NOT SURPRISES
Say* He Knew That the Head* of Re
publican Officeholders Hanging
by Slender Thread.
United States District Attorney
YY'alker returned to Y'aldez this morn
ing on the Northwestern from Juneau.
The judge admitted that he has sent
in his resignation to Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds and that upon the
arrival of his successor he will leave
Y'aldez for a trip to Chicago.
In speaking of his removal Judge
YY'alker stated that it was the for
tunes of politics, and being a Repub
lican officeholder under a Democratic
administration, coupled with the fact
that the government will spend many
milions of dollars in this division in
the next few years, it is but natural
that some one close to the adminis
tration and of the same political faith
should represent the government as
district attorney here.
Judge YY'alker will leave Y'aldez
shortly after the arrival of fhis suc
cessor for a visit with relatives in
Chicago. Dick YY'alker, a son, who
was formerly in Y'aldez, is now locat
ed in the windy city.
