' 1 though it was quite generally known
here that he had such a step in contempla
tion. the new- that Judge Fuller’s resigna
tion has been tendered to the department of j
justice at Washington is somewhat in the
na ure < f a surprise. The following fr< m
the Fairbanks Times of November 2 seems :
to speak advisedly, however:
“In a telegram received yesterday from
Washington it was authentically stated that
Judge Fuller had resigned his office, and
hat it took effect, on Thursday. Although
it is not definitely known here whether or
not the official was asked to resign, it is
not thought likely, as he intended when
he went Outside to give up his office.
“Before boarding Sheldon’s automobile at
the Nordale hotel, on his way to the coast,
Judge Fuller told a representative of the
Times that he had something in view Out
side, and if it proved satisfactory after fur
ther examination he would not return to
Fairbanks as judge of this division. Al
though he did not state definitely the na
ture of the proposition in the States, he
intimated that it was a partnership deal, j
whereby he was to enter practice.
“Judge Fuller was appointed during the ,
summer of 1912, and came to Fairbanks (
shortly after the freeze-up that fall. Be- l
fore coming here he was located at Nome
for some years, and for a time was com
missioner there.
“The question Jhat was on everybody';
lips about the streets yesterday was. Wh.i
will be the successor to Judge Fuller? Sev
eral Fairbanks attorneys are spoken of as
aspirants for the place, and some intimated
that C. IF Bunnell would rather be judge
than delegate to congress. That this is
erroneous, however, is certain from state
ments made by Mr. Bunnell while he was
here.’’
if the children of Hat City, Discovery |
and Otter creek do not have the most en- |
joyahle and elaborate Christmas celebration I
ever planned and executed in the North this
year it will not be the fault of the good
people of there reel ions. If the la vish ex
penditure of money, the interest of the
whole adult population, and the especial
car-c and attention to detail which can only
be given to such an undertaking by the
ladies of the community count for anything,
when Santa Claus appears in Moose hall
, n Christmas eve he will be greeted by
the happiest bunch of youngsters he will
meet with in his travels.
The people of the creek districts have set
themselves tin* task of preparing for Santa
Claus on a gigantic scale, and as the chil
dren are not as numerous as in more set
tled communities. Outside, they propose to
make up for this deficiency bv making the
< •'■•asinn a memorable one fur the few who
are in their midst. Every detail for the
little ones’ hap; iness that loving hearts can
Miggest and willing hands prepare has been
provided for, and the remit will be that
childhood will reign supreme in Flat City
. n the eve of the great Christian holiday.
The manner in which the Christmas-tree
idea has taken hold of the community is
typically Ale-kan. At the first sugge-tion
of the plan- the idea of raising the necessary
funds was uppermost, and with this end
a ball v* as gi\ cn, which netted 11 ■
comfort aide sum of nearly £250. This was
added to by generous contributions, and
the success of the event was assured finan
cially The hu m folks having done their
part in provi i :r 1 e funds, the ladies took
C--*mir:ittces were appointed to take
h: id i.f :;v m.rious details, and the energy
displayed by each member has been one of
the inspiring things in connection with the
celebration. A general committee com
posed ' f an enthusiastic group of lady
workers, each one trying to outdo the oth.-r
in her Zeal for the success of the enterprise,
has charge of the arrangements.
It must n t be thought that the children
ere the only ones who will enjoy the occa
sion. The adults of the community expect
to onj' y to ihe limit the entertainment and
the s;'illi of the yuUJiy.Aer.l h. t ipinr . and,
:e>i'.t s this an • nteftmnmr. i is being pre

TOMMY'S MARCHING SONG
Here are the words of “It’s a Long \\ ay
to Tipperary.” the song which has caught
the fancy of the British Tommy, and which
is being used as a marching song in th *
campaign in France and Belgium:
Lp to mighty London came an Irishman
one day;
V< the streets are pav’d with gold, sure,
everyone was gay,
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and
Leicester square.
Till Paddy got excited; then he shouted
to them there:
chorus
It's a i- lie way t i Tipperary,
It's a long way to go;
It's a long way to Tipperary.
T i the -wretest girl I know.
Ci *o(l-bye. Piee.Klilly; farewell, Leicester
square --
It- a long way to Tipperary.
Put my heart's right then .
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O,
saying, ••should you not receive it. write
and let me know;
If 1 make mistake- in spelling. Molly dear.”
said he,
'•IP meinher, it's the pen that'.- bad; don't
lay the blame on me.”
Mi lly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O,
Saying, ".Mike Maloney wants to marry me,
and so
Leave the strand and Piccadilly, or you’ll
be to blame,
For love lias fairly drove me silly, hoping
you’re the same.”
