Under the apportionment, of dele
gates to the Republican territorial
convention which will be held in
Ketchikan May 12 of this year, 50
delegates are allotted to each judicial
division. In the Third 20 are given
to the southern, or coast end. Of
these Valdez gets G. The remainder
aro apportioned as follows: Seward
3, Orca 2, Latouche 1, Ellamar 1,
Katalla 1, Copper Center 1, Sunrise 1,
Ivnik I, Seldovia 1, Kodiak 1, Una
laska 1.
I'riniarics m the precincts for the
election of delegates are to be held
not earlier than March 10, but may be
held later when notice cannot be
given for that date.
C. (i. W'lilff of Valdez, secretary of
the territorial committee, is sending
out copies of the call together with
copies of the plan of party organiza
tion adopted by the Juneau conven
tion in November.
The Ketchikan convention is to
nominate a candidate for delegate to
congress, to run in the August elec
tion; and elect two delegates to the
national convention.
Communicated.
Some one remarked lately "A man
cannot got in at the Good Samaritan
Hospital unless lie can pay the price,"
The man was ignorant of the facts.
That the the public may know the
facts, we publish them in the case of
Roger Meehan, the last instance of
the hospital's free service. When an
ofllcer of the hospital was taken to
see Meehan, who was in a desperate
state, and told "he is without friends
and money,"there was no debate, but
an instant order that he should he
taken to the hospitaj to try and save
his lif«. When there, extra service
was needed, and a night watch was
hired. When he died the hospital, in
the person of one of its oilicers, be
came responsible for his decent burial,
and assumed the task of begging
money (a job which is not altogether
pleasant, but which is made so by the
willing and generous response of Val
dez, people). Our doctors, for human
ity's*sakc, give their services in time
of need, and the hospital stands with
them to second and support them. A
hospital must have money to pay its
bills, and the natural parties to sup
ply (his money are the patients them
selves, or their friends. Whenever
the hospital earns a penny in excess
of its expenses, such earnings go in
to repairs and improvements. The sal
aries of nurses are paid from New York
so that tho hopsital has never had to
earn its largest one item of expense.
Such service as was given to Mee
han no money eoidd compensate.
Nothing but Ghrlstain consecration
jind human sympathy would induce a
doctor and a lady to do for him what
was done during his few days rest at
the Good Samaritan. This ease of
charity cost, tho hospital very little,
but there has recently been dis
charged a man whose bill shoidd be
$225.00»who paid nothing for services
and board.

Tom Parker returned to Valdez on
the Bertha.
Bertha From
the Iliamna
Steamer Bertha arrived from the
west this morning at 9 o'clock, hav
ing been as far as Iliamna. She took
several large mining outfits to the
Iiiamna country, whose mineral pos
sibilities are highly encouraging, and
are now being developed.
One of the groat properties of that
district is on Lake Clark. A mining
engineer named Code, in his younger
days known in sporting circles as
Stanford university's star quarter
back, visited the district last summer
and acquired a slice of the big bonan
za. During the winter he bonded a
majority interest in the property**to
thh Toadwell people, who will thor
oughly exploit the big copper deposit
next season, and if they are satisfied
with t he results obtained, will put in
a railroad to transport the ore to the
coast.
C. B. Millet, Harry Hicks and other
Iliamna men now in Valdez, are con
vinced, after several years' spent in
that region, that the Iliamna country
will rapidly forge to the front as one
of the big producers of Alaska. The
mineral is there in its native state,
they say. Much has been found and
located, and the country has been
scarcely scratched. All that is now
needed is capital to develop these
; self-evident mines.

tive of iron from rust, and is exten

covering prevents all corrosion. It is
also being used in wcoden or mason
