W. D. Coppernoll, republican candi
date for attorney general, has an in
teresting history, which he gave tc
a Gateway representative this week
His biography reads like a romance
as he has engaged in all sorts of oc
cupations and worked at ever, t’ in;
at some time or other in an effort to
| wrest a living out of the great West.
Wm. D. Coppernoll was born at
Canajoharie, N. Y. in June 1864. Par
ents ot very moderate means, he war
educated in the common schools of
*' nnriv town and passed examin
ation in the academic grade at the
ace of fifteen. His parents being un
able to finance a college education,
secured a position as page and boot
black in a hotel at Little Falls. N. Y.
After six months in that position he
secured a job with the Union News
Company of New York City, acting
as news “butcher” or an agent on the
New York Central railroad. At the
age of nineteen, having saved a few
dollars and being desirous of being a
disciple of Blackstone, went to the
city of Chicago, and secured a posi
tion as clerk in the law offices of a
prominent firm of attorneys in that
city. He then worked as a clerk in
the day time, and studied at night.
In March 1887 he passed a successful
examination before the Appelate
Court at Chicago and was admitted to
practice before the Supreme Court
of Illinois in June, 1887.
He was married at Chicago in De
cember, 1899. He had two children,
Randall, a son born September 20,
1891 and Myrtle, a daughter, born on
January 21, 1893. Both children were
from Chicago thereto in 1890. His
wife died in 1898. He then practiced
law in Montana, from 1890 to 1900,,
when he removed to Thunder Moun
tain where a great stampede was on
which later caused the find of gold.
This camp was a failure, so he went
to Tonopah, Nevada, in 1901; prac
ticed law at Auslin, Nev. from 1902
to 1912; represented Lander County,,
of which Austin was the county seat
in the Nevada Assembly, having been
elected in 1910.
Comes To Alaska
Continuing the account of his stren
uous work. Mr. Coppernoll said:
“In 1912. having placed my child
ren with friends in the east. I came
to Alaska, where opportunities seem
ed most favorable. I arrived in Ket
chikan in September of that year, and
with a capital of $5.20, being an en
tire stranger, I went to work steve
doring on the dock, and afterward
worked on a box-machine in the saw
mill at that place. Then I went to
Juneau in October 1912. I took a
job mixing concrete for Senator
rripp. Then Guy McNaughton, cash- '
er of the Behrends Bank at Juneau
?ot me a job as blacksmith helper at
he Chichagoff mines during the
nonth of November, 1912. After
vorking as such a helper for about
hree weeks, Jim Column of Ktchi
can, who was the head blacksmith,,
igured that I was too light for this
ob, and I was transferred to take
:harge of the Company store at that
dace. In January 1913, having some
noney to the good, I went to Juneau
'here I did some legal work. So ma
ty attorneys were there, and the pick- i
ng was poor. In 1914, having heard 1
ibout the opportunities at Seward. 11 ■
:ame here and in November of 1914, i!
•pened an office in the Daggett Block j
it once. I was appointed City At
orney by the Common Council of Se
vard in 1915; elected City Attorney
-gain in 1916.
“In May, 1918, being requested by
udge Fred M. Brown, I accepted the ,
'nited States Commissionership at*
falkeetna, where I served for six
nonths. In January, 1919 I went to
Vashington, D. C., for the purpose
f floating a mining deal. While
here for that purpose and as capi
al was not forthcoming, upon re-l
uest of Mr. Ray T. Baker, Director j
t the Mint, and who was a friend of i
line in the State of Nevada, I went |
3 work for the United States Ship- j
ing Board, in Washington D. C., and \
l thirty days was head of’one of the j
epartments. The position was in
leaning up the war work. Holding -
lis position till May 31, 1920, when! (
resigned in order to return to Alas-! c
a. I arrived back in Seward in June
J20, and practiced law there until
ecember 30, 1921, when at the soli-;
tation of Federal Judge E. E. Ritch
s, I accepted the United States com
dssionership at McCarthy, Alaska,
held that position until October 1,
123, when I resigned to resume prac
ce of law in Seward, where I am now
cated.”

BELKOFSKY, Alaska, Jan. 16.—A
fine Christmas program was giver
at the schoolhouse in this camp Dec
24, Rev. D. Hotovitzky, priest in
charge, building the Christmas tret
out of alders, there being no tirnbei
in this section from which to cut a
tree. The natives and children en
joyed the affair very much, tnere be
ing a present for everyone.
On January 6, Mt. Favlof, which has
been smoking for some months again
erupted, accompanied by violent eart,
quake shocks and pitchy darkness,
the shocks lasting .or several min
utes and accompanied by a violen,
electrieal display. The natives were
vein much .rigs ened and started to
pack their things preparatory to
leaving the vi.lage, but tney were fiu
- il.. canned down o.\ Rev. Hotovilzkj
who went from nouse to house assur
ing them the danger vvoulu soon be
over. Since the eruption the volcano
is throwing out a huge column o,
smoke and steam, and residents oi
the village believe that it is only a
question ot time until me top blows
on tne mountain, as was the case a,
Mt. Kaunai. It is hard to understand
the terror of Jiving under an active
volcano, by people who do not see
these things; the black darkness, me
violent explosions, the iailing rock,
and lava, tne lurid Hashes ot iilVa
thrown high in the air, all produce a
leeling ot helplessness and terror
that must De experienced to be be
lieved. If this is so with the whites,
what must it be to the untutored am.
uneducated native.
On the last steamer the residents
ot Belkoisky received permits irom
the Luieau oi Fisheries to operate
two fish traps next summer together
with two places ior fisning lor home
consumption^ which will give the na
tives plenty oi work the coining sea
son.
i his winter the natives have made
good money trapping, and over 2uu
skins were shipped out on the steam
er Latouche to thee Seattle market,
to be sold by the Bureau of Educa
tion.
Plenty of snow has fallen here this
winter; making for successful hunting
and trapping.
After his return irom Seward, Rev.
Hoiovitzy made a trip to Cold Bay,
and on the 27th ot November killed 2
large bears, one measuring nine feet
in length and the other eleven. Bears
are very numerous and appear to be
increasing in this section. Plenty ot
caribou and ptarmigan give me na
tives plenty ot game lor their winter’s
use.
ALASKA PRODUCTS FAVORED
Alaska grown farm products are to
be given the preference over import
ed foodstuffs in the railroad camps,
lining cars and hotels on the Alaskr
railroad, according to Captain J. H
Hughes, the newly appointed superin
tendent of commissary and stores for
the railroad. A large order has jusi
been given to P. J. Rickert, a Fair
banks greenhouse owner and farm
er, for cabbage, celery and parsley for
ise in the railroad camps and dining
;ars.
