M. F. Miller, Candi
date for Representa
tive in Legislature
To Whom It, May Concern, and Espe
cially to the Voters of Mourn Mc
Kinley Precincttl
That every voter should know as
much as possible of all candidates, in
my belief, is a positive duty. To fa
cilitate such investigation of myself—a
candidate for Territorial Representa
tive— is the purpose of this communi
sm n.
I came into Dawson with the early
rush, coming by way of (Jhilkoot, and
remained there till the fall of 1902,
when I followed the Niziua stampede,
spending the winter of 1902 tit Valdez,
going into the Nizina country the fol
lowing spring, and there prospected
and mined during the ensuing summer.
The fall of 1903. was spent in the hills
towards the head of White river, later
making the trip down the rivers to the
coast and up to Valdez again. L' rom
there 1 went to Seattle and. at the
earnest solicitation of my folks, tried
the Outside for a year, working under
tue engineer’s department in that city.
But the call of the North was too
strong, and the spring of 1905 again
found me headed for Dawson. Re
mained at the latter place during that
summer, and in the fall made the trip
over the ice to Circle City, in the in -
terests of Charles Laimb and Clarence
Berry, remaining with them for a
number of years, principally in the
capacity of executive, and later quit
them to engage in mining for myself.
Two years after tnat found me in the
Bair hanks country, from which the
Toiovaua section was visited, where
prospecting was followed for another
year, and afterwards came my appoint
ment as Deputy U. S. Marshal.
While holding this latter position
nay money went towards prospecting.
If success means the accumulation of
vast sums of money, I would be deemed
a failure; but, my belief is that money
means success only in the proportion
that it is the means of procuring hap
piness. A candidate knows in his own
heart, and he alone, whether he is
morally fit for the office he seeks, and
I can truthfully say, on that score, that
1 believe l am. As to my other quali
fications, you must be the judges.
If elected to the office to which I
aspire 1 will fulfill my duties as a man
and citizen and, it is my earnest, hope,
to the complete justification of your
support.
I am an Alaskan. This is the only
home I have. My interests are all
here, and it naturally follows that I am
vitally interested in anything that will,
tend to benefit this Territory.
In every section where I have been '
have worked for the one thing that is
of vital necessity to the full develop
ment of any pioneer country, and that
is roads and trails, and have always
tried to better the mail service. I
realize that our powers are limited,
but no one, or oo section, ever gets

that time have fa-eri engaged in pros

On the steamer Starr, recently,'there
was shipped from Seward a small but

signed to St. Paul island, in the Fribi

signed to the operator of the wireless
