Of the recent investigation bv
Judge Day into the standing of
Judge Wickershatn in this com
munity, probably the less said the
better. It is now over and the in
vestigator has departed. While
be re he acted with fairness and
justice, receiving all who called on
bim with equal courtesy. His
words and actions prove him to be
a man capable of separating the
wheat from the chaff. There were
but few very who imagined they
had a grievance and they were not
slow in presenting it, but their
motive became just as clear to
Judge Day after a few moments
conversation as it has been to the
Residents of the town and to use a
pamp phrase ''every knock became
a Imost.” The greater part of
Judge Day’s time was taken up in
listening to the many who flocked
to the investigating chamber to
testify to the good standing and
just demeanor of Judge Wicker
sham while in our midst. They
were men of all standings in our
community on whom Judge Wick
ersham has conferred no particular
favor, but they went forward in
his defense believing him to he the
fight man in the right place and
before whom they would willingly
gubmit their differences and abide
by the decision, believing it to he
just. What the out come of ilia
investigation will he is problemati
cal. If the re-appointment is de
pendent on the report of Judge
Pay then it is safe to say that
Judge Wickershan will be rc-ap
poiutel but as is very often the
Case if the investigation was simply
3 blind to cover a premeditated
change then there is nothing that
could be done at this end of the
line to upset it.
Travel between Fairbanks and
Valdez will be much greater the
.coming season than ever before.
Fairbanks and vicinity now con
tain nuite a large population and
many of the operators must be in
the states at some time during the
winter. To leave at the latest
dates possible by way of the steam
er routes on the Yukon is too early
to suit their working opjiortunities.
as the claims can be operated all
winter and very few care to absent
themselves for a period of si* or
seven months. They are therefore
very likely to remain at the dig
gings and come out at will, espec
ially since they have learned from
last year’s experience that the trip
'can be made in 16 day or less, and
to go in next spring to any part of
the country will be a matter of no
difficulty whatever as by that time
all obstacles will be abridged by
the construction of the tramway
over the summit of the coast range
at Valdez.
Capt. R. E. Peary is preparing
to “make a dash” for the north
‘pole, by way of Greenland. He is
Snaking careful preparations, and
he believes that this time he will
accomplish the end for which many
brave hearts have struggled, only
be doomed to disappointment or
death. ('apt. Peaiy’s plan is to
establish relay stations at conven
ient distances, and when the hist
of these has lieen located and
stored with food and other sup
plies, to make the “dash” and
reacli the goal. To those who
have lived in the far North ('apt.
Peary’s plan will commend it-elf.
In fact, it is the only method bv
which the pole can lie reached, if
at all. But Capt. Pearv proposes
to make the final attempt with the
a d of Eskimos. In this, we think,
he errs. Ii the Greenland Eskimo
is of the same courageous caliber
and physical stamina as the Es
kimo of these regions. Capt. Peary
would better have a few of the
Alaskan inushers whom almost
anyone in Northwestern Alaska
could name from the list of their
acquaintances.
A more peaceable, quiet and well
behaved community than exists in
Valdez would be difficult to find
anywhere and it might be well to
leave existing conditions as they
are. Laws don’t change the moral
condition of anyone. This is at
[best hut a frontier town and the
first of the kind that many of us
have been into. It is useless for
us to endeavor to put on the airs
of a large, flourishing city. We
will come to it bye and bye anil
can adjust ourselves to the changes
as they occur.
