U'ICKKJwSHAMS JPLATFORM i
From the Iditarod Pioneer:—
The Juueau Empire says that
"while '-he platform upon which Del
egate Wickersham has announced
that ha will make his fourth cam
paign is good as far as it goes, it
does not measure up to the require
ments of the situation," and in
timates that it should have cou
tained a pronouncement in favor of
a full territorial form of govern
ment for Alaska. As this is the
only objection raised to the plat
form of the delegate, it is presum
ed that the other planks are satis
factory.
Delegate Wickersham has given
no intimation as to whether or not
he is in favor of a full territorial I
government for Alaska, with all the
privileges and obligations entailed i
that form of government, but we J
presume he views the project in the
same light as do others of our
citizens who have devoted any
thought to tho subject. In the
first place. It is not likely that con
gress will be induced to grant a
greater measure of self-government
over so large a territory to the
small number of inhabitants now
located here, and it there were any
possibility of 6Uch action boing
taken, there are many reasons why
the inhabitants of tho territory
should object. With all duo respect
to the statement made by the present
governor of the territory that "the
present territorial government is :i
delusion and a snare," it has not
been pointed out as yet how ex
tension of its powers ard liabili
tieswould help matters. There
seems to be no overwhelming de
maud, for instance, that the people
of this territory shall tr.ko up the
burden of the administration of jus
tice over this territory, with a new
system of judicial and peace officers.
Granting that the present system
is unsatisfactory, it is not obvious
where it could be remedied by an
increase of obligations and conse
quent increased taxation on the com
paratively few inhabitants.
It the above objectiou is the only
or.o that can bo urggd against the
platform of the delegate why not
give it ungrudging indorsement?
MOST COMPLETE ALASKA
HISTORY IX EXISTENCE
Aslimun Brown, in a special to
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
pays that some day in the dim
and distant future when a student
in the University of Alaska is re
quired to write a thesis on thei
early history of Alaska all he
will have to do will be to step
across the campus into the Wick
ersham historical library to ob
tain all the source material neces
sary.
Perhaps Delegate Jame3 Wick
ersham has this possible student,
possible university and possible
library in mind—he does not say
—but for whatever reason he is
building up the best and most
complete Alaska historical col
lection that has ever bee;: brought
together. It is altogether prob
able that no 6uch thorough work
on these lines ever before was
done for a western state \or ter
ritory. Certainly it was not done
for Washington.
The collection began with
every government document on
Alaska ever printed. Some 2,000
titles under this class were
brought together, bound uni
formly and properly indexed.
The services of an expert librar
ian of long experience in the
library of congress were secured
to help in this.
Then lold book stores in Wash
ington, New York, Chicago and
other cities were ransacked for
books and publications treating
of Alaska, Hundreds of these
were brought together. Delegate
Wickersham had agents in Eu
rope also hunt up Alaska material.
From Russia he not loug ago re
ceived a cousignmcnt of ancient
tomes, as early Russian reports
on tho , Territory, containing
hundreds of beautifully engraved
Russian charts of Alaskan waters,
surprisingly accurate as shown
by comparison with, coast and
geodetic survey charts. These
publications are more than, a
century old, but are perfectly
preserved.
Historical documents, some
origiual and some facsimile, have
also been added. One of these
reached Delegate Wlckershani
recently from Chicago. It is a
photographic copy of the origi
nal warrant signed by President
Andrew Johnson, authorizing
Secretary Seward to deliver to
tho representative of the czar
the purchase price of Alaska.
The original some years ago
was thrown out of the treasury
department as waste paper. A
collector in Washington secured
possession of it aud sold it to a
Chicago collector for $125. Oiie
of Delegate Wickresham's agents
heard of the transaction and
traced the present owner, who
declined to sell, but was willing
to have a photographii copy
made.
Every important document con
nected with the transfer of the
territory by Russia to the I'nited
States has been secured by Dele
gate 'U'ickersham either in origi
nal or in authenticated copy.

I had to bo very careful to ha\ e my clothing

"Then I read tho advertisement of Cuti

sample and got it. To my surprise I was
reeling relief after tho second application.
So I got a cako of Cuticura Soap and a fifty
cent box of Cuticura Ointment and when I
had used them I was nearly over tho itching,
so I got another box and that healed it
all up so it looked smooth and fine, but I
kept on with tho Cuticura Soap for six weeks
and thocure was complete." (Signed) S. O.
