BOY IS A STUNT FLYER
 IN CALIFORNIA
Crit Holman Making Record at Aviation Field; Capt. Finnegan's Brother
 Is a Pupil.

The following letter was received an old timer, and well known in Seward, and who is now in San Diego, Cal, with his two boys, Crit and Chet, who are in the Aviation branch of the service, says the Se- ward Gateway.
 "We had a little reunion and dinner last Sunday, July 21st and had all the Seward Kids I could round up at the dinner, my two boys, Joe Campbell, Tom Finne- gan and myself. Alex Bolam is here but I could not get hold of him in time to join us at the din- ner.
 Bob Beach and wife were here last week but returned home Sun day morning, and before I had de- cided to have the reunion.
 From Finnegan [younger broth CT of Capt. J. J. Finnegan, now. at Juneau1 is doing extremely well, he is flying by himself and is going IO llldht SOOd OiSJ iN hho pNSii working very hard all the time and is determined to stick to aviation.
 Grit has been assigned as in- structor in Stunt Flying, and ma chine gun shooting from the plane all of which does not please him, as he is anxious to get to France or across the water He will have Tom Finnegan up with him the first of the week for his first instruction in stunt flying and I sure would like to see it, for Crit says he will give Tom the whole thing in it's worst form right off the jump, and will make Tom think the Kenai river never was so full of rocks and that a Tidal wave had covered the dog trail at the head of the Inlet. Tom is too nervy to get much frightened, but it's a hundred to one shot that his stomach turns inside out and he donates his breakfast to mother earth about 5000 feet below him. It certainly makes me hold my breath to see Crit fall end over end, side over side for a thousand feet. or go down tail first spiralling like corkscrew until you think he will never stop until he. hits the earth, then when he rights up the machine and flies away, somehow or other, I want to sit down on the ground and rest. It is certainly great work and a wonderful expe- rience for those who live through it.
 "Three of Crit's closest compan- ions in Aviation have been killed. Ex-Mayor Mitchell was the last one. Crit has only had one accident and had horse shoe around his neck or something equally as lucky. The machine in which he was flying fell bottom side up and there was not piece left of the machine worth 25cts. When Crit crawled from underneath the wrecked ma chine all the injury he received was small scratch on the leg which did not amount to anything. He got right into another machine and went on flying.
 Tt seemed to be an unlucky day, Friday. July 12th. there were eleven machines smashed up that day, one man killed, and some se- verely wounded. Each one of these machines cost the Government $10.- 900.
 "Chet has not started flying yet. but expects to shortly, he will be flying in the Navy, which is not con sidered as dangerous as flying in the Army

Big Mine Operator in Inter for Thinks Our Delegate Should Be Returned
 on His Record.
STANDS HIGH WITH ALL
Departments AvoW Alas .ka's Representative as Able, Industrious and
 Without Flemish.

Frank c. Manley, for many years one of the largest producers of plac- CT gold in Alaska, is very strongly in favor of reelection of Charles A. Sulzer for Delegate to Congress. Like with other Alaskans who have visited Washington during the last year, he found Delegate Sulzer de votedly YNrking for the interest of all Alaska and all Alaskans. He dis covered that his standing with the various departments is high, and that he is looked upon as an able, con scientious and tircless worker, whose word may be deepnded upon, and whose character and reputation are without blemish.
 Mr. Manley writes as follows:
 Chicago, H., Aug. 25, 1918. Mir. John w. Troy,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 My dear MT. Troy:
 As Alaska is bubbling over at the present time with a political cam paign in which the Hon. Charles A Sulzer, the Delegate from Alaska is a candidate for reelection, and is opposed by Mr. Wickersham, the for mer Delegate, I think it might not be amiss for me to say a word re garding the situation, in view of the fact that I have just left Washing ton where I have spent some weeks o,, I int in A Ia ka and its welfare.
 I. went to Washington some weeks ago on a matter of personal business of some importance. and the nature of it required numerous conferenc es in the departments and with a number of officials Although I had followed MT. Sulzer's work in Wash ington with interest for some time I had never had the opportunity oi meeting him until this recent trip to the capital. found him a most affable gentleman, a hard and per sistent worker, and anxious to dc everything possible to help Alaska and Alaskans, and in his endeavors to those ends he is meeting with marked success.
 In the departments I found that MT Sulzer is held in high esteem that he has ready access at all times to the heads of the several branches of the Government and that he has interested all in Alaska and it's welfare. Official Washington knows him for what he is. straight forward. honest, hard working bust ness man, whose reputation stands without blemish and whose word is as good as his bond.
 On the other hand, Mir Wicker sham's reputation of Tacoma and Fairbanks days are known. and believe his influence is nil. Of course it has been a matter of common knowledge throughout Alaska fol years that the former Delegate was persona non grata with Attorne, General Wickersham. and it is m, opinion that he has less influence in the departments at the present time. and would have less in case he should be reelected. But. o that. I think we need have n feal for am confident that the people

JAIASON COUNTY'S RECORD AT STAKE
(Editorial)

jackson County's record is aaai1
d. STAKE. Next week beginning Mon
gay August 5th and continuin,
Il Q u 6 n Sa turda Aug
! ''t loth. the people of this county
WA again be given an opportunity
70 say to the Government whethe,
Or not they can be counted on to
nelp win the war, particularly
IL .hfoosh the War Savings Campaign.
MS IS the second time that the
government has asked this county
TO declare itself in regard to this
WORK, to say whether or not if
would pledge itself to raise it's quota
Oh war Savings Stamps during the
year. 1t asked that this be done bv
subscribing its entire quota in
p1edges, which was the purpose Of
the War Savings drive of the week
of June 1928.
AS a result Of the first War Saw
lnss drive this county pledged onlv
o4 per cent of its quota, This means
that 20 per cent is yet to be pledged
inns is the task of next week. The
countys entire quota of War Saw
lnss Stamps amounts to $285, $3.50. 90
or an average of 500 for every in
dlvldual III the county.
knoWlng as we do the size of the
task that is before us next week
our first duty is to set ourselves
ABOUT to do it. Nothing should
come before this call of the Govern
ment. Our private and personal
interests can be, and should be, set
ASIDE until we have redeemed
our county from the unfavor-
aGle position it now holds in this
work, and place it on record as 100
per cent patriotic. This will. call for
tune, service and perhaps a little
sacrifice on the part of our citizens,
but we will be poor lot if we are
not able to make at this period of
our country's struggle whatever
sacrifice and service is necessary to
save her righteous cause.
We believe that this county's re-
cord as a result of next weeks War
Savings drive will come clear and
clean. We believe that by Satur
day night, August 10, Jackson Coun-
fy can boast with pride that her
people are 100 per cent patriotic
that they are in to help win the
war, and that their answer to their
government is that they can be
counted On always to do their part
n defending the flag and fighting
for freedom and justice.

those who have been responsible

not hit to place their names to a

Anyone proposing peace with
Germany before Kaiserism shall

should either be interned or he
placed in an insane ASYLUM for

way to Berlin. 1t will be a lone.

demand on that occasion, and it
Will be that Germany shall bear the
