Anchorage Mayor
 Shanghaied by Ice
J. A. Moore Went to Visit Farragut and Was Carried to
 Seward.

J. A. Moore, of the United States Land Office and manager for the gov ernment of the city of Anchorage, otherwise mayor, is now in Seward having been "shanghaied" on the Far ragut by the ice conditions in Cook Inlet Mir. Moore went aboard the Farragut at Anchorage to see some friends and was unable to return to shore. When the Farragut pulled out with the scows to load them she was unable to go back through the ice and the result is that Anchorage is with out it's mayor and Seward has the pleasure of his genial presence for the present. MT. Moore will go back overland. He speaks highly of his city and seems, indeed, to be very proud of her. Messrs. Christensen and Mir. Parks, also of the land de- partment, say that they are voluntary travellers hitherward. Mayor Moore takes the joke on himself in the best spirit.

and the delegate made telling speech. It has been remarked that perfect uuanimity seems to exist on all hands with respect to the govern meut railroad and the choice of route and all the speakers tried to impress on the public mind the desirability of standing behind Secretary Lane in his efforts to secure a large appropriation at the coming session.
 (Note: No mention of speech by NIr. Edes is made in the dispatch, it will be noticed, and it is likely that the chairman maintained that same old reticenee.)
