If the Alaska delegate bill does
not become a law it will not be the
fault of Senator Nelson. He was
one of thcconfenes on the bill and

Cushman bill for his where there
• was a conflict between the two.
The amended bill has been favor
ably reported by the conference

The absence of ar.y court at Val-;
dez this winter has worked a hard
ship on the municipal government
in that it necessitates the payment
of interest on city warrants when j
there is money enough in the
hands of the clerk of the court to
take them nil up. There are at
present $1268 in warrants out
standing and the clerk of the dis
trict court has in his possession
$2680 belonging to the city.
Still no report from the judici
ary committee of the senate on the
confirmation of Judge Wickersharn
the News to the contrary notwith
standing. __

Wanted Information
The deputy marshal and the
commissioner of a place, certain or
uncertain, where the day is and the
night also comes and where the
mountains kiss the clouds, and the
salmon lives, and where the stur
geon leaps not, being filled
with holy reverence for their mis
tress, the law, being desirous that
fees should not be few and far be
tween, caused to be brought before
the judicial person of the commis
sioner a lone, husky Swede, who
was charged with looking upon
the wine when it was red, the beer
when it was amber, the eggnog
when it was golden and other
liquids when they were various
colored, until his lofty brain was
impregnated with the thought that
he could climb the circumambient,
kick holes in the solar system,
pluck stars from their appointed
places and pack three sacks of oats
at once.
The Swede stood before the bar
of justice and wished that it was
such a bar where he might partake
of a cooling lotion to shrink his
aching head and still the tumult
uous beating of his brain. The
commissioner looked severely at
the lowly Swede, said nothing, hut
recalled for a book. He turned
over a page or two and looked up
at the cu!prit with a frown. After
turning over several pages he
seemed to find something that in
terested him for he suddenly bent
closer to the hook with an eager
look, while his index finger jumped
to a certain line and with a concen
trated gaze his eyes followed the
travels of his finger. He then
shut the book with a snap, sat up
straight in his chair, buttoned his
coat closer around him and put
ting on his judicial expression In
fixed the defendant with a long
penetrating glance and said softly:
“Your fine, including costs and all.
will be thirty-one dollars and
twenty-eight cents.”
The Swede pointed a long, bony
finger at the discarded book and
said: “You- you- you- show ma
wear it say dat in da book.”
To Extend Time.
Secretary Hitchcock has sub
mitted to Congress a recommenda*
tion for an amendment to tin;
Alaska mineral laws, extending
tlie time for filing adverse claims
to mineral locations from sixty
days to eight months. The recom
mendation was made as the result
of the receipt of a telegram from
District Attorney Hoyt, at Nome,
showing how applications for min
eral entries might he made after
the close of navigation and pushed
thrrugh within the sixty days now
provided, leaving an adverse
claimant no recourse.
Good All Over Alaska.
Walter Geffney tells the story
of a Nome man who died, and,
strange as it may seem, went up
to heaven’s gate, says the Nome
Nugget. Upon arrival there, how
ever, St. Peter refused to admit
him. The Nome man urged his
right to he admitted within the
pearly gates, with all the persis
tence of a Nome lawer. Hut Peter
was adamant. Finally as a last
resort he threw his hat over the
wall. Tliis angered the saint who
ordered the Nomeite to come in
and pick up ids hat. He was per
mitted to took around for a min
ute, and then St. Peter told him he
would have to “mush.” He re
fused to go. Just then a winged
messenger came along and asked
Peter what the fellow was doing
in there. The messenger was told
that he refu.-ed to get out. “I’ll
tell you how to get him out,” said
the celestial Mercury. “Just go
outside the gate and yell “Steam
boat,” and he’ll go out and rub
ber.”
