FACTS!
Facts! Ironclad and conclusive that the past regime
of the present delegate to congress has been a dismal fai
lure were presented by Thos. A. Marquam, Independent
candidate for delegate, during his three hour address last
night. Mr. Marquam shot Mr. Sutherland's defense so
full of holes with concrete facts that every utterance
made during Mr. Sutherland's campaign, now resembles
a piece of Swiss cheese.
There was no evasion in Mr. Marquam’s talk last
evening. Every issue of the campaign was brought up
and discussed clearly and in every instance he nailed
Sutherland to the mast. And FACTS and by BLACK
and WHITE EVIDENCE! Sincerity for the upbuilding
and future of Alaska was the keynote of Mr. Marquam's
address. Not one in the audience could help but feel Mr.
Marquam's ambitions are not politically bent as for years
he has declined to accept high offices but due to the ter
rible name Alaska has been, plastered with during the last
year, with Mr. Sutherland's hearty endorsement, Mr.
Marquam's friends finally persuaded him to file. And
such sincerity and love for his homeland as was apparent
last evening can result in but one thing, REWARD!
In no way last evening did Mr. Marquam personally
attack Mr. Sutherland, BUT HE PRESENTED BLACK
AND WHITE FACTS WHICH DO NOT LIE!
In pointing out conditions at Morningside, where Al
aska’s insane are sent, Mr. Marquam drove home but one
fact where Mr. Sutherland has been grossly negligent in
taking care of the Territory's affairs. Mr. Marquam
painted a picture of conditions at Morningside which ab
solutely shocked his audience. His description of the
treatment of patients at that institution was horrible and
every word he uttered has been substantiated time anc
again by reputable citizens. \ On that one point alone, re
gardless of the many other issues in the present campaign
Mr. Marquam should receive the support of every citizer
in Alaska at the Territorial election November 2, if foi
no other reason he pledged himself on the platform Iasi
night that “if I am elected as delegate to congress fron
Alaska I will either wipe it out of existence, change con
ditions, or never come back to Alaska."
COLUMBUS DAY
Homage is being paid today to Christopher Colum
bus, son of an Italian wool-comber, who on October 12,
1492, landed on one of the Bahama Islands naming it San
Salvador. Unsuccessful in discovering a passage connect
ing the Atlantic and Pacific, King Ferdinand proved base
ly ungrateful and permitted Columbus to die in poverty
at Valladolid on May 20, 1506.
The spirit of Columbus is typified in present day
argonauts who not only sail the seas on discovery bent
but on land as well, exploring for scientific purposes and
in search of treasure which the earth may yield. Alaska
isffull of Columbus's, adventurers all, to whom journeys
in quest of the unknown, is sufficient.
All hail to the spirit of Columbus!
TRUE TO TYPE
A social survey or something in Detroit claims .to
have unearthed the astounding fact that the high school
pupils are lazy. Emerson said that “every man' is as lazy
as he dares to be."
On October 12, 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue
and discovered America. The country is still wild.
YES, IT DOES!
Every time we buy a bushel of potatoes the recollec
tion that the farmer needs relief gives us a good laugh,
ha, ha! yes it does!
Today is Columbus Day and all over the country eggs
are being made to stand on their own legs.
ON TOPPER FROM
MANY REINDEER DIE ON VOY
AGE SOUTH; BAD WEATH
ER ENCOUNTERED
The S. #S. . Tupper, which arrived
recently at Ketchikan en route South
from the Kuskokwim, carried the
following passengers:
Mrs. Wentz and children, Mrs.
Howland and child, Miss Halbeck,
Mrs. Woo, Miss Hoffman, Miss Hoyt,
Charles Murphy, Carl Walfort, Carl
Nullcrman, J. J. Brown, W. Peterson,
S. Fuller, M. Jaffie, A. Tangan, M.
Cunningham, J. Demar.
L. D. Dresser purser, said the Tup
per is completing its fifth voyage to
the Kuskokwim. He announced that
the steamer took aboard 200 live
reindeer carcasses on the upper Kus
kokwim for Waechter Bros., a Ta
coma packing concern with several
branches in Alaska. The reindeer
were mostly purchased from Lap
landers' who were imported by the
natives on the Kuskokwim to look
after their reindeer herds.
The live reinder are to be used
for advertising the reindeer meat at
various points on the sound before
slaughter for meat purposes. While
there were 220 live animals aboard
when the voyage south was started,
a number of the animals died
en route. Severe weather was en
countered at the mouth of the Kus
kokwim and Captain Langley was
forced to seke shelter to protect his
live cargo, and storms encountered
several times on the voyage south
caused numerous delays en route
when the steamer tied up in shelt
ered places.
