ROBERT .W.JENNINGS
For Delegate From Alaska
1 Ho has lived in Alaska for
14 years—Ecvon of those years
in Juneau. Nono have que3tion
ed or can question his ability or
industry. If you do not holieve
this, writo to Juneau.
2 In tho pursuit of his profes
sion he has been called to nearly
every portion of tho Torritory,
and he is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of Alaska.
3 He hng no grievances to air,
no axe to grind, and is free to

fonnl likes or dislikes.
i lie is not connected, in nny
•vuy, with corporntions or other
persons seeking favors from the
government. While he has ever
been the friend and attorney of
the laborer and the poor man, yet
he is no blatant demagogue,
seeking to array class against
class. He believes in "Equal
rights for all, and special priv
ileges for none."
5 He is in political harmony
with tho dominant party in tho
present House of Representa
tive-, and with what will be the
dominant party of the nation for
tho next four years, and .so, will
be tetter able to get things for
Alaska than would a socialist or
a icpudlican (bo ho a standpat
ter or an independent republi
can.) What Alaska wants, it
wants now. We cannot wait for
tho socialist millenium.

noise come.
"I found the reason for that is
their wonderful faith in the ability
of a white man to perform mir
acles. They think a white man
can do anything, and they never
question what he does.
"These natives suffer great in
justice by their dealings with a
commercial company for the sale
of their furs. The result of last
year's hunting, which produced
210 fox skins of various sorts, di
vided among the population, gave
each but an average of $18 for
his work.
"For instance, the natives get
about §25 for a silver gray fox
skin. On the market here they
fetch from 350 to $300 each. A
black fox is worth $i0 to the na
tive, and brings from $250 to $300
on the market here. Black fox
pelts in prime condition have
brought as much as $2,000. White
Fox brings tho native $1.50, and
is worth $9 outside. Red and
crossed skins are worth $3 on the
Atka island and from $12 to $20'
outside.
"Last winter wo divided the
hunting forces. Half of the men
I sent to Kanaga and Tanaga and
Adak islands, under Chief Surguo?
Gollic. They were lo have boon
gone a nionlh or a lttlle while
more, and promised lo ho hack hy

Collie reported back lo me.
"The man bad lain for two
weeks without any food but sea
gulls, on a nearby island, unable
to cross the straits because of
storms. The last few days their
powder gave out and they chewed
the lining of their bidarkas and
made tea of grass.
"For that labor they get a few
miserable dollars and gave in ex
change skins that are worth many
hundreds."
Atka island is about. 30 miles
long and five miles wide. There'
is an active volcano upon it and
earthquakes are frequent. The
weather consists of perpetual rain
and snow, principally rain, with
high wind storms. Not even drift
wood comes to its beaches and the
natives live in sod houses.
When their first child was born
lo Mr. and Mrs. Sellers there was
a terrific storm raging and no
woman to attend the mother. For
nine months last year they were
obliged to keep an Aleut boy, who
had committed murder, a prisoner
at their house until the revenue
cutter could come for him.
