THE OPPOSITION TO GOVERNOR STRONG

The Juneau Empire, in recent issue says: lt is absolutely silly to say thst the opposition to the reappointment of Governor Strong is inspired by politicians, or that it involves the personal ambitions of people for party control here. It comes from the people of Alaska. The Democratic organization did not create the demand It responded to it.''
 The Empire is over cautious. It knows that the opposition to the reappointment of Governor Strong is inspired by politicians and to still this small voice within, it over- flows at the mouth. And, too there it noth- ing painer than that the opposition to the reappontment of the governor, does involve the personal ambitions of certain people for party control"
 The people of Alaska understand the sit uation fully. That is exactly why Governor Strong is opposed for re-appointment and eryone in Alaska knows it. The Empire knows that they know it but its explanation as to why Governor Strong is opposed is for peo- pie at Washington, not for Alaskans to read.
 The people of Alaska also know what is behind the Empire in this opposition to the re-appointment of the governor but the ob- ject at this time is to blind the President as to the true wishes of the people of the Territory.
 Will the Empire please advise its read CTS as to the class of people that are oppos- ing Governor Strongs reappontment? We have heard of none other than MT. Shackle- ford and Democrats who operate politically with him in Alaska. The Empire claims that the Democratic newspapers" opposed to the Governor, but this signifies but little as they may have the same grievances that the Empire has, One of these Democratic news papers" has been Republican in three cam paigns in Alaska and Democratic" in three campaigns. Two of them edited by men who in the past have been rabd Republi- 
 In these times of war and other tribu- latons the President should and no doubt will, pay very little attention to partyism in the making of the appointment Governor Strong undoubtedly has the support of seven eights of the Democrats of the Territory in his candidacy for reappointment. The wish Of the people at this time should rule. One thing is quite sure: If Governor Strong is not appointed governor. Alaska will have either him or a good Republican for her next Delegate to Congress for there is no Demo crat in Alaska who carry the people of this Territory without Governor Strong's SUD- pOrt.-(Anchorage Times)

Improvements at Oregon City
viii Reduce Both Light
and Power

The United States government since
purchasing the Willamette river locks
at Oregon City has been making ex-
tensive improvements in the same by
widening and deepening the channel
and building new retaining walls and
bulkheads. They are shout TO build the
part Of the new wall that will come in
front of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company power house which is
located opposite the locks at Oregon
City, and in order that the new wall
may be constructed it will be necessary
TO shut off all of the water from the
power plant for three or four days, un-
til the company can build a wing dam
or bulkhead to divert the water in such
a way that it will not interfere with the
government s construction of the re-
tanning wall of the lock or canal As
soon as this temporary wing dam has
been built by the company, the water
can then be turned into the power
house again, the plant put in operation
and normal service resumed.
The company requested the govern
ment to put off this work until the new
power line from the eompany's river
mill power plant on the Clackamas
river could be built into Salem, and as
the company expected, that it would be
possible to complete it by April Is, that
date was set for shutting down the Ore
gon City plant to do the above men
toned work, but unfortunately, due to
the difficulty in getting some of the in
sulators required for the new power
line, the line cannot be completed by
the date set of April 10, and therefore
cannot be used in this emergency when
it is most needed.
| The tremendous demand for all kinds
of electrical material by the nations at
war, makes ii almost impossible for
| private corporations to secure such ma
terial as they even absolutely need, at
times, and that is the case in this in.
stance.
The Portland Railway, Light & Power
company will cndeavor to maintain the
best service possible by supplying serv.
ice from its steam plants in Portland
and Salem, but for technical reasons it
is anticipated that the service may not
be up to the usual standard and that
the lights may be dim for the three OIL
four days mentioned above, and it may
even be necessary to operate the street
ears during that time ON slower sched
ule, because of lack of power.
Mr. w. NJ. Hamilton, manager of the
Willamette valley division of the com
pany, expresses the hope that the com
pany's customers and the patrons of thu
street car lines viii be patient and beai
with them in this. unfortunate predica
ment, and that the public will also ap
Ipreciate that this condition is due t.
causes beyond their control.
The government engineers in charg
of the work at the locks feel that thi
work cannot be delayed any longer an
that it must be started on the date o
April Is as aboYe mentioned
