DELEGATE SUTHERLAND
 ARRIVES ON AID. EVANS

Delegate Dan A. Sutherland arriv- ed from Washington on the Admiral Evans ,and left on the same beat for Kodiak, Ahtak, and other ports. Mir. Sutherland will visit the interior and returning to Seward, spend several days here. The Delegate had little to say regarding the Territorial com mitteeman controversy other than that the voters had elected John Frame and he should be named for the place. Speaking of railroad con- ditions h. stated that the sQuabbles and charges arising from Ethorage were hurllng the railroad badly and would ultimately result in great harm to the entire district unless the senseless charges against the man. agement ceased. He declarel that many congressman were against the government owning therailroad and it might be thrown into private hands in case the quarrels were kept up. MT. Sutherland paid Manager Lee II. Landis a compliment over the showing made in reducing expenses and stated that in his opinion it was good advertisement for Alaska, as the road must pay or quit running He declared that it was hard to get appropriations for Alaska, even with the entire support of the people and with continual pickering and quarrel ing over minor matters a feeling of disgust was engendered.
 The Delegate was also more liber- al, in his views regarding the fish cries, believing that more elastic rul- ings would help the industry, which is the chief and main one of the country to the westward. He will in vestigate conditions and sentiment in the towns visited, and will be better able to express an opinion upon his return.
