George D. schofield, the Republican candidate for attorney general of Alas ka. held an enthusiastic meeting here Saturday night, and notwithstanding severe wind and rain storm, there was good attendance present.
 In a strong campaign speech, Judge Schofield completely refuted Grigsby's argument, conclusively proving him self an Alaskan sOurdough, holding many interests in the Nome division, and still practicing law and mining there, where he has resided for the past sixteen years. He exploded GriGSby's canard campaign story by showing that his only absence from the territory during this continuous residence was while engaged in the practice of his profession in the trial of purely Alaskan cases at San Fran. cisco and Seattle These cases were tried during the past two winters; he also showed that the temporary ab- sence of his children from the terri tory was necessary while completing their education at Washington Univer- sity, and expressed the hope that this territory would soon have a university of it's own for the education Of Alas kan children after they had graduated from the local high schools. He made it clear that he owned no property of any description outside of this terri tory, and that all of his interests lie

natural resources as this territory He wound up an eloquent peroration asserting that Alaska's sun of des. tiny was but peeping above the hori- zon, and that no man of this day was optimistic enough to foretell her mag, nificont commercial future
 Referring to his candidacy, he stated that he had been actively engaged in the practice of law for over thirty years, and during that time had been assistant corporation counsel Of Ne braska City, Nebraska. prosecuting at torney of Chehalis county, Washing ton; state senator of the Sixteenth di vision of Washington. municipal attor ney of Nome for three consecutive years, and United States commission CT at Nome for four years; that he had travelled Alaska's coast line from Ket chikan to Point Barrow, the great stretches of the Yukon and Panama valley and across the divide to Cor dova; that he knew Alaska. her peo pie. her conditions and her needs, and believed by education and experience and broad knowledge of Alaska that he was peculiarly fitted for the posi- ton he sought
 His address was strong campaign speech on purely Alaskan matters. and showed broad insight and knowledge of Alaska, her people, her conditions and her needs.

CHIEF OF NATIVE SCHOOLS
 IS VISITING CORDOVk.

w. T. Lopp chief of the Alaska di- vision of .he department of education, is spending a few days in Cordova.
 MT. Lopp came to .laska in 1890 and located on Boring Strait as a mission ary teacher. Later he vas made chief of the Alaska division. While iu the Boring sea he learned the language of the Eskimos and studied the customs of the aboriginies. He is authority for the statement that the Tatitlek natives were not Indians, but were Eskimos. Only two days ago he talked for a considerable time with one of the citizens of that place and found no less than POO words identi- cal with those Of the Eskimos of the far north At the southern end of Iliamna lake the natives are Indians and speak an entirely different Ian. guage. Farther to the westward the Aleuts, another race Of aboriginies, dwell. The Eskimos of the north country are afraid of the Indians and lock their doors when they suspect them of being in their vicinity, while the Indians show the same deference to the igloo dwellers.

charges that he was not an Alaskan and referring briefly to the public records of his opponents, Judge Scho- field discussed the duties and respon- abilities of the office of attorney gen eral in an able manner. showing it's importance in protecting the present and future interests of the people, and the relation the office bore to terri torial officers and the legislature. He referred to the necessity of able cOun- sel for the territory in the protection of the vast natural resources of Alas ka, mentioning water power sites, school lands, tide lands, kelp beds. coal lands, and kindred subjects wherein title was vested in the fed eral government in trust for the fu- ture state of Alaska, and suggested steps necessary for the reasonable conservation and protection of these great interests, but the immediate right of user by the people under req sonable regulations.
 MT Schofield referred to Cordova as the Copper Queen" Of the Northland. and predicted an immense conner cial future for this city. He strongly advocated the necessity Of an active Chamber of Commerce. and the ad- visibility of every business man be, coming an active members. He de- clared that the sun did not shine upon an area possessed Of such wonderful

MINERS HAVE CANDIDATE
 FOR THE LEGISLATURE.

Joseph H. Murray, of the Nizina country. who is a nominee for the ter ritorial assembly on the Republican ticket, and also has the endorsement of the Wickersham independents. was in town this morning en route to An chorage.
 Murray considers that has chances for election are very good. He has been in the mountains for two years and the miners in that section put up campaign fund for him to make the tour.
 They figured out that as the legis- lature had money to spend this time 1t was up to the prospectors to have representative on the job" said Murray. "I figure there will be tYo big propositions at Juneau this year. the first. to prevent waste of money on hand, and the second, to make sure that the source of funds is not tam pered with There will probably be & his lnhhy on hand to force change in the taxation statute, which seems to work very we'll as 1t Is now" - Seward Post

COAL |S BEING HAULED GOVT,
 RAILROAD

The Alaska engineering commission is operating a daily train between Anchorage and Moose creek on the Matanuska branch, and three carloads of coal are being brought to Anchor age daily. This coal is for use of the commission, and also for the sup ply of the people at Anchorage. Ma terial and supplies for the construc. ton Of the railroad are being hauled on this train, ss we'll as freight and passengers. to points along the line. The commercial freight and passen- ger traffic is paying for the operation of the train, which enables the gov ernment to transport it's construction materials free of charge from Anchor age to its camps on the railroad. The population of Anchorage, which is the main construction base on the railroad. is between 4,000 and 5000 At Matanuska, the junction of the Matanuska branch with the main line, a townsite was recently surveyed by the government and a town is now in course of development There is also a small town at Moose creek, about fifty miles from Anchorage, where the first mine on the railroad Is in oper- ation. At Wassilla, the name of the town where the railroad crosses the Knik Willow creek wagon road. sev- eral people are gathering. Wassilla will be the distributing point for freight and supplies for the Willow creek mining district. The govern ment is taking immediate steps to sur vey small townsites at these places.
 The railroad north and south from Anchorage passes through and de- yelops a large agricultural country There are now between 500 and l LOGO hOmesteaders along the line Of the railroad in this section, and the agri- cultural land is being rapidly develop ed. The homesteaders are supplying considerable portion of the food stuffs for the railroad employees and other people in that section Of the country Recently the Alaskan engi- neering commission contracted for 400 tons, or over 13. .O0O bushels, of po- tatOes, with the Matanuska farmers Products are being hauled by the far mers to Matanuska and shipped over the railroad to Anchorage and other points along the line. There is still room for large number of homestead CTS in the vicinity of the railroad. and the government hopes to encourage farmers from the states to come to Alaska and take up homesteads in the territory tributary to the railroad in order to develop the agricultural lands so that the country may some day in the near future be self sup porting.
 The building of the railroad has also given an impetus to the mining In, dustry, and there is good prospect for considerable traffic for the railroad when 1t is finally completed.
