Tho coming to Seward of certain
members of the House* territorial and
appropriations committees should
prove of some benefit* provided the
members arc coming on a business
trip and not one of pleasure. It the
trip is for business* anti presumably
it is* well anil good* but if for pleas
ure* it is simply a waste of further
funds of the Department of the Inter

We wonder why Chairman Edes of
the Alaskan Engineering Commission
not coming north this season. We
have missed that usual “con” of hi;
that particular one “oh- yes- certainly,
the railroad will be completed between
Seward and Anchorage this year.” He
handed that out five years ago and
probably could not think up a new one.
That is some little spell-binder that
the brotherhood of Trainmen has
handed out “more wages or make tho

Editor Gateway:—
To decide an argument going on
in this camp it has been agreed to ask
you if the following statements arc
true, and- if so* to answer the <|UC^
tion based on the statements:
1st.— That the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission elaims 220 miles of
railroad have been completed, an
shown by Secretary Lane’s official i“'
port.
2nd.— That Mr. McPherson- repre
senting the Secretary and the Alaskan
Engineering Commission* testified be
fore the Mouse Committee on Appro
priations that the road bad been con
structed at an average cost of $71*000
a mile.
.trd.— That the official reports
show a tot: 1 of $22000-000 appropri
ated by Congiess and expended by
ihc Commi ‘Ion.
tih.— That 220 miles of track at
*71-000 a mile make $16-220-000.
:,th.— That $16-220-000 from $22
000-000 leaves a balance of $16,670
OOO.
Are the foregoing statements true?
If they are true- then will you
kindly inform us what has become or
the unaccounted balance of $16-670*
000?
Very truly yours*

Three local boys at Petersburg have
been bound over to the grand jury at
Ketchikan for jobbing stores and the
post office at Petersburg. This should
be a warning to parents to watch the? »
boys and guide them a little. No doubt
but parent's all say that “our boy
would not do such a thing.” Maybe
not- but after associating with boys
who would stoop to rob- they become a
member of the gang and sooner or lat
er get caught in the net.
The train leaving Anchorage on
Wednesdays connects with the train

* IS NOW GIVEN BY
* A BAR ASSOCI ATION ‘
SAN* DIEGO- Aug. 1— In a it port
made by I*. A. Whitacre- recently ap
pointed by the San Diego Bar Assoc
iation as public legal aid* the attorney
shows that during the two months the
office has been in existence he had re
ceived more than 125 calls for advice.
The office of public defender was
established to conform to the provis
ions of a legacy left by Lieut. Dewilt
C. Mitchell* who died while in the
military service of the United States.
Lieut. Dewitt C. Mitchell before enter
ing the service was an attorney in this
city. Control of the legacy and dis
bursement of funds thereby provided
was left to the San Diego Bar Assoc
iation of funds thereby provided was
left to the San Diego Bar Association.
Few cases submitted to the public
defender have been carried to the
courts* an amicable settlement having
been arranged wherever possible.
Persons applying for relief or de
fense who are found to be attenpting
to usurp privileges to which they are
not entitled are sent elsewhere. The
public defender has had little of thr.s
to contend with- however* according
to his report* “anti no trepidation neco
be felt by the worthy applicant.”
The trust stipulates that:
“AH persons who shall apply to
said public attorney for his aid and
assistance and who shall appear to
him* to be in need of an attorney
shall prosecute or defend their legal
rights or give them legal aid or de
fence as the case may be, providing
however* that said public attorney
shall confine his services to matte, s
of a civil nature.”
Bequests for relief are varied and
cover all classes of civil litigation.
Many former soldiers and sailors have
called for aid.
The trust was not established pr;
marily as a charity. The only charges
however are for filing and other costs.
A stipulation in the terms of the foun
dation show that it was planned to
“help him who helps himself”. The
will says:
“I hereby subscribe to the view that
persons who have saved a little money
or other property- and who are in dan
ger of losing it- are more worthy of
help to preserve what they have laid
by* than persons who have not hajl the
foresight or self control to lay by sav
• _ _ M
ings.
Lieut . Mitchell s mother- Mrs. Aus
tin W. Mitchell- has enlarged the scope
of her son’s legacy by supplying funds
for the maintenance of an office in
a centrally located building. Steno
graphic- telephone and other servic *
has also been furnished. %
Whitacre was appointed May -r> to
serve one year, successive appoint
ments to be made by the Bar associa
tion for one year periods.
