THOSE AUTOMOBILES.
Not Likely to Make a Big Record
 This Season.

lt was unfortunate for the Frenehmen who brought the automobile all the way from Paris to find upon arrival here that the trail was bad for a good test ot their machines in a trip to Dawson. E. Janne | .amare is one of the pioneers of Alaska. He showed his belief in the future of the country by buying sixty town lots in AL lin. and he has also interested himself in some of the largest hydraulic propositions in that country.
 He went over on the train yesterdav morning with an automobile weighing '2s pounds. md an au,otyele for his partner and brother in law; Raphael Merveille, to endeavor to make the trip to Dawson with the new motor.
 t Is worked by gasoline, and the motor has attached to it d sled which carries some sixty gallons of gasoline and other supplies and also duplicates Of the maehln- cry of the motor, in all weighing three hundred pounds,
 Mr. Lamaue said that across the lakes he thought he could made from 90 to s miles an hour. but for the trip to Dawson he could not make any speculation as he understood the trail was bad.
 The autocyele Is to be ridden bv MT. 1 Merville. as he has the idea that it Is pos sible he may go ahead and reach Dawson in quicker time than the automobile.
 His machine has two wheels, between which the manipulItor sits, and one wheel some three feet in front, by which the machine Is Steered.

Both are Leaving the City
 Bound for Nome.
PAY ONE GOOD SALARY
And Select Man Who Wnl Devote the Whole of His Time to the BuSi- ness of the Department, is What is Now Suggested.

Fire Chief Richard Fleming has decided to resign and go 10 Nome, and Harry HelneS, the fire warden, Is also talking of leaving the city, probably for the same place. Confronted by this situation and the tact that the agreement among mer chants for the monthly subscription of funds for the support of the fire depart ment for a certain time will expire May [, there Is considerable speculation as to just how this important city department Is to be managed and maintained.
 A feeling prevails among merchants and others of the eitv that a good active fire chief should be selected. and that he should be such a man as will be able to devote his entire time to the work and take care of and repair apparatus and hy- drantS as well as to be on hand at the time ot fires, and that he should be given a reasonable salary, perhaps stoo q month.
 Harry Sinclair, captain of Hose Co. No, ?, has been suggested by many for the position. He has had several ye,rS ex> perienee m the Portland paid department and Is vouched for by his friends as a com petent. industrious and sober man.
 Assistant fire chief Lowe was asked yes ,erday fl he asplred to the chieftainship of the department, and he replied that should the boys N ant him for chief he would ac- eept. Asked further fl he would give up his business and devote his time wholly to the department, he said he could not do that.
 There Is a feeling among members of Hose Co. No. ? that whoever IS selected chief should be selected by the fremen, and not by the city council or any other body. In the discussion of this matter Frank Burns and E. N. Sessions heartily champion the selection of chief by the fire boys.
 City councilman Lilly slss approves of the selection of a chief bv the tirsmen.
 "As it is," said Assistant Lowe, yester- day, "the fire chief gets S7S a month, and the fire warden gets the same. Several months ago the citizens slgred a circular agreeing to pay a monthly assessment of SO much for the salaries of these two men until May [. Now that this time Is about to expire something will have to be done looking toward the renewal of the pledges O. some other scheme devised 10 raise the salary fund.
 "The fremen are willing to fight fire without salary, but they have not time to attend to the putting away and the wash ing of hose, the fixing of hydrants and other equipment, and for this reason we need to maintain our salaried part of th' department.
 Further, there Is need of one or two more hydrantS, and these will cost money. A hvdrant should be put in right now on Broadway, on the corner where the Home bakery stands"
 The fire warden and Bob Lirkin, of the Hook & Ladder Co, were out working on hvdrants yesterdaY. Mr. HelneS reports that new brasses have been put in all the hydrants. and that half the hvdrants have been supplied with packing.

ALASKA NON HAS
 NO DISTRICT JUDGE Johnson Left and Brown Is
 Not Coming.
IS OVER THE AGE LIMIT
Attornsys Go to Sitka and Find No Judge rhere--Juneau Gives Mr. Joh.son a Banquet and a Gold Watch on His Departure.

Deputy Marshal ]. N. Tanner who re- turned last evening from Sitka by way of Juneau, brings news that the entire diS- trict Of Alaska Is without district judge, and there $ TO telling when it may have one, and consequently no telling when there will be another term of court. The marshal says;
 Not long ago Judge Johnson received a letter of instructions that he might finish work ln hand and consider himself re' leased from the bench March 3I. This he did, and Is on his way to Seattle.
 However, there Is no one in Alaska to succeed Judge Johnson. Attorneys who went from Juneau and Skogwav on the last Cottage City found no one on the bench, and had to come back home disap- pointed in their missions.
 "t Is reported that Judge Melville C. Brown who was named for successor Of Judge Johnson. got rart Of the way here, and turned back or refused Co start at all becauSe he Is more than 90 yeas ot age and in the pending Carter code for Alaska there Is a clause providing that no one more than 30 wears old will be eligible to the district iudgeShip.
 "The members Of the Junelu bar gave a biz banquet at Juneau last night n honor of Judge Johnson, and during the feast presented with a gold watch and chain. The juige Jeff Juneau on the DirigO fo' the Sound"

FOUR NEW MINISTER"

The special return engagement of Our New Minister on Monday even ing at Polls is likely to prove one of the genuine successes of the season. When presented here two weeks ago it made such an impression that it has been talked of on all sides since as one of the most attractive rural come dies ever produced on the local stage. It is in this play that appears William McEay, the brilliant actor who is such an exact counterpart of William J. Bryan, resembling him in face, figure, expression and manners to d wonder ful degree. MT McVay plays the title role and is an actor of exceptional abil- ity. The play itself is one of the most natural imaginable, dealing with every day characters ill a New England vil- lage as only it's authors, who wrote "The Old Homestead" know how to do. It is play that every one should see, for it is one that leaves the most fragrant memories for its delft and dainty touches of pathos and comedy Seats went on sale this morning at 25, 8, 90, D cents and S1.

other. who followed somewhat o1n- dently, was a young lieutenant of in- fantry, whose trim frock coat snugly fitted his slender figure.
 "Ah, sit down here, Mr.-Mr. Loom is,' said the major, patronizingly. "So you are going up to the Big Horn. We'll, sir, I hope we shall hear good ec- counts of you. There's splendid field for officers of the right sort-there- and opportunities for distinction every day"
 At sound of the staff officers voice there reused up from the opposite sec tion, where he had been dczing over a paper, a man of middle age, slim, ath- letic, with heavy mustache and inl- perial, just beginning to turn gray, with deep-str eyes under bushy brows, and a keen face, rather deeply lined. There was look of dissipation there, a shade of fshaobiness about his clothes, a rakish cut to the entire personality that caused Folsom to glance distrustfully at him more than once the previous afternoon, and to meet with coldness the tentatives permissible in fellow travellers. The strangers morning had been lonesome. Now he held his newspaper where it would partly shield his face, yet permit his watching the officers across the aisle. And some thing in his stealthy scrutiny attracted Pappoose.
 ''Yes," continued the major, II have seen great deal of that country, and MT. Dean, of whom you spoke, was at tached to the troop escorting our con- mission. He is hardly-I regret to have to say it--er-what you imagine. We were, to put it mildly, much disap- pointed in his conduct the day Of our meeting with the Sioux"
 A swift, surprised glance passed be- tween the girls, Q pained look shot into the lieutenant's face, but before the major could go on the man across the aisle arose and bent over him with extended hand.
 "Ah, Burleigh, thought knew the voice." But the hand was not grasped. The major was drawing back, his face growing yellow-white. with some strange dismay.
 "You don't seem sure of my identity. Let me refresh your memory, Bur leigh. I am Capt. Newhall. see you need drink, rnajor-1'n take one with you"
