Bird Tribunals,
Ravens, starlings and crows are
believed to hold courts of justice to
mete out punishment to offenders.
Sometimes they assemble in great
numbers, as if they would give great
dignity to the occasion. The trial
sometimes apparently endures for
many days. Some birds sit at the
conclave with lowered heads, some
merely cock their heads on the
branches and look grave, while oth
ers are most garrulous and fill the
air with their complaints. Natural
ists studying these strange proceed
ings have seen an apparently select
ed number of birds fall upon one or
more of their number—at the close
of the "trial”—and put them to
death, after which they dispersed in
orderly fashion and went back
quietly to their nestft.—Harper’s.
Quite a Different Caaa.
This story is being told on a Kan
sas lawyer. The lawyer was arguing
a case before a judge, and, desiring
to illustrate by supposing a case, he
did so as follows: “We will suppose,
your honor,’’ he said, “that your
honor were to steal a horse”—
“No! No! No!” interrupted the
judge. “Not at all, not at ail, sir.
’Tain’t a supposable case, sir.”
“Very well, begging your honor’s
pardon,” said the eager lawyer, with
more zeal than prudence, “very well,
then. Supposing thut 1 should steal
a horse”—
“Ah, yes, yes,” said the judge,
“that is a very different thing, very
different, Mr. X. Proceed, sir!”—

Notice to
The Public
The Common Council of
Valdez in 1908, after a
careful investigation of
the rates paid by Citizens
of Alaska in the other
towns of the Territory for
Lights, established a rate
for Lights and Power
which they considered
would be fair to the cap
ital invested by the Al
aska Water, Light and
Telephone company and
fair to the consumers of
current.
This company has al
ways conformed with the
laws and regulations as
passed by the council in
every way possible.
On the strength of the
franchise granted in 1 908
this company has ex
pended nearly $50,000,
the’past summer, that the
people of this city might
have a 24-hour uninter
rupted service every day
the year round.
With that fact in view
competition in as small
a town as Valdez must
be ruinous and it will
cause capital to pause be
fore investing large sums
of money in public util
ities hereafter.
But regardless of the
facts above outlined The
Alaska Water, Tight and
Telephone Company is
here to stay and will
meet competiton no mat
ter how unfair and unjust
and will give to Valdez a
service better than ever
before because we are
now equipped to do so.
We respectfully solicit
your patronage and sup
port and feel sure that
all fairminded citizens
will see the justice of
our request and will sup
port this Company in its
efforts to give a 24-hour
service all the year.
Alaska Water,
Light & Telephone Co.
