AGAINST REMOVING THE COURT
i Message Sent to tlie Attorney-General

j ters of the Third Judicial Division,

j bled last night by Mayor Patterson
I to the attorney general :
“Valdez protests against transfer
j headquarters Third Judicial Division
i to Anchorage and asks hearing be
I given Valdez, Seward, Cordova and
i other towns stating facts showing
| transfer to Anchorage now would he
I ill-advised. Complete statements
mailed.
“U. S. Marshal estimates general
| nineteen sixteen court term would
have cost fifteen thousand dollars
more at Anchorage, which is near ex
treme northwest limit of population
ether than small camps. Nearly nil
civil court business arises elsewhere.
Permanent business interests much
larger in other parts of division thru
at Anchorage. Nearly half population
in Anchorage districts are railroad
workers on construction who will
leave when railroad completed. Many
small business houses will leave An
chorage with laborers. No just pre
diction can he made now of popula
tion or business in Anchorage distnet
two years hence.
“If region reached by government
railroad develops rapidly new judicial
‘division will be required there."

ALASKA FISH MEASURE
LEFT OFF THE BILL
WASHINGTON. D. C., March 14.
It has developed that the measure
to secure protection of halibut fisher
men of the North Pacific, attached to
the general revenue bill which has
passed the Senate, was abandoned be
cause of the clear intention of a ma
jority of the Senate members to pat s
the revenue measure without any
amendment. The Washington delega
tion will try to have it passed if a
special session of congress is called.
It’s the big Event! What? The Car
nival and Pure Food Show at Moose
Hall next Tuesday.

Foreign Charter Ruling ^
WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 14.—
To permit American merchant ships
now in South American waters to
bring cargoes on their return to the
United States, the Federal Shipping
Board has exempted them from
President Wilson’s proclamation for
bidding American owners to charter
ships to foreigners. Many American
ships in southern waters, it was e>
plained, would have to return empty
unless chartered by foreigners.
