"Carpetbagger" is not a euphoni
ous word ill Alaska at the present
tiiui\ The suggestion that possibly
it might lio necessary for the admin
istration to appoint a man (or Gov
ernor of tin' Territory who is not a
bona fide resident, does not meet
with much favor. Everywhere is a
protesting thought. and in many
places action has been taken that
would tend to disapprove to the mind
if ii ,d! uistration at Washington

may se.-m to exist there appears to

able to an outsider.
The friends of numerous candi
dates have tried to make it appear

feud that would tend to disrupt the
body ;>olit.' of the Territory. This,
of course, ij u grossly exaggerated
view and has no foundation in fact.
From every section of Alaska, from
every Wickersham and every Haz
i • nghold. there h:is been what
was practically an unanimous re
Maest that the President to not ap
point a • carpetbagger."
There is now a general disposition
i> taboo even the word and reports
iialicate that "carpetbaggers' are in
bad repute and are being consign
ed to the ash heap or burned in ef

of _ itht-rini; all the old "carpetbags"
ami making a bon fire of them,
in protest to the thought of send

New Klondike
Strike Report
Received Here
A strike reported to be another
"Klondike" caused more than a rip-'
pie of excitement an the streets to
day. According to the story, two men
arrived from Skagway recently with
$6,000 in gold dnst. from near the
headwaters of the liig Salmon river,
northeast of Whitehorse. The dust
is said to have been washed out in
one week from ground averaging
from three feet to ten feet to bed
rock.
It is claimed that the two men
came to Juneau to get two former
friends and partners, and that the
latter will quit their jobs and that all
four will return to Skagwav on the
next boat.
One party claimed to have seen the
gold and said that it was coarse,
running from one cent to one dol
lar.
It is said that the men leave the
main route of travel at Carcross,
Canadian Yukon, and proceed along
the courses of the Big and Little
Salmon rivers in the direction of
Quiet lake.
Inquiry revealed the fact that no
large amount of gold has reached
the banks during the past few days.

New Companies Coming
A syndicate has been organized
in New York, known at the Spotted
Fawn company and will spend in the
neighborhood of $ 150.000 in the de
velopment of the Twelvemile silver
proposition near Dawson this sum
mer. This property is well known
and the new company will thorough
ly prospect the claims and install
modern machinery for its develop
ment.
F. \V. Bradley, well known Juneau
and Coeur d'Aleue mining man has
an agent at present in Dawson and is
understood to have secured options
on some important claims in the
Mayo district.
F. P. Burrall recently visited the
Mayo district in the interests of the
American (ioldfields company, a
branch of the South African Gold
Fields company. It is understood
that he secured a number of options
on the most promising properties in
| the district.
Besides t lie above it is reported
■ that a number of English companies
are coining into tiie territory this

Is usually termed Hants. Officially,
Hants is always known by the
name of the County of Southampton.
Bradford-hy-the-Sen is another name -J

Sitka Home Is Badly Managed Is.
Report Of Legislative Committee
Business management by thei
the present board of trustees of the
Sitka Home, consisting of Allen
Shall uck. U . W. Casey and Gover
nor Kigcs. is severely criticized and i
brauded as "deplorable" in the re-1
port of the legislative committee
that investigated the conditions and j
management of the Pioneers' Home!
at Sitka.
The report, presented to the Sen
ate and House of Representatives
tliis morning. signed by Sena tots I
lless and Jftilit. and Representative '
Brown. Frame and Rickerl, alsiJ
charges Harry F. Morton, the pres
ent superintendent, as being la* in I
his handling of the institution's fi
nances. insofar as the forwarding
of vouchers for expenses is concern
ed.
Food and bedding at (lie institu
tion an reported to be good, but the
sanitary, ventilation and heating
systems are censured.
i The Investigating committee fur
I ther recommends that a physician be
I appointed as the Head of the Home.
I Report was referred to committee
| and will coiiie up for discussion at
11a. in. tomorrow.
Folli ving, in lirief, is an outline
of the committee's report:
i'I<>m:i:ks' iiomk m:t»oisr
The location of t!"e hospital is too
near noises on the street.
it was constructed so as In in
crease cost and lessen space.
The inmate and laundry rooms
I are fairly finished.
Three iiremon, at expense of iluu
I per inonth each, are employed at
work I hat could he done by inmates
at such chcaper cost. >
1 A lire escape should be provided
for the hospital.
| Partitions should be erected in
I the sleeping rooms.
The heating and lighting of the,
j hospital is very good, but the super
intendent's house is heated by a
large marine boiler at great expense.
Inmates of the Home seem well
cared for: beds are clean and the
food is good.
Capable men are admitted to the
institution, is ilaiin made liv some
inmates.
In the judgment of tlie committee
tlie system employed by the board of
trustees is most unbusinesslike.
Tim superintendent exercises ah
soluie eoutrol of business without
any limit to expenses.
He is given a free hand to incur
debts to any amount, provided
i vouchers arc forwarded.
The forwarding vouchers have
been neglected in several instances.
Allen Shaltuck. member of the
board of trustees, admits charges
| that no vouchers have been received
for bills long overdue.
The superintendent is under no
bonds.
Money left hv the deceased in
mates has not been used to pay bur
ial expenses as should be done, is
charge made by inmates.
Edward Ludeke left money to pay
for funeral, but undertaker is still
awaiting for payment of the bill.
New floors should be put into the
dormitory: new sanitary facilities
are necessary.
Improvement of ventilation is ur
gent need: wheel chairs should be
provided.
Dishes used are unsanitary and
unfit for use.
It would be advantageous to ap
point a physician as superintendent
of the Home to inspect conditions
every day.
The heating system of the Home
and superintendent's house need
overhauling.
The business conduct of the in
stitution is deplorable. "
The business mauagement of the
board of trustees and of the super
intendent are open to severe criti
cism.
The board'left virtually all con
trol to the superintendent, ail officer
unknown to the law.
The £>2 graves M the cemetary
are marked by rnde wooden slabs.
Marble headstones should mark
I lie graves of the pioneers.
Atlin Inn Be
* ing Enlarged
Last fall the White Pass Company
pun tased the building and lots next
lo their hoiel at Atlin and shipped
lumber there lo be ready for an ear
ly start this spring on the proposed
addition to the inn.
The carpenters arrived from the
outside this week and work will be
rushed on the new wing so as to
have it in readiness l'or the first
tot: rists.
The heavy tourist travel last year
proved that the present hotel was
not nearly large enough, so in order
to accomodate the rush this year
tltis new addition is being built. The
lower door will form a well appoint
ed billiard rooin with two stories of
rooms above.
The present inn at Atlin reflects
great credit on the company, and all
who visit it are greatly pleased with
t!.e e.vivlleiil accomodations and sur
prised to find, in the far north, such
an up-to-date pjlaco as it is.
The lounge room of the present
inn is all that could be desired by
the most fastidious and now, with
the added attraction of a first class
billiard parlor, the traveller who is
fortunate enough to visit Atlin Inn
will indeed find comfort and pleas
ure.—AVhitehorse Star.
