There can be no reasonable ex
ten ee for the parties in charge of
the construction of buildings now
In course of erection for the gov
ernment at Fort Liscum for rc
fusi ng to pay $5 a day to Valdez
Carpenters who arc wanted in the
work. They are comj>etcnt men
and receive that amount in the
town. It is urged, on the govern
menr side, that the men who were
brought up from the states arc re
ceiving but $4.50 per day and that
it would be an injustice to them for
additional men to receive more.
That might seem quite reasonable
until we take the statement of the
home carpenters who claim that the
government was under the addi
tional expense of bringing their
Carpenters from Seattle whereas
the Taldez carpenters came here
at their own expense and as the job
will not last long it might be con
sidered an equalizing of wages to
give them the full rate as against
the other man’s 94.50. The gov
ernment should not be a factor in
cutting down wages in a new sec
tion of the country such as this,
but on the contrary it should give
every encouragement and support
to men, women or children who are
‘willing to come here and stay with
the country. When contracts are
rto be given out the men of the
'country should have an opportun
ity to bid on the work and when
the work is being done a resident
should have first choice rather than
to in^port strangers who will quit
the country when the work is com
pleted. We need money in Alaska
and the government will do well to
assist us in getting it here.
As announced elsewhere the
Court for this section will be open
for business on Nov. 14th at Val
dez. There are a number of cases
awaiting action and a number of
euspects awaiting trial. It will be
« year since we last had court here
which is a very long time for peo
ple who may prove to be innocent
to be kept in durance vile and to
•come civil cases the delay may
prove fataL The delay is cer
Vainly not the fault of the court
but of the government that cuts up
Vhe whole of Alaska into only three
judicial divisions. The Third Di
vision, extending from the Pacific
ocean to the North Pole, and far
larger than many of the states of
the Union. In tact, the district is
•o extremely large that Judge
Wickersham is kept constantly on
the go from place to place. He
Willingly does his duty but the
task is too great. In justice to the
judge and to the people, the Third
Piviaion should be divided into
two judicial divisions with a judge
on the coast and one in the in
terior.
The indiscriminate sale of drugs
is not prohibited by the Alaska
Code so the supplying upon de
mand is dependent upon the judg
ment of the clerk and he should
fcave some judgment.
Much space has been given in
some of tiie Alaska pajicrs com
menting on the delay of the
Burnside in its work of laying the
cable, but the following statement
by Gen. Greely may tend to ease
the minds of those who evidently
do not understand the business:
“Cable laying is one of the most
difficult of mechanical tasks.
Many accidents arc encountered
and when a break occurs much
time is often lost. A cable ship
has been known to go out from
Nova Scotia on the Atlantic lines
and return in ninety days without
jiicking up the break. The Bum
side has hail unusually good luck,
although it undoubtedly ' seems to
the jiublic that she has suffered
remarkable delays. She has, in
fact, met fewer accidents than are
usual in cable laying.
It might lie well for Mr. Slaugh
ter with his Junior Spear to secure
a copy of the Alaska game laws as
well as the maps of the country
l>efore coming here on a slaugter
ing tour to win a wager. This is a
good conntry for large and small
game and we are pleased to see
people front all over the states
come and visit us and secure some
of the game if they are marksmen
enough to do so, hut we insist upon
them being sportsmen enough not
to hit or kill any more than
they need or than the law allows
and the law is quite liberal in the
matter, to those who seek permits
to take out trophies. The pros
pector or miner of Alaska is gen
erally very careful to kill only
when he needs the meat and hav
ing secured sufficient for himself
or his camp he ceases, knowing
full well that he would meet with
the condemnation of every muslier
were he to destroy the animals just
for the sake of shooting.
