OARSMEN PLEAD
FOR FAIR PLAY
specia, Dispatch to Tn. Call

The boating representatives OF the
University of California are out with
sportsmanlike statement which
should do much to end the controversy
between the two universities regarding
a suitable course for the inter-
collegiate boat race. 1t is pointed out,
truthfully, that unusual weather con-
ditions prevailed on the estuary last
year on the day of the intercollegiate
race, and that a recurrence of such
conditions is not likely. The state
ment of the Berkeley men follows:
The misconceptions. both general and par
ticular, touching the respective views of
stanford and California on the rowing ques-
tion so likely at present to ruin the bright
prospects or Intercollegiate boating in Cali
1ornia that 1t seems best to vary the monotony
OF the proceedings by shedding the light of
truth on the subject.
Briefly, the positions of the two universities
follows: Stanford's objections to the
Oakland estuary race course are based,
first. on the possibility of rough water for the
day of the race; second, on the presumption
that California practices on this race course
and, therefore. will have the advantage OF
more familiarity with whatever rough water,
eddies, tides, whirlpools other hidden or re-
vealed benefits and detriments the stream may
provide; third, that as the cardinal made the
concession Of rowing there last year and found
the elements too harsh for her infant oars
men the blue and gold should, as John l..
Sullivan once remarked. ''reciprocate with re-
turn by yielding everything this year to
Stanford; and, lastly, that the general senti-
ment at Stanford is bitterly opposed to the
estuary that there would be no Stanford sup
porters to cheer the cardinal to victory
California's answers TO these objections are
that last year the day Of the race was an un-
fortunate exception to the general rule Of
smooth water for the estuary in the morning
and early part of the afternoon. Furthermore,
she AYERS that she does not practice there, but
on the other end of the estuary and on the
canal. She will also sign agreement to re-
main away from this course. More than this,
she will give Stanford every opportunity the
latter may desire to study all the advantages
these mysterious waters may conceal from the
ordinary human eye. She also feels, and Just
ly that Stanford's reiteration of the belief
that California does practice there and does
possess the occult knowledge imputed to her
is in the face of the latters sincere state
rnents and promises deliberate and unwar-
ranted insult to her rowing men. She believes
also that rough water is more beneficial
to her than to Stanford. The course at Red
wood ~ quite choppy is the canal where
California is still trying to steady her shell.

A1aska's New Friends.

The action of the senate in de- feating the bill to give the people of Alaska a delegate to represent their interests before congress has excited considerable adverse com ment in newspapers in the East, which have now a much clearer idea of conditions in Alaska than was had few years ago.
 The Washington Post is exceed ingly disrespectful to the senate. As the Post puts it, the average senator learned years ago that Alaska was purchased from Rus sia and has learned nothing con- corning it since. It says that "to him Alaska is stretch of wilder ness dotted with Esquimaus suck ing bits of blubber."
 The New York Sun quotes from the Washington Post on this sub ject. and follows it up with this: ''The claims of Alaska are at least fairly well founded. The region is probably quite as well qualified for territorial government as Hawaii is. It certainly has far greater number of American-born whites within it's borders than has the lit- tie group of islands out in the Pa- cifc. Its 25.OOO people of that class would appear to have as much right to a delegate in con gress as the Porto Ricans have" The Sun goes on to show that the commercial value of Alaska is greater. according to treasury sta tistics than any one of the other outlying territories, all of which have received better treatment at the hands of congress.-P.I.

The change in the ports of call

The change in the ports of call made by the Santa Clara has se- riously disarrsnged the interior and westward mail service, The boat should have been here on the first to connect with the interior mail, which was delayed two days waiting for her. Mail for the west, which should have been taken by this boat, will have to lie over here until the Excelsior arrives, about the 10th. This disregard for the conditions of the contract under which the Santa Clara is carrying mail is entirely wrong and unjus- titiable, and it is to be hoped that the department will impose a fine on the company that will cause it to pay some attention to the mail service hereafter.

Governor Called Down

Washington, April At has leaked ont here that President Roosevelt, through Secretary Hitchcock, has asked Governor Brady cOnditionally for his resie- nation. It appears that the gov ernor has associated his name in his official capacity with the Rev nolds-Alaska Development Co.,, which has been doing extensive advertising throughout the States. The governor has been informed that he must either withdraw CT . tirely from all mining schemes in the district, or hand in his resig- nation. The request for his resig- nation was made about a month ago, but he has made no reply as yet. The president is emphatic ally opposed to any of the Alaska officials using their positions to further their interests in business way, and it is reported that charges of similar nature against other of the district officials are being in- vestigated.

 Louisville, April 4-Roosevelt to-day delivered notable address here to an audience of ten thous- and people in front of the court house. He received a tremendous ovation. He continues this even- ing on his trip to Arizona to hunt big game.
 Washington, April, 4-In spite of the denial of the department of justice that Marshal Powell has been recalled, the rumor is still prevalent and seems to be well founded. It is probable that the recall will catch the marshal at Fairbanks. It is known that secret service men have been at work in Portland investigating the stories about Powell. Senator Fulton has been using every endeavor to ex- onerate the marshal.

J. w. lvey, in an article in the Washington Post, waxes eloquent in summarizing why the people of Alaska want to be annexed to Canada. He says the prime req son is because the people are tired of being saddled with obnoxious federal officials who are afflicted with chronic grafticus. This req son would hardly appeal to the men who were responsible for t he annexation movement.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-04-06

The news that Governor Brady has been asked to resign is hardly surprising in view of the activity he has displayed in mining deals lately. We have always contend cd that there was no specific req son for the numerous complaints against Brady, but if it is true that he has been using his official posi- tion to assist in selling mining stock. that is good ground for complaint. There are very few officials in this country who do not use their positions to advance business interests of various kinds, but they do not make it public by signing an appeal to the people to invest in their stocks.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-04-06

When the chamber of commerce was asked to indorse the contract for six day mail from Seattle to Valdez it nearly caused split-up because some one suggested that the steamship company be tied down so that they woald have to call here first. The idea that thls company would do anything against the best interests of the town was out of the question. What do you think of it now?
The Alaska prospector., 1905-04-06

There is considerable speculation as to who will be the new commits sioner at Fairbanks. Local poli- iticians disagree in the matter, some claiming the race is between J. l.. McGinn, formerly of Nome. and Fred NJ. Brown, of Valdez. Others think it will be Fairbanks man, and mention Van Slvck and Crandail as possibilities. If it is a tact, as reported, that Fred Brown went to Fairbanks to work for the place, he must have had inside in side information regarding the con- templated change in officials which would warrant the idea that he stands a good chance of winning out.
