hand' d down a decision whereby I!.

This d«vision is of jrreat interest to

i { ascade; was authorized by
( .. e F. I hat bar. Charles Scott and
.1. Dennett, to locate mining claims fori
them in Alaska. He located three
valuable claims on Cleary creek,
which be turned; over to Dunbar. Scott
and Bennett, with the understanding
that they would record the claim.;
This they neglected to do until the:
original staking of the claims was de
clared void because of lapse of time.
Afterwards they recorded the claims
in their own names.
Petitions for Term of Court
Tie* n umbers of tie* local bar have
petitioned the attorn* y-general urging
that a session of the district court be
ie*ld in Valdez at an early date. The
docket is full of cases, several of
importance, awtiting adjudication.
It is highly probable, therefore, that
the newly appointed judge, Silas If. 1
Held, will hold his first term of court j
here. As soon as his appointment is j
c :dirmed by the senate. Judge Reid
will doubtless leave for the north,
arriving here about the first of January
The court term will then be held, if
the prayer of the petition sent by the j
attorneys is granted,'--Valdez Pros-j

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE
NEW DISTRICT JUDGE
Seattle A telegram from Washing-j
ton to the Rost-lntelligencer says
that Si In-. I!. Keid, the new Alaska
judge is ot about the same avoirdupois;
a> Secretary Taft and Major Richard
son, and by the time he reaches Fair
banks over the winter trail lu* will
probably know lu* has heed traveling.
The Washington Rost says that “Si”
Reid, as he is known in Oklahoma, is
quite u typical Westerner, and that he
“made friends and thrived as a law
yer,” when he quit Illinois and went
to the Southwest seven years ago.
lie was republican candidate for at
torney-general of the new state on the
tepwbliean ticket, but the democrats
uere too many for him.
in an interview,fudge Reid says: “I
always had an ambition to go on the
bench: I would rather be a member of
tlie supreme court of tin* I nited States
than be president. A justice of that
tribunal is above the exactions of poli
tics. With the assurance of a lifetime
position ahead of him, I e is concerned
only in the giving out ot exact justice.
It was first suggested that I become a
justice of Rorto Rico, but this was
found impracticable. The fact that 1
had had experience in a new country
helped me, I suppose, and besides, I
had the united support of the Oklaho
ma republicans.
“Alaska is not so very different from 1
Oklahoma, when you come to think of
it. We are so far away from it here j
that we are apt to think of Alaska as a
barren place in which life is a burden.
Rut I am informed that the climate is
not worse than that of Richmond Vir
ginia, and that in Sitka a room in a
hotel with a private bath is not out of
the quest ion. As for the cold weather
oiu does not mind that because be is
prepared for it. In western Oklahoma
,*i man can get lost m a blizzard and
freeze to denth.“
It is another interesting fact about
Judge Reid, not yet public anywhere,
that he had his choice between a
judgeship in Rorto Rico and one in
Alaska, lie hesitated sometime be
tween the tropics and tin* sub-Arctic,
but finally chose the latter.

Judge W ickersham Draws a Line
Since the light against Judge Wick
ersham was begun by some of the
Fairbanks attorneys, a popular pastime
among them has been to, in and out of
court, in the newspapers and on the
streets, say things about the judge!
of this district that probably no other
judge in America would stand for.
Owing to a light being on, and trust
ing to time to vindicate him, Judge
Wickersham until this term of court
has put up with the disrespect of the
anti-Wickersham lawyers until they,;
probably, became convinced in their!
own minds that he dared not call them ;
down. During the past week in court
it, Fairbanks, one lawyer was rudely ;
disabused of such belief, if he enter
tained it. For contemptuous language j
Attorney Rratt was fined$300 by Judge
Wickersham, which will probably he !
a lesson to several local attorneys.—:
