SEWARD, ALASKA. MONDAY. AUGUST 30. 1915.
The First Division is still terribly exercised over the miserable little
Forest fund which it tried to keep all to itself. The amount is very small
and the First division seems to be agitated to a degree out of all proportion
to the importance of the matter. Judge Jennings decided that the money
must be divided amongst all the divisions but in this decision he showed a very'
strong sympathy, to say the least of it. for the First. Now comes the Peters
burg Progressive with the following:
'According to the Juneau Umpire, one of the points that led the court
to arrive at the unfavorable decision in the case in which the Representatives
of the First Division were the complainants to prevent the division of the
forest reserve money was, that the plaintiffs had failed to “show personal
loss.”
“In olden times, such a subterfuge was accepted as a justifiable excuse
to shed a burden; but that time has passed now. In those days, the intelli
gence of the average men was not so well developed as it is today; conse
«i entiy. men did not so readily distinguish between right and wrong, law
and equity and the wise { ?) judges evaded their duties on mere technicalities,
in our case, the judge s mind shows either a lack of mental faculty strong
enough to take a firm stand for what is just and equitable, or lack the power
to distinguish the merit of the case, ami resorted to a hole to crawl through—
the technicality—to evade a responsibility. Fortunately, the people have an
other remedy and that is to take tho matter up to the court of appeals where
the merit of the case will be looked into without splitting hairs for the fabri- j
cation of excuses. The people should not rest until the Representatives are |
forced to take the necessary steps to protect their interest.
Somehow, there is a sort of feeling that the lots in the Terminal Tract
here ought to be sold by the government this year. While those lots lie idle
o sort of feeling of instability makes its presence felt. There is absolutely
no reason for saying this except that Mr. Christensen of the land department
was speaking about those lots ju^t a few minutes before this was written
and the idea came accidentally that with Uncle Sam holding those lots in his
hands all winter he holds control of the realty market just as the De Beers
hold out those diamonds to regulate the price.
PACIFIC NAVIGATION CO.
PI TS ON ANOTHER SHIP.
Instead of Losing the Watson the
Company Will Run Ad
ditional Vessel.
Far from letting the injury to the
'outimism the
Pacific Alaska Navigation company
has decided to put the Admiral Far
ragut immediately in its place and not
only run the Farragut while the Wat
son is being repaired but to keep it on
when the Watson is again running,
and so give an additional ship to the
company's service to Alaska. The
Admiral Farragut will sail from Seat
tle on September 5, according to a
cable received by Frank Watson, as
sistant traffic manager. The Watson
will resume service immediately after
the completion of repairs.
TERMINAL TRACT LOTS MAY
BE SOLO PRETTY SOON.
A. Christensen, of the general land
office, who arrived from Anchorage
Saturday afternoon has not yet quite
been able to say whether the lots on
the terminal tract will be auctioned
off this fall or next spring. He says
he will know in a day or two, prob
ably tomorrow. He speaks very
highly of the outlook at Anchorage
w here he concluded the second sale of
lots a short time ago. In one case in
that town he heard a story of a half
interest in a lot being sold by the
original purchaser for five thousand
dollars but he did not remember the
names of the parties interested. He
is now busy on the matters relating
to the prospective sale of our own
lots.
