gateway was running a miner
al inquiry department, determining
■ the names and values of metals sent
H in.
The steam launch Three M was
lost with all on board.
d
s HALIBUT BOATS ADD
TO VOLUME TRADE
» Seward merchants have enjoyed
, an unusually good business this fall
from halibut boats calling here for ■
t fuel oil and supplies, the number be
[_ ing greatly augmented since the es
( tablishment of the Standard Oil
tanks. The Seward Trading company
reports selling outfits to the follow
ing: The Daily, Prosperity, Superior,
Seawing, Arrow, Seymour, Tordensk
■ jold, Defense, Panaa, Eidsvold, Ori
ent, Helgoland, Republic, and a num- •
ber of others, fourteen boats outfit
ting here.
> This with the expenditures for oil
and clothing, etc., for the crews has
turned quite a bit of money loose
here, the business stcil'V increasing
of ia:e.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 14.—Secretary
Mellon arrived here the first of the
, week to be a guest at the wedding of
Miss Louise Todd and S. Parker .Gil
bert, Jr., who is general agent of the
reparations commission. Miss Todd
■ is the daughter of J. Ross Todd ,of

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
