Stikeen River journal. (Fort Wrangel, Alaska) 1898-1899, 1898-06-11
Wrangel Recognized.

The Alaskan published at Sitka. in
its issue of June 4th says:
The following is a full text of reso.
luton presented to the court by Viii.
loughby Clark by which it will appear
that Wrangel is not only coming to the
front but feels her Importance and il
asserting her right.
The resolution was favorably con.
sidered by the court, and Wrangels
right to Il term of court was recognized
and Mr. Clark was assured that term
of court would be held there as soon It's
the volume of business warrants it.
Following is the certified copy of the
resolution passed by the Wrangel
chamber of commerce at their regular
meeting held at Wrangel on May >,
1893.
Whereas, under the provisions of the
act of May II, 1884 AN act providing "a
a civil government for Alaska) two
regular terms of the L. S. district
court We're provided for one to open at
Sitka on the first Monday in May and
one to open at Wrangel on the first
Stikeen River journal. (Fort Wrangel, Alaska) 1898-1899, 1898-06-11

Monday in November of each year, and,
Whereas, the sparseness of the popu-
lation of Wrangcl made it incxpcdient
heretofore to hold term of said court
at Wrangel, and,
Whereas, the recent large influx of
people into that town has removed the
objections heretofore existing in refer
ence to opening the term of said court
then, as provided by law, and
Whereas, the increased population
has necessarily increased the amount
of litigation in proportion.
Now, Therefore, be it Resolved, that
the condition of the town in reference
to its ability to furnish it's quota of
jurors, etc, be officially presented to
the Honorable Charles S. johnson,
Judge of the United States district
court, and that he be respectfully urged
to hold the next regular term of the
district court at Wrangel as provided
by law. II. A. WILSON,
President

Appropriation by Congress for
Purpose of Asccrtainirg the
the Agricultural ResOur-
ceS OF Alaska.

Congress having appropriated $4,000
to DC expended under the direction of
the Secretary of Agriculture for the
purpose of asccrtaining the resources
ANA capabilities of agriculture in
Alaska, Prof G. {. Gcorgeson has been
appointed special agent in charge of
the Alaska Investigations and Mr. II.
l.. Ball has been appointed section di-
rector of the weather bureau. Through
the courtesy of Register John w.
Dudley and Receiver Roswell Shelley,
they have established their headquart-
ers in the L. S. land office at Sltka.
In an interview Prof. Georgcson said :
1t is my duty to ascertain as far as pos
siblc to what extent agriculture is
feasible in all parts of Alaska, and in
order to determine what crops can be
grown here, and the best methods
of growing them. am authorized to
Withdraw from the public domain such
tracts of land rs may be suitable for ex-
detrimental purposes. Gov. Brady has
placed atmy disposal the ground ad-
joining his residence, and he has made
arrangements with Supt. Kelly of the
Mission for the use of some of the land
owned by the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions. A full record will be
kept of the vegetation of the crops, al
50 of the soil temperature at various
depths in order to learn the difference
between Alaska and the states. When
permanent stations are established
live stock will be kept and the agricul-
tural work will be carried out on a
large scale. During the present year
some silos will be built with a view to
experiment in the preservation of fod-
der for cattle. using native grass. The
The purpose OF all as contemplated by
congress and the secretary, is to see
what can be done to aid the large pop
ulation that is now coming to Alaska in
maintaining themselves in the district.
At present it is impossible to state
where the stations will be: it is the in
tentlon to locate one or two on the
coast. one in the interior some distance
from the coast and one on the Yukon

History of Wrangel.

Fort Wrangel was founded in the
year 1893 by Baron Ferd inand =. Won
Wrangell, the Russian governor OF
Alaska. The same year block house
inclosed by stockade was erected on
the peninsula in Etolin bay, now occu-
pied by George Shakes, the Klinket
indian chief, where the ancient totem
pole is with bear on top and bear
tracks on the pole leading up from
the ground Only the stumps of the
stockade remain.
The same year British brig at
tempted to enter the Stikeen river,
but was fired on from the Russian
fort. and abandoned the trip.
In 1871 the district of Wrangel was
leased to the Hudson Bay company,
who hoisted the British flag, and occu-
pied the country several years.
In 1865 the L. S. government erected
the buildings around the government
plaza at cost of $150,00O. Soldiers
were stationed here for awhile. y few
years later the buildings We're sold to
w. X. Lear for 5000, but afterwards
the government took them back

the bill giving the first government
to the Northwest territory though diff
fcring in some particulars. The bill
defines IL new district to be known as
the Yukon district and provides for the
appointment of II commissioner to ad-
minister the government under instruc-
tions from time to time from Ottawa.
Then there is provided for the appoint-
ment of II council to be composed of not
more than six persons to assist the
commissioner in the government of the
district. 1t is proposed to confer upon
the commissioner and council powers
and ordinances like those conferred
upon the executive of British colonial
possessions. The ordinances are sub
jcct to disallowance by the Governor
General in council, the same as ordi-
nances passed by the council of the
territories, the powers to be exercised
by IL commissioner, and the commission
er-in-council. shall from time to time
be decided upon by the Governor
General in council, and shall never be
larger than those possessed by a prov
ince of the Dominion. Owing to- the
scarcity of information about the
country, it is thought necessary to con-
fer large powers on the minister and
Govcrnor-General in council, which
means the Dominion cabinet for the
time being. It is not the intention to
give the minister of the interior per-
sonal control of the large matters APP
pertaining to the government. That
discretionary power will be exercised
by the whole cabinet. The minister
will have control of the administration.

Portland Politics in Alaska.

Collector lvey and Deputy Collector
FLOYD have been indicted by the grand
jury ut Sitka. This is precisely rs it
should be. The friends of those gent
lemen need have no fears for their
safety nor for their vindieation. But
most excellent purpose will have
been served before the case is over and
done with.
First, band of discriminating con-
spirators will he uncarthed and sluiccd
up. n we might say in the land of the
miner. Second. the indictments will
compel MIR. lvey and his associates to
understand that ours will bark and
snap at their heels until they stop and
kick back. which thy have been loath
to believe up till now. Third, the air.
ing of the whole matter will show to
utterly absurd the prohibitive laws for
Alaska are. The department must
learn some things that it seems not to
know now, namely, that one official in
VIC tuSttlllS HOUSE, service Oh AluSkd
cannot do his duty in the enforcement
of one law without the violation of an
other.
But. best of all. and last. the present
ENHANCEMENT in the service is the be-
ginning of the end of Oregon domina-
ton in the affair of Alaska. The fight
against lvey and Floyd is Portland
politics pure and simple, and Portland
is the drties. lowest most contemplate
politics on earth. 1t is Doodle, rotten
borough politics. operated so far from
home that even the little dcccncy left
at Portland would be ashamed of its
methods.
Let us have air in this matter and
plenty of it. lvey and Floyd can bear
the sunlight: let us open up the reek-
ing. Odiferous mass that has imbedded
itself around them. Then when it is
all over, and everything is sweet and
clean. and the laws changed properly
as they should be, Ivey and Floyd. and
and their efficient corps can show the

Three Men Lost.

The Alaskan, published at Stka in
its issue of May %. says:
On the Both March last. just two
months ago, I. II. Bale merchant: All
Poy. Chinaman, tnaturalizedl. and
Herman Thomas. laborer left here on
the schooner City of Sitka intending to
proceed to Fort Wrangel. and return
in three weeks. The people employed
in the caEnery at Red Fish bay report
the party putting in there but since
that time inquiries made at the different
ports and even indian villages along
the route have failed to elicit any in
formation which might lead to the dis
every of the whereabouts of the miss
ing men or of their fate.
1t is well known that their ship was
ill-provisioned and further more, not
one of the party was intimately ac-
quainted with the route they started
to traverse, nor were they what may
be termed sailors accustomed to the
handling OF a craft in these waters.
Added to this the canvas bent on the
vessel was so rotten that half a gale
of wind would, probably, blow it to
tatters. All this can be vouched for
by those who saw them start and were
we'll acquainted with all the cir
cumStanceS.

that Mr. Bale and his companions have
met with a watery grave.
