SENDING PETS TO ALASKA
It will not surprise any observing
man if the cable story proves true
that the president will piek an eastern
man forJudge Wickersham s place on
the Alaska bench. Very likely it will
be some lawyer s clerk, whose patron
wants to give him a boost. Pndoubled
lv the man will be some politician's
pot. That has been President Roose
velt's rule in selecting federal judges.
In his judicial appointments the
president has displayed about as much
judgment as a rabbit anil as much re
gard for the dignity of the bench as a
ward politician. Over and over again
he has appointed cheap lawyers to the
bench in great cities against whose
selection almost the entire bar pro
tested, and did so for no other appar
ent reason than that it appeared to be
good politics for Roosevelt.
As an exception to his rule in choice
of judges the president has kept Judge
Wickersham on tin- bench, an act
which met the approval of nine-tenths
of the people of the judicial division to
which the judge is assigned. Now that
Judge Wickersham insist son resigning
it may naturally be expected that the
president will replace him by a legal
tyro from east of the Alleghanies in
stead of a capable Alaska man.
The new strike on Valdez creek is
another proof of the richness of the
Susitna valley. \ aide/, creek is a
tribuary of the Susitna river and
placer claims in that district have
yielded lame return-for a numdcr of
years The shortest route to these
diyyins is via Seward. the trip can
be made from Took Inlet in one third
the time and at half the evpen-e and
tiuru ttiu K umi u is maue ii'om \ artcae.
When the railroad is completed to
Campbell point the traffic and travel
will all yo throuyh Seward. Cook
Inlet merchants could do till the
outtittiny for Valdez creek and other
Upper tribu!arms of the Susitna river
if they would only wake up and carry
a stock of yoods.
If the Alaska Coast Company does
not want to take passenyers out of
Seward the Northwestern Steamship
Companv wii no doubt carry ail that
offer, iiut the Alaska t >ast miyht
help Us standiny by i.otifyiry reyular
po: ts of c:«i whence* r the determi

The news fr 1:1 Washington that the
Hie of the Moiu-r is to he made more

years 'i y have had to. work on trails
ami telegraph lire's m all kinds of
weather, and yet. got no extra pay for
the same.
Texas can now boast proudly of a
female boxer who knocked out a scrap
per in petticoats from England. Texas
was due to show class in something.
The prosecution always threatens
the defense with Abe Ruef in the San
Francisco graft trials but always
forgets to put him on tbe stand.
The Arctic Brotherhood will organ

ladies can break into the low jinks
as well as the high jinks.
