Judge Wickersham then anno' need, that lowing to the provisions cf the treaty between the United States and Russia, made at the time of the pur- chase of Alaska, the court " as in ioubt as to it's power to grant the applicants request" Then turning to M;aook, Judge Wickersham continued, Well, John, you deposit with the court $10, the amount required as fees for issuing final citizenship papers, and this court will take your application under con sideration. If the court finds that the treaty provides for such cases a., this, and the court cannot issue the papers as applied for, then the money deposit ed will be returned to you." Jol,n Mi- nook immediately deposited the money and retired.
 In July, 1904, John Minook rect iveda letter from Judge Wickersham con- taining the court decision in ref renee to his application. Judge W.ckc:sham in that opinion, concludes, Tt $ my judgment that the applicant is itizen of the United States by virtue ef the third article of the treaty with Russia ceding Alaska to the United States, either as one of those Inhabitants who accepted the benefits of the p1tlfered naturalization, or as member of an 'uncivilized native tribe who has since that date, voluntarily tax en up l.::s res idence, separate and alart, frcza any tribe of Indians therein, and naa adopt ed the habits Of civilized liIe. i!e was such citizen at the time c rnak .4g his application to this court, and, . ,causa this court cannot add anything to his status as citizen, his arpi@;-,i is denied" The kape.s coui4 nol;, sue as applied for, nor has the court returned the $10 deposited by John MinooA. No doubt Judge Wickersham has placed the. money with savings bank, or in some get-rich-quick scheme, ard some day John Minook' children will fall heir to legacy.
 Soon after Commissioner J. Ilindley Green took charge of the Recorder of- flee, he informed ar> sdent of Rampant precinct that certain mining location notice, which was filed for record with t;o o1ooceoo> ~r,oc yo~.t~ ,,rnr :ho -

and l am not doing my predecessors work for nothing. If you want the mo- tice placed on record you will have to pay me $z.50." The locator said he did not like the idea of paying twice, but if the notice was not on the records, he would pay the required $2. 50. Commis- sioner Green assured him that the loca- tion notice was not on the records, whereupon the locator paid the coveted $2.50.
 The records did at that time, and do now, show that Comm: issioner Greens predecessor recorded that particular To- cation notice. Is not this action on the part of Com missioner J. Lindley Green obtaining money under false pretences, or is it incompetency-or both? These matters are of small financial impor- tance, but they demonstrate the caliter and inclinations of these grating off:c-> ial manipulators. Many instances are known, along the lines as above, where the people have been flched out of pal try amounts, through official manipuia- tion and misrepresentation Why has not Commissioner J. Lindley Green re- funded certain money, as he promised the Grand jury and others that he would? Such corrupt actions of public officials should not be upheld or protected by a government as far advanced in civiliza- tion as the United States.

IN ancient times it was the custom for Egyptian judges to have. private rooms where they received litigants bearing gifts. before the case was tried. The larger present usually decided the case. Some of the more conscientious judges received equal amounts from both sides and then returned the bribe to the suit or loosing the case. There are still traces of this system existing in Egypt. Instances are known of in Alaska, sim liar to this old Egyptian custom. At the present time, in Egypt, there is 8 rgidvsystem of inspection of cases in the. courts, andif unjust judgments are discovered they are upset, and the un- just judge, if there be evidence of cor- ruption, severely punished. This even handed justice between the strong and the weak, the high and the low, is one of the boons of justice all nations sl.ould emulate.
 The corruption existing in the c<urts of the Third division of Alaska would cause those judicial crooks of ancient Egyptian courts to hide their heads in shame. If any attempt is made to force an investigation and expose exis ting rottenness in our courts, all manner of schemes are employed to shield the guil- ty. The power of our courts are used to gratify selfish desires, as we'll as to reahze~illegal financial gain. Not only are the poor and weak trodden upon by our officials, but the ignorant and un- suspecting are taken advantage of by the courts, and ffeeced of few paltry dol- lars. As an illustration; one John Mi nook, an Indian Russian half-breed. made application in August, 1903, to the District court for final citizenship pap ers.- Judge Wickersham called the ap- plicant and his witnesses before the court, and questioned them as to John Minook's character, etc.

an interview: The proper way to de-
scribe the manner in which the people
sef North Dakota are coming over into

coming over in droves. Among the
people there did not seem to be any
thought of there being a boundary line
at all. 1t is simply a question" added
the major, "of there not being any
more land In North Dakota and the
surrounding States, and the people are
focking to Canada to get good farms.
Naturally the number that will come
over will increase all the time, and I
may say the people you are getting are
the best people in the West They are
well supplied with money and are well
acquainted with the conditions under
which they will have to work" The
