THERE IS A GOD IN ISRAEL
For twelve months or more the people of Iditarod
loudly and continuously clamored for the presence of the
District Court. The Court finally came and has gone. The
town is yet the same and things in general do not seem to
have undergone any great change. The grand jury had
its inning—with the usual result : some went scot-free,
others got off with the kind assistance of their attorneys,
and one or two are in durance vile, waiting for another
chance that may bring them freedom and fresh air. While
all the things that were still are, one new feeling has come
over the community, and while only felt indirectly its in
fluence is potent and far 1 caching; which feeling may best
be summed up in the expression, “We of the Iditarod know
that there is a god in Israel who never sleeps.”
The Court was long in coming, but it came; and il
will come again just as sure as this camp survives another
winter, and those who will not do unto their neighbors as j
they would have their neighbors do unto them will meet
the task-master.
All the local business ot the camp has been disposed ot
so far as possible. A number of cases that could now per
haps be tried were not ready for trial, and if any case
remained undisposed of it was the fault of the parties in
terested or their attorneys, for Judge Overfield was several
days calling for work and received none. The Court dis
patched all business with promptness,—perhaps once or
twice a little too promptly, but all hands seem to be satis
fied and particularly those interested in the situations, and
when they are satisfied why should not the Pioneer be!
Prior to the arrival of Judge Overfield and his Court
officials we had heard many flattering things about him.
The report had reached here that he “ was making good
at Fairbanks, and whenever any judge makes good at Fair
banks he can make good in any part of the world.
Nothing but praise can be heard about the conduct
and action of the Court during the recent term. Judge
Overfield showed on every occasion that he is one of the
people. He seems to understand the motives that animate
men, and particularly the ordinary, every-day man with
whom the Court comes in contact, and whenever a man
who sits in judgment upon his fellowman can feel with
him: can read, as it were, what is written in his heart; un
derstands his shortcomings and particularly understands
the conditions and circumstances which surround such men:
such a man, we say, cannot help but make a good judge.
We are pleased to have found Peter D. Overfield to be such
a judge, and we are proud of him. He is an old Alaskan:
a man who has been in the drift, at the wheelbarrow and
at the windlass; who can talk and understand the miner’s
and prospector’s talk and who can sympathize with them.
Sometimes one would feel as though he were hitting
this or that lawyer a little too hard, but whenever the law
yers would come out of the court room after having received
a roasting from the Court and laugh it off and say : “Oh 1
he is all right, he isn’t half as bad as he would have us
believe,” we felt that they were expressing their true feel
ings. And whenever it became the painful duty of the

OUTFITTING A SPECIALTY
Court to sentence a man, there was presented a good op
portunity to study one side of the judge’s character and
make-up. While he would be firm and stern, one could
see from his actions and draw from his remarks the safe
conclusion that that there was down deep in the bottom of
his heart that feeling which makes all men kin. There
would shine forth a light of hope for better conduct in the
future and that great human desire to give a man another
chance before condemning him to the eternal bow-wows.
And thus it happened every day while Court lasted; and
now that he has gone we have but recollections of confi
dence and respect for him who occupies the highest office
in the land which we have made our home, and the Pioneer
is confident that these feelings and recollections are shared
by all who observed Judge Overfield while he was here or
who came in personal contact with him. There is a god in
Israel, and the people of Iditarod are not afraid of him.
A dispatch from Seattle says that the delay in charting the
mouth of the Kuskokwim river is due to dry rot attacking the
steamer Explorer. It’s quite possible that dry rot has also at
tacked the department of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Joe Ceiin Gets
Joe Cohn has reached out for another
youngster. This ‘time the Spokane
boss figures that lie has another Wal
ter Johnson. Owen Hedley, a young
ster of 19 summers, who first saw the
light in Rumas Washington, is the
latest candidate for the honors of a
phenom in the league, says the Ta
coma Tribune.
Recently Hedley pitched a game
against Bellingham and let the husky
opponents down without a hit, and in
cidentally caused 11 batters to make
quick round trips via the strikeout
route. Not a hall during the game
was hit out of the infield and never for
a minute did the Bellingham bunch
have a chance to score.
Hedley is a right-handed pitcher
with all kinds of smoko. He weighs
over the 180 mark and has size and
weight enough to get away in any
league in the country.
Two of the Coast magnates made
efforts to get the services of the
Sumas pitcher, but Cohn beat his
rivals and secured a contract.
Captain Ostdiek will watch the
youngster for a week or two and will
then give him atrial against one of the
visiting clubs.
