DISTRICT COURT AT sKAGwAY

The prediction was made recently by a Juneau paper lthst Judge Gunnison would cease to hold terms of the district court at skagway and Ketchikan, alieg' ing as a reason that the court business at these places Is not sufficient in vol ume to warrant mourning the expense such terms entail upon the government The postponement of the spring term for this city has caused some people to believe that the paper had some- thing tangible upon which to base the prediction.
 However, there is no cause for alarm to the people of Skagwsy. The law re- qulres Judge Gunnison to hold two terms of court year at this place. He could not dispense with them should he desire to do SO. The terms of court at Retchikan are discretionary with the court, but those at Sksgway are fixed by law just as are those that have been provided for Juneau.
 Bu, it is not trus that there is little or no business for the courts at Skag- way. The legal business at this place always requires the attention of the court for several weeks at each term, In fact, the business seldom has teen completed when the court, because of the lapse of time or for other reasons, has adjourned for the term.
 At the present time there are no less than 90 cases requiring the attention of the court at this place. A half dozen of them are criminal matters in which the liberty of human lives are at stake and more than half dozen more are important civil suits ready for trial.
 It is not at all likely, under the cir cumstances, that Judge Gunnison would dispense with the Sksgway terms of the district court if it were within his power SO to do.

Usually the people on the island raise
but one crop a year, but some of the
tribes coax Mother Earth into doubling
the supply. Water is the great problem
that eternally perplexes them, and the
means that they have resorted to GER

majority of them are some fourteen or
fifteen feet in height, and as the water

scarcely imagine to what an extent
The implements of warfare-spears and
head knives" so called because they
are used for scalping purposes alone
are fashioned in the crudest possible
way. Two small barrels made of hard
wood are placed side by side. At the
bottom of each small pipe is fitted
and extends perhaps a foot and a half
or two feet to a fire. Two long poles
with feathers bound securely to the
ends Of them are then forced into the
barrels, one coming up as the other
goes down. and the turkey feathers
make current of air that is forced out
of the smaller pipes nd/keeps the fire
glowing and burning, on the same prin-
ciple as our bellows. In this way iron
and steel are heated and they are able
to work it into crude implements and
weapons.
All primitive tribes seem to have
