FAIRBANKS, Jan. 20.—Telegraph
ic advices received by George L. Arm
strong, Fairbanks representative of
the general land office, from the chief,
of the Alaskan field division, state
that the lands within a strip five miles
wide on each side of the right of way
of the government railroad are open
to location and entry, the timber only
being reserved for the uses of the
government in connection with the
construction of the railroad. This re
serve was created by executive order
No. 2217, of the president of the
United States, and amended by ex
ecutive order No. 2226, to include the
lands along the right of way from
Broad Pass to Fairbanks.
Almost all, if not all, of this land
has been surveyed, but the survey
plats of the greater part of it have
not yet been filed officially in the Fair
banks land office, so that with the ex
ception of those within a few miles
of Fairbanks the lands are officially
unsurveyed, and as each subject to
homestead location. Locators of home
steads on unsurveyed lands have a
period of 90 days after the plats are
officially filed within which to make
their respective locations. After that
period, if the locator fails to make
entry, same may be made by any oth
er person. Valid homestead locations
cannot be made on unsurveyed lands,
as entry of such lands may be made
in the land office without any prelimi
naries, other than an examination of I
the land by the applicant to assure
him that it is non-mineral and not
claimed or occupied by any native.
Mineral locations are made in the J
same manner, whether the lands are j
surveyed or unsurveyed.
In any case, no timber within this ■
area can be taken or used by the set
tler without the permission of the
Alaskan Engineering; commission. The
proper procedure for the settler is to
make application in the land office for j
such timber as he wishes to cut, and j
if this application is approved by
the Alaskan Engineering commission,
permission will be granted him by a
representative of the land office to
take the timber.
Incidentally, it may be remarked i
that experience shows that the engi- I
neering commission is disposed to be j
very liberal in approving applications
for any of this timber, which they do
not literally need themselves. Of
course the needs of the railroad have
to be given first consideration—for
this purpose the timber reserve was
created by the president—but all de
partments of the government are anx
ious to see the country developed and
will be found willing to do everything
that they can to assist its develop
ment, so that many people may settle
along the line.
As quite a large number of people
have stated lately that they desire to
locate either homesteads or mineral
claims along the right of way of the
railroad, it is believed that this infor
mation will be of general interest.
More individual mining is being
done in the Yukon this winter than
for several years past.

BIDS FOR ALASKA
(Seattle P.-I.)
Bids on the record large order of
materials for the government railrqad
in Alaska, or for 10,000 tons of steel
rails and their fittings for the perma
nent way were opened yesterday by C.
E. Dole, purchasing agent of the Alas
kan Engineering commission. Two
bids were received, one from the Unit
ed States Steel Products company
and one from the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company, of Denver, Colo., both at. the
same terms of $40 a ton for first qual
ity and $38 for the percentage of sec
ond quality rails that would be found
in an order so large. With the fit
tings, which were only bid on by the
first-named company, the total value
of the order is in the neighborhood of
$450,000.
Means Activity on Northern End.
All of the steel is for the Nenana
Fairbanks division of the new road,
and the placing of the order bears out
the expressed intention of the commis
sion to rush work from the northern
as well as the southern end of the line.
The steel will probably be shipped
from Seattle to Fairbanks via the all
water route up the Yukon.
Final decision on the bids will be
made by W. C. Edes, chairman of the
commission, who is at present in
Washington, D. C. Particulars were
wired to him and an answer is expect
ed within a few days.
Delivery Next Summer.
The bid from the United States
Steel Products company was f. o. b.
at their mills at Gary, Ind., and South
Chicago and Joliet, 111. Delivery is
promised for 50 per cent in time to j
reach Seattle July 15 and 50 per cent'
to reach Seattle August 15.
The bid from the Colorado Fuel & j
Iron company is also figured on the1
finished material at the Denver plant,
and delivery is offered, 25 per cent1 in
June, 25 in July, 25 in August and 25
in September.

BACTERIA (Concluded)
What has been said in regard to the :
life and growth and the prevalence
of bacteria is only done in an effort
to impress upon you the fact that
most diseases are due to bacteria and
because of this they are in a large
measure preventable. If you will re
member this and apply the knowledge
in the little duties of every day you
may be able to avoid some of the dis
eases that are very likely to surround
you some day, and be in the house
next door to you. It may be a little
more trouble and it may take a little
more time to wash the vegetables be
fore using them, and to keep your
fresh milk at a low temperature, and
to put on fly screens early, and to
keep everything covered up and pro
tected from flies, and to keep your
garbage can well covered in the sum
mer and keep it back to the alley line
where it will not be an attraction for
flies and so bring them to the back
door.
It rjiay be more trouble but i,t will
pay and pay big, to do all these things
and many more that will be suggested
from time to time that will not only
improve the general health of the
community but will add to the appear
ance as well. It is just as easy to
teach a child to keep its hands clean
as to let them go dirty and the moth
er has lots more time to do this than
the school teacher has, and that is
where he will be taught these things
if you fail or neglect to do it, for the
proper conduct of a school embraces
all these things as well as teaching
a child how to cut pictures and build
block houses. See that your child has
clean hands when he goes to school
and you will take a great burden off
the shoulders of the teacher and give
her more time to do properly other
things that you are paying her for.

ON THE COAST
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—A whole
sale shake-up in the federal judiciary
on the Pacific coast will be in order if
the house passes the bill pushed
through permitting the president to
place on the retired list any federal
judges who have passed the age of 70.
In fact, a shake-up throughout the
country would be possible.
The ranking federal judges on the
Pacific coast are the four members of
the United States court of appeals at
San Francisco. Two of these judges,
William W. Morrow, of Ssn Francisco,
and Erksine M. Ross, of Los'Angeles,
Cal., would be subject to enforced re
tirement under the pending bill, and
Judge William B. Gilbert, of Portland
will reach the retiring age next July.
By the authority given him in the
bill recently passed by the senate the
president could forcibly retire Judges
Ross and Morrow, and in the middle
of the summer could accord' the same
treatment to Judge Gilbert, and after
creating the vacancies could fill them
as he might see fit.
Available for promotion to the cir
cuit bench, with others, would be
Judge Charles E. Wolverton, of Ore
gon, Judges Frank H. Rudkin, Edward
E. Cushman and Jeremiah Neterer, on
the federal district benches in Wash
ington, and Judge Frank S. Dietrich in
Idaho. There would also be availa
ble the federal judges in California,
Montana, Nevada, Arizona and Alas
ka.
It is the policy of the present attor
ney-general to favor the appointment
of no men to the federal bench who
have passed the age of 60 years, but
whether this limitation would be ap
plied in promoting judges from the
district to the circuit bench is doubt
ful. The rule, however, is favored
when it comes to filling vacancies o»
the supreme court, and it is under
stood in Washington that the presi
dent will not appoint any man to the
supreme court who has passed 60.
Justice Brandeis was just under 60 at
the time of his nomination.
If any of the federal judges on the
supreme courts in Oregon, Washing
ton or Idaho are to be promoted to
the circuit bench at San Francisco, it
is likely that the president would con
sider, among other availables, judges
on the supreme courts of the respect
ive states, though this rule is not ne
cessarily followed. However, state su
preme courts are often stepping stones
to the federal bench.
Three judges on the supreme
bench who would be eligible for re
tirement under the pending bill are
Chief Justice White, of Louisiana;
Justice McKenna, of California and
Justice Holmes, of Massachusetts.
There is little doubt that Secretary
Lane of the interior department will
be named to succeed Justice McKenna,
but the question then arises, will the
president, bearing in mind the won
derful development of the Pacific
coast in late years, accord that section
another place on the supreme bench ?
Geographicaly, and from the view
point of diversity of litigation, the
Pacific coast is entitled to two mem
bers of tfie supreme bench. There is
no likelihood that Judge Hunt of the
circuit court, would be promoted to
the supreme court, for his ac
tion in the New Haven litigation
would bar him and the other three
members of the circuit court are bar
red by -age. Therefore, if the presi
dent is to go to the Pacific coast for a
second judge for the supreme court,
he must make his choice from among
the federal district judges, or from
among the state judges, for there is
no likelihood that he would elevate to
the supreme bench a man without pre
vious experience <m the bench.
them are harmless and some are not
but you cannot tell from looking at
■your hands whether they are clean
enough to put in your mouth or not;
therefore keep the fingers away ‘from
the mouth and eyes.
