TO THE VOTERS OF THE THIRD
DIVISION, TERRITORY ALASKA

Being a candidate for the lower
house of the Territorial Legislature
subject to the approaching primaries
take this opportunity to introduce
myself to the people of the Third
Division.
| have been a member of the Re-
publican party all my life; | came to
Alaska first in the summer Of 1895;
was in the Klondike rush in 1897,
and after" prospecting along the Yu
kon river and its tributaries a mum
Der of seasons went to Nome in 1901
where | practiced law, prospected and
mined.
| have lived in Anchorage and vi
cinity since 1915 and have here es-
tablished my permanent home.
V | have always taken a deep inter
est in the resources and affairs Of
the Territory and have consistently
in my judgment stood for the wei
fare and progress of the people, The
resources of the territory must be
conserved for the benefit Of those
who have made their home within
its borders. At the present time con-
servation has become a graft and is
SO manipulated to extend privileges
to special interests who are sucking
the country dry. Therefore | heartily
indorse the splendid fight our dele
gate to Congress, Dan Sutherland, is
making against these special interests.
If they win Alaska will, within a
few years be robbed of her i'm
mense wealth and will become impol
tant only as a hopping off place for
the Moth Pole.
l am for Dan Sutherland and his
policies.
Alaska should be accorded as large
a measure OF home rule as her reve-
nues will support and in the mean
time Federal political offices in the
Territory should be filled by men
and women whose homes and inter,
ests are in the Territory. So long
as such places are given as reward
for political support to office seek
ers outside Of Alaska, just so long
will the result be a minimum Of
service to the people and a maximum
of expense and misrule,
The legislature should observe the
strictest economy in expanding the
peoples money, apprOpriating only
such sums as are necessary for the
adequate administration of the laws
and the conduct of government activ-
tiles
| advocate the budget system in all
Territorial expenditures.
If. by your sufferance | shall go to
the legislature, shall go unhampered
by political obligations and free from
all strings except those of conscience
and my duty to fully, justly and sin
cerely serve the people OF my divi-
sion
Sincerely yours,
J. L. WALLER.

 The parents of Alice, only sister of Vincent Astor, were divorced in 1909, Mir. Astor later marrying the lovely but socially unassuming Madelaine Force, while his first wife becmae the bride of the patrician Lord Rib blesdsle.
 As the daughter of Lady Ribbles- dale, Alice Astor became what her friends termed laushingly, a gracious expatriate." She resided in London-naturally enough-and became an instant tavorite with the rather hard-to-please bluebloods of that grey metropolis. Not only was she charming girl; she was an

 Who, in his widest aspirations to authorship, could imagine that the crash of the fatal iceberg against the Titanic and the flash of a pair of heroic brown eyes in a hospital had any connection?
 Yet there was a fine thread of circum' stance binding the two occurrences, as you shall see. The gallant Prince obolenski had been wounded in the war. Literally dragged back to life by his royal nurse love sprang up between them. They were married in the Cathedral of St. Chry- sostom in Yalta, and took up their resi- dence in Russia-permanently, as they thought.
 But along came the revolution, which swept all their property into the Commu- mist dustbn. So off they hurried to Eng land, where the Prince, an Oxford grad uate, was a popular favorite with the cream of society.
 All the while only an extraordinary incident, coupled with an old woman's horror of poverty prevented the Princes bride from basking in the lap of luxury. Before the bombs of the Nihilists could despatch hinn-a fate which he foresaw only too clearly-Czar Alexander II, the Princess father, invested a fortune of

 Have you heard how Prince Obolen- ski fell out with his wife, and then fell out of the Romanoff money bags?" is the query.
 "Yes, and I also heard how he fell in with the Astor family, and will soon fall into their clan by marriage!" is the re- joinder.
 This is not to be mistaken for a mere play upon words. It is just Mayfairs picturesque way of saying that Prince Serge Platonovitch Obolensk NeledinsM Meetski, dashing descendant of an illus trious Czarist-Russian line, has become the fiance of Miss Alice Muriel Astor, daughter of Lady Ribblesdale and the late John Jacob Astor.
 Beneath the surface news value" of such an announcement, recently made, turks a breath-taking tale of bad luck turned to good; of two cryptic and fasci- hating personalities, and of a romantic love match linking the Nevsky Prospect with Fifth Avenue.
 The story, which is perfect moving picture material, flashes back" twice once to that awful night when the sumpt- uous Titanic bore to the bottom of the Atlantic Alice Astor's father.

 But Alexander's assassination had yielded a weird influence over his berett spouse. Crushed by his horrible death, she also became the prey of strange monomania--the dread of poverty. In her widowhood, she brooded avariciously upon what might happen if the sS0,OO0,0oO were swept away.
 Better privations now than disaster afterward," she would mutter. The three children, meanwhile, though not actually in want, lived in an atmosphere of gen. tility that bordered on the shabby.
 Finally. little Catherine took matters into her own hands. Refused any share in her imperial fathers fortune. she had recourse to the concert stage for a Eving. Even after her first husband died (she was widowed by the death of Prince Bari attnska), she found consolation and fl. nancial independence in the divine gift Of song. The peerless Melba had been her teacher, by the way.
 The next high light in the Princess career was her romantic attachment to Prince Obolenski.

 Little rs-admiring in tone, you may be sure-began to spring up about the couple, whispers that were partly true and perhaps partly legend. Was the Prince a good dancer?
