NEW JUDICIAL DIVISION.
It occurs to The Times that it is up to the local attorneys
to take the initiative in the matter of the creation of a new ju
dicial division in Alaska with Anchorage as the headquarters.
The mountain range affords a natural division between the
Cook inlet country and the coqst region. This pail of the ter
ritory is becoming so populous because of the railway and other
activities and developments that the creation of a new division
becomes an urgent necessity.
From now on, it is quite probable that the Cook inlet coun
try will provide more court business than the remainder of the
division put together, hence the necessity for the new division,
because the court at Valdez will find itself unable to expedi
tiously handle the business that is bound to accrue.
Tt will require an act of congress to secure the creation of
a new judicial division in Alaska, and it is time for us to get
busy, so that a bill with this purpose in view can be put through
at the approaching session. The administration is in complete
accord with the developments in progress in the Cook inlet

country and we believe that there would be no dilnculty at ail
in gaining the new judicial division. It is simply a matter for
intelligent effort, in supplying the data necessary and placing
it before the department of justice at Washington. AVe are sure
the federal judge of this division would welcome the creation
of the new division, because it will remove a heavy burden from
bis shoulders. The coast region will supply ample work for
the court officials at A'aldez.
We are likewise sure that Delegate Wickersham will do
his utmost in the matter. And if, by chance, the complete re
turns should give the election to Mr. Sulzer, we believe he
would be in harmony with the suggestion. Neither candidate
has a right to complain of treatment received at the hospita
ble hands of the people of Anchorage.
Here is some real constructive work for us to do. And if
we are successful, and we firmly believe we shall be if we put
forth a vigorous, united effort, the result would prove highly
beneficial to Anchorage.
Let the local attorneys get together, draw a set of reso
lutions or take such action as they may deem best suited to the
purpose, and we are persuaded that the town will get behind
them and do all in its power to achieve a successful issue ol
the constructive proposition that will be advantageous to the
Cook inlet country and that will likewise add a big government
payroll to Anchorage. Surely, the object sought to baaccum
plished merits a vigorous effort.
To augment the telephone and telegraph service from Sew
ard to Anchorage, The Times believes that a wireless station
should be erected in this town, or at Fire island and connected
by telephone with Anchorage, whichever way is the most prac
ticable. A month ago, there was an official here looking over
the ynatter, but what conclusion he came to, has not been re
vealed, so far as we have been able to ascertain. The telegraph
ic business in this community has grown to such proportions
that uninterrupted communication with the outside .world be
comes a vital necessity.
The town authorities, Ave are informed, went over the head
of the local deputy United States marshakand made a raid on
a local pool room in which gambling is alleged to have been
committed. We know nothing of the facts with reference to
games of chance in this instance. The point we make is. why
was it necessary to go oA’er the bead of the local deputy in
charge here? If'he is not doing his duty, why is he retained in
this responsible position? The people have a right to know
of the rumored strained’ relations that exist as between the
townsite authorities and the local marshal’s office. It is a con
dition that is not conducive- to the best interests of this com
munity. And the townsite authorities and the marshal’s .office
might as well understand first as last that the people who com
pose this community and who, by reason of taking up their
abode here, have made it what it is, ha\re some rights that must
be respected, and that the townsite authorities and the officers
of the law are merely servants of the people. If they entertain
any other impression, they are laboring under a delusion from
which they will be aroused in the near future.
The presidential election was a nerve-racking affair, be
cause of the uncertainty that existed;1 for several days follow
ing the day of election, but the defecate election in Alaska ex
ceeds the major event in point of uncertainty. So far as The
Times is concerned, it believes that Delegate Wickersliam has
been re-elected, but this belief, we are frank to admit, is found
ed on what we desire. The delegate has the narrow margin of
Dll votes to the good, so far as known here, but we are persuad
ed that the remoter precincts, the reports from which have not
yet been received, will increase this slight lead and make his
re-election sure. The faithful three, of course, claim the elec
tion of Mr. Sulzer. Time*—that sol\res all things, will sol\re this
matter. It is something that no one can tell anything about.
