WICKERSHAM'S WORK
FOB ALASKA PRAISED
Territory of Alaska. The House of
representatives, however, ig judge
or tho qualifications of its own
members, and if Judge Wickersliam
enters a contest for the seat in.
tihe houso, it is probably it will
be awarded to him .
Debt To Wickersliam
"Alaska probably owes more to
| James AVickensham than to any otli
' er living man. He is thoroughly
] wrapped up in the development of
that territory, and devotes his
5 entire time to its interests. It has
been no easy task to gain recogni
' fion for Alaska. Its reputation as
a snow swept land of perpetual win
' t(x hag gained currency in the
1 Eastern, portion of the United; States
1 and all efforts for governmental aid
• and aopropri&tions have been mark
1 e(' by great difficulty.
"JndgQ Wickersliam undoubtedly
! gained the appropriation for the
1 government railroad which is des
' tined to open up Alaska and make
i» as great a country as Norway,
i Sweden or Denmark. The climate
■ of Alaska is very similar to those
«ouutrles an^ it. has immeasurably
• greater resources.
Time To The People
I "Judge Wickorsham's record is
; w»U known in Alaska and it seems
) strange 'hat the people should
• have voted to return some other
man to Congress. Of course ho
has not been subservient to the
copoer trust, but hQ has been true
as steel to the people of ttie laua
for which he cares so much.
"It is said tha* th$ liquor in
1 ♦°ie£.ts sent a large amount of mon
ey to Alaska last fail to be spent
in defeating the dry law. This
money it is said, foil into tlio hands
of the opponents of Wickersham,
and they spent it to defeat him in
stead of trying to defeat cth dry law
"But whatever the reason, we can
net but think that the defeat of
Judge Wickersham. will be sorely
fel* by the people of Alaska. In:
Washington City, he is looked up
on as the leading authority on Al- I
aska. H?s library is filled with
works* ?scriptivq and explanatory
of that country, and his office is
a museum of Alaska products. It
will be many years before Alaska
has "*a strong a man as Wickersham
in Congress."
