The Nome nugget., 1904-05-18
Mr.. CLARk'S PIPE DREAMS.

A Washington City dispatch, published
in the last issue of this paper, animadverted
against the 'exorbitant fees exacted in the
Nome judicial district" The animadversion
might have been timely had the writer of
the dispatch shown that he was in any way
competent to speak of the matter The au
thor of the telegram is one Walter E. Clark
the Washington City correspondent of the
Seattle Post -Intelligencer, man who is
possessed of more transformation concern
ing Alaska than the average newspaper
to Nome in the spring of 1900 as an alleged
correspondent for the New York Sun
Since that time he has betrayed, at in
tervals, his absolute lack of knowledge on
all matters appertaining to the district. He
has at all times professed to speak ex
cathedra when referring to Alaska or it's
concerns, and ninety seven times out of one
hundred he has been in error. His fore
casts and predictions are nearly always
wrong, and although he processes, like
most penny a-liners, to be the sole pos
SCISSOR of ''nsde information the stuff
that he sends out to the Pacific coast news
paper is only remarkable for the ignorance
which it displays and the Grass stupidity of
the correspondent Mr.. Clark may be a
brilliant newspaper man, but if he has ac-
CURED that distinction he is in grave danger
of being classed among the yellow fakirs of
the present time.
In referring to the court fees charged in
this judicial division Mr.. Clark tries to
make it appear that the fees are in excess
of those charged in the third Tor Yukon)
judicial division, and that the Judge of the
court of the second judicial division is re-
sponsble therefor AS a matter of fact the
fees in all the judicial divisions of Alaska
are fixed by the Department of Justice, and
not by the judges 1t is also fact that the
court fees in the Yukon division, to which
Mr.. Clark directs attention, are exactly the
same as in the second division, notwith-
standing that Valdez and Dutch Harbor, in
the third division, are so situated that the
expenses of living and administering the
laws are much less than in Nome. The
cost of conducting court, of boarding pris-
oners, in fact every item Of expense charge
able to the administration of justice, is
greater in the Yukon division than it is
here, although the aggregate is not nearly
so great, simply because there is very much
less business transacted.
Mr.. Clark is good long distance writer
but he is invariably short on facts when he
writes of Alaska He should seek new
sources of information. His present ones
are ringboned and spawned and they have
string. halt AS we stated at the beginning,
however, Mr.. Clark is right when he says
the fees are excessive. They are, and they
should be reduced in the interest of the
poor litigant but Mr.. Clark nullifes the
force of his remarks when he presumes to
state that these fees are excessive only in |
in the Nome district.

The supreme court of the United States
has decided that railroads cannot combine
to Cypress the people. In other words, the
highest court in the land says that railroad
"trusts" are illegal. Now if the govern
ment will but wage war on all other trusts
it will prove that it is real benefactor to
the nation at large.

however, Mr.. Lewisohn declined to an

st. Petersburg, Dec S.-The military
strength of Russia is still untouched
by the present war, according to an
official report of the war office. OF the
764 districts in Russia there has been
thus far partial mobilization in 423
districts and in IA of the latter only
few oatasories were touched. In
none are the reserves exhausted. The
regular establishment includes guard
and grenadier corps, exclusive of two
in the Caucasus, two in Turkestan and
the Siberian corps. Ten of these corps
are now at the front. Four more Eu-
ropean corps and five rifle brigades
are also under orders to fill up the
three armies to 10000 men each. The
present plans contemplate the use OF
only eight of the twenty-seven regu-
lar European corps.
