(Cordova Times)

Reports from all parts Of the Territory indicate that the Republicans almost unanimously in favor of the election of J. c. Mcbride National Committee of the party. This is not surprising when considers the fact that he is of the substantial business men of the Territory, with a continuous bona fde residence of over twenty years, and is in qualified to discharge the duties of that position.
 Mir Mcbride is not identified with any faction of the Republican party and he only consented to enter the after J. R. Heckman had withdrawn, and upon the solicitation of friends and party work from various towns in Alaska, who realized that he the most available man for the office.

If all the wealth created in
Powell county by Powell county
people in the past few years was
still with us, our county would
be the richest per capita of any
in the state. But by far b e
larger part of this wealth is gone
TO enrich other counties. And
there is yet a continual stream OF
people going from our county to
the Bluegrass taking their money
there and leaving others of us to
recreate this wealth only to do
as they have done, take belong

not be.
And this reminds US that our
people are down there building

while they should stay at home
and do these very things f O

of this before you decide TO leave
