United States District Attorney
Rodey, of Nome, a while before bis
resignation was called for, gave out tbe
following opinion of the laws passed by
tbe territorial legislature: "The or
ganic aot by which Alaska was given its
legislature provides that no one hold
ing a commission as office holder from i
the United States iu Alaska should
hold any office under the territory, yet
the legislature has passed several laws
imposing additional duties on clerks of
courts, commissioners and others, and
the question arises, is such a law valid i
or should the territory create officials
for itself. The orgauio act also restricts
the local legislature from meddling
with certain national license laws, etc.,!
now in force iu Alaska and among them
the laws providing for taxes on busi
ness and trade, but it also states that
this proviso shall not operate to pre
vent the legislature from imposing
other or additional taxes or licenses.
Tbe legislature went on and imposed
many new taxes and additional taxes
and sometimes on the same things on
which congress had alicady imposed
taxes without saying whether they are;
separate or include the congressional
ones, and provides that tbe clerks of
! tbe court shall collect them as they
oolleot other lioenses. All of this bas
resulted in grave doubt as to tbe valid
ity of some of the local laws and ie
puzzling not only tbe local district i
attorneys but the department of justice
itself and the latter will have to advise
the customs officials about the tonnage
tax and other matters." There was
only one thiug that the legislature
very soon decided they could not
molest. That was tbe big corporation
fish traps. Tbey were held saored.
That one of the numerous earth-:
quakes which were felt iu this vicinity
during 1912 wa9 responsible for chang
ing the course of a glacial spring at
Olnes is the opinion of many residents j
of this distiict, who formerly obtained
their wHter supply from the water
spout. Tho spring was located withiu
a short distauce of- the Olnes railroad
station, and wi'hout aDy apparent
cause suddenly discontinued throwing j
forth water. Although the railroad of
ficials tried Hgain to find the water
vein, their efforts were iu vain, and the
water sopply from that source was cut
off eutirely. Shortly afterward a new
flow of water broke forth about 500 feet j
from tbe station, and it is thought that j
it is the same stream that shifted its
course. Manager Joynt, of the Tanana
Valley railroad, is now installing a
power pump that will bring the water
to the station, and therH>y Have the
long haul that was occasioned by the
work of nature. ? Fairbanks Tiroes.

OAK OLSON, Representative
The smallness of the wovld cad be
brought home to mind by the thought
of the extent of the country which lies
nearest to this part of Alaska ? Russia,
From Bering straits one need travel
just through that one land and reaob
China, Pereiat Austria and Scandinavia.
That one couutry connects, one might
say, our own famed Kotzebue sound, or,
anyway, the Diomede islands, and their
walrus hunting Capseuioks and Peluks,
with the land of Omar, the dominion of
Coufucius, the home of the Gotbs and
Huns, and the race that discovered
Anvil creek. Around that one country
are the civilizations of the Orient and
the Occident. Across a strip of water
to the south may be seen the glimmer
of the lights of the mosques of Con
stantinople aud the Sublime Porte and
the Turkish gunboats in the Dardan
elles, while aoros9 a strip of water to
North can be seen the igloos of Teller
city and Shismareff and the lights of
the Mary Sachs that went through more
vicissitudes than auy old Turkish gun
boat, by the way. ? Nome Nugget.
The use of the divining rod Id locat
ing water and metal deposits is dae to
a superstitious delusion aud will grad
Dally be abandoned in the opiuion of
Dean Milnor Roberts of the University
of Washington school of mines. Bos
ton officials have recently taken up the
use of the Y-shaped twig to locate
water and seem to be firm in the belief
that the theory of the divining rod is
still firm. "I have no faith in the di
ving rod," said Dean Roberts. "A man
will obtain a Y-shaped branch of hazel
wood or willow and grip the two ends
with his thumbs down. When the ter
minal end dips they swear that it is be
cause the water is below, aud that these
water loving woods have a natural af
finity for it, consequently they dive
down. 1 think the real cause for the
stick to dip is purely a muscular ac
tion, and that when you grip the wood
hard you unconsciously cause it to
vibrate up 01- down. There id no ques
tion that a divining rod will point.
The idea is that It is uot water that is
attracting the stick, but simply the
unconscious muscular movement of
your arm."
Belittling the Job
A farmer in great need of extra bands
at baying time finally asked Si Warren,
who was accounted the town fool, if be
would belp him out.
uWbat'll ye pay?" asked Si.
"I'll pay what you're worth," answer
ed the farmer.
Si scratched bis nead a minute, then
announced decisively:
"I'll be darned if I'll work for that."
