 BY DELEGATE

Delegate CnarleS A. S4lZcr was Il passenger for Southeastern Alaska on the steamship Northwestern, which sailed last night MT. Sulzer will go direct to Ketchikan instead | of stopping of at Juneau. as he had intended. and for the balance of the campaign will do little in the way of electionecring.
 Mir. Sulzer has been greatly af- fected by the Princess Sophia disas- ter. in which many of his personal friends lost their lives and he feels their loss too keenly to participate in the usual activities incident to the close of d campaign. J. F. Pugh of Juneau, collector of customs of that port who lost his life in the wreck was a close friend of MT. Sulzer and he was much affected when he learned that the collector was on board the ill-fated ship.
 MT. Sulzer before leaving Cordova desired to express his appreciation of the kindness and consideration with which he had been received here, and in fact wherever he had appeared on the coast, and to say that he felt confident of the result of the coming | election. Reports received by him from other portions of the territory, he said, were also of a most enCour- ,,I hn of success at the election which Oc- CUTS next Tuesday.
 During Delegate Sulzers stay in . the city he had interested himself . particularly in matters pertaining to this section. and had familiarized himself with details so as to be able to act advisedly when action is taken . on them at Washington He has . been particularly interested in the de yc'upmrnts in progress in the Boring . Eiycr coal field. an' has familariZed . himself thoroughly with the situation He was disappointed at not being able to visit that section. but the un- certainty of steamboat service made that impossible.
 The coal and oil land leasing bill, which has been practically agreed to . by both houses. no doubt will Lc put through as soon as the war measures are out of the way, he said. and it was . his belief that under it's provisions 1 the speedy opening up of these great local resources will be possible
 Delegate Sulzer also interested himself in the matter of mail facili. . ties for this section. and it is likely that as the result of his observations he will be able to give the postotiice department some useful suggestions.
 The mail service to Katalla pprtic- ularly was investigated, and he will make an effort to induce the depart ment to speedily make arrangements for a regular and satisfactory serv- ice for that region
 While in Cordova Delegate Sulzer went over the matter of the proposed federal building for this city, for which an appropriation already has been made by congress. He familiar ized himself with the needs of the city in this respect, visited the site of the proposed building, and dis cussed the matter with business men and others MT. Sulzer says that at an opportune time, probably not until war matters have been disposed of, however, he will take up the mat ter in the proper channels with a view to increasing the appropriation so as to provide q building commen- surate with the business needs and importance of CordOva.
 It is likely that soon after his ar rival in Ketchkan Mir Sulzer will leave for his home at SulZer, where he will remain until after election. and then proceed to Washington.
