Wickersham Anybody who says that Is Ladies' Delegate Wickersham is Man not a ladies' man dosen't
 know what he is talking about. In the first place, it will be remembered that it was due to the ladies that the entertainment a week ago Saturday was promoted, when Judge Wickersham was the chief guest of honor. In the second place, the delegate entertained last Monday night number of the ladies who took part on the reception in his honor.
 So there you have it. The popu- larity of the congressional delegate has beeen proved beyond any further question, and who can say that it was not due to the votes of the ladies that MT. Wickersham was reelected by such a big majority.-Fairbank Citizen.
 And if any further proof is needed to establish the above fact we might add that while in Cordova Judge Wicker sham was a guest the Cupid Club at one of it's enjoyable dances.

Abuse Was that telegraphic story All For Chairman Edes to den, Naught It was rather unkna .n
 about his favoring the plan of the government purchasing the Copper River & Northwestern railroad after the Valdez paper had given the news such publicity-at the same time getting in its little knock against Cor. dova and the Guggenheims. After charging the Alaska Syndicate with trying for several years to unload the road on the government" because it "has never paid and the outlook for a dividend is poor yet" the Pros pector finds consolation in this clos ing paragraph: "It Is almost certain tha. the fight in congress against the purchase of the Morgan-Guggenheim road will be enough to prevent the passage of the appropriation at the next session as the Democratic majori- ty lis small and the Republicans have announced it their intention to block appropriations for public improve ments while a direct tax is put on the people" And the next day there was joy in the Glacier City when Chair man Edes wired that he had never given out any information whatever in reference to routes or the purchase of existing roads.
