Seward Primaries Bring
Out Small Number Votes
c
r
x
Owing to rainy, disagreeable weath
er, less than half of the total vote
of Seward was oast yesterday. One
of the surprises of the day was the
large majority of the votes going to
Seward’s candidate lor attorney gen
eral. W. D. Coppernoll, he receiving
nearly an hundred more than John
Rustgard, the First division candi
date and present incumbent. George
Sexton and E. E. Chamberlin, other
local candidates, for some reason re
ceived less votes than out-of-town
candidates. Cash Cole for governor
carried the town by a large majority,
Valentine receiving 27 votes. The
same contingent gave John Frame 30
votes. Had the day been fair a
large vote would have been polled.
The Democrats were conspicuous by
their absence, but 27 votes being
polled. M. J. Conroy defeated Dr.
\Y. W. Council by four votes, and
George Grigsby, a nen-resident, re
ceived the highest vote for Delegate
to the National convention. Mr.
Scvhofield, another non-resident was
also given a complimentary vote lor
governor.
The vote was as follows

PAYSTREAK FOUND !N
POORMAN DISTRICT
POORMAN, Apr. 12—The Poorman
section is again coming to the front
and a vast amount of work has been
done in this vicinity during the past
winter, and with a new paystreak
showing up on Timber creek, one of
the largest in the district, there is
much promise of a long-lifed camp.
The following shows some of the
operations during the past winter:
On Flat creek, Morton, Gallagher
and Augusta have been prospecting
and are now getting ready for sum
mer work.
Charles Johnson with two men, has
been hoisting pay all winter, some
of which has gone as high as $5 and
to the pan.
Eddie McKelvie, Joe Matson and
Jce Ward have probably their larg
est dump in the camp. They are now
getting ready for summer work.
On Poorman creek, IT. Willeby, W.
Ferry and Barney Cannon are just
through, hoisting out their winter
dump and expect to make a big clean
up.
Jack Shropshire and Truman Man
uel with two men have been hoist
ing pay all winter on the Buggy, and
have a large dump out. They expect
to work a large crew all summer
as they have a large body of pay.
Dermis Coyle is spending the winter
in the States but will be in this
coming summer and commence oper
ations again.
George Voder has just discovered
a narrow but good paystreak at the
mouth of Tenderfoot, right back of
Haarvel’s store building which he
wiil be working this summer.
On Solomon c»*eek, Martin Weboris
and Mickey Dugan have taken out a
large dump and are still hoisting
what is said to be good pay.
Below them John Fahey and Tony
Cannon with two men are taking out
a dump and still hoisting.
R. Fulkerson with two men has a
small dump, but is ready to hoist
into the sluice boxes when water
begins to run.
Wm. Wicklund and Harry Jensen
at the mouth of Solomon are all ready
to put on a crew as soon as the wa
ter comes.
On Timber creek Dick Stevenson
and Omar Quinn have been hoisting
pay all winter. Stanley Coffin s
working for them and has helped in
swelling the dump immensely.
One thousand feet belowT, William
Bailey and Shorty have just com
pleted a hole to bedrock, which
shows a three foot body of pay dirt
averaging five cents to the pan.
One and a half miles below Wil
liam Ferry and Barney Cannon have
very good pay awmiting develop
ments.
Timber creek is a large creek and
an immense lot of prospecting has
been done there in the past without
any success, but these recent finds
which are largely due to Jack Wolfs
persistence in prospecting will put it
in tin rank of D e lead in? producers
of the camp, as the development
to date show's that there i i a large
body of pay.
CORDOVA CHAMBER OPPOSES
SUTHERLAND AMENDMENTS
At a special meeting this week the
Cordova Chamber of Commerce wired
a protest to Senator Wesley L. Jones
against the amendments attached to
the White bill. The amendments pro
hibit the use of trap and purse
seines in inlets which are less than
three miles in width, or any channel
connecting two larger bodies of wa
ter where the width is less than
three miles, or within one mile of
any bay, inlet or estuary two miles
or less in width and one mile from
the mouth of a stream in which sal
mon run.
Ic is claimed by Delegate Suther
land that fishing with gill nets would
greatly increase the population of
Alaska and place the industry in the
hands of Alaskans.
SEIZURE OF FUR BY
INTERIOR GAME WARDEN
Fur Warden W. C. Denny of Fair
banks recently seized 1500 muskrat
skins alleged to have been caught
during the past winter. Nine hun
dred of the skins were laleged to
have belonged to A1 Linder and were
taken from Linder lake between Ne
nana and Minto. The remainder be
nged to Gus Benson, while Lewis
Silas, a native had seven.
RUSTGARD WIRES VICTORY
George Sexton received a wire yes
terday from John Rustgarl stating
that he (Rustgard) was sweeping the
territory. and that Mr. Sexton would
carry the First division.
Thomas J. Maher, an old timer
from the Interior arrived at McCar
thy this week to take a position as
gan e warden for the district Mr.

Ketchikan Objects to
Fish Bill Amendments
The Ketchikan Commercial Club at
a recent meeting voted unanimously
to telegraph to Washington orotests
against the passage of the White
bill as amended. The sentiment of
the organization was in effect that
the White Bill as an emergency fish
legislation would be satisfactory pro
vided the amendments killing fish
traps and purse seines were elimi
nated.
Several hundred fishermen met and
voted for the abolition of traps and
to leave purse seine fishing as it is.
PETITION FOR NEW STRF.ET
A movement is ou foot by resi
dents of Sewavd to establish a new
stree:: running from Seconi to Fifth,
alongside 'Ellsworth’s store. This
would insure better fire protection
and lower insurance. Only one small
building alongside of Urbach's store
would have to be condemned, and
as this property is for sale it would
be easily acquired. Mr. Benson
states that if this street can be put
through he would erect a three-story
modern cement building on the prop
erty lately acquired.
MT. M’KINLEY SINKING
DUE TO EARTHQUAKES
Tradition has It that Mount Mc
Kinley in interior Alaska, the loftiest
peak on the American continent, is.
sinking about two feeT a year.
Residents of the region are con
vinced that this happens. They point
out that there is an average of four
earthquake shocks a year and con
tend that the mountain settles about,
six inches with each tremor.
Ily way of attempted confirmation
they refer to ihe Aleutian islands.
According to recent reports from
scientists no one can state the loca
tion or altitude of these islands as
one day they will appear well above
the water and the next day may
have disappeared.
Numerous small islands including
Bogoslov, are reported to have dis
appeared without a trace. Bogoslov
is recalled as the island which sud
denly appeared while the crew of
the coast guard cutter Bear looked
on, in 1906.
For the topographical freaks the
blame is placed on Mount Katmai
and Pavlof volcanoes which intermit
tently send out dense clouds of flame
and smoke.

Buick Body Construction
In constructing its open car bodies, Buick uses
bolts in fastening the metal braces to the wood,
instead of ordinary screws. These bolts pass
ing completely through the wooden frame
prevent joints from loosening under driving
strains. A more than usual number of bolts
secure the Buick body to the chassis, holding
it rigidly in position and entirely eliminating
all squeaks and rattles.
