JUK LONDON IN NOME
Jack London whose death is an
nounced on the first page of today’s
Nugget came to Nome in 1800 before
he had achieved much fame as a writ
er. He had a grip full of manuscrip
ts. a lot of confidence in himself ami
a great feeling of wonder that mag
azine editors did not like his stuff.
He is reported as telling an acquaint
ance here that if he could get the
magazines to buying his stuff that he
would soon have more money than
Clerance Berry.
The editors very soon after
wards accepted his offerings eagerly
and he became one of the best paid
authors in the world. Although he be
came rich, he did not approach Ber
ry’s wealth for the latter put his Daw
son money into California oil lands.

JOHN HEll) OFF TO
CALIF. TO A ROLE CASE
—
Jl'NEAC. Jan. 3.—The question of
the right of the First and Third divi-j
sions of Alaska to have the entire
amount of $.’>2,St>$.l7, which sum will
be augmented by approximately $40.
000 within the next year, and which
represents the amount of money real-j
ized from the forest reserves in these
two divisions, will be presented to the
Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco, on appeal from the dec is-1
ion of Judge Robert W. Jennings, of
the District court, this division, by
Attorney John (.*. Heid. who also is
one of the plaintiffs in the suit
brought on behalf of the members of
the second territorial legislature, of
the First division, to prevent the dis
tribution of the forest reserve money
being made among the four divisions.
The money, as claimed by the
plaintitTs in this ?uit, which was ad
versely decided by the District Court
here, belongs solely to the First and
Third divisions a? all of it was de
rived from timber disposed of in these
two sections, and no portion of it
should be apportioned to any other ol
tlie division?.
The question is a big one and is of
vital importance to Southeastern Al
aska and the Third division. A provi
sion in the law provides that the
money shall be spent tor the benefit
of the county or counties from which
it is derived. On this theory, it is
contended by plaintitTs in the suit
that the legislature had no right or
authority to make distribution of it
as was (lore: that the Fourth and
Second divisions should not have
shared in the distribution. — Juneau
