Says He Has No Oroan

In his address Senator, Watson ap.
pealed to the voters of the Sixth dis
trict for their support of his candid
acy for reelection. He stated he had
no personal organ to present his
claims and that he was fighting his
own battles.
He stated he had served both in
the house and the senate and was
proud of the record he had made as a
legislator, and was standing squarely
upon it. This brought forth great ap-
plause. He added that those who
were opposing him had found no flaw
in that record.
He then said that he had been in
trusted to write the Republican plat
form and that as a delegate to the
Chicago convention he had given loyal
support to the presidential candidacy
of General Wood, for whom Indiana
had expressed preference. He sup
ported Harding when it was seen that
wood could not be nominated

Senator Watson told of what he
called criminal extravaganza in the
expenditure of public funds during

extravaganza of the Democratic ad-
ministration during the war-period

VALDEZ SHOWED RIGHT SPIRIT

In the theory that whatever policy hurts one hurts another all Val dezans should stand ready to aid Cordova in any manner possible to secure changes in the fish laws which will aid in propagating and protecting the spawning salmon. It is a matter which is vital to our sister town which depends largely upon the canneries for it's prosperi- ty. If the fish supply is depleted on the Copper river flats it means a diminishing supply for all Alaska. While it might be argued by certain interests that the fishes of the sea are owned by the people of the Unit ed States in common, as in the case with our game, such argument should have little force with Alas kans, who suffer alone, should the supply be depleted The canneries have killed the proverbial goose, and their withdrawal from the business would cause the loss of many hun dreds of thousands of dollars in taxes, which directly benefit every person in the territory. Therefore, if Cordovans have any plan by

OUR PURCHASE OF ALASKA

OUR PURCHASE OF ALASKA
 After the lapse of more than half a century there is still not a little mystery surrounding the purchase of the territory of Alaska by the United States from Russia. In the current number of the American History Re- view MT. Frank A. Colder tells the story of the transaction, not hesi- tating to disclose some discreditable conduct on the part of members of the American congress, and conclud- ing that Russia sold Alaska not out of enmity to England, not out of the friendship for the United States, but out of the desire to get rid of a territory which had become valueless and burdensome."
 On the other hand, just why the United States bought Alaska is not quite so clear to MT. Colder. It was not done, he thinks, with the object of catering to the Pacific coast states or of pleasing Russia. MT. Colder maintains that in reality no one but Secretary Seward was deep ly interested in the purchase of Alaska and the question is, why was he eager to buy? Stoeckel, the Rus sian agent in the transaction, did not hot oh ly that of a far-sighted statesman who saw the political and economic importance of the territory. It seemed to Stoeckel that Seward was interested in the purchase because of hope that it would bring him once more into popular favor
 Some of the correspondence of Stoeclel with his government throws an interesting sidelisht on the repu- tation that Uncle Sam had in those days in so distant country, as Russia. At one stage in the nego- tiations for the sale in the spring of 1868 Stoeckel thought that the case was almost hopeless and asked for additional instructions from his government As far as he could see there were only two dignified courses to pursue: CD To tell the United States that Russia had done her part, and that if the United States were unwilling to pay for Alaska, they could have it without paying; CD To send a strong but a courteous note which would touch the American pride. The Russian minister of foreign affairs wrote a reply which was approved by the czar favoring the second of these courses but not the first for fear that the offer would be taken up! He said: "But you should not say a word about the cession without compensation. I consider it impru- dent to expose American cupidity to this temptation"

 by Government

New York, Feb. 3.-The Black Star steamship Yarmouth, which sail ed for Havana last month with $4, 80O,000 cargo of whiskey, only to put back here for repairs, was seized by the government late today. Su- pervising Federal Prohibition h. spector Shevlin, formally notified the captain that the vessel could not begin unloading the liquor for stor- age in bonded warehouses.
 Counsel for the owners, corpora tion, composed of negroes, announced that he would apply to the federal court for an injunction restraining Shevlin. A guard of 15 prohibition agents has been on board since work men recently were discovered trying to make off from the ship in a small boat with 56 bottles of whiskey.
 Captain Cockburn, the .colored master of the Yarmouth, appeared before Shevlin today to explain how IA cases of whiskey got from the vessels hold to an upper deck under large tarpaulin, where prohibition agents found it. He said it had been moved so that passengers baggage might be unloaded. When the ship sprang leak off the New Jersey coast, after it sailed a few hours before prohibition went into effect, the captain said that the 1OC cases of whiskey were thrown over. board to right heavy starboard list. He said he came back to New York instead of making for Norfolk as he preferred the Northern port
