DELEGATE SUTHERLAND
ARRIVES ON AD. EVANS
_ i
Delegate Dan A. Sutherland arriv
ed from Washington on the Admiral
Fvans ,and left on the same boat for
Kodiak, AJ'tak, and other ports. Air.
Sutherland will visit the interior and
returning to Seward, spend several j
days here. The Delegate had littlej
to say regarding the Territorial com- j
mitteeman controversy other than i
that the voters had elected John;
Frame and he should.be named for!
the -place. Speaking of railroau con- |
ditions h- stated that the squabbles |
and charges arising from Am borage
were hurting the railroad bad'y and
would ultimately result in great harm
to the entire district unless the
senseless charges against the man
agement ceased. He declard that
many congressmen were against the
government owning therailroad and
it might be thrown into private
hands in case the quarrels were kept
up- Mr. Sutherland paid Manager
Lee II. Landis a compliment over the
showing made in reducing expenses
and stated that in his opinion it was
a good advertisement for A'aska, as
the road must pay or quit running.
He declared that it was hard to get
appropriations for Alaska, even with
trie entire support of the people and
with continual bickering and quarel
ing over minor matters a feeling of
disgust was engendered.
The Delegate was also more liber
al, in his views regarding the fish
eries, believing that more elastic rul
ings wrould hel|p the industry, which
is the chief and main one of the
country to the westward. He will in
vestigate conditions and sentiment in
the towns visited, and will be better
able to express an opinion upon his
return.
DEATH SUMMONS
INGVALD RYSTAD
Ingvalt J. Rystad, employe of The
Alaska Railroad, who was injured
some time ago as the result of being
caught beneath some heavy timbers
which fell from a car which he was
unloading, died suddenly at the Gov
ernment hospital the other day,
death being attributed to a blood
clot on the heart. The patient was
convalscent from his previous trou
ble and the fatal stroke came without
warning ,death occurring within a
few minutes after Rystad had col
lapsed. He had just finished break
fast and was walking about the ward
when stricken.
The deceased was a native of Nor
way, where he was born 56 years ago.
He was an oldtimer of the North and
resided in the Interior in the early
days, moving to Anchorage shortly
after the commencement of railroad
activities. He is survived by a sis
ter and brother, residing in the
States.
HARRY ELLSWORTH SELECTED
FOR ADVISORY COMMISSION
Harry Ellsworth, member of the
Territorial Fish Commission received
a telegram this morning from Her
bert Hoover, Secretary of the De
partment of Commerce, stating that
he had been named a member of the
advisory board which will consider
the present regulations governing
laskan salmon fisheries to make
changes and recommendations or ad
ditions to the present laws for the
coming year.
A letter was also received from
Governor Scott C. Bone advising Mr.
Ellsworth that the Advisory Com
mittee of the Bureau of Fisheries
would meet at Juneau the first week
in September . Commissioner Henry
O’Malley will be in attendance as
well as Delegate Sutherland.
The value of having a member of
this advisory board in Seward can
not be too greatly estimated. The
Fisheries Bureau has built and is
maintaining a splendid hatchery at
Grouse Lake ,has cleared the streams
in this vicinity increasing the run
of red fish, and will continue its pol
icy of propagation. Plans next year
call for the construction of traps at
Bear Lake and on Quartz Creek, to
prevent trout from ascending to
these streams.

JESS WICKERSHAM
IS SHOT BY WIFE;
EVIDENCE OF ROW
(Anchorage Alaskan).
Jess Wiekersham, well known res
ident of the Chickaloon district, is
dead and his wife, a native woman,
is in jail, bound over to the grand
jury, as the result o? a family row
at the Wiekersham cabin in an In
dian settlement on the Chickaloon
river, about two miles above Chick
aloon. The woman is said to have
admitted shooting Wiekersham claim
ing that it was done in self defense
after he had slashed her hand sev
eral times with a knife. Three shots
were fired, one bullet grazing the
skull, one entering the neck and the
third lodging in the thigh.
The shooting occured late Satur
day night and early Sunday morning
Deputy Marshals Frank Hoffman
and Charles Watson and R. C. Lou
dermilch left for the scene after hav
ing been advised of the tragedy by
Lee Harris. U- S. Commissioner W.
H. Rager joined the party at Wasilla
and upon arrival at Chickaloon a
coroner’s jury was impaneled, the
verdict being that Wiekersham had
come to his death as the result of
gun shot wounds inflicted by his
common-law wife. In relating the
details of the tragedy, Mrs. Wicker
sham declared that her husband was
drunk at the time he attacked her,
and the officers feund ample evi
dence of liquor on the premises, in
cluding four gallons of moonshine,
fifty of mash and a still. Thg testi
mony indicated that Wiekersham
had made a rpevious assault upon his
wife and had been warned at that
time that he would not be permitted
to beat her up again.
Mrs. Wiekersham and a babe in
arms were brought to town and lodg
ed in the federal pail to await action
b ythe grand jury. The body of the
dead man also was brought to An
chorage and is being held at the An
chorage Funeral Parlors pending the
receipt of advices from relatives in
the States, it being understood that

ALLEGED PIRATE VESSELS
LISTED BY CANNERYMEN
(Juneau Empire).
The systematice campaign of trap
j robbing, said to have existed in the
I southern end of the division, near
i Ketchikan, has been dealt a body
! blow by the salmon packers them
selves, according to word brought to
Juneau by Maj. George D. Beaumont,
U. S. Marshal who returned last
night from the FFirst City. The can
nerymen, he said, have entered into
an agreement not to buy fish believ
ed to have been stolen.
This agreement, said Marshal
Beaumont, was reached at a meeting
| of Ketchikan canners and others in
that vicinity and followed offical
notice given by the government’s at
torneys that persons or firms whom
it could be shown were knowingly
buying fish from trap robbers would
be prosecuted either for conspiracy
or for receiving stolen goods. Un
der the terms of the agreement the
packers furnished each other with
a list of boats which they knew or
had reason to believe were engaged
in “pirating.” The list is said to
have included boats which had offer
ed to buy fish from the watchmen
on traps owned or operated by the
individuals or companies represented
at the meeting. It is reported that
more than ?>0 boats were listed by
the connerymen. Since the agree
ment was made vessels listed have
been unable to sell fish on the Ket
chikan market. The action created
! a big sensation among the operators
j and owners of the prescribed boats
I and protests are said to have been
made.
