One of the finest specimens of wolves ever seen in this section is on display at store here. The wolf is a silver grey, with fine long hair and lines showing he was a powerful brute. The ani. nal was caught in a small steel trap near Moosehide by Indian Titus. The wolf was alive when the Indian appeared on the scene, and it was necessary to put a bull let through him to put him out of business. The trap in which he was caught was a little larger than a mans hand. The links of the chain were much twisted by the wolf in his attemp to free himself. Dawson News.

CHICAGO. July 20-Prefacing his remarks by saying that what he was about to say might be grounds for impeachment, Judge K. M. Landis, addressing meet ing of wounded soldiers from Fort Sheridan, denounced the foes in Congress to the soldiers bonus bill.

 The judge was greeted with enthusiasm by the former service men and when he completed his address he was given tremendous applause.

Sutherland's S Letter to Harding

May }, 1921.
 To the President: I thank you for your note dated yesterday and 1 hasten 10 express my regret that a divided sentiment in the Terri tory of Alaska has prevented your early appointment of the Governor. I sincerely hope that with the CO., operation of Secretary Fall you may be able to come to conclusion Tn the matter that will be satisfac. tory to the people whom l have the honor to represent.
 Briefly stated, the situation as it appears 10 me viewing it without partisan prejudice is this: The majority of the people of Alaska favor the candidacy of James Wick ersham, a minority of the people of Alaska favor the candidacy of George C. Hazelet.
 The candidacy of Col. William T. Perkins of Seattle, Washington, has come to my attention and l want to say emphatically that Col. Perkins would not be acceptable to the people of Alaska for the reason that he is not an Alaskan in any sense and 1 do not believe that he can obtain the endorsement of any number of the residents of that Ter. ritory. His principal disqualitica. ton is that in his desire to hold an honorable appointive office he loses sight of the fact that he would govern without the consent of the governed.
 Alaska IS populated by a strong, virile American people who would be humiliated by the sending ot one from afar to govern them. as though they were lesser breeds without the law"
 There are a number of men in the Territory who are strong, fear less, and we'll qualified who would administer the office fearlessly and justly. These men are not of the appointive office seeking class and

 On all counts each of the de- fendants was held on bail of $50, which was furnished.
 Governor Small is reported to have said, following the finding of the indictments, that it was merely a political frame-up and that nothing would come of the matter as the case is without any foundation.

Louis Gagner Passes Away; Interment Made
 In Redmen'S Cemetery

Louis Gagner passed away in Wrangell at 3:15 last Friday morning. Deceased was about 58 years of age. He had been in poor health for some time and is reported to have been in a hos pital at Ketchikan recently. He owned the gas-boat, Viola, on which he made his home. Flu neral services were held Friday afternoon, Rev. Corser officiating. lnterment took place at the Red mems cemetery.
 E. F. Carlstrom was appointed administrator of the Gagner es- tate on the day that Mir. Gaener passed away. MT. Carlstrom found no papers among the dead mans effects that gave any clue as to his relatives. Tax receipts were found showing that Gagner has been paying taxes on farm property in Clallam county, Washington.
 The reporter learned from Mrs. A. Lemieux that MT. Gagner left brothers and sisters and numer- ous relatives in the Province of Quebec. He is a first cousin of General Boulanger. His only known relative in the West is a cousin residing in Kamloops, B. c. Louis Gagner was born near the City of Quebec. When about 30 years of age he came West, stopping for a short time with friends in Kamloops, B. c. From there he went to Tacoma, and for about 20 years was a resident of the State of Washington. About eight years ago lie came to Wran- gell and from that time until his death he followed the life of a fisherman.
 Just before his death Mir. Gag ner was asked concerning his relatives, and he gave the name of a half brother whom he said he had not seen in more than 20 years and who resides in Holyoke, Mass. His silence concerning his other relatives suggests the pos sibility of an arrangement from them.

Sutherland Tells Why An Alaskan Was Not
 Appointed Governor
HaMrs Ninrr)

The Miner from time to time has been approached by persons who'supported Dan Sutherland in the last election, asking how he stood on the governorship, and what attitude he had taken. Many rumors had been circulated in re- gard to the conduct of the dele gate, and to set these at rest the Miner wrote to Mir. Sutherland asking for a statement, which was cheerfully given. The letter follows:
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
 WASHINGTON, D. (.
 June IS, 1921. My DEAR MR. SELBY:
 h reply to yours of May 9th enclose herewith copy of letter to the Presi- dent dated May }, 1921, which is ex- planatory of my position in the contest for the governorshlp.
 My claim that a majority of the peo- pie of Alaska preferred Judge Wick ersham for governor was based on the petitions of $500 residents of the Terri tory and on many personal letters l re- ceived on the subject from all over Alaska.
 Late in April the Secretary of the Interior informed me that in his judg- ment neither Mr. Haslett nor Judge Wickersham would be further consid- cred as nominees for the goyernorship of Alaska, and he told me to agree with MT. Mcbride on some other can didate for the position if we did not want an outsider MT. Mcbride believed that Mr. Hazlett was still being con- sidered for the place. Then came the candidacy of Col. w. T. Perkins. My attitude toward outside candidates is set forth in the enclosed copy of my It tier to the President.
 My efforts were directed toward the appointment of an Alaskan. 1 made a personal plea to Secretary Fall for the appointment of an Alaskan.
 On May II, 1921, Mr. Mcbride and were called to Secretary Falls ottce and notified by the Secretary himself that neither Mr. Hazlett nor Judge Wickersham were considered as can didates and that we must decide on some Alaskan.
 I named at least half a dozen differ ent men in Alaska whom l thought would be acceptable to the people of the Territory, but Mir. Mcbride held that Mr. Hazlett would still be consid- cred, and as consequence no candi- date was presented by us and the ad- ministration decided upon the appoint ment of Mr. Bone.
 There is no room for criticism of the administration for the action as every opportunity was given us to agree upon candidate.
 The new governor takes his seat without any political alliance in the Territory, nor is he under obligations to any one except the administration for his appointment. He has the abso- lute confidence of the President and Secretary Fall and his representations as to the requirements of Alaska will have their endorsement. Sincerely yours,
 DAN A. SUTHERLAND,
 Delegate from Alaska.

 Hundred Gents on Dollar

SEATTLE, July IS. -Forma- tion of a new bank with a capital stock of million and quarter dollars to take over the deposit liabilities of the Scandinavian American Bank of Seattle was announced today.
