GUGGENHEIMS AFTER ALL IN
THE NORTH
According to a Vancouver (I!. dis-1
l>ati'li the (fUggenhciins have smirn!
control of the White l*ass and Yukon
railway and steamboat lines and will
direct their operation in future. They
already control the Northwestern
Steamship 1'ompanv's boats on the l’a
cilic and w ill increase the fleet by add
ing a line of steamships to run between
Seattle and Vancouver and Skagway,
with an additional river line to St.
Michael, placing all of Yukon territory
and Alaska at their feet in matters of
transportation. They now own most of
the Klondike placer ground and are
largely interested in Alaska mines, anti
are probably today the greatest factor
to be reckoned with in the north.
May Investigate Gu^genheims.
Washington, Feb. 2.—As a result of a
declaration by Andrew F. Burleigh, who
is here in the interest of an Alaska rail
road, that all the opposition to govern
ment assistance for railroads in Alaska
comes from the tlnggenheims, who are
hoping to corner all the copper proper
ties in the territory, the senate has de
clared that if Mr. Burleigh will prove
his assertions the government will insti
tute an investigation.
WIGKERSHAM WILL REMAIN
IN OFFICE
\<>tuithstasding tlif jrr* ;it hullaballoo
that lias In-fit kept up liv a few noise
makers for a couple of months, Judge
Wiekersham will remain the judge of
the federal court in this district.
Felt, o he received a w ire from the
attorney general of the I'nited state
outlining his work for the next six
months. If there was any doubt as to
the intentions of President Uoosevelt
regarding the appointment of Judge
Wiekersham it is not at all probable
that the department of justice would
instruct the judge as to w hat he shall do
ls-\ond the end of the present session of
congress to say the most.
In his wire the attorney general in
structed Judge Wiekersham to arrange
for holding a term of court at Valdcn on
lux way to Juneau. This Judge Wick
ers ham had already done, and the de
partment was so advised by him.
The Fairbanks News is authority that
Judge Wiekershani, accompanied by
Mrs. Wiekersham, was to leave Feb. 17
and would open a term of court at Val
dez March 4. The judge was not to
adjourt court at Fairbanks on his de
parture: Judge tiumtison, when he ar
rives. will simply continue the present
term.
There is an accumulation of business
at Valdez which Judge Wickershain will
dispose of licfore proceeding to Juneau
t>> -it in some cases in place of Judge
• •unnison.
l>i-triet Vttoriiey V V. Harlan ho|>cs
