IS MISS SCOTT
Miss Selma N. Scott, Chief Deputy
Clerk of the District Court of the
Third Division, with headquarters at (
! Valdez, has been admitted to prac
I tice In the courts of Alaska by Judge
E. E. Ritchie, after she had passed
a most favorable examination be-,
fore a committee of the Bar Associa
tion. composed of A. J. Dimond. J.
H. Murray and H. V. Ray.
Miss Scott Is the first member of
the gentle sex in this division to be
come a full-fledged lawyer and so
far as we know is entitled to that
distinction throughout Alaska. Sh“
is a bright, versatile and capable i
young lady who will undoubtedly
make her mark as a desreiple of i
Blackstone. She has been a resi
dent of the Territory for some time
and acceptably filled the position of
stenographer in the office of fhe
United States Attorney at Nome
from 1910 to 1912. where she be
gan the study of law. Three years
later she entered the office of At
torney L. V. Ray. at Seward, where
she continued her studies during
1915-16 and 17. Later Miss Scott
s-i»ent a year in Chile, as stenogra
pher for the Ken-nocott Copper Cor
poration and last summer she and
her mother made a trip to Europe,
returning in the fall to accept her
present position with the district
court and devoting her snare time to
perfecting herself for the examina
tion which she recently passed.—

San Francisco.—The newly organ
ized Alaska Bureau of the San Fran
cisco Cha-mbor of Commerce plana to
put two boats on the San Francisco
Anohorage run next summer in con
nection .with the steamship Buford,
which will be continued on the Nome
run. it was learned here recently.
The plan was understood to have
received the indorsement of Lee H.
Landis, new general manager of the
Alaska Railroad, who sailed for- Al
aska November 3.
Mr. Landis was given a big send
off by’ the Transportation Club hero
at a farewell dinner just prior to his
[departure. Amonc the speakers
were William Fitch, president of the
club; Congressman Julius Kahn.
Senator Shorbridge, W. H. Crocker,
member of the Republican National
Committee and L. J. Callamlar, sec
I rotary of the domestic trade bureau
of the chamber of commerce.
Calandar told the Transportation
club members at the Landis jollifi
cation dinner that the steamships to
be placed on the Alaska run would
be “eommodius vessels,” and they
! would take freight arid' passengers
| north and haul coal back from An
1 chorage.—Anchorage Times'.

COIIRBCT TIME?
l-»eft home this morning—clock »
registered 9:45; walked down Front
street; stopped at the Fire House.
Clock m there registered 9:43. Catnip
out of there and walked into Cheap .
John’s store and asked friend Weis
berg the time. He looked at hie bis
cuit and remarked it was Just 9:4o.
After chatting with Mitch for a few •
minute**, walked down to Milo's,
looking through the front window—
clock in there proclaimed the time
to be 10:45. Started down the
street again determined to find two
clocks with the same time. Had
only taken a few steps when Coun
cilman Hud Lehmann spoke to mi.-,
and 1 said: "What -thne you got.
Hud?” Well, after fishing around
in numerous pockets of hiw selothc.
Hud hauled out a turnip which reg
istered 7:30. By this time I was be
ginning to think the last one I took *
was tainted, when along came Jim
“Hello, Jimmy.” I cried. “Have «
you got the right time?”
“Sure have.” said Jimmy, and
with a deft movement he brushed
back his coat sleeve and exposed a
handsome wrist watch.
• “It's just nine thirty eight,” said
“Zat right time?” I asked.
“H etc ha life” replied Jimmy. 4
\\ Hiked on down to Lumen s Drug
Store and encountered Hoc. cornin'!
out of the fron.t door in a hurry.
"Say, Doc.” I yelled, as he brusih
“See you in a minute." said Dor.
"I’m late—had a date Tor 10:15 and
here it >s nearly 10:30 already.”
Ileat it foa* the office then—looked
at the dock on the wall—that faith
ful piece of machinery insisted it way
3 o’clock. They will not continue
to operate unless someone winds
them .*ccaaionoiHy. At this juncture*
the Boss walked into the office and
I walled at him. "What time is it?"
Fumbling in his pocket he re- #
marked. "Left muh watch in muh
other clothes.”
Now. the afterclap of all this fool
ishness is that Nome has a clock for
which good American dollars was
paid, and it stands in a position
where everyone on Front Street can
see it. and it seems that with vary
little trouble this timepiece, which
is located in front of the Segerstrom
& Hagen Jewerery Store, could bo
kept set to Standard time and every
one would have near the same time
in Nome. The way it is. if a fellow
is invited out he may get there oe- p
fore the hostess has the pot on. or
he may get there just in time to turn
out the lights for the head of the
house when that iiidividuaJ is' retir-*
ing for the night. Never can tell—
strange things happen when clocks
do not keep the same time.
