THE MIXUP
AT CORDOVA
Uninitiated Cannot Understand
Why Boryer Was Not with
Regulars
The recent primaries hold a!
•.oidova for the election of dele
gates to the Republican territor
ial convention l<> be held at that
place on March 30 has caused
considerable mystification to the
uninitiated. The issue of the Cor
dova Alaskan containing an~ae
count <>f the primary election, be
yond slating that there were I wo
tickets in the field, does not throw
light on the situation.
The rumpus which followed the
denial oT I lie right of certain Re
publicans to vole at the primar
ies was caused by the refusal of
the judges lo permit those to vole
who would not sign an affidavit
that I hey had voted for Orr dur
ing last election.
The primaries were held by the
Republican organization, of which
Sam Ilium is district committee
man and K. I,, llarwood precinct
commit Iceman. There has been
an effort on the part of Republi
cans of Alaska who profess al
legiance In this organization to
eliminate Shackleford as territor
ial committeeman. He refuses to
be eliminated and may yet cap
ture the convention, as he has the
50 proxies from Nome solid for
him. The fact that Dr. Chase,
who voted the. Wiekershani Tick
et, acted as president and 11. J.
Boryer secrelary for the protest
ing primary does not mean that
there has been a fusion of the
Shackleford and Wiekershani in
terests. They sliM tow; each oth
er as the devil does holy water.
The Boryer faction, representing
the railroad, are at outs with
those who are at the bead of the
regular Republicans ami is work
ing for Shackleford. Republicans
who voted against Orr last elec
tion could not qualify and the
Boryer faction evidently would not
agree, to support the choice of
the convention for delegate,

MANY ALASKANS
JNJAPITOL
From All Parts of the North
and What They
Want
Mr. J. J. Underwood, who rep
resents I he Seattle Times aod a
syndicate of papers in the west,
reports many Alaskans in Wash
ington this winter; among them
Frank Kolash, of Nome, who is
seeking# a re-appointment as
^postmaster at that pJace. Wheth
er or not he has been successful
in his efforts has not yet been
determined, as his name has not
been sent to the senate. Ira Or
ton, also of Nome, was here for
.a few days, and shortly before
Christmas Albert Fink, another
former Nome attorney, was here.
Fink has a big practice in Ban
Francisco.
Governor Waller E. (Mark was
cabled here by the Secretary of
the Interior to consult on Alaskan
matters which may come up this
winter. He has recommended the
passage of sanitary, quarantine,
compulsory education, banking
and other minor laws, and it is
quite likely that bills along these
lines will be passed at this ses
sion. None of theni involve the
expenditure of money, so they
are Ifkely to get by the before
mentioned Cerebrus of the treas
ury.
Peter Olson, a Nome mail car
rier, spent i» couple of weeks in
the capital endeavoring to get tho
rivers and harbors committee to
recommend the passage of a law
that will allow him to sail an ice
breaking vessel from Dutch Har
bor to Nome, once a month dur
ing the period of ice and isola
tion. If Olsen is successful In
getting the desired permission,
his vessel, he claims, will keep
the Nome roadstead open all the
year through, and during tho
stimmer months the craft will be
engaged in whaling.
Falcon Joslyn, head of tho Tan- \
fina Mines rnilroad, is in Now
Vork, and is expected hero In a
veek or two. Joslin is interested i
in the creation of a string of wire
less 'telegraph stations that will
fceep the Iditarod and other set
tlements In Alaska in communi
3ation with Seattle all the year
through, irrespective of forest
llrcs or breaks in the telegraph j
lines or cables.
Maurice 1). Leehey, a Seattle at
Lorney, who is largely interested
in Alaskan initios, particularly in '
I he region of Seward, is expected
here next week.
William Piggolt, of Seattle, 1
head of the Alaskan Square Deal
League, has been in town a week,
and is interesting himself in '
Alaskan legislation. He leaves in
a few days for Panama, and prob
ably will return to the west by the
way of the Panama canal.
The one hbpeful thing about
the various boosters who are
working for Alaska this year, lies
in the fact that none of them
have special axes to grind, but all
are doing IJieir best to induce leg
islation that will benefit the ter
ritory, and consequently benefit
the entire Pacific coast.
