TOLD IN BRIEF
Seattle, Feb. 12.—Secretary Yandell of the New Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, has returned from Washington, D, C.,
where he was in the interest of legislation for Alaska with the
coast delegation of associated chambers of commerce.
He stated that he believed this session of Congress would
see needed legislation for Alaska passed. “I am practically
certain,” said he, ‘‘that among the things granted us will be
more aids for navigation, survey of agricultural lands and a
reduction in cable rates.”
Mr. Yandell said further that the members of the coast
delegation were neglecting no opportunity which would in any
manner benefit Alaska, and besides their efforts in behalf of
legislation, the committee was a live publicity agencjt for ad
vertising the resources of the North.
New York, Feb. 12.—According to the records of the
United States weather bureau this has been the coldest sea
son experienced. The temperature registers 41 degrees below
zero, and the whole northern part of the state is practically
sheeted in ice.
This and many other harbors are almost blocked by ice.
and navigation is made difficult and dangerous. Man yof the
lighter class steamers and vessels are remaining in port, only
the more powerful tugs and vessels caring to take chances
in jamming through the ice.
Should the present weather continue and the ice increase
any more there is good prospect of the harbors becoming ice
lockd.
There is considerable suffering owing to the intense cold.
Special arrangements have been made to assist those too poor
to buy fuel.
Chicago, Feb. 12.—Eight governors and delegates from
twenty-eight states have organized a permanent committee tc
carry the candidacy of Roosevelt to the Republican national
convention.
The governors who constitute the executive head of this
committee have joined in writing a letter asking Roosevelt to
make his position known to the public.
It is realized that his friends must be handicapped so long
as they are forced to work in the dark, and they feel that the
time has come for Mr. Roosevelt to declare himself, in order
that the efforts of his friends may be strengthened.
Interviewers from magazines and press associations have
utterly failed so far in getting any expression from the form
er president, but it is thought the last number of the Outlook
foreshadows the announcement that it is expected the lettei
from the Roosevelt executive committee will bring forth.
Washington, Feb. 12.—President Taft has directed Secre
tary Knox to make a visit to Cuba and the countries bordering
the Carribean sea with a view of explaining to them personal
ly the aims and objects of the United States regarding the
Panama Canal. It is also purposed that the visit shall be ex
tended to heads of South American countries. It is believed
the visit will cause a much better feeling all around.
Washington, Feb. 12.—The Senate committee on territo
ries has requested Chairman John L. Wilson to draw a tenta
tive bill to provide for the immediate use of Alaskan coal and
timber for local purposes.
This is the most advanced step yet made for getting di
rect results for Alaska. The bill is to be drawn in outline in
order that it ean be considered officially and then filled in to
meet the requirements, not only for the best plan for afford
ing relief, but along lines which will meet the least resistance
in Congress from the lawmakers.
It is believed that the simple justice of allowing Alaskans
at least to use Alaskan coal will be recognized by all parties
concerned. The matter of mining coal for export purposes
may be considered later, and the purely local use of the coal
and timber will not meet opposition, as would a plan to open
the former for export. It is pointed out that local use will
greatly encourage mining by permitting the establishment ot
smelters and by furnishing cheaper fuel.
Alaskans here are jubilant over the action of the commit
tee on territories and they feel that Congress is now getting
down to business in earnest.
The regular Republican primaries to elect eight delegate?
to the Republican Territorial Convention to be held at Cordo
va on March 3U were conducted today under a call issued by
E. L. Harwood, the district committeeman, who appointed a?
judges of election S. P. Chapin, Harry I. O’Neill and Joseph
Westbrook. The primaries took place at the city ball and the
polls were open from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m., there being 103 vote?
polled.
There were two tickets in the field, and the administration
Republicans won a signal victory. Their candidates were
George C. Hazelet, O. A. Tucker, R. J. Barry, A. E. Lathrop,
James Flynn, George Dooley', C. M. Frazier and John Steffgen,
all of whom are favorable to the renomination of President
Wililam H. Taft. The other ticket was composed of Charles
M. Rosswog, O. A. Tucker, E. V. Boyle, John Nickell, Mike
Sullivan, V. A. Schmidt, Ed Currier and James MacCormack.
According to the call only Republicans who had voted the
party ticket at the last delegate election or those who were
willing to support the nominee of the coming convention were
eligible to vote. It soon became evident that the regular ticket
would have a walk-over and a call signed by Dr. Chase as
chairman and R. J. Boryer as secretary was issued .and a romp
primary opened in the office of the city clerk. Here the bars
were thrown down and the Wickersham lieutenants became ac
live. As a result a number of people voted their ticket, this
primary being conducted by Charles Goodall, Ed Currier and
B. W. Elliott, the judges appointed by Dr. Chase.
There was but little friction at the polls, and but about
ten voters were challenged at the regular primaries, in which
the interest centered. The city hall contained a large number
of spectators when the vote was being counted, which resultd
in a deisive victory for the Taft Republicans, as follows:

Nome, Feb. 12.—With the utmost harmony and' greatest
enthusiasm, the Republican district convention of the Second
Judicial Division convened here Saturday night with all of
• ... ...
its fifty delegates personally present.
A platform was adopted endorsing the Taft administra
tion.
A Republican club with over 200 members was organized
and the following telegram sent to Hilles, private secretary to
President Taft:
“Please convey to the President greetings from the far
thest north Republican convention, whose fifty delegates go
instructed to territorial convention to be held in Cordova on
March 30, solid for his renomination.”
The unit rule was unanimously adopted at the convention,
and Charles E. Herron, chairman of the Caudle delegation,
was given the proxy of the fifty solid votes to attend the Cor
dova territorial convention, per instructions for Taft.. He was
left uninstructed regarding the candidate for the position of
delegate to Congress from Alaska.
Pekin, Feb. 12.—An edict was today published by the Em
press Dowager and her advisers which it is believed will lead
to the establishment of a republican form of government.
It is. said the edict to be published tomorrow will contain
all the provisions for a republican form of government save
dial there will be also a spiritual head.
Washington, Feb. 13.-—Governor Walter E. Clark is labor
ing industriously in behalf of a measure that will mean reve
nue for Alaska. He is urging the passage of a bill that will
authorize the government to turn its proceeds from sealing op
erations in the Bering Sea into an Alaskan fund, at the end of
each season. The Governor has every hope that the measure
will be enacted into a law, and he is being assisted in his ef
fort by the delegation of boosters from the Pacific Coast.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 13.—Testifying before the Stanley
investigating committee yesterday afternoon, James J. Hill
threw some light on the past and present value of the rich Me
besna copper mines of Lake Superior. He stated that he per
sonally bought this big ore body and paid four million dollars
of his own money for it. Also that he then turned it over to
the stockholders of the Great Northern Railway Company, and
that the property now has a value of five hundred million dol
lars. It is leased to the United States Steel Corporation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—When Governor Clark appear
ed before the House committee on territories yesterday he de
fended the Alaska Road Commission and explained how the
commission was hampered in its operations by reason of the
limited appropriations for each year, and the constant appeals
from new localities in Alaska for aid in establishing trails,
roads and building bridges. He went into the methods that
had to be pursued, of rendering temporary aid that eventual
ly would count for naught, and of certain work that had to be
maintained on established roads. He was very insistent in urg
ing the demand and necessity for much larger appropriations,
and seemed to impress the committee with the reasonableness
of his dmand. Governor Clark also endorsed the bill of Dele
rate Wickersham amending the mining laws in various partic
ulars. He also urged that relief be provided for destitute
whites in Alaska.
When ex-Senator Wilson appeared before the committee
and interior valleys is the problem that overshadows all others
in Alaska.
While opposed to government ownership, Senator Wilson
declared that the people of Alaska would be willing to waive
that objection, provided they are supplied with a railroad, and
lie contended that if the government would not allow private
capital to build a road to the coal fields, then the government
itself should bear the burden.
He asked the committee to adopt Alaska as an orphan and
to help it to get more lighthouses, a reduction in cable tolls
and conservation of salmon. He suggested that the laws of
Washington providing for fish conservation should be adopted
for Alaska.
Wilson opposed the leasing system unless a plan- is devis
ed by which the lessees shall be enabled to make a larger profit
than 6 per cent on the investment, and may operate without too
many restrictions as to prices charged for fuel.
He pointed out that the government could save the cost
of the railroad by getting coal for the navy at a cheaper rate
than is being charged by the Eastern coal fields.
Wilson told the committee that the Pacific Coast delega
tion refused to take part iiTtlie territorial government or other
Alaska controversies.
The big snow rotary for the Copper River & Northwestern
Railway is being speeded across the continent from Philadel
phia. It left St. Paul a week ago on a fast freight train of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. Traffic Manager
Jones expects that it will arrive in Seattle on Wednesday or
Thursday of this week. The freighter Seward is being held in
readiness, having a cargo of coal for Southwestern Alaska,
freighter and dispatched to Cordova. It should reach here
during the last week of February, thus making a banner rec
ord of delivery and transit from the time the machine was or
dered by telegraph about a month ago. While this very excep
tional mild weather continues there is no need of a rotary of
any kind, but should heavy snow and storms again set it the
railroad will be well equipped with its two big rotaries to meet
any climatic or storm emergency and keep the tracks clear and
trains running on schedule.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 14.—What was presumed would re
sult only in local revolts in obscui’e sections of Mexico is now
proving so serious as to vitally concern the future of the re
public. President Madero is becoming alarmed at the wide
spread dissatisfaction that is finding much encouragement, es
pecially throughout the south. Recent dispatches indicate that
the uprising is becoming general, and that there has been much
looting and some bloodshed. Every possible precaution is be
ing taken to prevent an insurrection, and in some cases ex
treme measures are being resorted to, as in the days of Diaz.
Among the arrivals yesterday on the Alameda was John
C. Cox, accompanied by his wife. If he has a permanent resi
dence it is Denver. But Mr. Cox is one of the most expert
milling and metallurgical men in the country, and his profes
sion necessarily carries him to many extreme points. lie comes
direct from Ely, Nevada, where he has been occupied for two
years past. He will leave on Thursday’s train for Kennecott,
where he will at once take charge of the big mill for the Bo
nanza mine, with the expectation of soon getting it in running'
order for the treatment of the lower grade copper ore, which is
not now being shipped. In this line of work Mr. Cox has had
a wide and varied experience. He comes from a mining fami
ly. His father was for years associated with John Hays Ham
mond and at present represents some of the biggest mining
companies in the United States and England. He makes his
home in Denver. A brother was for years in the service of the
Guggenjieims in the western states and Mexico. He now has
offices in New York City. A younger brother is following in his
wake as an expert mining engineer. The coming to the cop
per river country of a man with the talents and reputation of
Mr. Cox is an indication of the importance with which this sec
tion of Alaska is regarded. As development goes on other big
mining men will gradually come into oHr midst while capital
ists help develop what will undoubtedly become one of the
richest copper districts in the United States. Mr. Cox is a man
of pleasing personality, of democratic tendencies, and possess
ing many admirabel qualities, coupled with an unquestioned
ability, that should make him a valued adjunct to any commu
nity. For the present Mrs. Cox will remain at the Windsor
Hotel in Cordova, expecting to join her husband later at Ken
necott.
