HOGGATT IGNORES
 ALL FOR HASEY
Guggenheim Officials Wait While Governor and His
 Henchman Converse.

When the Yucatan tied up at Jun eau last Saturday Ed Hasey hustled down the gangplank and greeted Gov. Hoggatt, who was standing on the dock, and the twain walked to one side and held long, confidential conversation, while other distinguish ed Guggenheims stood back and wait ed for the goveruor to recognize them. S w. Eccles and w. R. Rust, Frank Burns and Stephen Birch were pas sengers on the Yucatan but the gov ernor saw them not until he finished his confab with Hasey.
 The interview was strictly private and as no report of it's subject matter has been passed along to curious public the world remains in ignorance of the affairs of state, war or finance which were discussed by the Damon and Pythias of Guggenheimdom Mayhap the proletariat will never know whether the Guggenheim's gov ernor and minister of war were fram- ing up a new system for the complete subjugation of Alaska Roughnecks who resist the rule of Hoggatt and Hasey, or were merely arranging for Hasey to keep the peace on election day, in Cordova, whither he was drifting.
 Nevertheless this beautiful scene afforded much interest to spectators and not little to the big Guggen- helms on the boat who figured in the Hoggatt game like rural callers in the White House waiting for the pres ident to get through talking to Bill Taft!

VALE THOMAS GALE

Since Thomas Gale has seen it at the eleventh hour to quit the Alaska friends who have stood by him ever since he was elected delegate the action is really not a source of grief. Mir. Gales motives may be of the best but the Vacillating course he pursued regarding his candidacy for nearly six months had already con Vinccd many. of his supporters that he lacked thcsfibcr to represent them at Washington as they would like to be represented. They were still sup porting him because it seemed to be the only thing to do under the cir cumatanCCS.
 The Gale support will go to Judge WickcrSham .. excepting those men who for reasons satisfactory to them selves are strongly opposed to Wick crsham in all things. However, near ly all of WiCkcrsham' enemies were already in either the Corson or Roman anks, SO he will not lose many Gale
 otes and he will draw some votes that Gale could never have received.
 The contest between Wickcrsham and Corson is likely to be close and however it may result the territory will be represented at Washington by an able man, much above the calibcr of the average state congre saman. In this end of the Third division the vote will nearly all be for WickershaIn, chiefly on his own account, but he will receive some support for the sole reason that he represents the anti Hoggatt fight, which is not bad reason alone although narrow one.

ROMAN Is AGAINST
 EIGHT HOUR LAW

Fairbanks, July 20-John Roman, as delegate from Alaska to con gress has caused surprise to his opponents and c0nsternation to his supporters by publicly announcing his repudiation of the eight hour plank in the democratic platform. Roman makes his statement in this regard in an interview published in the Fairbanks Times, his personally owned paper, and he declared that if he goes to congress he will oppose the eight hour law as he considers it to be class legislation.
 Romans supporters have counted on swinging in his behalf considra- ble per cent of the minig vote be- cause of the fact that he used to be a miner until he "struck it rich" They have however, realized that to do this means hard work because of Romans activity in fighting the miners organization but they figured on controlling the vote of those miners who while holding faith in union principles nevertheless repudi- ated the methods adopted by the heads of the organization in the Panama.
 Now, in the face of Romans declar- ation against the eight hour law, his supporters can see little hope of hold ing in line those miners who have ex- pressed friendliness toward the can didate, let alone lining up the hereto fore doubtful. It is believed by those who oppose Roman that he is going to make q strong bid for the vote controlled by the mine owners, fgur- ing that they will oppose Wicker sham because of the latter's stand for the eight hour law.

CONCERNING CHEAPER COAL

The chamber of commerce is en- gagged in the commendable effort of trying to obtain cheaper coal for Valdez and nothing other than the stupidity of the people as whole stands in the way of success. The people, however, must stand behind the chamber in this regard for unless there is unity of'purpose the plan will fall of its own weight and before long present conditions will resume sway.
 There is no doubt that the com pany at present supplying the town With coal at SIS ton will make a sweeping reduction as soon as the chamber of commerce enters the field. In fact certain business men of the town have even now been soli- cited for orders at SlO a ton, said orders being sought by agents of the coal company.
 There is only one thing to do and that i% for all of the citizens to stand by the chamber and thus make it pos- siblc for all time to obtain fuel at q rcasOnab!" price. In order that it's plan may be successful the chamber must purchase coal in large quanti- ties, and it may be necessary for the first 1 ,UO0 tons tu be disposed of at a pric" considerably in advance of the price sure tO be set by the coal com pany. Once this 1 ,O00 tons is paid for, however, the chamber from that time on will be in a position to guar antcc coal for at least Sll a ton, and perhaps less.
 Valdez probably consumes annually 5000 tons of coal the price paid rang ing from SlI to SIS a ton according to the amomnt and quantity purchased. Placing $l6 a ton as the average paid now, coat at $ll ton will mean q saving to Valdez of S25, ,OOO in one year. TO make this possible it is only necessary for the people of Val d"Z to support the chamber of com mcrcc; otherwise it will be cheap coal for month or SO and then pres rnt conditions will prevail

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE?"

Representative Humphrey of Wash ington, is one of those members of congress who blame the "people of Alaska" because it is alleged they can not agree upon the kind of legis- lation wanted. Mi. Humphrey must have run across the spoor of Alaska's white elephant, Governor Hoggatt, last winter, in the national capital. Delegate Gale was there of course, and he, the elected representative of the people, and Hoggatt, the appoin- tee of the federal administration, were at swords point all the time. There was a continual clash between the peoples representative and the representative of bureaucracy and plutocracy; and so, because of this, sundry and divers sapient congress sional sapheads come to the conclu- sion that the 'people of Alaska" can not agree upon such legislation as they need. It is q mere subterfuge, open and palpable, on the part of con- gressmen.
 We are willing to admit that Mir. Gale has made mistakes during his brief career in congress. His mayer ick territorial bill proves that, but he nevertheless represents the people, while Mir. Hoggatt represents some thing else. Yet the Alaska people must bear the blame and be the suf- ferers because of the disagreements and unseemlS bickerings, frequent and sometimes disgusting, between the delegate and the lobbyist. If congress wants to enact Legislation for Alaska it's duty is plain. It must listen to the man coming direct from the people, and not to the man direct from the corporation and the govern ment bureau. If the peoples repre- sentative fathers fool bills, like Gales foundling, his constituents can soon get busy and head him again on the right path. But when the people put their trust in corporation captains and quartcr-dcck bureaucrats, like Governor liOggatt, their interests are sure to suffer. They will find them selves bcfoolcd and bcdamncd.-Ka talla Herald.

LOUISIANA LAW
 HARD 0N BOOzERS

New Orleans, July 2t--Louisiana is bound hard and dry by the new liquor law just placed in effect in the state. The law is so stringent that it's eno- mics declare that it punishes even thinking about anything of an alcoholic nature.
 The citizens of the state are not the only ones to be inconvenienced by the law for 1t makes it q misde- meanor to take nip from one's flask while passing through the state on train even. The law, however Is not applicable to dining cars during meal time and these latter appurten- ances to travel are expected to do n thriving business from now on.

MARINE

Inc mystery Of the ethergrams re-
ceived by the wireless receiver at Ka-
huku will be deepened this afternoon
If the cruiser -. Louis does not ar
rive as expected.
At the Naval Station and aboard the
battleships Maine and Alabama the
reporting of the st. Louis is looked
upon as a mistake, as the vessel was
at Bremerton practically laid up when
the Maine and Alabama sailed from
San Francisco. 1t is known that the
ST. Louis is expected to arrive here
in time to leave for the Coast on the
2Sth. but it is hardly thought proba-
BILE that she would reach here in such
short time after the two vessels of
the special squadron had arrived.
Operator Isbell, who sent his report
to Manager Balch Of the Wireless Co,
yesterday logged as follows:
Tuesday night June IS.
AT o'clock heard P. @, the Mat
son :. :. HiIonian, say '314 miles off
Diamond Head, and at almost the
same time I heard X. O., the L. s 5.
st. Louis, talking considerable; then
heard P. @. again.
Finally, at S:25. after K. Q. had
called 3. e, the L. 5 $. Alabama, 1
heard the St Louis say: This is X. Q.
VIII arrive at Honolulu Friday after
noon about 4 o'clock. K. O.
The ST. Louis was sixty-eight hours
out of Honolulu, according to her
message.
AT $50 the Hilonian and the St.
Louis We're at it again.
The st. Louis was calling to the
Alabama and to the Naval Station,
L. c., and the Hilonian was calling to
the LurIine and TO Kahuku. Heard
the HiIonian again at $3.50.
AT SIS heard the Hilonian and the
Lurline exchanging business messages,
and Lahaina was talking to the Hilo-
MAN.
"Lahaina said to the Hilonian, Our
Kahuku station can hear you nearly
all the way across.
On Tuesday it was thought aboard
the Lurline in Hilo that she would be
in Honolulu on Friday and possibly the
message was from her to the Hilonian.
Since Tuesday the plans of the Lur-
line have been changed and she will
remain in Hilo sailing from there in
time to reach Honolulu Sunday MORN
ing.
Another theory advanced is that by
an error or confusion of sparks Expert
Isbell got the wrong reading. The call
of the st. Louis is K. O., while the
cali of the Lurline is NJ. 2. The collier
Alexander. which left San Francisco
on the 18th inst. should be along this
way about 4 o'clock this afternoon, and
there is just a possibility that she has
been mistaken for the st. Louis.
Since Tuesday and up 10 last evening
the Kahuku station had not got into
further communication with the st. |
Louis.
