SEATTLE, May 19.-Since the nom inatiOn of Walter E. Clark for the goVernorShip of Alaska many opinions concerning nis eligibility have been Vouchsafed by AlaskanS. and promi- nent residents of this city, with the result that there is wide variance
 Some believe that he will be the. means of cementing the different fac tions in Alaska, which for years have pulled against each other in every way imaginable, much to the hindrance of necessary legislation for the district Men holding this opinion regarding Clark, are working hard for him, while others are protesting vigorously against his appointment.
 Letters to Secretary Balinger and President Taft as well as to the lead CTS of the senate both endorse and de- nouncc Clark. It is the belief here that aS Clark has the backing of the administration and practically every Western senator. he will be confirmed by the senate without much hesitancl.

ICE LEAVES
 SHORE

4 strong wind blowing off shore this morning broke the pack ice loose from it's anchorage and took it out to sea much to the delight of the chechacoes vbo now insist that they are sour doughs.
 A narrow strip of ice is left along the shore. but as soon as the tide comes in this is expected to float away leaving the beach free. Accord ing to reliable information the ice left the shore here last year on the same date. the 90th.
 Early this afternoon the narrow strip of ice left on the shore was broken loose and now it is practically all out old residents of this section of Alaska say that they believe Rerine Sea has less ice than last year, and that the steamer CorWm now en route to Nome will have little trouble in reaching here un record time.

June 4, something that has never been
accomplished at former expositions
The Pay Streak in which all of the
contestants are particularly interested
is being rapidly put in shape. Every
winner of trip will be admitted free
to all of the attractions there.
Many subscriptions are coming in
every day and several of the contest
ants are already sure of the trip to
Seattle, but they are one and all go
ing right ahead for the beautiful trip
to Alaska. AS the summer draws
near. the attractiveness of the Alas
kan trip appeals more and more. A two
weeks cruise along the western coast
of the American continent Is an op-
portunity of life time, and the young
ladies seem to all recognize it. At least
they are not going to miss it if good
hard work will win.

GREENS'S ADDITION
WANTS TO COME IN
Two Hundred and Twenty Two Voters
Sign Petition Asking for Annex
alton to the City of
Walla Walla.

There was evidently a miscalcula-
ton somewhere in the procedure of
securing signatures to the petition file
with the city council last night, ask
ing the annexation of Green's addition
to the city of Walla Walla, and the
calling for a special election for the
purpose, for although the communica-
ton bore the names of 222 qualified
electors, it will be necessary to secure
Just 157 additional
The petition was drawn up and cir
culated in accordance with the charter
provision that requires one-fifth of
the qualified electors to attach their
! signatures. AS there were 1893 voters
at the last city election, it will be
necessary for the originators of the
annexation movement to secure 157
additional names in order to comply
with the charter provision requiring
the signatures of one-fifth of the quail
flied electors.
The judiciary committee was given
charge of the communication, but it is
probable that it will be referred to the
leaders of the movement for the sig
natures necessary to make the calling
of a special election legal.
Following is the petition filed with
the council last night:
1--WE, the undersigned resident and
qualified electors of and within the
city of Walla Walla, respectfully pc
tition your honorable body to annex
to said city of Walla Walla the fol-
lowing described tract of land, being
Green's addition to the city of Walla
Walla, and more particularly describ-
ed as follows.
