Francis Vernon Howendobler, who has been widely advertised for in Alaska papers, walked into the Red Cross drug store this week and was immediately recognized by Mrs. King, who had known him slightly when he was here q year ago. She showed him the advertisement in the Prospec- tor telling of his father's death in Missouri, leaving him large fortune. He said he would write home md has not been in the store since.

THE GROWING WIRELESS

The receiving of q commercial mes- sage by steamer Bertha while lying at Valdez dock, from the Portland, while the latter ship was near Cor doYa, the exchange of messages by the two ships while in Prince William sound, one going west, the other south, brings home to Valdez with great force the tremendous possibili- ties of wireless communication in Alaska.
 All sound ports could easily install and equip stations with Valdez as Central" Knowledge of approach ing steamers timed to the minute; great saving of perilous and danger ous trips over rough water in ill fitted crafts, the establishing of electric plants supplied with abundant power from innumerablc water falls, and above all almost absolute safety, and security against accident in nayiga- tiOn.
 Communication could be had from Valdez westward to Latouche, Sew ard, Kodiak, Chignak, Scotch Cape Light to Unalaska; the northward from Unalaska to Japanese poachers paradise and N. A. c. Co.'S gold mine, to St. Mathew and St. Lawrence is- lands to Nome.
 Or put a line of stations at regular intervals say of 400 miles on an air line Valdez to home. The aid in de veloping the known and unknown resources of the country thus placed in touch with Valdez would be enormous.
 Communication with the South is an assured fact. Establish either of the above routes and Jules Verne would be out classed in minute by solid substantial facts based, how ever, on etheral phosphoresence.
 A few aerograms flying around might possibly stimulate trade, build monorail railroads, develop mines, elect city councilmen and grow cleo. tric light plants. Stranger things have happened.

New City Council Simeon Poot Fred Brown A. F.. Grigsby Anton Carlson Ed. Wood w. M. Ethical H. T. Whitley

A complication of issues in the city election Tuesday in which the de- mand of the Square Deal" platform for lower electric light rates seems to have been the determining factor resulted in the defeat of Mayor T. G. Quinn and Councilman Arthur Lang by close vote. They were pitted directly against Councilmen H. T. Whitley and w. M. Ethical. The other two candidates who had a fight on their hands were Ed Wood on the Peoples ticket and Charles Crawford on the Square Deal ticket. Crawford lost to Whitley on the same ticket by 1 vote and ran ahead of Quinn and 10 ahead of Lang. Wood had a safe margin.
 All the saloons in town except the Senate backed the Peoples ticket although there was no saloon issue in the election. It was simply a mat ter of personal preference among the candidates with all of them. It was believed all day that the Peoples'

GALE MAY RUN AGAIN

So Thomas Gale Is willing to run for delegate again, which does not surprise anybody who knows the A B of politics. Especially is the fasci nation of Washington life irresistible after man has once been even in the edge of the swim. A $1 200 de- partment clerk wouldn't give up his job for an $l, 800 place at legitimate work elsewhere. Some humorist once remarked that democratic office holder seldom dies and never resigns, and that Is equally true of republican and populist officcholders.
 Mir. Gale is man of more than ordinary ability and has probably made as much headway against al- most immovablc obstacles at the cap ital as any man could have made. He has strong following in Alaska, and also some vigorous enemies to strew banana peels in his path to re-elcc- tion. It will be q busy fight if he runs again.

ALASKA DOG SAVES
 HOUSE FROM FIRE

Stamford, Conn.,, April 4-Curly is only "husky" and until recently he trod the frozen Northwest helping drag pack sleds. He came to Col. John l. Holly, Q Stamford business man, from Alaska, and strong bond of friendship was established between the dog and his master, Now that bond is more firmly rivited and money cannot purchase Curly.
 The Holly house is a landmark and was built when the town was first set tied. Early yesterday Curly, snooz- ing in the study, smelled smoke. He trotted up to Col. Holly's room, scratched on the door and whined. MT. Holly was awakened and com- manded Curly to "charge." Then the dog ran down stairs to the room of George Damn, an employee, and parked and scratched on the door un- til Damn got up.
 Barking joyously, Curly ran back to Col. Holly's room and did more whin- ing and scratching. This time his master got up, intending to teach the dog some manners. He found the up- per part of the house full of smoke and the attic in flames,
 The timely warning Curly gave en- abled Col. Holly to send in an alarm and the house was saved from com- plete destruction. Curly will live in luxury and ease the rest of his life.

 Goat hunting has been favorite sport, as goats have been plentiful. Paul Blackhead killed one with pros- pector's pick in gulch near Malas- pima glacier, and captured another alive. Both animals were tired out by reason of the deep snow.

Many Prospectors Coming

The influx of miners and prospec- tors to the Alaskan country has al- ready begun, and the indictions are that upwards of 10000 men will go to the northern gold camps this season. As is customary in early spring, there are reports of number of important strikes in various sections of the in- terior, particularly along the Stewart, Tanana, Kayakuk and Susitna rivers. Indications are, too, that there will be unusal activity in copper mining on Seward peninsula, as well as in the southeastern district. It is reported that the management of the Mt. An drew mine in the Ketchikan district is to make arrangements for the ship ment of copper ore to the works of the Britannia M. & s. Co.,, and that productive operations will begin shortly.

BUSY WITH WIRELESS

Wireless communication Is making such progress in Alaska that the sys- tenn picks up telegraph messages and circulates their contents around town as quickly as the cable office can do it. Yesterday the facts contained in a private message from the judge of the Third judicial division were known all over town two hours before the recipient or any other person moved out of the house in which he received it.
 Two messages to the Prospector were also peddled all over town. One of these told of the loss of big min- ing outfit in the interior. The other told of the result of the Gotch-Hack- enschmidt wrestling match and its substance was written on the black board of the Seattle hotel labeled a "macaroni message" but it gave the facts which could scarcely have come to Valdez except by telegraph or wireless system of some sort.
 Far be it from the Prospector to harbor the suspicion that any tele- graph operator 'leaked," although such things have happened before. It must be that these messages were spread abroad on the wings of the wind by marconigram or telepathy. No operator would violate the injunc- tion of secrecy imposed upon him by | the rules of the signal service and by the following section of the Alaska code, to-wit:
 Sec. 166. That if any officer, agent, operator, clerk or employe of any telegraph company, or any other per son, shall wilfully divulge to any other person than the party from whom the same was received, or to whom the same was addressed, or his agent or attorney, any message re- celVed or sent, over any telegraph line, or the contents, substance, pur- port, effect or meaning of such mes- sage, or any part thereof *% the person so offending shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and shall be punished by fine not to exceed one thousand dollars or imprisonment not to exceed one year, or by both such fine or mprisonment, in the discretion of the court.

NO PROVISION FOR POOR.

This ideal paternal government in Alaska makes no provision for the care of the indigent sick, and none for the burial of pauper dead. Men in Alaska as elsewhere, through mis- fortune or improvidence become ill or crippled or cease to live, without a dollar to provide for themselves or upon the nearest charitable persons.
 Congress has never had time to amend the lame Alaska code so as to make provision for the poor because it has been too busy passing laws to exempt the salmon packers from tax atOn. Congress and the executive arm of the government are spending good deal of money trying to main- tain bastard republic in Cuba and helping Pierpont Morgan build rail road in the Philippines and they have to retrench somewhere.
 It Is clear of course that men have no right to go broke in Alaska and that it is largely the incapable, improv- dllti lIidb Colilllil tildt offense, but what are you going to do about it? Admitting that helpless sick man or pauper's corpse de- serves no sympathy, are not the liv- ing entitled to some consideration? Such men will get sick in hotels and lodginghouses or while warming chairs in n saloon. Is the proprietor to throw them into the street like old shoes? Or if a man dies is the corpse to be pitched into the street?
 A heavy burden is imposed on the doctors and hospitals by this barbar- Ous system of government, or more properly speaking misgovernmont, in Alaska. A doctor cannot re fuse to attend a sick man and he often finds a corpse on his hands which he must bury because nobody will take it off his hands.
 A philosopher like Mr. Dooley and two or three Chinamen could in q week frame better system of laws for Alaska than the federal govern ment has devised in tWcnty-four years of casual Legislation.

ticket could not be defeated because of the strong forces lined up behind it and the personal popularity of every man on it. The result seems chargeable mainly to the more or less prevalent desire for @ reduction in light rates. Whether reasonable or not the platform insisting upon this controlled many votes and turned the scale.
 Three candidates were on at least three of the four tickets and slid through without greasing. The other winners were on at least two tickets. The candidates running on the Tax payers ticket alone, did not poll a large vote but that tickets vote pull ed Whitley through.
 The total vote was 336 and the workers were busy all day. Follow ing is the vote for all candidates.

with trumpet and drum, led by Louis
