Washington, March s.-Much com

Justice against the eXorbitant fees ex-
acted in the federal district and COM

The fees for process serving and the
other court costs were formerly moder-
ate but they were advanced after 1900.
This was the brilliant work of G. a. 5.

1900 and who was sentenced to Jail for
contempt of court at the time OF the

many cases being so high as to prohibit
poor defendants from taking appeals.

Seattle, March l0.-Alaska will be

past II years have been directed to-

that country. TakiGg no note of the
several short lines now constructed, he
predicts that five other roads will be
built in the near future, possibly with
in the next decade, all merging into a
grand trunk crossing Seward peninsula.
He prophesies that tunnel Will be
built under Bering strait to a cOnnec-
ton with the TRANSIT berian road, thus

across the Seward peninsula. All of
these roads will merge into grand
