Patterson's Primary

The biggest farce ins politics
was enacted last Saturday in Ten
nessee when Pattersons primary
was pulled off. If we are to judge
by the number of votes polled the
Governor has lost his hold, on the
people of Tennessee. In MANY
counties the polls were not open
ed. In few counties where there
was contest over members of the
legislature the people turned out
and nominated the anti Patterson
candidates by large majorities. 1t

Douglas Island news., 1910-12-14
Looking Back Twelve Years

Some of those who lived in Douglas a dozen years ago will remember Nell Atchison, then a happy-go-lucky lad or perhaps fifteen or sixteen. He letI Douglas for Whitehorse and afterwards Dawson, where he served as a mem moer of the Northwest mounted police. The following appeared in the Fairbanks Times of November 10th:
 Mrs. James E. Porter last evening re- ceived wire from Mrs. Atchison an nouncing her arrival at Tolovana en route to this city with the body of her late husband, Neil E. tCurley) Atchi- son, who died suddenly at Hot Springs soon after the arrival of the steamer Martha Glow just prior to the close Of navigation.
 Mrs. Atchison is probably a passen' ger on the stage which left Gibbon on Saturday and should reach Fairbanks tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morn ing. Tolovana is 75 miles out from Fairbanks.
 Neil Atchison was an enthusiastic member of the local aerie of Eagles, and he also belonged to the Arctic Brotherhood at Dawson before coming to this city to reside. The Eagles will have full charge of the funeral arrange ments, subject to the wishes of Mrs Atchison, and in all probability the burial will take place very soon after the arrival of the body.
 During his residence here, the de- ceased gained the friendship of all who came in contact with him because of his cheerful disposition, and his widow has the heartfelt sympathy of the en- tire community.
Douglas Island news., 1910-12-14
What Alaska Needs

In his annual report, Gov. Clark, of Alaska, makes two earnest appeals, one to executive action, the other to con- gress, to do away with evils which are arresting the development of Alaska and cruelty hampering it's citizens. He urges the release of the coal lands so that they can be entered and developed and he asks congress, as congress has been asked for many years, to amend the mining laws so as to do away with the power of attorney abuse, through which many new districts are tied up for an indefinite period as soon almost as they are discovered.
 The condition of affairs in Alaska in relation to the coal lands is intolerable. The people are face to face with fuel famines every winter; they have to pay exorbitant prices for coal imported from the outside, while coal lies at their door unmined, because it is tied up either in federal reservations or in claims which the government has been contesting for years without any final determination of the merits of the con. troversy.
 Probably congress might aid some what in determining these coal land cases by doing as Secretary Ballinger urges that it do, that is, by making pro- vision for trying the coal land cases be- fore the courts of the District of Col umb bia, which can render final and authoritative findings on the law and the facts. If the claimants are de- feated, then the lands can be entered by others who will develop them, pro- vided there is any assurance that they will be given title and will not be ham, pered and delayed in the work by years of litigation, instituted by officials whose main purpose is to nullify the acts of congress and prevent any one from opening a coal mine in Alaska.
 As to the power-of attorney abuse, no reason exists why congress should not act, save the controlling reason that congress takes little interest in Alaska matters, neglects to legislate for Alaska and refuses to permit the Alaska people to legislate for themselves.-P.-I.
Douglas Island news., 1910-12-14

Dawson, Nov. 5.-The largest gold dredging machine in any part of the world today, the Canadian, the nam moth new dredge of the Canadian Klondike company's fleet, started dig
 ging gravel and sitting the golden treasures from the deposits of ages at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Canadian has capacity of 10000 cubic yards day. Every bucket handles b cubic feet. On the line are Fl buckets, each weighing more than two tons. Each bucket is cast in one piece, an improvement over the ordinary bucket by virtue of having no central seam, from which water may leak and cause ice during cold weather. The digging ladder is 9I feet long. Massiveness is the striking feature of the boat. Huge tim bers for framing and bracing the hull and upper works, giant spuds, pro- digous gantries and other gigantic parts are in evidence to the visitor. The material used weighs 1900 tons, of which half is steel and half wood. More than 25,0OO bolts are used, and of this numb Der many are two to five feet long. The hull is 13O feet long, with width of 99 feet, and overhangs three feet on each side. It is built like battleship, having numerous huge braces through the interior and with side blanks many inches in thickness.
