minishing one bit that racial prejudice

mount despite all Of our work Of Am

pointed out, all factions of the party united to elect the Republican ter ritorial ard legislative tickets. The victory was a complete one, and rarty harmony prevailed until dis tribution of the party pie was dis cussed. Then discord arose and the warriors dug up their political knives.
 Regarding Hazelet, the report says there has been feeling in Seattle for some time that he would be opposed for the appointment of governor, but that the indorsement of him by the Republican organiza- ton in Alaska is believed to have added greatly to his strength.

SMALL FISHING OUTFITS
 TO BE IDLE THIS SEASON

r It IS doubtful if any of the small shore plants at Ketchikan will can salmon during the coming season, according to a statement made in Seattle recently by Senator J. R. Heckman, who is financially interest. ed in the Ketchikan plants, and who went Outside for the purpose of conferring with his associates in the fishing business.
 Regarding operations in the Ketch- ikan district in the near future. the senator is optimistic. He says over fishing has been carried on to such an extent that the present crisis was bound to result, but the hopeful spirit in which all canners face the situation indicates the fishing in- dustry will slowly return to a stable and lasting industry of the terri tory.
 Senator Heckman has shown his confidence in Ketchikan by the erec- tion of, an $sO,OOO store building. This project was financed by the sale of local bonds, most of which were subscribed to by local people.

RICKERT TELLS OUTSIDERS
 ABOUT INTERIOR RESOURCES


 association is the most unique or ganization on record" declared Ter ritorial Representative-elect P. J. Ricket recently in Seattle while a guest at the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Be. fore leaving Interior Alaska, Mir. Rickert announced that he would advertise Alaska during his stay in the States,. and he began his pub- licity campaign immediately upon ar rival on the Outside.
 "We estimate how much garden produce our section will require and raise that amount" continued the veteran farmer of the Fairbanks district. "Our association has a central warehouse. We fix definite and fair price for produce and then sell it, adding. 8 trifle each month. For instance, our price for potatoes after the crop was dug was five cents pound and when July rolled around the price of spuds was only six and one-half cents in Fairbanks. Do not think we do not have lettuce, tomatoes and nice things for the table in winter for our farmers grow these in hot houses in the cold months. It would be an education to those who think that Alaska does not have a future as an agricul tural areo to see what we farmers produced last year and see the prices at which we sold our product"
 ''It will take 800 new farmers ten years to supply the markets for these commodities" continued MT. Rickert, after he had explained that after deciding how much acreage to plant to produce to meet the community requirements, the surplus is planted to wheat, oats and hay, of which there is a great shortage.
 MT. Rickert predicted tha. Alas kans will be back in the territory as rapidly as they left it during war days, and the return of the old timers will be good thing for the territory. He also predicted that a revival of mining would follow a re- turn to normal conditions, and call ed attention to the fact that coal can be bought at Fairbanks at s9 ton. Alaska is going ,.o be place for homes" he said in con- clusion, 'and it will settle up rapidly under the right laws"
 After short stay in the Spirit City, the Fairbanks farmer left for the East to further his candidacy for the marshalship of his home divi- sion.

 ABOUT RAILROAD PROGRESS
The following ''letter to Dan" ap- peared in a recent issue of the Seat tle Alaska Dispatch:

 A Letter to, Dan
 Anchorage, Nov. E5.. 1920
 Dear Dan: take my pen in han l to let you know how lays the L nd up here where the carpet- t-oaggers claim to carry out the Government aim. Time was. old pard,. when a Sourdough, thoroughly tried snd weighed, you know, ay' the judgment of men of mettle and breed, was the man who was called for in every need. But here in this, burg where Government rails are trying to con- meet with pirate sails. they cali on the kid from counter and school esteeming the SourdougA q nut or a fool.
 And Dan, they make blunder so droll yet claim twas because the creek had not even a name-hadn't been surveyed by putteed son from Podunkville or Washington. And the bridge goes out-cause, rotten cement; but the bridge engineer is deeply intent with laying the blame on a roughneck lean. who shoveled the sand through large meshe ! screen.
 It's enough to make Sourdough swear, to watch their maneuvers, Dan, I declare; but all you can do is to bide your time, till the red tape road has reached your mine.
 And they're all so. busy holding their jobs-these freshman kids and Panama snobs-while your claim in Kantishna is waiting the day when the iron trail will make it pay. But now since it's Harding, the newly elect, and the fourth of March is the next prospect, the heads are leaving with bulging grips. for Washington on business trips.
 Yes, the weather is cold and we've nothing to burn but mine run coal not worth a durn; yet it's four years now since the U. s. A, started in to make the coal mine pay. And the navy bunch has come ashore to open up one coal mine more,, and we're hoping this chap, the navy gob, will do a better coal mine job.
 Oh, the real folks, Dan,, are just the same, stalking their poke on any old game that seems to promise a gamblers chance; we pay. the fiddler for Wilson's dance. But thes deal goes to Harding March the 4; he'll shuffle the deck and even the score so here's hoping, Dan. when the ice goes out, there'll be new trump with railroad scout at the head of the job who knows the game of bridging rivers without a name; and laying rails on glacier fats-who doesn't parade in puttees and spats.
 We've had our fill of misfits and old, and military guys, embroidered with gold. What we need most, it's plain to see, is practical man with a big "savee."

ARRIVAL SAYS OLDTlMERS
 COMING BACK TO ALASKA

Nome mining man who arrived from the States last night enroute to the Boring sea district, the return of oldtimers to the Northland, of whom there will be many come this year, will do more to develop Alaska than all we can reasonably hope the new administration will do for us. By that Mir. Miles means that our prosperity must come from the inside rather than from Wash ington. Prospectors are the big need of the country, he believes, and he predicts there will be many come to Alaska this year and in the years to follow, driven from the Outside by unfavorable conditions.
 MT. Miles, who comes direct from California, where the gold mining districts are working hard to insure the passage of the McFadden gold bonus bill, expresses the fear that the measure will never become a law. He thinks the bill might have been, passed last year. if Western congressman had rallied to its SUD- port, but he regards it as too late now to get favorable action for the reason that prices are lowering and because there is more opposition now than there was last year, both bankers and manufacturing jewellers being arrayed against the bill The bonus is as much needed in Califor- mia as it is in Alaska, he says, most of the big outfits being closed down in consequence of the prohibitive cost of operating.
 | General conditions are better in California than elsewhere on the Pacific coast, largely due to the fact that shipbuilding operations in California have not been curtailed, as they have been in Washington and Oregon. There is considerable complaint among California farmers, however, because of their inability to market crops at what they regard a fair price. MT. Miles cites the case of rice farmers, who are unable to get more than three cents a pound for their product, while the price quoted consumers is ten cents. ....
 The Oreville section, where Mir. Miles lives, escaped the recent cold snap which threatened much of Cal lfornia's citrus fruit. Oreville is in the northern citrus belt, and most Of the fruit had been picked before the cold weather came. But there has been an unusually heavy fall of rain in that section, the total up to the time Mir. Miles left home being about 30 inches, several times the normal rainfall. "" 4..:.
 MT. Miles has been engaged in mining in the Nome district since 1914 but has been Outside during the past two years. He is going back now to superintend the moving of a dredge from Bangor creek, where the paystreak has been worked out. to Anvil, where the machine will he operated during the coming season. 1t is expected that there will F, considerably more dredge mining on the peninsula during the coming season than there was last year, as a result of the lowering in the cost ot supplies and the prospect of a more plentiful supply of labor, of which there was great scarcity last season.
 MT. Miles is looking for a dog team with which to make the trip down river. He is a guest at the Southern hotel.

WICK DOMINIC WAR PAINT;
 TALKS ALASKA SYNDICATE

James Wickersham, six times del- egate7elect to Congress, has jumped the political reservation, put on war paint and declared war on the Re- publican organization in Alaska, ac- cording to a report from tire terri torial capital. Couriers are spread ing. tidings to remote sections of the territory summoning lieutenants of Wickersham and councils of war are being held ready for open war fare at Washington on March 4, when Senator Harding takes his oath of office and takes charge of the affairs of the nation, including Alaska. The war declaration results from the announcement of J. C. Mcbride, Republican National com mitteeman for Alaska, that he will back George c. Hazelet, of Cordova, for governor of Alaska.
 ''I will do everything in my power to warn President Harding of the danger of the situation, and every thing possible to defeat the appoint ment of Hazelet and every man in- dorsed by the Alaska syndicate combination" is the announcement made by Wickersham in his war declaration.
 Wickersham claims Hazelet, who was delegate to the Republican na- tional convention, and Thomas Don ahoe, of Cordova, Democratic na- tional committeeman, elected Me Bride through big majorities in the Alaska syndicate precincts of Cor dova, Efak, Latouche and Kenne- colt, and says the issue is now squarely presented to President Harding:
 Shall the Alaska syndicate, in addition to it's present control of Alaska transportation rates, copper, coal and other natural resources on public domain in Alaska also have control of Alaska through the appointment of its agents and sery- ants as governor and judges?"
 A fight was anticipated over the governorship, says the Juneau re- port, when Wickersham returned to Alaska. He now has political friends circulating petitions over the terri tory urging him to become candi- date for governor Friends of Me Bride declare the Alaska syndicate cry is an old issue and will have little weight in Washington.
 Few former supporters of Wick ersham in Seattle can be found who are willing to follow him in the fight. Most of these men say they are waiting the announcement of Mcbride regarding other territorial and divisional appointments before taking issue, for the reason they believe Mcbride and the territorial committee will be fair in distribu. tion of patronage, and the ambition of Wickersham to be governor is a personal affair. And many believe Wickersham has weakened his po- sition by claiming the governorship without regard to the ambitions of many of his supporters who are seeking appointments.

White House Cars
Show They Are With
the A. A. A.

Washington, D. c., April 9-The
White House automobiles have new
A. A A radiator emblems. President
Warren G. Harding is a member of
the Marion County Automobile Asso-
citation which is a part of the Ohio
State Automobile Association that is
affiliated with the American Automo-
bile Association. At the direction of
David Jameson, president of the ma
tional body, seconded by F. T. Bent
ley, head of the Ohio association, the
A. A. A. head quarters here had spe-
cial emblems made for the official
governmental cars showing that the
caruser believed in locality, state,
and nation wide motoring coopera-
ton.
Having made numerous road trips
between Washington and Marion,
most of the route being over the "Old
National Road" President Harding
has repeatedly come in contact with
actual highway conditions, and in
consequence has given the subject no
small amount of attention. One
point which he has always empha-
sized has had to do with proper main
tenance after construction, and this
opinion has been expressed by him
again and again. There is belief
that in any future Federal help to the
states in highways. the Head of the
Nation" will insist upon a mainte-
nance provision which shall be def
nitely expressed.

CHEVROLET OFFER
MAKES AN APPEAL

The announcement made by the
Chevrolet Motor Company that it
will make cash refund to all pur-
chasers of Model -Four Ninety" auto
mobiles is proving very popular with
those who are in the market for cars.
The commanding position of the
company in the automobile world
naturally inspires confidence in the
plan and more than usual interest in
the buying public. The logic and
fairness of the announcement makes
a peculiar appeal to the business
commonsense of the discriminating
buyer
In the light of the Chevrolet sales
record it is regarded as certain that
$4,000 Chevrolet -Four Ninety" cars
will be sold by August LIST, in which
event the refunds of $1,000 on open
cars and light delivery wagons, and
10000 on closed cars will reach the
total of about 100000
The large production capacity and
up.to- date equipment of Chevrolet
"Four-Ninety" factories are well
known, and the ability of the ener-
getic manufacturing organization to
utilize the best quantity production
methods is recognized as responsible
lor the low price at which Chevrolet
Four-Ninety" cars can be sold.
