romance that started in the north
15 years ago culminated in this city
last night, when the wedding bells
rang for Edward Erickson, a Port
land contractor, and Miss Alma
Lewis, recently a nurse at the hos
pital in Fairbanks. The couple first
met at Dawson and have been

last night. It was witnessed by a
number of former Alaskans.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.—A day
back it looked as though the pre
liminaries had all been satisfactorily
arranged for the transfer of the
government to the Constitutionalists
but the war party is again in con
trol and demand that certain con
cessions be agreed to by Carranza.
They are backed by President Car

way into the capital. Gen. Medina
Barron has been appointed com
mander-in-chief of the federal
forces.

tions of Paul Warburg of New York

grief in all Washington circles, as
Mrs. 'Wilson was a woman generally
beloved.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. — The
condition of Mrs. Wilson is critical.
She became unconscious early last
night and at times it was feared
that she could not survive long.
This morning a bulletin was issued
stating that while she had slightly
improved there was little hope for

was decided that the city should be
surrendered unconditionally to the
Constitutionalists. President Car

until last night that the Democratic
convention finally nominated a can

tion on the committee.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5.—Presi
dent Carbajal, members of congress
and representatives of the army are
discussing the question of turning
over the government unconditionally
to Carranza. It is feared that dur
ing the delay of negotiating, rebel
uprisings would again complicate
matters. *

has virtually proclaimed his inde
pendence from Carranza. With Gen.
Felipe Angeles he is now organizing
an army and planning for the dis
tribution of lands in the northern
states of Mexico.
LONDON, Aug. 11.—The example
set by Mrs. Margaret Stockman, of
Hampstead Garden Suburb, in so
framing her will as to disinherit her
only son if women don’t get the vote,
before her death is likely to be fol
lowed by other prominent and
wealthy woman suffragists, accord
ing to a statement made by her
today. Tinder the. terms of the
will, as recently altered by Mrs.
Stockman, all her property will go to
her only daughter and to her other
female relatives, unless parliament
passes a woman suffrage bill before
the instrument becomes operative.
One of the best known Alaskans
who has spent much time in recent
years endeavoring to secure legis
lation from Congress that would
tend to the development of the ter
ritory, is Donald A. McKenzie, who
now adds “Cordova" after his sig
nature. He it is who is at the head
of the company that has secured
title to the townsite of Nelson, but
a few miles distant from this town
and at the head of Orca Bay. Mr.
McKenzie., accompanied by his wife,
recently returned to Seattle, after a
lengthy stay in Washington. They
sailed on the steamer Northwestern
and will arrive in Cordova tomor
row morning. Speaking of his trip
and Alaska in general Mr. McKenzie
in an interview said:
“I expect to remain there until
fall. I shall ultimately make ar
rangements to live in the north for
good. I have been a legal resident
of Alaska for 16 years, although
iVe been in Washington City much
of that time fighting for our exist
ence. The only thing that ever did
hold back our progress was the lid
put on so tightly by Washington
City.”
Mr. McKenzie is enthused over the
prospects for Alaska’s future and
says that everywhere he finds re
newed interest in the territory and
its opportunities. Speaking on this
subject he says:
“The publicity given the territory
during the fight for the passage of
the railroad bill, and the final suc
cess of the measure, have done
much to revive hope and stimulate
interest in Alaska. The Guggenheims
it has been recently announced, are
to spend millions in development
next year, and I have met several
of the smaller operators who have
now been able to get capital for
which they have been waiting. One
operator named Schmidt raised
$150,000 within the last few weeks
around Davenport and Des Moines,
la, for a dredging proposition at
Rampart, on the Manook, and an
other man with a quartz undertak
ing has just raised $250,000 in
Omaha. I found several New' York
men who were ready to operate in
the Copper River country. Many cf
the old operators who left the coun
try several years ago are, going back
now that there is a chance through
the railroad, to get in tneir machin
ery and labor without prohibitive
expense.
“There are hundreds of low-grade
copper properties in the country,
particularly in the Copper River
district, which is 200 miles long by
50 miles wide. In that region,
within two years more than 100
copper mines will be operating. This
means 100 new villages. The Bering
river coal field, coal from which
makes excellent coke, is within this
radius. This will assist the develop
ment of the copper, and there is
plenty of room and resources in that
region for a population of 100,000.”
“I feel sure that there will be
500,000 people in Alaska within 10
years. That means something to
Seattle. It means a doubling of the
population of this city. Figure this
out: With only 35,000 whites in all
Alaska they a?e giving the United
States a. trade of $2,000 a year for
each man, woman and child. That’s
about $70,000,000 isn’t it? What
other region is doing anything like
that?”
Mr. McKenzie says he has no
patience with the idea that appears
to be held in certain quarters that
additional legislation is necessary to
make available the. money appropri
ated by the Alaska railroad bill for
the construction of the lines in the
north.
“The matter is in the hands of the
president,” he said, “and the money
can be taken direct from the treas
ury from time to time, without fur
ther legislation. The president has
delegated practically the whole mat
ter to Secretary Lane. As a matter
of fact, we. could not find a presi
dent would would go farther to aid
Alaska than Mr. Wilson, or a secre
tary of the interior who could exe
cute the details more efficiently than
Mr. Lane.”
“There is other legislation,” Mr.
McKenzie says, “that is needed for
the proper development of Alaska.
The proposed federal commission to
handle the details of lands and fish
eries and forestry and telegraph,
which are now scattered through a
number of separate and sometimes
warring bureaus, would be a fine
-thing for Alaska. This should be
urged before Congress. At present
it costs a man more to get a home
stead in Alaska than the. thing Is
worth. Under Secretary Lane’s plan
for a resident federal commission to
deal with these matters, all this
business could be handled expedi
tiously, and there would be more.

SEATTLE, Aug. 11.—Capt. John
Kenzie, a retired officer of the army,
after a few days illness died at his
home in this city.
