Alaska and the Fair.

The statement of Mr. Gale, congress sional delegate from Alaska, that the citizens of the northern country feel slighted because the exposition man agement has not given them represen- tation in it's organization, should re- ceive careful consideration. Alaska IS largely interested in the fair. There are many Alaskans thoroughly compe- tent to play an active part in the pro- motion of the enterprise.
 On the face of it, Alaska is entitled to representation. Of course there has been DO desire to overlook Alaska, or to question the fitness of Alaskans to participate in the management of the exposition.
 But if Alaskans feel that they should have representation in the Alaska-Yu- kon-Pacific exposition organization, certainly such representation should be accorded them. Mr. Gale, who may be regarded as we'll posted so far as the people of the north are concerned, says there is some feeling on account of this apparent oversight.
 The situation should be remedied. Lukewarmnsss in Alaska will not be good for the fair. Besides, it may be avoided by giving AIaskans the repre- sentation they seem to desire.-P.I.

The story of Billy Hogan is thrill inq one. He located his claim couple of years ago on what is now known as Hogau's bay, Knights island. One day he was working when he was caught by a premature explosion and blinded and his face terribly injured. He was alone and sightless, and some distance from his camp. He picked his way along the rocky coast, and in addition to his ter ribIe injuries twice was nearly drown ed in making his way home. IS was miraculous that he found his cabin, f. nally. At the time he considered his condition as practically hopeless, and that he would never see again. He de- eided to commit suicide, and was gro- ping about in his cabin to find some powder with which to end his agony when a friend happened along. He was taken to Ellamar and the sight of one eye was saved. Hogan is now spend ing his days about Valdez. A physician has promised him that continued treat ment will remove the powder evidences that are spread over his face, and that an artificial eye again will make him presentable. It is understood that he has sold his property for S65,OOO.
