Alaska Notes
Gathered From Territorial
Exchanges.
The city of Anchorage, through its j
mayor and city council, a few days l
ago reached an agreement whereby,
the city purchases from the Federal
Government the entire telephone sys
tem and the complete electric light!
and power distribution system now;
serving the public in the city of An- i
chorage. The lines serving the Alaska
Railroad shops in the terminal yards
at the edge of the city are retained
by the railway. Outside of that one ;
exception, Anchorage takes over the
equipment and practically is now in1
complete charge. The consummation
of the deal was made by the accept
ance of the offer of the city to pur
chase the telephone, light and power
equipment for the sum of $22,351.47.1
A suit was file din Federal Court
at Juneau a few days ago wherein
William L. Paul seeeks to collect the
sum of $5,000 from the bondsmen of
U. S. Marshal Albert White, for the
alleged seizure of his printing plant,
The Alaskan, at Petersburg, last fall,
on an attachment sworn out by Hogue
Tveten, Petersburg business men.
Paul alleges irregularity in the in the
attachment, and has brought suit
against the marshal and his deputy,
C. V Brown, of Petersburg.
Paul recently brought suit for
$100,000 damages against Judge Jus
tin W. Harding, for alleged damages
when the judge found him ine on
tempt of court about four years ago.
Democratic organizations of two
Alaska divisions, the Second and
Third, have endorsed candidates for
various Territorial offices under the
new Democratic administration, both
divisional organizations giving sup
port to John W. Troy, of Juneau, pub
auj* -—
lisher of the Daily Empire, for the
Governorship of Alaska, and J. D.
Conners, of Juneau, for Collector of
Customs.
The Third division committee
adopted a resolution endorsing E. W.
Griffith, Kodiak business man and
former Interior Alaska merchant, for
Secretary of Alaska. Harry F. Mor
ton, of Anchorage, was recommended
for United States District Judge;
William Whittlesey, of Seward, for
United States District Attorney; J.J.
Todd, of Valdez, for United States
Marshal, with M. E. S. Brunelle, of
Cordova, as alternate choice.
In the Second division, Thomas
Gaffney was recommended for United
States Marshal; O. D. Cochran for
United States District Judge, and
Guy E. Mish for postmaster at Nome.
The Territorial Museum at Juneau,
reeflcting in its rare and varied col
lection the history of Alaska, both of
the aborigines and the white race, is
perhaps the most interesting place in
the Territory to visit. One of the
proofs of this is that during the year
just closed a total of 5,086 visitors
registered at the Museum.
Details of the death in a cabin near
Deering, Christmas day, of John
Hoyer and Leo Williams were made
known recently in Fairbanks by A. V.
Coi'odovado, manager of the Inma
ehuk Mining Company, for which the
two men were employed, on his ar
rival there by plane. The cabin was
occupied by Williams. He called
Hoyer in for a cup of tea while the
latter was on his way to a near-by
roadhouse. Williams habitually used
aviation gas and kerosene to get
quick fires, it is said, and almost al
ways had a can of gasoline alongside
the stove. On this occasion he picked
up a five-gallon can of aviation gas
and poured some directly from the
Can into the cookfire. An explosion
instantly resulted and both men are
believed to have been instantly killed.
The can, it is said, was about half
