The Dispatch says: “Judge (Jun-i
nison had a very satisfactory term
of court at Valdez. He disposed
of every case on the docket and
no important litigation was put
over until the next term.” This
will be news to the people of
Valdez.

The newspaper business in
Wrangell must be strenuous, judg
ing from the following extract from
the Sentinel: “Watchman Smith
was over from the cannery Mon
day, looking for trouble ns usual,
and when lie tackeled the Sentinel
office he got a hat in the eye which
will lav him up for a month.”
According to a recent decision of
Judge Wickersham iip owner of a
placer claim owns all of the timber
thereon and anyone taking tim
ber from the said property is liable
for treble the value of the wood.
The decision arose in the case of
.McQuillan vs. Tanaua Electric Co.,
at Fairbanks.
i Delegate Cale in a letter to the
people of Southeastern Alaska says:
! “Now as the election is over and
.the voters of Alaska have declared
in favor of Mr. Waskey anil m>
,seli 1 earnestly and sfticerely ask
• that the peopie of Alaska will for
get any and all prejudices that
,may have been engendered in the
campaign and give me their advice
and views on all questions pertain
ing to Alaska, and I particularly
ask them to give me their views as
. to the wants and needs of .South
eastern Alaska.”
The Ketchikan Mining Journal!
.advocates establishing an appelate |
court in Alaska to he composed ot
,the judges from the three judicial
divisions, claiming that it would :
be a great convenience and saving
■ to litigants. Where the saving
would conic in is a question. It ;
would make just one more coint^
for appeals to go through, and add
to the expense. It is not likely
that a judge would reverse his own
decision, nor is_. it likely that hL
associates would reverse his ruling
lor the reason that their decisions
would come before him for adjud
ication. Such a court has lieen i
tried in Arizona and was the
source of many complaints.
< Judging from the following
extract-from the Juneau Record
M iner that town must still have
the problem of regulating the;
sporting element on hand:
“Itching for patronage, under Uj
cloak of respectability padded by
boodle of graft and blackmail, at
tacks may he made in the public j
press upon the unfortunates who
have no recourse for libel; but the
sense of fairness in everv man and
-
woman will re-con the parable and
bid “he who is without sin among
you, cast the first stone.” A com
munity- is no better than the peo
ple who compose it, and the social
status is a result of consent. If,
persons of a certain stripe are per- j
milted in a community, they are'
entitled to the protection of the
law, and cannot be subjected to
being kicked and cuffed from pillar
to post without due process of law.!
He who undertakes the job of isolat
ing the socially impure will lind
difficulty in most communities in
m iking a righteous selection. The
woman of easy virtue is as good as
those who sup-, ort her.”
Cordova, says the Alaskan, is
*oon to have a newspaper devoid
of sensationalism and free from the
stigmar-of yellow journalism
Gold, silver, copper tin. bismuth,
platinum, coal, marble, gypsum,
oil—all contained in Alaska—the
territory which was given the sob
riquet of “Seward’s Folly” a gener
ation ago. Time and again the
apparently foolish things of the
world have confounded the wise:
The purchase of Alaska justifies
itself daily by the output from her
mines.—Koston Alaskan.
Twenty-four newspapers, a
magazine and a missionary paper
are published in Alaska.
At the Ninth Annual Session of
the American Mining Congress
which met at Denver Oct. 16 ts 19,
Hon. J. T. C'ornforth, of Alaska,
delivered an address on Mining in
in Alaska.
The Treadwell mine will use oil
for fuel in the near future.
