JUDGE BARNES AND JOURNALISM
A Curious Side of an Acute and Vel
 Balanced Mind.

Now there is Judge Barnes of Tue son. There is not a more acute lawyer in the territory and on most subjects there is not man of mere discrimi- hating mind. His long and careful training as a lawyer and his service on the bench have peculiarly fitted him for a discernment of the true and the false. separation of the prob able from the unreasonable But every man. however strong. has a weakness, yet a palpable weakness n man like Judge Barnes is more or less astounding. So it created rip pie of surprise in this office on Thurs day night when Judge Barnes dropped in, sat down at the telegraph editors desk and began to give his views on journalism, winding rp with the paralyzing judgment that the New York Journal is the greatest paper on earth. It is, said the judge, not only the most energetic, but the most re- liable. Everything it has described has been verified. It was true the judge admitted that it had related events that had not occurred, but they did occur afterward. Next to the Journal, the judge believed the San Francisco Examiner was the noblest exponent of up-to-date journalism. It Is no use to enter into an argument with a man who maintains the theory that the moon is composed of green cheese, so nobody contradicted the judge, who Lad just disclosed a new phase of himself
 But reporter was detailed tc shadow him and make a study of him yesterday. Immediately after breakfast the judge was found oceu- pying a position in front of the Call and Times bulletin boards, reading H. B. St. Claire'S home made and reliable dispatches about the war. He grew more and more excited, and when MT St. Claire began to lag in his work, or sent bulletins of an unimportant char acter, he became impatient at the progress of events. He remained in the vicinity of the bulletins the greater part of the day.
 Sheriff Leatherwood, Judge Sattcf- white and Col. Black, all of Tucson, came to town and were asked regard ing Judge Barnes predilection in favor of the New York Journal. They all knew about it and admitted the strangeness of the vagary. Sheriff Leatherwood said the judge was not a subscriber of the Journal, but he regularly bought the Sunday issue and was captivated by the many colored and sensational pictures which he be- lieved was the only part of the Journal the judge ever read. sdJ
 From these pictures alone he made up his estimate of the Journals excel fence. The study of those pictures af- forded him his only mental diversion from musty books of law over which he bored the rest of the week.

TRUTH ABOUT SKAGUAY.
The Republican Man Sees and Tells It
 Straight

Skaguay, Alaska, April 24.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican J. I have been over the White pass or Skaguay trail as far as the summit and so have finally arrived at the truth in regard to this much discussed route. It is a strange fact that re- ports of the trail, its condition and practicability are almost as conflicting g in Skaguay as in Seattle The reason for this is not difficult to find-the trip fror1 here to the summit is at best a very hard one-and for man unused to hard labor, lo pack from fifty to seventy pounds upon his back, must be a heart-breaking- almost an impossible task. Many of them have to give it up; and they naturally en- large upon the difficulties of the t. ail On the other hand the packers who use animals find no difficulties ex- cept such as occur always on noun tain trails and roads.
 I took my pack train to the sum- init day before yesterday, in five and a half hours, without single stop or any sort of difficulty, save that my feet weighed about 100 pounds each when I got there, and I felt as though I'd been through a prize fight and been jolly well licked.
 The road is an accomplished fact and much credit is due to MT. Brack- cit for it's construction. It has been built continuously from Skaguay tc within five miles of the summit Parl of it is heavily ballasted with granite rock; part is good solid corduroy About five miles in all, is of the nat ural soil-and this is being rapidly covered with corduroy. This road is thronged with wagons, pack trains and men packing leads on their backs. It is pitiful to see these men the sweat rolling off them in spite Of the cold-their faces white and drawn with fatigue. Many a case of heart disease will result from this years work on the trails. For though this trail is good, the footing is very bad. Corduroy is very hard to walk over and where the road is ballasted, it is with loose granite rocks the size of a mans fist. Dozens Of wagons are ply ing on this road. But pack trains oiHpiy Sdii Ofcl lOIl IhO Oho VI the road to the summit it is snow, and beyond the summit to Lake Bennett am told that it is all snow, though I have not seen it myself yet. The price of transportation from here to Bennett is 15 cents pound, and with an upward tendency, since more freight is coming in now than for some weeks past.
 Skaguay itself is a very decent little town. There is very little law here, but a great deal of order. One sees Klondykers from the east wearing new cartridge belts and new six shooters when they first land-but
