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. 1
MARQUAM FOR DELEGATE CLUB
II CHECHAKO'S LOG
BEING THE ADVENURES OF
A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA
WHO AT PRESENT IS WAND
ERING AT LARGE IN THE
MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND
SUNRISE DISTRICTS
Friday morning the Chechako con
tinued his investigation of modern
placer mining at the Mathison mine.
He could aee one of the giants in op
eration now, and he marveled at the
power of the stream of water direct
ed from the nozzle, for the earth
crumbled before the stream like so
much sugar in the bottom of a tea
cup. It was absorbing to one utter
ly unfamiliar with this kind of work,
but it was necessary for the Chechako
to turn and retrace his steps through
Moose Pass. So he reluctently bid
his newly found friends farewell, and
started along the back trail for Sun
rise. Friday was the day that Mr.
Mike Connolly had promised to meet
the Chechako and tell him of the
early history of the village; so he
had to hasten in order to be in Sun
rise that evening. The journey was
uneventful, and dusk found the Che
chako back in the village of Sunrise.
This time the Chechako was fortu
nate enough to meet Mr. Kiel, the en
gineer in charge of the construction
of the entire road. Mr. Kiel spoke
seldom; his remarks were decisive
and nonhesitant. He impressed one
as an excellent executive. The Che
chako also found Attorney L. V. Ray
at Sunrise, and Mr. Ray explained
that he was now a tourist.
I
After dinner the Chechako set out
to find some of the old-timers—those
that had nursed the region in the
days of it’s infancy. One of these
men was Dad Fuller. Dad came from
the Black Hill region of South Da
kota; he was there when herds of
buffalo covered the plains as far as
eye could reach, and he could remem
ber when meli were paid three cents
each for slaughtering the buffalo in
order to destroy the food supply of the
Indians. But that was before Dad
came to Alaska, and since then he
has had many exciting experiences.
He is known all through the Kenai
peninsula as an experienced hunter,
and he relates many stories of the j
black and the brown bear. One note- j
worthy characteristic is that Dad Ful-j
ler refuses to use anything heavier
than a 30-30 for any game, including
the brown bear. This may be explain
ed by the fact that Dad was one of
*
the best marksmen in the country.
Then the Chechako proceeded to
the cabin of Mr. Mike Connolly. Mr.
Fred Chalman was visiting Mr. Con
nouy tnat evening, dui mis was not
unusual, for Mr. Connolly has many
visitors. “The boys,” as Mr. Connolly
calls them, like to drop in at his ca
bin to spend the evening. And Mr.
Connolly remembers the early days of
the village well. It seems that Sun
rise was founded in 1895, but why it
was named Sunrise is uncertain. Gold
had been discovered there as early as
1892, but the rush did not come until
’96 and '98 and then the village had
about 2,000 inhabitants. Most of the
buildings in Sunrise were erected in
1898. The village was governed by
“Miners Law.” It was laid out as a
town site but never incorporated. The
miners elected two officers, the City
Recorder, and the Mining Recorder.
Mr. Connolly was elected City Record
er in 1897 and held the office for sev
eral years. Later Mr. George Sexton,
of Seward, was Federal Marshal of
the city.
Contrary to the popular supposition
that all mining camps were nests of
lawlessness, Sunrise was an orderly
