The Chitina leader. [volume] (Chitina, Alaska) 1910-1928, 1912-07-23

There was a time when the Wicker
sham forces in Valdez embraced a
large number of respectable and in
fluential men of the community. How
different it is today! With few ex-
ceptions, the men who have to do
with shaping the destinies of the
camp have returned to their old al
legiances, leaving but a motley crew
of renegades to steer the Wickersham
hulk. It is almost pitiable to note
that not one of those left in charge
of Wickersham's campaign have yet
learned to write their mother tongue
legibly or correctly.-Valdez Pros

Many letters have been sent to the
postoffice department, but thus far
no encouragement has been given the
miners of the remote region, and it
is considered doubtful If more than
the customary single delivery will be
made during thr present summer

Gently sent to Delegate Wickersham
by former Cordova supporters:
Honorable James Wickersham,

Dear Sir and Friend:
The undersigned, who have always
supported you in your elections de-

and heard Mr.. Gilmore speak, and
are favorably impressed by him as
being true, earnest, fearless and
honest Alaskan. We believe that he
Is not tied to any faction or corpora
tions and we do not like to see you
come into the race to split the votes.
Gilmore has been one of us and has
been your friend as you know, and
we believe if you had not written let

candidate Gilmore would never have
been a candidate. We ought to be
glad to have a good, clean man like
Gilmore, who has lived for twelve
years in Alaska and has an Alaskan
family. We do not want to see you
in the field against him. Gilmore is
loyalty supporting your home rule

We ought to all join hands in Alas

us.
Yours respectfully.

MODERN HOTEL ON

c. X. Shand, the architect, is Ell
gagged in drawing plans for the re-
modelling of the residence located on
the corner of Lake boulevard and
Walnut street north, which property
was formerly owned by M. l. Fay,
and who while a resident of Virginia
resided there for a number of years.
F. J. Hughes recently purchased the
property and will have the same rc-
modelled into a modern hotel build
ing. 1t is the intention of the rree-
ent owner of the property to enlarge
the building into dimensions suffi-
cient to contain about fifty sieep:ng
rooms, besides other rooms neces-
sary for use in building OF this
kind. The building will be a:raag-
ed So as to provide for a system of
hot water heating, with each room
hot and cold water. Pri-
vate and public bath rooms will also
be provided for In the remodeling.
In fact the building will be SO re-
modelled as to be modern in every
particular. The purpose of the
structure is for the accommodation
of the teachers in our public
schools, who in the past have had
difficulty in securing
quarters suitable to their taste and
environment: The location Is q
most desirable one and the new
when completed will no
doubt be most literally patronized.

it is fully expected to have the work
complete by the time stated, unless
weather conditions should be such as
to prevent work. Heavy spring rains
interfered to considerable extent

EDITORS NOT COMING

The annual outing Of the Mime
sofa Editorial Association, scheduled
to tour the ranges and enjoy lake
trip to Isle Royal, will not "tour"
this year, the executive committee
having but thirty responses to- their
invitation to the scribes9 to enjoy; the
trip. Cir. :: ,@r-s 80
As consequence Virginia and 9th
er range cities will loseNout On a
great amount of free advertising
which would have accrued from the
elaborate reception beiae planned for
the scribes BY the ltEhinsrrciai Club,
and the state, edit6rs Win miss view
of the biggest little city in the state
of Minnesota.
The failure of the editors to re-
spond to the calls for the annual out
ing is assigned to the fact that since
the Elkins law became operative they
must pay their railroad fare just like
common folks, and it is not every
editor who can graft enough to
spend gold dollars like water, even
though they realize they are getting
pleasure and mental profit from the
expenditure.
OF course, In the case of the Vir-
ginia scribes the mere matter of ex-
pense would cut no figure, for Vir-
ginia scribes have been blessed with
more misfortune and more good for
tune than the editors of any other
city in the state. If you don't be-
lieve, ask US.
