Truth Conies Out at Last
(From Wednesday’s Cordova Alaskan.)
ilie reader's of the Daily Alaskan will he given, verbatim,
the first copy of a story now running through the Eastern press.
It verifies facts given in our local news columns months ago,
hut that it should have such widespread circulation in the
East is not only surprising, but very pleasing, as it shows that
at last the fruits of our labors are at hand and the fair-minded
publishers are realizing that the Guggenheim bugaboo has been
played to the limit and must now go into oblivion while Alaska
is developed and built up. It will put a quietus on the writings,
lies and mouthings of the Pinchot press bureau writers once
and forever, and no more can Latlirop or Pinchot get their stuff
accepted by any honest journal. Collier’s Weekly ha$ crawled
into its hole, Hampton’s is suffering dissolution, the Pacific
Monthly is out of business, Leslie’s is giving thousands of read
er the truth about Alaska and the situation, and the Outlook
is backing water right along and reversing itself at every turn
Now the truth is out about the arch conspirators so we have
reason to feel elated.
The following is from the Sioux citv Journal of Jan. 28,
.1912, but other clippings received show that it has appeared in
many of the prominent newspapers of the Hast:
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 27.—The Controller Bay conspiracy,
which charged that President Taft permitted the Guggenheims
to grab valuable tide lands and terminal sites on Controller
Bay, in Alaska, after having been influenced so to do by his
brother Charles P. Taft, who, it was alleged, was behind Dick
Ryan, the promoter claimant, was exposed in all its rottenness
here today by Barney Goss, former secretary to delegate from
Alaska, Janies Wickersham, and the attempt to besmirch the
President attributed directly to Gifford Piiu-liot. Jim Wicker
sham and John E. Latlirop, Head of the Pinchot press bureau,
and the man who first pubfisned the now famous “Dick to
Dick” letter fake.
Goss has quit Wickersham’s service, returned to the Pa
cific coast and engaged again in newspaper work. He is not at
all bitter against his former employer, but owing to the fact
that he made an affidavit setting forth how the Controller Bay
conspiracy was plotted and perpetrated upon the people of the
United States, which affidavit he declares Chairman Graham,
of the Controller Bay investigation committee, has seen fit to
suppress in its entirety, Goss thinks it only just, fair and proper
-that he should give out what he set forth in the affidavit that
was given by him before he left Washington, D. C., to return to
ne Pacific coast.
“It was a report made by me to Jim Wickersham of a con
versation 1 had with Dick Ryan that served as the nucleus ol
I the Controller Bay plot,” declared Goss. “I have known Ryan
the promoter for several years, meeting him first in Alaska,
where I put in several years, and until 'some few months age
had reason to believe that he and Wickersham were on the
friendliest of terms.
“I was walking down Pennsylvania avenue in Washing
ton some two or three weeks before the Controller Bay began
to figure in the first page headlines of newspapers throughout
'die country, when Ryan walked up to me and slapped me famil
iarly on he back, inquired why my boss, Jim Wickersham,
was fighting him in his attempts to gain control of Controller
Bay tide land and terminal sites. ‘Barney, why is your boss,
Jim Wickersham, fighting me about Controller Bay?’ was Rv
an s first remark.
“I told Ryan I did not know that Wiekersham was fight
ing him, or if he was, what his reasons therefor were, and he
next inquired: ‘Why, don’t Jim know I have Charley Taft hack
of me in this matter?’
“1 was considerably surprised at this remark from Ryan, for
as an Alaskan I knew that these claims, for the purposes out
lined by Ryan, were practically useless and were probably to be
used in some stock jobbing deal, as far as 1 could learn, for
never would any Alaskan credit Ryan with being accredited
special or any other kind of an agent for the Guggenheims, or
any other interests, as his record in Alaska was too well known.
“That was all that passed between ns about Controller
Bay and I hurried to my chief, Delegate Wiekersham, to report
to.him what Ryan had said. Mr. Wiekersham immediately call
ed Mr. Lathrop into conference, and with in a few days the Con
troller Bay grab by the Guggenheims, through an alleged se
cret agent, namely Dick Ryan, began to he exploited at great
length in newspapers throughout the country, President Taft
eml his brother being rung in as aiders and abettors in chief to
the attempt to bottle up what was alleged to be the best nat
ural harbor in Alaska. That was the start of the Controller
Bay conspiracy. I w;>s never heard of or mentioned until I re
ported Ryan’s statements to me to Mr. Wiekersham. The Con
troller Bay natural harbor stories have sim-e been thoroughly
exploded through Secretary Fisher’s trip up to Alaska, when
so great a storm arose over its always placid waters that the
entire party was in grave danger of death
“I am convinced that Ryan was only throwing a monu
mental bluff in his remarks to me became he is, first, last and
all times a promoter, who, in his Alaskan transactions, traded
upon the gullibility of three-fourths of the people who would
not believe his denial of an insinuation that lie was a Guggen
heim agent and because of this he would he able to sell stock
in his scheme were he able to obtain posse- ion of the lands he
sought.
‘The first dispatches about the plan of the special inter
ests to grab Controller Bay were quick) followed bv the pub
lication of the fake ‘Dick to Dick’ letter | do not know who
1‘aiced it, planned it or thought it out, but I do know that the
letter was the most palpable kind of a fake, and the Graham in
vestigating committee evidently realized that, because it per
sistently refused to hear Ashmun Brown, former secretary to
.oallinger, though he waited around in Washington patiently!
lor weeks to be heard.
“The scandal that developed subsequent to my report to
Wickersham of what Ryan had told me mi the street was of no
mean proportions, for the conspirators sm dit by every means
to discredit Attorney General Wickersham into the bargain. 1
nave not the slightest expectation that I ever will be called
back to Washington to testify, because my testimony would
burst «the Controller Bay conspiracy bubble more quickly than
it ever was hatched, and Chairman Graham personally is cer
tain of it.
“Ryan was not in the scheme to discredit President Taft,
his brother or Attorney General Wickersham, directly, in nu
opinion. He merely made the statements he did to me, work
ing a bluff for the effect he thought they might have on Wick
ersliam, hut it is certain he never figured on them being ma
nipulated into the scandal they were very quicidy worked up
into.”
Washington, Feb. 8.—Representative Martin, of South Da
kota, today introduced a bill in the House providing for a com
mission of five members with full power to regulate interstate
trade of corporations.
The bill is in line with suggestions by I resident Taft. It is
believed that an expert commission will be able to accomplish
for this branch of trade what the Interst ate Commerce Commis
sion has succeeded in doii/g in regulating rates, and will prove
more satisfactory to the government as \»11 as to corporations
engaging in interstate traffic. 1
ALASKA HUNGS
OF AM QUALITY
L. H. Smith, the well known pho.
tographer and carpenter of Chitina,
who is now working for the compa
ny in Cordova, has returned from a
trip to the hot springs near Juneau.
"The curative powers of the
springs in Alaska,” said he, "have
been proven to be as good as the fa.
mous Arkansas springs. The only
difference is that the latter have
many modern and civilised methods
of getting the money and have got.
ten the science down to a fine point
how to separate the vietim and his

ed individual in the world.
"As yet, this science has not been
extended to the Alaska hot springs. I
was at the Tenakee springs, 85 miles
from Juneau on Chichagof Island
and Tenakee Inlet, with a mail and
passenger service every six days on
the steamer Georgia.
"There are two stores, one »
grocery store, and the other a gen
eral tsore and postoffice. Every,
thing in the line of supplies can be
secured at moderate prices. There i»
no. attempt to hold any one up.

eral store and postoffice. Every
furnished rooms and cabins, also
furnished for housekeeping, to be
had from $6 to $8 per month. He
also has a club house furnished with
gloves, punching bag and other phys.
ical exercise equipment. Weekly
dances are held in the hall.
“Those who desire furnished
rooms and do not desire to cook for
tnemeslves can board out with pri
vate parties or patronize the restau.
rant.
“The temperature of the spring
ranges from 105 degrees to 108 de_
grees. According to an analysis the
water is principally sulphur, with a
-mall percentage of magnissin and
a very small percestage of Iron.
“On an average there are about
150 people at the springs during six
months of the year, mostly old sour,
loughs from the interior. And I
hink the government should either
illow the parties now at the springs
o go ahead and make improvements
o accommodate a larger number, or
ake hold itself and improve the
iprings. For they are great health
tiving resorts, and I daresay a"few
nonths’ treatment of the Indians
tnd others affected with diseases
'••ould do more than the expenditure
>f a large sum of money.
“In fact, it used to be the eustom
>f the Indiana to patronize these
tprings from various sections of the
;erritory.
“The demand for increased ac.
-ommodations is growing each year,
tnd it is hardly fair to deprive those

ruits of their labor and at the same
time force sourdough miners and

Alaska, the government reserves the
nineral springs so that private par.

know when they may be compelled
to move.
“The country in the vicinity of
the springs i* a sportman's paradise,
both for fishing and hunting. In
tact, taking everything Into consid
eration, if the goverment will allow
proper development, there is no rea.

Saturday, and will go Into service be.

will bring hundreds of tourists to
this section, while local people will
have the benefit of the large vessels

RICH GOLD QUARTZ
NEAR FAIRBANKS
Fairbanks is very hopeful that
soon large returns will be received
from the various quartz mines in
that vicinity. Twenty 'tons of ore
has been sacked from a new prop
erty, the Rexall No. 2. The work
men are driving a tunnel on the
strike of the small vein and are also
preparing to start a raise. The ore
is high in .old values, and from
rough estimates should go about
$100 to the ton.
