HACK TO THE OLD TIME
-
Several business houses have found
that the change of time is a nuisance
and have gone back to the old time.
Amongst those which went back today
were Brown & Hawkins, The Hank of
Seward and the Broadway barber
>hop. The saloons all kept the old
i time on Saturday and this morning
for opening. The cable otliee insists
on the old time and the ships can have
no other time really. As the Satur
day Evening Post says, the whole
thing is a nuisance. One man oil* the
railroad last night called it asininity.

' WILL ASK FOR ANOTHER
Jl'PGE FOR TERRITORY
JUNEAU, Ot. 3—At the meeting
of the Bur Association last night, a
committee was appointed to draft u
| hill which will be presented to eon
i gress providing for the appointment
of another-judge for the bench of Al
aska, with headquarters in Juneau.
Another committee was appointed to
secure the necessary data showing the
great amount of legal and court work
in the Eirst division and other infor
mation which might assist in secur
ing the passage of the bill.
A judge can be secured from the
Circuit Court of Appeals to come to
Juneau and assist in clearing the
docket. The clerk of the court is only
required to make an alhdnvit as to the
congested state of the docket and for
ward it to the chief justice of the cir
cuit court. In that event one of the
, assoc iate justices will he sent north.
As that method will not only afford
temporary relief, it is the* consensus
I of opinion of the members of the Par
! Assoc iation that a permanent jXuTgo
should be* appointed, to he stationed
at Juneau and to be subject to call
from am district in the Territory.
The committee appointed to draft
the hill consisted of X. it. Cheney,
and I .ester 0. (lore, whi'e A. II. Xeig

! STRONG PRESIDES AT
! GRIGSBV’S MEETING
JUNEAU, Oct. 8—Governor Strong
presided Inst night at the meoeting
addressed hy George Grigsby and the
house was crowded noth withstanding
the fact that several other attractions
j were offering in the city. Three
quarters of the speech were devoted
to Wickersham but the speaker also
exposed Cobb’s treason to Democracy,
lie explained Schofield's criticism o»
himself and showed Schofield's resi
donee* to he Seattle. Ho characterized
the supporters of Wickorsham as of
three classes: Hero worshippers who
i refuse to see facts, those who regard
him as a lighter and those who vote
, for him to got even with someone else.
' Mr. (irigsby produced records to show
lie was not a lighter, that he is inef
ficient and that he imposes on the
credulity of the people by mis-stating
facts, 'flu* speaker showed that Mr.
Wickorsham never led in progressive
matters hut grabbed the tail end or
some progressive movement and
usually pulled back instead of pushing!
ahead. The speech was very well re
ceived. The report sent out from lioiv
that the betting is two to one that
Wickorsham will carry the First di
vision is not true. (Irigsby’s meeting
last night was called to order by
Mayor Stewart who introduced the
governor. The governor spoke in
oulogv of (Irigshv and urged the peo
ple to vote for him.
MATING IN Jl’NF.AU IS
IN FAVOK OF St I.ZKlf
JUXKAU, Oct. S.—At the begin
ning of the campaign one of the
Wickersham partisans bet twenty
dollars even money that Wickersham
would carry this division but since
then the betting i.- altogether on the
side of Sulzer. Several bets have
been made that Sulzer will carry the
division bv six hundred and more and
all are even money.

MINING IN TOLOVANA
During 1914 and 1915 hundreds of
people attracted by the reported lirul
ing of gold in the headwater region of
Tolovana River in central Alaska
rushed into the district, and system
atic mining began there during the
summer of 1915. Although consider
able prospecting was done only about
40 mines were commercially product
ive, but they made a gold output to
the value of $80,000. Gold bearing
gravels occur in the beds of the pres
ent streams' in buried channels, and
in bench gravels, but most of the gold
has been won from the deep channels
on Livengood creek, which has proved
to be far richer than either the stream
or the bench placers. Some shallow
placers have also yielded gold, notably
on Olive creek, but only prospects
have been found in the benches.—U.
