Washington, April 21. Discussing
charges that an executive . order
signed by President Taft opening to
entry certain lands in the Chugach
national forest has given the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate as abso
lute control of the Alaska aoal lands
as would the patenting of the Cun
ningham claims, and the La Follette
resolution asking an investigation of
the entries under the order, Delegate
in Congress James Wickersham, of
Alaska, today gave the tallowing
statement to the United Press:
(Copyright, 19.11, by the United
Press Asosclatlon.
(By Delegate Jamea Wickersham, of
Alaska.)
There are two possible outlets
from the Buhriug river coal fields,
wherein the so-called Cunningham
property is located. The first, for
several monthes, has been controlled
by the Guggenhelms. It comprises a
90-mlle haul around the bay to Cor
dova bay over a railroad the Gug
genhelms own. The other is thnough
Controller bay, reached over the
lands secured by the same Interests,
over tha president's order of October
last. If the Investigation demanded
by the LaFollette reaaluton discloses
what is generally believed that
both routes are owned by the Alaska
syndicate that syndicate has been
placed in exclusive control of the
only railroads and the only harbors
over which th coal from this field
can reach the markets.
Such a monopoly would be more
valuable than the Cunningham
group itself, since it would control
the marketing of all coal and. fix the
rates of transportation and the price
to the consumer.
On October 12, 1910, the president
withdrew 12,800 acres of land, com
manding an outlet on Controller bay,
from the Chugach forest reserve.
This land was immediately claimed
by those interested In ,the Controller
Bay railnoad. In the last hours of
the session, congress, on March 4,
passed an act giving the Controller
Bay railroad a right of way through

not that of Kozer that descended
upon the neck of Throne.' There
were reasons, of course, for its de
scending and a Portland morning
paper famed for its polite and inof
fensive language and for the indefin
ite terms in which it can couch an
idea, says that Throne was guilty of
"making Indiscreet remarks." That
like charity covers a multitude of
sins and It would naturally be of In
terest to know lust what those re
marks were and here they are as
heard by a politician In the last cam
paign. West Remembered.
It will be remembered that last
fall Oswald West ran for governor,
and incidentally, despite the predic
tions of political sages to the con
trary; that he ran hard enough to be
elected by an overwhelming and
crushing majority pitifully crushing
to some. Clerk Throne is from
RoBeburg and being interested in
political affairs as all clerks in the
state house are they have a falling
along that line is said to have re
marked in that flower named city
that Governor West -was not straight
not alluding to him physically but
politically, and as the politician re
members it, the word used was
"crooked." A similar remark was
made in relation to his administra
tion as a political offical-; It is 'said,
and believing that West would be
elected and that the time might come
when those aforesaid remarks might
be of Interest and of use to him, the
said politician put them down in his
little red book, so that he would not
forget them. After West was elected
he read that little book and, among
the other Items found, was that one
and he carried it in his memory un
til the other day when It Is said that
Throne was requested to resign
Then he forgot it because he cannot
afford to waste memory energy in
storing it up longer for there are
too many others that he must carr;
In his mind.
Thud Hcurd I'pslairs.
Now the office of the insurance de
partment Is located down on the
first floor and the office of secretary
of state Is located upstairs Just the
floor above, and while the falling of
the gilded ax was gentle, the thud
was clearly heard in this latter of
fice. It was distinctly heard by all
the deputies and clerks who served
under the late Secretary of State
Benson and who are now doing tem
porary time under Secretary of State
Olcott, Governor West's former cam
paign manager and his appointee.
In addition to being heard It revived
in their memory the fact that they
also as the Portland morning paper
puts it were guilty at divers, times in
the past of "making Indiscreet re
marks" and as if in a dream they
saw visions such as a turkey has
about Thanksgiving time.
When Olcott was appointed secre
tary of state a humble ."dopster" pre
dicted that there would be a clean
ing out In- that office and that they
would all come out of it like rats
from a sinking ship, and he still
clings fervently to that prediction;
and it may be that those who pro
nounced the predictions "fit for the
discard" can see a light In the case
of Throne which will give them a
clearer vision of what Is to transpire
In time in the guillotine line in the
office of secretary of state.
