Douglas Island news., 1911-08-30

A Fairbanks writer suggests the uame of Falcon Joslyn for the democratic nomination as delegate to congress. Joslyn has two claims to the office; one being that he was one of the principal causes of the breaking of the Knicker- booker Trust Company, of New York; in building the Panama railroad, and the other is that he never keeps his mouth shut With those recommends tions we submit his name to the demo- cratic voters of this section.-Valdez Daily Miner.
 Supt. w. l.. Goodwin, Of the Alaska road commission, reports that the work of building trail from Seward to the Iditarod is going ahead and that by the time snow flies all will be ready for.the winter travel. This road will be big help not only to those making the trip to the Iditarod and the big mining camps of the interior, but will give the miners of tbe Cache creek and Susitns countries all opportunity to get in aud out of the country and enable them tC transport their supplies to the mines
 Robert Jennings has decided to be candidate for the democratic nomine- ton for delegate to congress. The con- vention will likely be held in Valdez next March. Mr. Jennings has the al- most united support of the democrats of Southeastern Alaska and with wide acquaintance in Fairbanks expects con siderable support from the ranana val. ley He is recognized as one of the ablest attorneys in the territory, and refused the nomination two years age on account of ill health-Fairbanks Dispatch.
 Speaking of the skill of local sur geon, the Whitehorse Star says: Dr. Clark is making great success in grating about twenty square inches ot human skin on Carl Faulk's injured leg. having fully two-thirds of the spacs covered, all of the nearly 100 gratis having lived Carls numerous friends are supplying the skin to such an ex- tent that, so far as the personality" of the leg is concerned, it will be cosmo- politau by the time it is ready for uses which will be soon, as the grating and healing processes are progressing most satisfactorily.
 During the past month at least 6 dozen mining men have been in town for the purpose of looking over proper ties in this locality, but as far as this paper has heard, none of them have closed deal. The reason, according to the visiting experts, is that the pros pector, in practically every instance has demanded too much cash down at the time of making out the bond. O course, after man has put practically all his life looking for paying prop: erty, and at last finds what he considers as such he is bound to put a rather high valuation on it, thereby in many in~ stances defeating his own ends. This is regrettable, as it not only prevents the sale of that particular property, but has bad effect on every other property within the same district. Naturally we want all we can get for anything we can sell, but it were better to get even a little for property and realize on t than to wear oneself out doing assess ment work while waiting for somebody to come along and assume all thagislss -Ketchikan Miner,
