Court in November. This sounds j
good to the residents of Valdez,!
but it is rather a surprise to hear j
that Judge Gunnison will be pre*,
siding. It was generally supposed
that Judge Wickershain would
hold the next term here, but it is
probable that his political duties
in Washington preclude the possi
bility of attending to his duties
here.
Although the Northwestern
Steamship Co. is strictly within
the law in refusing to care for the
shipwrecked employees of the
Oregon the fact that it has done so'
has caused much unfavorable!
comment amongst patrons of the;
company. It would seem no more
than just for the company to caie
for its men until they reached
Seattle, when one considers the
good work done by them in mak-:
ing it comfortable for the passen- ]
gers of the wrecked l>oat and in!
getting them safely off the vessel.
Speakiug of the return of Judge
Wickersham to Fairbanks the
Times says: “His return in his
official capacity is unfortunate; j
unfortunate for himself as well as
for those who must perforce appear
before him. Doubt will be in
every mind, fear in many. Those
who have opposed him will dread
his knowledge of that fact; those
who have worked for him will try
to curry favor for that support,
given in many instances for no
other reason than selfish benefits,
which they expected to derive.”
It is announced by wire that
Judge Uunnison at 3:30 o'clock p.
m. on the afternoon of the Kith
inst drove the first spike in the
construction work of the Valdez
Yukon Railroad. The telegram
does not state whether or not he
“drove it home,” blit in all jiroba
bilitiy he has driven it about hall
wry and taken the the completion
of his job “under advisement.”—
Transcript.
When a boy breaks away from
the ties of home and makes his
way in the world, he is, when lie
gains recognition, heralded with
pride as a self-made man. As goes
the man so goes the nation. This
bit of philosophy is advanced on
account of the stock cry that is
heard from many that, “This ter
ritory is not yet ready for self
government.”—Fairbanks News
Exactly so. The >oung man 10
or 18 years of age is generally of
the opinion that he can run the
farm better than the old man and
when permitted to try his hand,
about the first thing he does is to
put a mortgage on it. Alaska is a
part of the old man’s farm and the
boys of Alaska are anxious to
“divide up” and secure title to
their part of the estate that they
may give a mortgage on it and
have a good time. All other ter
ritories have done the same thing,
hence the old man’s hesitancy
about granting territorial govern
ment.—Juneau Transcrp:.
The pian who did not have a
large shipment of goods on t ic
Oregon is a rarity in town now.
