learned chat she is graduate of Carol

in Marinette county. At the beginning
of vacation she conceived the idea that
it would be easy to earn money as a
waitress and that the experience would
prove novel one. Her strange sur
roundings and the discovery that she
was not giving satisfaction in this voca-

life took possession of her.

The Nome nugget. (Nome, Alaska) 1901-1904, 1904-06-04
AS TO FEDERAL TIMBER.

According to the latest advices received
from the outside a lively fight was being
waged against the reappointment of Judge
Wickersham to the third judicial division,
and Judge Brown, too, was being opposed
in somewhat strenuous manner.
Alaska has been almost uniformly UNI
fortunate in her judiciary. A strong man
has been appointed once in while, by acct
dent it may be presumed, for, as II rule, the
attorney of some provincial town, who
could scarcely make living at home, and
with senator or representative in congress,
was given the position. And the people of
Alaska have invariably suffered. Incompe-
tent, narrow minded, weak and vacilating
judges have been appointed too frequently
for the districts good Men of the narrow
est, smallest prejudices, not broad enough
to think for themselves or use their own
they have been utterly incapable to fill by
birth, breeding, education or temperament
1t is such men who invariably receive their
impressions through the spectacles of some
miserable toady, with his own axes to grind
and his devious purposes to subserve.
Kitchen cabinets have directed affairs very
frequently. The reign of Judge Noyes will
not soon be forgotten the kitchen cabinet
then was supreme. And yet Judge Noyes,
in many respects, was strong man. He
had brains of his own, and had he used
them, instead of listening to bad advisers,
his career in Nome might have terminated
very differently from what it did. The case
of Judge Bugbee, of Southeastern Alaska,
is still remembered by few Alaskans; he,
too, was removed from office, not because
he was incompetent, but because he was
arbitrary and his views and opinions were
based quite often upon what is termed
"hearsay evidence"
Incompetent, narrow minded, prejudiced
individuals, who cannot broaden by reason
of their former environments, will continue
to be sent to Alaska to fill federal positions
as long as the carpet bag" system is toll
Grated. And perforce the people must
make the best of the situation and bear
their woes with as much patience and forti-
tude as they can command.
