The affair is quite an innovation In

comment yesterday, when 1t was
placed in position for the first time.
A little boy who happened to pass
while a reporter for The Virginian

Born in the province of Os- tergotland, Sweden, in 1868, he went to sea at the age of 16 and while following that occupation visited many parts of the earth, finally landing on the Parific coast In 1890. Thence he came north, first setting foot on Alas kan soil at Nusagak in 1894. For four years he engaged in fishing along the coast and prospecting in the Lake region west of Cooks Inlet, then joining in the memo rable rush to the Klondyke went into Dawson over the Cbilcoot Pass.

Our Candidates. The Kind Of Men The Socialists Ask
 Alaskans To Vote F or.

When people are called upon to support candidate for public office 1t is but right that they should know something about him, So they may the better be able to form soms idea as to his character and capabilities. For thatsreason we give below a short sketch of the Socialist candidates. eneough to afford an insight into what manner of men they are.
 What is given shows them to be men of experience in the world, men of energy and self reliance, the hardy type of the frontier who had the courage to break away from the beaten paths, and strike out boldly and make their own place in the world. They are all workingclass men, who understand the Social ist philosophy; intelligent ard a. live to the needs and interests of the people who work, as we'll as to the needs and interests of A. laska in general.

Joined the rush to Dawson, driving a herd of cattle in over the old Dal ton trail. He mined and prospect ed around Dawson with varying success till 1900 and then stam. peded to Nome where he engag- ed in the same uncertain occupa-
