corn and stacking fodder in this location

DAILY ALASKAN FOR GOV.
 SWINEFoRD

The Daily Alaskan agrees that the political situation in Alaska seems to require that the friends of the Ameri- can principle of self-goYernment in the district should unite upon sdefnite line of action for the coming campaign, and it agrees that the only tangible and certain course that is open Tor them is to support Gov. SwiuefOrd for dele gate to congress. In everything else than his candidacy, if we are permitted to call it such thus early,at the present time there is either chaos or worse.
 In deciding to support Gov. Swine ford for delegate, the Daily Alaskan is rather endeayoring to eliminate person al politics than to inject 1t into the cam paign, though everything in the robust sanity, rugged honesty and sterling Americauism of his personality is in his favor. The Daily Alaskan supports him, however, for what he stands for rather than for what he is. It supports him because HE IS A PLATFORM in himself. It supports him because in him is pointed a sure way out Of a wilderness of contention and confusion
 Gov. Swineford stands for that which is highest and best iu civic Alaska. He is above section or faction or special interest, above party or creed HeI stands for 8 bigger and better Alaska, for an Alaska iu the government of which all the people of all sections, all factions and all interests will be represented. He stands for the gov ernment of Alaska by Alaskans. He would have all the questions, big and little, that concern the people adjusted by law making body selected by them selves. His election as delegate would eliminate sectionalism, factionalism and personalities. It would mean an American way of settling all our differ e,csseDS difFcu1ries
 h the executive office of this district more than 20 years ago Gov. Swtnetord began the battle to secure a republican form of government for Alaska, let him finish the fight and gain the vic- tory for which he has been contending on the floor of the national legislature as the chosen representative of the people for whom he has given a score of his best years.

DREDGE

Dawson, May 5.-Thereport has been received here that the Fortymile river, when 1t broke the last of the week, piled the ice six feet hrgh over the dredge of the Cansdian-Fortymile OIedging company. l. has been pre- dlcted by many old timers this winter that the dredge would be damaged in the spring.
 Mushers who have been up the For tymile have come down in small boats to Fortymile post since the river op- ened, and have wired here that the stream is open at least to the canyon.
 The dredge which was damaged is one that was built on the Dawson front last summer by J. J. Rutledge and others. The hull of the dredge comprises the two hulIs of the pioneer upper river steamers Ora and Flora.
