SHOUP APPOINTS
MILLER TO FILL
KETCHIKAN POST
Oldtime Alaskan, Recently
Residing at Seattle, Nam
ed to Maltby s Place.
Charles 11. Miller, a well-known
Alaskan, who has been practicing
law in Seattle In recent years, was
today appointed Assistant l nitei^
States Attorney, of the First Divi
sion, to succeed the late A.K. Maltbv.
He reached Juneau on the Princess
Mary Tuesday and, after a confer
ence today with United States At
torney Shotip, accepted the tender of
the appointment and will qualify at
once. Ills headquarters will be at
Ketchikan.
Mr Miller came to Alaska in his
youth in 1897 and went over the
Dyea trail to Dawson in the Klon
dike stampede and was in Nome in
the heyday of prosperity of that
camp. Subsequently he was actively
engaged in mining enterprises in the
KuskoKwim and Iditarod regions
His acquaintance extends throughout
the Territory.
During the World War he was an
instructor in the. aviation school at
San Francisco.
As a member of the Seattle bar
lie holds high rank and in 1916 re
ceived a vote of 22,000 as a candi
date for Superior Court Judge. In
the primary race for mayor last
spring he was a formidable! contest
ant, being supported strongly by Al
askans in Seattle and the conserva
tive element of the electorate.
Mr. Miller's availability for a
Judgeship of one of the Territorial
divisions was favorably considered
in 1921 and he would doubtless have
been chosen had he then been an
actual resident of Alaska.
He is in the curly forties and a
man of family and has an attractive
personality. The pecuniary sacrifice
involved in accepting the post lie
says, is more than offset by the op
portunity given him again to live in
Alaska and be identified with Alas
kan affairs.
He was president of the Yukon
Order of Pioneers In 1920.
