The Judges Residence.

We fear that the action of Gov. Bra dy in getting an amendment to the Alaska bill providing for the residence of the judge at Sitka will result in the legislation going over this session of congress. What reasonable excuse the governor eau make for securing legis- lation that Will make the judge inac- cessable to the attorneys and litigants of the district is a matter which he may be able to explain to the peO- ole of Sitka. but never to those who have the greatest interest m the mat. ter. Sitka does not furnish five per cent of the litigation. of the territory that is to comprise tue new district-so instituted at that place that the dis trict attorney is the only lawyer there. Several lawyers have located there dur ing the past two or three years, but they were promptly starved out for lack of business.
 While the writer was at Wrangel be was required to go to Sitka to defend a few motions and demurrerS. The eX- pense of the trip for boat fare alone was forty dollars, and on one trip the boat arrived on Sunday, and to accom- modate the attorneys the judge held court from twelve o'clock until five in the morning. If be had not held court during that time five or six attorneys would have been compelled to have re- mained in that sleepy, God forsaken town from one to two weeks. There's not day passes that the Juneau, Wrangel, or Skaguay lawyers do not want some order or present some mat ter to the judge and if he was located at either one of the three places named he could be reached by some of the many boats shat travel between these towns, but locate him at Sitka, and with the present mail service and expense of getting there, the litigants. are simply outrageously treated, and if Gov. Brady is endeavorirg to locate the judge at Sitka as is. represented, he is simply misrepresentiuG instead of rep resenting the people.

Fast Marrying To and Fro. Jack Mcdonald
 Fire.

Fast Hurrying To and Fro. Jack McDona'd's 9
 Fire.
 Last Monday is regarded as the cold est day for this winter, but we doubt such being the case. However it was cold enough to suit everybody, and pe- destrians lost no time in going from place to place. A News reporter wGs dispatched to Jack MCDonald's place of business to write Rp his fire. Jacks stove is notorious i'll Douglas City and the heat would be too if there was more of it. The stove is patient old thing and so is Jack, and he pOkes away at it never thinking for minute of ever getting yeXed. On entering the front door the writer discovered the middle door closed and the curtain drawn over the glass in the upper part. Everything was still as the gravezwe thought the place was deserted-nOt a sound did we hear. We opened the door and bulldog came to bid us en- ter. Once inside we beheld ten or twelve men huddled around the stove, each one seemingly trying to get near CT to it, which was only faintly emit ting heat. There sat Jack with a pen sive look on his countenance. Kerry the sawmil man was in deep thought, no doubt lamenting the mutability of human affairs. The foot racer, we for get his name, was doubled up like a jack knife, and frequently changed sides to the stove. Two boys were on one chair clasped in each others em- brace The News man finally broke the silence by speaking of the cold snap. We were met with prompt re- buke. and TO one would admit that it was cold. Not wishing any trouble to arise from disputing over the condi- ton of the weather the News man withdrew, leaving Jack with his com forters, like Job of old.

AN EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.

A Movement on Foot to Affect ar Organization
 The Juneau and Douglas City editors have informally discussed the question of organizing an editorial association in this district and we are of the opin- ion that such move would and cer- tainly should meet with the approval of every editor and publisher in Alaska. As Juneau is the most centrally located city. being about midway between Fort Wrangel and Skaguay, we suggest it as the location of our first meeting.
 We have good reason to believe that free transportation will be provided for the editors and their wives, and ho- tel bills will be naid, so that those at tending from a distance will not need to hesitate on the score of expense; and upon these conditions we will ask the editors of Alaska to give us an eXpres- sion of opinion on the subject, either in their papers, or by private letter to the editors of the News, or both, in which suggestions as to the time of meeting are also desired

Oyea and the Canadians.

The Dyea Press does not seem to take unkindly to the proposition of making that place a Canadian town. The Press man can readily see the ad- vantages the city would gain by be coming the only port of entry for our neighbors across the line. Alaskans as rule are not making any serious ob- iectionS to the loss of town or two if we gain in other respects. We are about as much interested in the mat ter as anyone, and if AIaskans are sat isfied with such a deal it makes but little difference whether the Pacific coast towns like it or not. Seattle has been getting a great deal of trade that properly belonged to Alaska mer- chants, but such a condition of affairs will not IasPmuch longer, for the peo- pie are getting onto the Seattle sidea" very rapidly.

Recently the man was hooked by the COW, and be is now sueing his son-in-law for dam ages.

TIE TAXu TRAIL.
W. drey's Opinion of the New ROut,

W. NIey V NplIlAoh UT lhS INS' hNVH'N' Victoria Times,
 ". Grey has just returned from Atlin after an inspection trip of the Ia su trail, from Juneau to Atlin. Mir. Grey represents Canadian capital inves- ted in stern-wheel steamboats and i'll horses which did not operate on the Stikine river and trail from Wrangel last winter owing to the failure of the trail. He says the Taku is an easy trail to traverse There is no summit to cross, aud with broken trail he says that a team can haul three tons OH the ice all day long, the ascent being scarcely perceptible. He proposes to establish relay posts from the mouth of the river to Atlin, where fresh horses can be had for pack trains. by which means he expects to run steamers on the river in the spring when the ice breaks up. There is plenty of grass on the trail for horses in the summer time. Small steamers now leave Juneau every few days with parties for the Taku trail.

To People Who Have Called

The doctor has learned that
many people who have called would
fully appreciate employing his SER
vices, but that II was impossible
for them to pay what he asked.
To those who have called on him
and who have been obliged TO give
UP having the work done on ac-
count OF the price he extends n
special invitation, with the assur-
ance that II their case seriously
demands his skill he will give
them the benefit OF a liberal dis
count on the price quoted them
and also time in which to pay for
same.
A professional busybody who
may know absolutely nothing about
the subject under discussion. but
who Ia always ready to offer adj
vice Is apt to md plenty OF peo-
pie to listen to his arguments, even
though II may be at the cost OF
their precious eyesight.
Not being q native OF this state,
DR.. Seymour has not been EXEMPT
from the criticism which Is always
so freely bestowed upon an out
slider. hui II does seem to
thoughtful person as II n matter OF
such vital Importance should not
be placed on the same basis as an
ordinary business transaction until
they have thoroughly investigated
the merits OF the case.
The doctor has given every per-
son who has called at his offices;
tho privilege OF consultation and
IN many cases. OF examination, be-
fore offering his advice.
During his twelve weeks atay
hundreds OF people have employed
his services, and the following let
