CHITINA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1912,
IN MEMORY OF E. C. HAWKINS
Public memorial services for the late E. C. Hawkins will
be held in Cordova on Sunday. On this occasion there will be
an outpouring of our people to testify to the high regard and
devotion which they entertained for one of the most lovable
characters who ever came to this Northland. Tender and sym
pathetic to a fault, in his quiet and modest way, this sterling
man did a world of good for those who looked to him for as
sistance and strength to bear their burdens. There are hun
dreds of men and women in this section of Alaska who have
reason to know that the heart beats of this tried friend were
responsive in sympathy with them in their suffering, and
whose hand was ever ready to assist in their distress. Of him
it might truly be said, “If everyone for whom he has done
some kindly act could bring a blossom to his grave, he would
sleep tonight beneath a wilderness of flowers.”

THE WICKERSHAMITES INSISTENT
From a wire received this morning from Valdez, it is evi
dent that the Hon. James Wickersham will again be in the
running for delegate to Congress. He evidently does noY look
with favor on the naming of his old-time lieutenant, William
A. Gilmore, of Nome, as the Republican standard-bearer. And
yet here is where Judge Wickersham might have cemented that
harmony that he and his followers are always longing for. The
judge has repeatedly indicated his desire to retire from poli
tics, and when his opponents went the full length of naming
as his successor one of his former followers, the Wickersham
ites had it within their power to gracefully accept the boon and
turn in with an unanimity of support that would undoubtedly
mean the election of Mr. Gilmore. But, no, harmony can only
be brought about one way. And that way is to permit the
Wickershamites to completely dominate the politics of all
Alaska, city as well as territory.
BORDERING ON A CRIMINAL FARCE
Is it any wonder that the collection of the road tax in some
parts of Alaska is regarded as an outrageous farce 1 A refer
ence to the report of the collections in the Chitina precinct will
certainly justify the various political parties in designating
this tax as an abomination, and demanding that the law be re
pealed. In this instance the collection was demanded from a
portion of the men in the Chitina precinct. The men employed
by the railroad company who were drawing good salaries were
not approached, but the laboring man was quickly brought to
time. Such miners as would stand for the discriminate col
lection were made to pay up, but when Sir Roland visited a
camp and the men chased him away, he stood not upon cere
mony, but never came back to invoke the penalty of the law.
That was only for the poor devil who couldn’t help himself.
The collection was not conducted in such a way as to benefit
the country. It was rather a personal matter for the benefit of
U. S. Commissioner Healy, through his brave and stalwart
brother, Sir Roland, and Overseer F. M. Schaupp, to whom
the law allows but $40. Of course the law said nothing about
the payment of $300 to another member of the Schaupp house
hold, or of $968 to an alien Healy. But the most remarkable
circumstance in connection with the gathering in of the 1911
road taxes in the Chitina precinct is the fact that after the
money had been apportioned that there should remain over
one hundred dollars in the treasury. And it should not be for
gotten that of the money collected $180 was, according to the
report, actually expended for the improvement of the roads
in the precinct. The work done by 125 men on the roads can
not be charged up against the Healy regime. These men re
fused to pay the money, preferring to work out the tax. Of
course Healy was mad about it, but he dared not throw the
men into jail.

One of these clays Uncle Sam will put in a new cable be
tween Cordova and Seattle, and then there won’t be so many
interruptions. It was only five weeks ago that there was a
break that required a week to repair. And now we are in for
it again. It is to be hoped that these interruptions are not to
be regular monthly affairs.

As practically all the political parties have declared for
the appointment of Alaskans to fill government offices in Alas
ka, there should be nothing to it—but Alaskans.
It is to be noted that on the Pacific Coast the female vote
hag been strongly on the side of conservatism. They voted
down Socialism at Los Angeles, and at the same election in
Seattle where they defeated Gill, they voted down the single
tax. Of course, the Socialist and single taxers will not concede
this to be a recommendation; but a larger number of the voters
of the country will feel more assurance that to grant female
suffrage will not be an element of unmeasureable disturbance.
At all events, it is plain that the trend in that direction is
Strong. The Ohio Constitution voted by over two to one to sub
mit complete woman suffrage to a vote of the people next fall.
Four other states have taken the same action, namely, Wiscon
sin, Kansas, Nevada and Oregon. The outcome is not certain,
but the chance is good for a large addition to the list of wo
man suffrage states.
George Howard Birch, manager of
the Dan Creek Mining Company, and
brother of Stephen Birch, general
manager of the Kennecott Mines Co.,
was an arrival on the Northwestern.
He spent the winter in New York.
He will go by first train to his min
ing property, where he has installed
a big hydaulic plant and expects to
take out considerable gold this sea
son.
George Max Esterly, who has been
operating in the Nizina country for
a-number of years past, arrived on
the Northwestern. He is sending in
tons of pipe and other supplies from
McCarthy's to Rex and Chittitu
creeks, where he is installing a big
hydraulic plant.
There is strong hope that the work
mapped out for this season by the
Alaska Road Commission may be car
ried out. Col. Richardson cabled to
Lieut. Weeks the other day that the
Senate committee had included the
*125,000 asked for in the army bill.
The appropriation ha3 excellent
chances of passing. The larger por
tion of the work this summer will
be done on the Valdez-Fairbanks
trail and the Chitina-Willow Creek
cut-off. Several bridges will be con
structed, one over Gunn creek be
yond Paxson’s roadhouse, and an
other across Stewart creek near
Heaver Dam. The much needed
bridge across the Xizina river will
probably be constructed this summer.
There has been a demand for this im
provement for many years and ow
ing to the extensive mining opera
tions going on in that section the
bridge is greatly needed. The lack
of it has already cost the lives of sev
eral prospectors.
Several years ago the stock of the
Hubbard-Elliott Co. was selling at a
premium in Chicago. But since then
the company has had its ups and
downs, and for some time past there
ha3 been no work done at the prop
erty, which is located near the Kus
kulina glacier, about 17 miles from
Strelna, on the railroad. A recent
number of the New York Mining
Age has the following:
"The Hubbard-Elliott Company
announces in Chicago that steps are
under way for the re-financing of the
company. These negotiations, in
fact, have advanced sufficiently for
the corporation to postpone its an
nual meeting in order to proceed
with the deal. The company, above
all, needs better transportation fa
cilities, and there is a possibility of
Copper River & Northwestern .Rail
road building a branch to the Hub
bard-Elliott.
Last year a great deal of work was
accomplished at the property, though
it was all of an exploratory charac
ter and no material earnings from
the sale of ore were obtained. The
company is now face to face with the
necessity of obtaining additional
money to develop this ground, and
the management is endeavoring to
formulate a policy, which may call
for a voluntary contribution on the
part of the shareholders to the ex
tent of 5c per share. There is still in
the treasury 1,845,000 shares of
stock.
‘‘Eastern shareholders hope that
some definite announcement of this
kind will soon be forthcoming, as the
property has now been under devel
opment for so long a time that re
sults should soon be demonstrated
one way or the other.”
The traveling public will find the
Overland Hotel a comfortable and
reasonable place to stop.
