DELEGATE WICKERSHAH Is GIVEN
A Regular North Pole Temperature Reception

chosen another man to repre- sent us in the matter. He said that he had not been offended as he didn't know whether he would have had anything to do with the bill anyhow. Hay ing explained the subject from his point of view only, he pro- ceeded with the Alexander Bill in relation to the Alaska fisher ies, which he characterized as an effort to gobble Alaska fish ing grounds to the detriment of the fishermen. He pointed out the defects in a ponderous tone .of voice and said that he had fought similar bills for eight years, defeated them all and he would defeat this one also.
 He blamed the transportation companies backed by the "Se- .attle Spirit for most of our troubles in Alaska. With abuses as his stock in trade, he attack led several members of the Re publican party in Alaska who he said were tI'ving to introduce boss rule in Alaska. He vented his spleen on the newspapers who opposed him, and said that one had "sold out for this cam paign for three hundred dol lars"
 He pointed out the greet amount of work he was burden ed with as Representative of AL aska in congress; that he receiv- ed hundreds of letters nearly every day, and how faithfully he had been to us all these years. But he never mentioned his sal .ary to the surprise of all.
 He finally concluded by stat ing that he was not sure wheth- CT he was 9 republican, but that he was sure of being an Alaskan thanked his audience for ther attention and left followed by mild wave of applause, such as Ia stranger in a strange land would be accorded.
 The delegate failed entirely to rouse the enthusiasm that heretofore on his visits was his. Three times he was appIaudad in his remarks, the applauds, however, lacked vigor.
 The Delegate accompanied by his campaign manager, Mr. Rustgard, left last evening on the gas boat Launch Harry for Frangell.

Enthusiasm of Former Years In Audience Was Altogether | a c king. Abuses of Opponents His Stock In Trade.

As announced last Saturday Delegate Wickersham arrived on the steamer Watson Friday evening and was received by a few followers, including his campaign manager, John Rust gard, of Juneau, who had come down for the purpose. He was taken to the Revilla Hotel, and Saturday visited about town meeting friends. His local man. ager, Mir. Bob Oliver, later wrote an announcement stating that the Ladies' Eagle Club Commit tee had generously agreed to de- lay the commencement of their dance that the Delegate might have the use of the hall while he delivered his address. This was erronous as the dance was ad- vertised to take place at the Skating Rink Hall, therefore, was misleading. Be that as it may, some two hundred, among whom were some ten or fifteen women, assembled at the Red Mems Hall. On the stage with the Delegate were Messrs. liar ris, Hunt and Plumley. Mr. Hunt addressed the audience as a pre- liminary to the principal ad- dress, and in well chosen words complimented the Delegate for his many good points and his hard fight for Alaska.
 The Delegate followed and was generously greeted; al though there seems to be an at- mosphere that plainly said, We know that you are going to abuse some ones." The old time enthusiasm was absent. The Delegate proceeded to com pliment the citizens of Ketchi- kan for their apparent general prosperity. From that he pro- ceeded to explain his position in reference to the haIibut bill that was recently defeated in congress, and over which fric- tions may be said to have arisen. He explained his reason for hav- ing kept out of the fight by the statement that when Ketchi- kan's representative went to
 Washington last December to urge the passage of the bill, he told the Delegate that he had

handful of dates and went up on a
high cliff to eat them and die. AS he

"Ho! said he. why do you catch
my date stones?"
Because, o brother" answered a
weak voice, II have not eaten these
three days. and Allah has sent these
stones to save my life"
Praise be to Allah" answered the
first man. "for he has saved me also.
