BUNNELL MEETING
 WITH SUCCESS
(Cordova Times.)

Word from up the line indicates that the campaign of Charles E. Bun nell. the Democratic nominee for Del. egate to Congress is meeting with an unexpected measure of success. At Chitina, Mccarthy and Kennecott his talks on the issues of the campaign were we'll received and have been the means of bringing to his support a large number of the voters of that section. This success is but a con. tinaution of the favorable impression which has followed his trip through Southeastern Alaska and at Valdez and Seward, and from day to day the chances of his election next November grow brighter and brighter. A young man, hard worker of exceptional mental attainments, Mir. Bunnel is eminently fitted to lead the Democrat ic party to victory. Independent of all control except the principles of the party. bound by the platform on which he stands and to which he has pledged his firm adherence, to use his every endeavor to promote the welfare of the territory, thoroughly in accord with the administration which has pledged itself to develop the North and by acts, not words, has al- ready made wonderful progress in that direction, Mir. Bunnell is justi- fled in asking the men and women of this country for their support, and he will receive it.

FISH LEGISLATION
 HAS RIGHT-0F-W

q shall give the fisheries bill which
 I have introduced my first attention
 when l return to Washington" said Delegate James wickersham last ev' euing, because deem 1t is the most
 important measure for Alaska just now"
 The bill. he said, was for the pro tectlon of the fish resources of the Territory and provided regulations governing the industry, but did not, he said. provide for the establishment of government salmon hatcheries. He said that the government hatcheries were handled through the bureau of fisheries and 1t was not necessary to provide for them in the bill.
 Delegate Wickersham says that there are two bills pending for the creation of the Alaska Development: board, one of which was prepared by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane and introduced by Senator Cham berlain. of Oregon, and the other pre- pared and introduced by himself, His own bill he said was prepared very carefully and that he had gone consid- erably into the subject working out great deal of the necessary detail on the measure in order that 1t should be practical working law. Both bills he said had the approval of Sec retary Lane but said the Delegate, q don't think Chairman Houston, of the House Committee of Territories wants the bill to pass at this time"
 Secretary Lane. the Delegate says, has approved his bill invalidating the mining law passed at the first session of the Territorial Legislature and that the bill had been favorably reported from the committee. but now that the next session of the Legislature was so near, that he would not push the matter for the reason that the Legisla- ture can correct all that is wrong with the law.
 Speaking of things nearer home, Delegate wickersham said that he had introduced a bill appropriatlng an ad- ditional S45O.OOO for the Capitol build ing at Juneau. which, added to the former appropriation, would amount to $65O,OOO. but that there would be nc chance of getting this bill passed new, because there would be no pub lie building bills passed before the De- cember session, when such bills would all be passed at the same time.
 The Gastineau channel bridge will be built by the government, Delegate says, if anybody wants It built. It will be an easy matter to get an appropriation for the building of the bridge if the people ask for 1t, he said. "I introduced a bill provid- Ing for the sale of tide lands here in Juneau, the funds accruing from such sale to be devoted to the building of he bridge, but I discovered that there was a decided opposition to this meas lre and did not urge action on it."
 The Judge will speak at Treadwell this evening and leave for Sitka on dress the people here Monday night. A large part of yesterday was spent on Douglas Island, and he will speak at Douglas Saturday night.
