GOV. HOGGATT DID NOT
OPPOSE JUDICIAL DIVISION
Guv. Hoggatt explicitly denies that
he opposed the division of the Third
judicial district in Alaska, as he has
been widely charged with doing.
Frank Watson states that in a conver
sation with the governor at Juneau
recently the executive said he never
changed his attitude on the question
from the hour that he urged the crea
tion of a fourth judicial district in his
annual report, lie asserted that so
far from advocating Senator Files’
weird plan to annex Alaska to Seattle
for judicial purposes he resisted that
project to the end of the congressional
session, not only before the commit
tees but went to the president and told
him the scheme would be valueless to
Alaska.
The Tanana estimated this season's
output at $15,000,000 before the strike
