 Since Delegate Wickersham wa. Sirat elected to represent Alaska in congress in 1908. he and his wife fvte spent but very little time in Fairbanks, their residence here be- ing interspersed with long periods of absence on account of the dele gates official position at Washington. should they come North this year and remain as they expect to do. their visit here then will be the longest one since the above mention cd date.

 War Will be Good
