Tacotna's Independ

Territorial Legislature
Tacotna, June' 2*.—John E. Baker,
Tacotna’s independent candidate fop
the 'Territorial legislature, is a pio
neer Alaskan. Coming over the White
Pass ia 189'7,' after spending a ffew
months in the Dawson country, he
sanie on down to the Fortymile, spend
ing most of the summer1 and fall pros
pecting on tributaries of that stream.
That same fall and winter he entered
the 'employ of the old A. C. Company
at the Foriymilfe station, at that time
the pleading firrri ita the interior of
Alaska, and in later years known as
the northern Commercial Company.
Mr. Baker, a little later, was sent to
the 'station at Eagle, at which place ho
was located when the Fairbanks stam
pede took place.1 During the winter of
m? Mr. Baker was sent by his com
pany over to the Fairbanks camp to
investigate the possibilities for future
business in that’lOeallty. On this trip
Lie took ia e^erV prospect hole he could
nod* io the Fairbanks district, bis re
port resulting Ifi the company making
heavy shipments Of machinery, boilers
and merchandise of all kinds. ;beibg
American goods shipped in bond, he’d
at Dawson over winter, and shipped to
she new camp early the following sea
son.
After being in Fairbanks one year
with the same comptiDV be was sent
up the Tanana river during the sum
tn er of A9Q5 to look over that section
with the view of starting newvposts.
He made this trip in & canoe, and on
his way back iocdtfed a Site for a new
station at the Laltle Delta, later named
she’ Washburn post This place he
built and bad the mabagement of for
she company for two years, and later
built another post at Uicbardson, ion
She’Tanana. The summer of 1908 was
spent Id the Innoko section, from which
he returned to the Tanana river, beiDg
ocated at the Hot Sprmgs post of the
courtpany in the fall of 1908;
During the winter of 1909-10 Mr.
Baker was traveling continually for
She'N. C. Company, finally winding up
at the old station of Boerner, on the
Tacotna river, since moved to Tacotna
and McGrath. Three years ago ho
built the McGrath station for the com
pany.
At the present time Mr. Baker is im
proving the homestead that he has
taken up, adjoining Tacotna, where he

ever, is as strong as ever in the old
seout, and one will always End him well
supplied with guns, ammunition, fish
ing tackle, can vas and boats, ready to
go anywhere and at any time, and, to
3ay the least., he well knows how to
make good use of all this gear. No
9trean: in Alaska has him buffaloed, so
far as known. And he does not depend
on “gae,‘ either—just the good, old
fashioned paddle and pikepole, and he
will get there easily. A natural fron
tiersman and a sturdy pioneer and,
without doubt, one of the best posted
men on the interim of Alaska and its
needs that we have in the North.
We of tiie Mt. McKinley and Innoko
districts have good reason to be proud
of our candidate, and we sincerely ask
the rest of the voters of the Fourth di
vision for their support and help us to
elect John E. Baker, and at, the same
time give us some ! representation at
Juneau.
Having never had' a representative
elected to the Legislature from these
two districts, now that we have a good
candidate- a man among men. a nat
ural Alaskan—let’s give him a whiff of
the salt air by sending him to Juneau.

Winchester, W. '''a;- The corner of
a Liberty bodd protruding from tho
door of a stove into which he was shov
eling coal, .'ecttb the discovery bv R.
A. Mitchell, railroad ageDt here, of
about 875,000'ia bohds concealed in the
station coal bin.
Some of the bonds- were registered in

loot secured from that institution when
it was burglarized in Mav, 1921.
□ Two-thirds of the bonds recovered
were registered, the aemainder being
railroad and industrial issues. Mit
chell said he had been scooping up
f‘PaFei’s’ with the coal for several
dafs, and he was speculating Wednes
day as to what may have been the in
trinsic cost of the station fire during
the recent cold spell.
