WRANGELL IS FOR A
DIVISION OF
Commercial Club Votes Unanimously
for the Creation of a New Ter
ritory out First Division
WRANGELL, Oct. 10.—The Wran
gell Commercial Club has voted unan
imously in favor of the division of
Alaska, the creation of a new tern
tory out of Southeastern Alaska, and
voted unanimously in favor of hold
ing a convention at Juneau to consii
er the question and to make arrange
ments to inaugurate a campaign to
bring about a division.
The action of the Wrangell Com
mercial Club was based upon the re
quest of the Ketchikan City Council
that the people of Southeastern Alas
ka give serious attention to the mat
ter of Territorial division and submit
ting the following propositions:
1. Do you favor creation of a new
Territory in Southeastern Alaska?
2. What boundaries would you
suggest for a new Territory whether
you favor the formation of one or
not?
3. Where do you suggest that the
Convention be held?
The Wrangell Commercial * Club,
acting unanimously on all propositions
favored the division, favored the 141st
degree of longitude as the boundary
and Juneau as the place for the con
vention.
Mayor J. G. Grant, Rev. H. P. Cor
ser, W. R. Neville, A. E. Gurr, Leon
ard Campbell, Leo McCormick, J. W.
Pritchett, H. D. Kyle and others were
speakers in favor of the proposition
P. C. McCormack presided at th«
meeting.
There was no objection on the par
of any of those who spoke to the in
' elusion of Cordova, the Prince Wil
liam Sound and the Copper River Val
ley country in the Territory', witl
Southeastern Alaska, but it was be
lieved there would be less bickerini
and more unanimity if Southeasteri
* Alaska would simply ask for a Terri
tory for the First division.

BERLIN, Oct. 12—President Strese

liberally improvised statement on the
internal and foreign situation. He
plainly exhibited signs of physical
exhaustion and nervousness born ot
apprehension regarding what the im

resurrected coalition government.
His speech was a cursory review of
events since the abandonment of pas
sive resistance. The Reichstag ad
journed until Monday when all parties
will announce their individual atti
tude toward the government’s propos
I ed semi-dictatorial measures. The
termination of the past week’s crisis

i a complete state of uncertainty. When

- Communists that Stinnes had nothing

RETURNS Fill INLET
Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap, missionary
for the Methodist Episcopal church,
and pastor of the local church, return
ed yesterday from a trip to Cook In
let points on the steamship Alameda.
While absent Rev. Dunlap visited the
camps of Kenai, Ninilchik, Seldovia
and Anchorage.
He reports the residents of Halibut
Cove had a good year and stand to
make considerable money on herring
fishing this season, as the Seattle
companies are furnishing the barrels
and salt, besides paying a good price
for the fish. A la/fce number of men
are engaged in the industry at this
place.
At Kenai Rev. Dunlap found the
canneries closed down after a success
ful season, but the camp progressing.
He reports between 75 and 80 schol
ars attending the public schools, with
three teachers employed. Rev. Dunlap
declares that the story of the recent
arrest of Jos. Conseil and a man
named Duncan was absolutely with
out fact. Instead of being haled from
home in his pajamas, as the corres
pondent stated, Conseil was in a card
game at the time. According to our
informant, Mr. Conseil “Has Got No
Pajamas.” He was taken to Seldovia
by order of Judge Ritchie, who was
there at the time. Mr. Fleckenstein
is making an efficient deputy, and has
cleaned the place up pretty thorough
ly. It is said that Judge Ritchie while
at Kenai removed the U. S. commis
sioner from office, and has made no
appointment as yet.
Burgin and Olstrom shipped seven
teen pairs of blue foxes to the Glacier
Fur Farm near Juneau, last week and
■ will ship seven more pairs on the
' Admiral Watson. The men have made
■ a great success out of fur farming.
Rev. Dunlap declares that Deputy
Marshal Hill is also enforcing the law
at Seldovia in an efficient manner,
and has cleaned the place up wonder
fully since he was appointed.
A robbery occurred at Ninilchik a
l week or so ago, the store of Mrs. An
j derson, run by Simeon -, being
burglarized and about $1400 in cash
stolen. As yet no clew has been
found as to the identity of the thief
1 or thieves.
1 Taking it full and bye, Rev. Dunlap
5 believes the country around Cook In
? let is progressing, it having a tew
more settlers, a few more homestead
ers each year. Times are fair and
i the natives are in fair shape to stand
1 the winter.
