J. C. McBride Would

Valdez Miner.
A movement having for its purpose
the colonizing of live hundred families
of farmers along the Government rail
road between Seward and Fairbanks
was launched by J. C. McBride, re
publican national committeeman, this
week in Juneau, according to C. J_
Lincke, who passed through Seward en
route to Anchorage, and who was news
editor of the Daily Capital of Juneau
during the republican campaign.
The plan as outlined by Mr. McBride
calls for the bringing in &t the settlers
at Government expense, supplying
them with implements and livestock
and a credit of $10,000. with 20 years
in which to liquidate.
"You may tell the people of the
southwest,” said Mr. McBride, “that
we are behind this movement with all
our energy. The railroad will soon be
completed, and by raising the food
stuffs needed.in Alaska it will enable
other big enterprises to be established.
Before the road is completed there will
have been expended six&v odd- millions
of dollars, and we*want the eaterprises
as well a^-thfccoal mines being, devel
oped by the Government to be vindi
cated and made a. real benefit to the
country..-—*- —
"A memorial, .fathered by Herman
Tripp, republican, will be presented to
ihe Legislature, which will in turn
memorialize Congress. To give the
entire matter impetus it is Mr. Mc
Bride's request that every community
in Southwestern Alaska and the In
terior bold mass meetings, pass resolu
tions and send them to him at Juneau,
so as to have a solid phalanx of senti
ment behind Delegate Dan Sutherland
when he brings the matter before the
representatives and senators at Wash
ington.

neau to Seward indicate a strong sen
timent for Hazlet for governor,” con
tinued Mr. Lincke, “’and the action of
the Juneau Republican Club in naming
a slate containing only the names of
Juneau residents for public office has
served to swerve public sentiment in
Southeastern Alaska to Mr. Hazelet.
‘‘From reports from the Outside and
the general atmosphere of expectancy,
I look for one of the greatest booms
this year the Territory has seen since
the gold rush,” concluded Mr. Lincke.
Following the seizure of 200 marten
and 699 beaver pelts about a year ago,
Peter Yachon, accused of sending the
furs through the Tolovana postoflice as
parcel matier, was acquitted of the
charge, the attorney general at Wash
ington ruling that the mail service is
cot a common carrier. The furs are
still held and have depreciated $30,000
in value.

coinage has just been inaugurated in
the United Kingdom. New sixpences,
