Alaska's New Judge.

Judge Brown, the new district judge, will leave Seattle about May lst, is the private information that reached this city on the Cottage City. It is believed that he will come to Juneau on the next trip of the City of Seattle and will spend several days in Juneau and Skag- way getting familiar with the condi- tions of cOnrt affairs before going to Sitka. A late arrival who knows the new juoge speaks highly of him as a lawyer and expresses the opinion that he will fill his position with credit to the state from where he received his appointment.

CHANGING POLITICS.
All the Summit Snow Birds Prepar-
 ing to Vote for Joe Martin.

Deputy Collector of Customs An drews who returned Wednesday from visit to the summit brings back lit tie story that may be of interest to or nitholigists as to the peculiarties of the snow birds of the region. lie says that it appears that the snowbirds of the summit are changing from a snowy white to brown, similar to that of the rocks of the surrounding country. These birds are apparently taking on the hues of their environment, as do the ptarmigan.
 MT Andrews says that there must be as many as fifteen or twenty snow birds living at the summit. While there he took number of pictures of the birds and at the same time got a few grand scenic views.

GAR BUILDING ACTIVE.
Seventy-Avs Men Employed in Skag-
 ways Machine Shops.

The White Pass & Yukon has just doubled the capacity of its Skagwav ma chine shops and Is now turning out at this point nearly all the material used in its busy shops in construction of new rolling stock. Master Mechanic Van Cleve has now force of s men at work.
 These are turning out csr day. They have been busy on new freight cars for many weeks, and are now building flat cars.
 Work will be begun next week on an order for twenty new stock cars. A large amount of lumber for these arrived on the barge Shirley few days ago.
 New locomotives will soon arrive for the road. and the company Is preparing to have rolling stock ready for use on the en- tire length of the road from Skagwav through to White Horse as soon as the road opens, as well as for that part of the road now in daily use from this point to Bennett.
 The locomotives that are coming include some of the latest and most favorablv known makes of any made in America.
 Those now in use, with one exception, have been worked so continuously the last several months and through the entire hard and trying winter. that they are in need of repair. Two of them are being built over at the shops. New boilers for these arrived short time ago.
 With the opening of the railroad to White Horse this summer, the company will have more than twice as much mileage in operation as it had last winter, and will therefore need greater number of cars, and work at the shops will be cor respon dingly increased.

TRADE WITH DAWSON.

With schedule on freight which the railroad claims favors this city in it's commerce with Dawson, the increase of trade with the interior ought to be ma terialy increased this summer. What will help in this connection, during the summer months at least, is the fact that the Canadian government is now considering, and will in all probability adopt, an arrangement with the United States govt rnment to carry registered merchandise in lhe mail. This will be great boon to the people not only of Dawson but of the American towns to the north of that point, who will thus be able to order any small article there unobtainable and have it delivered by return mail. It ought also to develop a good business in this city.

BEHIND IN POLITICS.

Although Skagway proudly boasts of being ahead of all Alaska in most things, she will have to confess that she is somewhat laggard in the matter of politics as compared with places of not SO great an importance at present but which may grow like the beanstalk in the fable The republicans of Haines have held their primaries and selected their delegates to the Juneau conven- tion; the democrats of Porcupine have held their primaries also and elected their delegation to the Juneau conyen- tiOn.
 Also the democrats of Nome took time by the fo:elock and elected their delegates early in February, quite number of them, in view of the number they are entitled to. But none of these delegates are to attend the Juneau con vention. They arc too busy digging gold, or hope to be at about that time, so they have forwarded their proxies with definite instructions as to what they are to be used for.
 The platform the Nome democrats have adopted, and which bind the prox- ies, are curious. Here, for instance, are hand of brave men who are ex- banding the productiveness of the United States territory, who solemnly and emphatically protest against Amer ican expansion in the Philippines. That is one peculiar thing.
 Here is another. These men are miners, on what they claim is the rich est gold bearing gravel of the world. They all hope to bring out millions of gold this season, or in subsequent sea sens, yet they all that is, all the Dem. ocrats- solemnly vote to cheapen their product by declaring their support of the shibboleth of "16 to l." And with equal solemnity they firmly support Bryan, the chosen standard bearer of the silver miners of Nebraska.
 That these going-to-be milliOnaires should favor an income tax transcen- dends everything in the " History of Successful Men of America" and that they should protest against trusts is also little unexpected.
 But it simply shows how the bracing air of the far north purges from the mental system the germs of sordid sell fishness of politics for personal gain, and thus permits the free growth of grand and lofty patriotism.

THOSE RICH REINDEER CLAIMS

No wonder Senator Stewart is against the Nome mining law which wipes out the claims staked by the Laplanders sent there at government expense to herd Shellgame Jaekson's reindeer. "There's millions in it." For not only were these imported and unnaturalized foreigners used for the purpose of cheating the enterprsng Amer iean miner, but the reindeer themselves, all that was left of the herd, were given good American names and in those names staked claims on every one of the many creeks as we'll as the beach.
 It is believed that these reindeer never signed away these claims, and, therefore, when 1t comes to court of law, the pres- ent owner will be unable to prove any transfer from the original locator. It is also held that the claims of tine Lapland- CTS, who were naturalized at the same time

THE MINING CONGRESS.

Acting Governor Elliot was pleased to appoint, by virtue of his authority, several gentlemen from this city 9s del egates to the international mining con- gress to be held in Milwaukee June l5, but, sad to say, none of those appointed, so far as known, are able to leave their businesses or professions and to pay their own expenses to Mil vaukee and back and a weeks stay there.
 No doubt it will be an important gathering and Skagway ought to be represented there. The middle of June is just the time, however, when the miners of Skagway arc too busy to get away. Some of them will be out hunts ing for grub stake: others who have secured claim already and developed it, will be trying to raise the necessary capital to purchase lawn mower about that time: others, with rocks enough to through at all the birds in Alaska, will be still carrying these rocks in their pockets in the hope of hitting a capital ists. None of these could possibly get away.
 As to the mine owners of Skagway, the idea of leaving one's ground just when the hatchet and pencil prospector starts out is not to be thought of. Be- sides which, the Klondike clean-up will take place about that time, and specu- lation on the amount of gold dust pass ing through the city will engage every ones attention to the exclusion of everything else.
 It is sad that we have no delegates to send. We could spare the men who talk all through the winter about pros pecting and when the snow melts take to saving wood for living. but they would not go as Skagway civilization has taught them higher ambitions than to ride on brake beam. And we have too few of these, anyway. to form rep resentative delegation.
