WAS INDIGNATION
 WASTED?

 Dawes when he, armed with the lat ter's proxy at the Cleveland conven- tion, refused to vote it for John Frame for National Committeeman.
 The organ of the betrayer of Gov ernor Strong in an editorial tries to show that Charles is altogether wrong and says that his indignation "seems somewhat misplaced. Granting that Dr. Dawes was duly elected Delegate to the c. o. P. convention, and that he gave his colleague, MT. Sexton, his proxy with written instructions to- recommend or vote for Frame, it does not by any means follow that there was a betrayal of that trust"
 The Juneau Empire is quite cor rect and we accept the correction for the citizens of Alaska. Arthur Shoup, being the alternate at Cleve land, properly took his place instead of Dr. Dawes, and therefore Sexton could not use the proxy of Dr. Dawes Therefore it is indeed very simple that Sexton did not betray Dr. Dawes.
 It is indeed very simple that Ar thur Shoup did not betray Dr.. Dawes either, because he did not represent the doctor. But he did betray the People of Alaska who, at the very same time that it appointed our gen. ial Arthur Shoup an alternate to go to the c. o. P. convention, also elected John Frame for National Committeeman.
 The people of this territory should not forget certain important facts in connection with certain papers which are trying to influence their opinions. The Juneau Empire can not see anything wrong about the betrayal of the people of Alaska by MT. Sexton and Arthur Shoup. That is not strange for John Troy, the owner of the Juneau Empire, got his paper through the direct efforts of Governor Strong, and then at the very first opportunity and because Governor Strong refused to be a party to a political steal, John Troy kicked his benefactor out. He be- trayed his benefactor.
 Is it at all strange that the same John Troy cannot see anything wrong in the fact that Sexton and Shoup have betrayed the People of Alaska? ?
 The Hon. w. D. Grant of Wrangell has hit the nail on the head when he said recently, "The secret of political success is strict honesty. And Arthur Shoup will get nowhere in politics unless he follows the example of his father, former U. s. Marshal Shoup, one of the finest men who ever occupied public office in Alas Lo oH

There is a strong effort being made at Fairbanks to make it ap pear that the entire Fairbanks dele gations "were weak" and were taken by the other delegations. Such statements come only from persons who are woefully ignorant of the cur rents and cross-currents of legisla- tive politics. The only weak "sis- ter" that Fairbanks had was MT. E. M. Keys, for this man went on the principle that "the governor could do no wrong" and consequently found himself either willingly or otherwise voting with the "soiled Third."

cherish her memory as a very prec-

Truthfulness, Frankness, Helpful

She was always willing and helpful

Mrs. Ham mond has retired from active work on the stage although she recently appeared in the Whaling city in revival of "Pollyanna" which was her favorite production years ago. During the war she entertained in the war cainps and at the New Lon don naval base. Since that time she has travelled in Europe and made q most interesting trip to Constanl- nople where she visited St. sophia mosque in Stamboul in which there is supposed to be the cross upon which Christ was crucitied, though 1t is now used as Mohammedan tenn pie of worship.

FORMER FAVORITE 0F STAGE IS HERE
Clara Turner Attending Rotary Convention With Her Husband

New Britain theatergoers of a de- cade or more ago, stand up and cheer for a stranger but still a friend is in your midst. The visitor is none other than Mrs. James Hammond, formerly Clara Turner of the l0-2O-3O stock company fame, one of the most flaw orite and popular actresses to appear at the Lyceum theater when the best of legitimate offerings were presented to local amusement lovers. Mrs. Hammond, with her husband who War formerly her leading man, is stop ping at the Burritt hote land attend ing the Rotary club convention.
 When seen at the hotel today by a representative of the Herald" Mrs. Hammond was quite enthusiastic about her first visit to New Britain in a number of years and in a ca- pacity other than that of an actress. She admired the new hotel and ex- pressed the belief that it is an asset 10 the city and should have been built long before this. Mrs. Hammond has been renewing acquaintances since ar irving yesterday and among those to whom she has paid a visit is Rev. Harry I. Bodley, rector emeritus of St. Marks Episcopal church. Mrs. Hammond Is member of the Epis- copnl church and was in attendance at the old St. Marks church whenever she appeared in New Britain and re- nisiRed over Sunday. Upon the in- vitation of the Herald" reporter she visited the new St. Marks church and was agreeably surprised tits splen- dor and magnificence.

 Mrs. Hammond recalled the days when she played at the Lyceum the ater. first with Bennett and Moulten company. later under the sole man. agement of these men and lastly in her own company. She was IA years of age when she first began her the- atrical career and was on the stage but a short time when assigned to leading roles. After three seasons MT.

Dav1DB CREEK OIL LEASES

ne Divide creek country has long
been favorably considered by those
interested in oil production as a most
fAv6rable territory and there have been
many rumors as to the probability Of
the drilling of an oil well somewhere
in that country.
Tie prospects are now very good for
actaal drilling at some point in the
Divide creek structure, since about 80
oil leases have during the past week
bee2 recorded on ranches in that coun-
try; sAsse leases running to the Union
OIL & Gas company Of Rochester, Min
nesota, a strong financial corporation,
which agrees to geologic the terri
tory within 80 days, and to begin ac
tive development operations within 60
days.
The lessons are the following well
known and substantial ranchmen in the
Divide creek district: John Stephens,
G. L. Noren, W. E. lowell, n. W. Fell
lows, q. N. Schwartz, Harry Gardner,
Mrs. Fannie Austin, Hamilton Arthur,
j. H. Heatherly, F. 9. Maxfield, Chas.
F. ONeil, Union State Bank, n. @.

F. F. Park, Albert F. Schultz, VIM E.
Banta, Jos. E. Banta, Chas. W. Banta,
Arthur 8. Beard, Ernest M. Toland,
Lawrence A: siddall, Lafayette Smith.
The company has given assurances
that drilling will be started at some
point in the Divide creek country in
the very near future, although the ex-
act location Of the well has not yet
been determined. This will be good
news to an of Garfield county, and the
Divide creek folks are to be congrat-
ulated on the probability that they
will have the first oil well is the
county.
