ALASKA FORUM

WIll1C dIl dppOlIlCCu OIlC VIII ACCCooaA ny be subject to the dictations of the ap- pointive power, which is invariably con trolled by political manipulators and monopolists. The judicial division bill is measure of vast importance to the people of the Yukon, as we'll as those living on the coast from Bristol bay to Mt. St. Elias. That bill would have passed congress in the spring of 1904, and creating fourth judicial division, had not Judge Wickersham's treacher ous manipulations blocked it's passage through the lower house.
 The people of the great Yukon basin realize the necessity of a resident judge especially during the long winters. when travel is so inconvenient, and le- gal complications arise, the adjudica- tion of which requires personal attend ance before the District judge who is then somewhere on the coast hundreds of miles away. Still, Wickersham be- came offended at Governor Brady for reporting the court facilities of the Third division inadequate. The little grand duke" becomes a roaring lion as soon as the question is raised of dividing his ''duchy" in order to give the people thereof more convenience and better government.
 Judge Wickersham will no doubt se- cre1ly oppose the granting of self-gov- ernment and an elective delegate to congress, the same as he did the pas sage of the judicial division bill-if the measures in question interfere with his 'personal desires." He would sacrifice the wishes and best interests of the people of the entire District of Alaska as quickly as he did those of the Third division-were it to his personal inter ests to do so.
 The creation of fourth division will necessitate the appointment of an ad- ditional set of Federal Alaskan officials and no doubt the Wickersham lobby at Washington will execute some brilliant manipulations in their efforts to secure important official positions. The an- noyance and ''weariness'' which Presi- dent Roosevelt has experienced in the Wickersham controversy should cause him, be he striving for good govern ment, to select Federal officials for the district whose environment is of l ss corruptible character than that of the

THE COMING SESSION OF CONGRESS
 IMPORTANT TO ALASKA

THE COMING session of congress prom ises to be quite interesting with respect to Alaskan affairs. A number of inn portant legislative measures pertaining to the district, are being extensively agitated; principal among Which is the movement for a territorial form of gov ernment the delegate bill, and the ju- dicial division bill While the general demand is for lf-government. the peo- pie seem to be undecided as to the form best suited to existing conditions. A territorial form of government similar to that accorded New Mexico, Arizona and other western districts is favored by some, while others advance argu- ment to support original ideas of their own.
 A great many, who are not familiar with the subject, and do not understand the conditions surrounding self-govern- ment, are willing to accept any form for a change. Notwithstanding this divided opinion as to the proper form of self-government, all Alaskans are united in the demand for an elective delegate to congress. The people want an authorized representative at Wash ington chosen by the majority through the ballot. A delegate, to properly represent the district must be of the people, for the people and by the peo- pie. Such delegate could not, under the protection of an appointive power, sacrifice the peoples interests in behalf of his own personal desires.' as did Judge Wickersham. and then expect a reelection.
 A delegate chosen by the people must cater to the wishes, and attend to the needs and demands of his constituents;

Cholera, Yellow Fever and Bubonic
Plague Are Making Trouble.

Plague Are Making Trouble.
Tlagues of three kinds are now
scourging many parts of the world.
Bubonic plague has just made its ap-
pearance in The isthmus of Panama, nj
several laborers are dead at Colon. s'-
town of Zanzibar. on the island of the
same name, off the southeast coast OF
Africa, is also infected by the plague.
Cholera has made its appearance in
Germany and Russia, and many deaths
have been reported. The German i'm
perial health office has made the follow
ing statement concerning the probability
that cholera would reach the United
States from Germany: 1.-The danger OF
the migration of cholera to America
from Germany is remote. Since the expe-
riences of 1923 arrangements have
been perfected to combat the disease
even if its importation cannot be pre-
vented. Hamburg and Bremen are the
most dangerous spots and TO them the
greatest care has been devoted. The
water system of Hamburg, which used
10 be fed from the Elbe, has been
taken from the Elbe. That was the
cause of the epidemic of 1892"
Yellow fever has been raging for
weeks at New Orleans and in other
parts of the South, coming as far north
as Missouri. Deaths in New Orleans
alone have reached total of 293. While
the disease is undoubtedly spreading out
side New Orleans. the health authorities
claim to have the epidemic under control
in the city.

Mauy Lives Lost in Earthquake.

A special from Rome, Italy, says:
Earthquake shocks in the province OF
Calabria are reported, with an estimated
loss of life Of 100. The towns of Marti-
rano, Pizzo and Monteleons' Calabria
were almost entirely ruined. Hundreds
of persons were injured. In the PizzO
district buildings fell like card-bOards at
the touch of the finger. The prison at
Monteleons di Calabria collapsed, killing
seven men. The greatest damage appears
to have been done at Stefaconi, where the
dead are said to number close to the
century mark. Almost every house in the
town was wrecked, burying the people in
the ruias. The villages Pico Pho and Tre-
parni were destroyed. At CatanzarO the
the walls of the hospital collapsed, injur-
ing a number of patients. The inhabitants
of the districts mentioned are panic strick-
