TALKS OF
 ALASKA Attorney Fink Returns From Washington.
SOME LEGISLATION
For Alaska Sure to Pass at Pres. ent Session of Congress-
 May Get Land Office.

Attorney Albert Fink visited Wash ington, DC. last winter and on his re- turn to Seattle he had the following to say in an interview in the Post lntell- gencer:
 'In conversation with senators and representatives while in Washington found that they were disposed to do something for Alaska at this session. Nearly, if not all of them, are opposed to territorial form of government, es- pecially since the report of the sena- torial committee has been made known. They are in favor, however of allow ing the district delegate to congress- to be appointed by the president.
 "ln this manner the district will be well represented, as it is conceded that the president will select the very best man for the place. The need of land office is also appreciated by the nation al legislators, and l believe a bill for the establishment of one at Nome will pass both houses.
 Amendments to the code were also discussed by the friends of Alaska in Washington. One of these will no doubt be on the section referring to the filing of incorporation papers. As it is now, papers of incorporation must be first filed with the clerk of the court in each division, and before they can be issued must be sent ,O Stka and return AS this form of procedure takes great deal Of time, corporations are formed in the States. An amendment to the code permitting the clerk of each divi- sion to issue incorporation papers with out first sending them to Sitka would prove popular, especially to the corpo- rations doing business in Alaska.
 ''While in Washington | learned that the Northwestern Alaska delegation to the Republican national convention. represented by the Johnson, or reg ular, faction would be seated. This delegation consists of Judge Johnson and Col. w. T. Perkins as delegates, and Capt. Baldwin and myself as alter mates. We were elected at the regular convention held in Nome, and seated in the Juneau convention. as against a trump convention led by Dr. Whitehead and Judge Watson. National Commit teeman Held, for Alaska. told me there was no question that we would be seat ed. He also said that the president was greatly pleased over the senti- ments expressed by the Juneau con- vention, which declared for him first, last and all the time.
 "Alaska stands well in New York in business sense. 1 met q number of financial men who seemed much inter- eSted in the business outlook of the North, and they are willing to put up their money if they can be shown fair investment. l met two men in New York who are figuring on operat- ing a couple of fast passenger steamers on the Nome run.

PERHAPS A SUICIDE
A Hunt Is Going on for the Body of
 Bernhard Wandel.

It is almost certain that the body of suicide is lying somewhere about this community but at late hour last night is had not been found. Last Sat urday morning an cid man by the name of Bernhard Wandel came to town hav- ing walked all the way from Gila Bend. He was d baker and had been working in California He knew one man in Phoenix, Christian Benzing, a baker employed at the Phoenix bakery. He applied there for work but there was no opening at that time and tempor- ary employment was found for him at HoShe's restaurant where he went to work at once as a dish washer. He gut in one day there. He told hs friend on Saturday night that he be- lieved that he would commit suicide. His friend talked him cut of it, or thought he had talked him out of is but all Saturday evening h. seemed very Respondent.
 On Sunday morning he did not ap-
 scar at the restaurant for work and nothing was seen of him during the day. Yesterday morning Mir. Benzing received a letter which had been mailed the day before. It was from Wande',
 who said that he had determined to die and he tod Benzing that his b-dy would be found at the foot of Seventh avenue in the river. He gave some other directions regarding his family and said that he was utterly discour- aged: there was TO use for him to struggle any Icnger. He had grown ] too old and helpless to work and he 1 had no other means of living.
 | The letter V hich was iI. German was translated and taken to the office of | the sheriff Deputies oscar Roberts and Dick Newton went the foot of l Seventh avenue but could find noth 'ng
 of the body They made 9 circuit -cf i the country lying in the river and ex- plored every clump of bushes within 1 it. They could find no trail except the l travelled road which leads acr ss the river It was evident that if Wandel
 had committed suicide he had changed 1 his mind about the place where he was
 going to die. It was thought possible
 that he might have followed the road
 through the dense jungle across the
 river and in that case the body would
 be found by accident as the bodies of all
 suicides are.
 l. is known that Wandel was once in
 business in Baltimore and that he was very wealthy. His family still resides
 there. He lost all Of his property an
 then tock up the trade of baker out of
 which he had accumulated his wealth. He travelled all over the country and
 had been in California for several ! years. In his last letter he gave the | address of his wifc as, Mrs Justine

 ARIZONA BOY HONORED-Alex- ander Baker, better known as Bro ther,7 the fourteen year old son of Judge Baker cut some figure in the late national democratic convention. Through the influence of the Missouri delegation he was made one of the pages Of the convention. It was not forgotten by the members of the dele- gatlon that his father had once stirred that state by his pulpit eloauence and they were kindly disposed toward ths son. Not long ago it was mentioned in The Republican that Alexander Baker was going to the fair. He had been planning for it long time and had been saving his money. He madt all his arrangements and paid all his expenses He went to St. Louis all alone but he had read up extensively so that he knew what to do. He fell among the thieves at the outset. They charged him S3.50 day for place to sleep but on account of the price he could not sleep much. He got up ear ly in the, morning and found better place for a dollar a day. Since then he has made no mistakes.
