Teachers On Trial

The Japanese poachers brought to Valdez by the cutter Manning for trial appeared in court Saturday.

A jury was select ed late in the afternoon and the case put over until Monday morning.
 J. Y. Ostrander, J. W. Leedy and E. E. Ritchie, were named by the Court as counsel for the Japanese. They moved that the case be dismissed claiming no jurisdiction of this court, but motion was denied: They then asked for postponfuelt o; trial which was refused Following is the jury selected: J. E. Russell, i'd. Nelson. J Rosenfeldt, Cbas c Green, s. P. Ben ton, c. J. Daggett, J. McMillan. NJ. D. Gleason, J. s. M. Nelson, l.. Schafer, c. Littlejohn, C. Walker. S. A. Temple and c. B. Smith were pre-em ptorilly challenged on account of race prejudice.
 The case of the Uui'ed States vs' Capt. Kadota and B of his crew was continued in court this morning be- fore Judge Wickersham. Attorney Ray out.ired the charge of the government that two freshly killed seals Gone female) and seal carcase still warm. were found in boat, 3G0 yards from shore at St. Paul Island. Attorney Qstrander stated that the defense would admit the killing of seal but that the animals were shot outside the three mile limit, the reason the boat being found near the shore being. that it had become lost in the fog, trying to find it's vessel the "Kaiwo'.

Levy X Co. and the Valdez Bank and Mercantile Co.,, in the new corporation, tbe Alaska Mercantile Co A number of smaller concerns are also to be consolidated in due course.
 MT. Chas. E. Brown of Brown & Hawkins will be the president of the Alaska Mercantile Co.,, as $. A. Hem pie has decided to move to the states. The various firms will for the present be run under their present names and it will be some time before the com plete consolidation will be effected.

oftimes something happens or some per-
son gets into Il scrape, then people come
to the editor and ask him to keep it out
of his paper, thinking in that way to hush
the matter up. For the benefit of these
we would like TO say that while the news
paper is a great promoter of publicity,
there is another which is still greater, it's
name is gossip. Now there is great diff
erence between these two. A newspaper
if it cares anything for it's reputation,
makes an effort to tell things straight;
gossip, having no reputation to sustain,
garbles things as she pleases. The moral
of this little tale is that nine times out OF
ten it is better to let the paper tell the
news and give the public an honest account
than it is to let gossip do the business and
make a bad mess of it, We recommend
this thought to our readers-Manda.

A Sermonette.

Do you love the saloonkeeper better
than your wife? And haven't you noticed
that his wife is better dressed than yours?
LET us put down the demon rum" is
everybody's war cry--but. unfortunately,
the majority seems to be in favor of not
only putting down rum, but of putting
enough on top to hold it there. Some men
drink but twice day-before and after
breakfast.
Are you one of these strong, stalwart,
brave men who can take drink and leave
it alone? know hundreds of big, brainy,
self-confident fellows just like YOU. Some
of them still can boast and others have
such still" on they cannot speak above
slobber. The man never lived that
could beat John Barleycorn in his own
game! And suppose he could, you know
there are thousands and thousands of weak,
vaciliating fellows who have not the
strength to hold out long against strong
drink. Wouldent it be better to deny
yourself little and by example help those
who go to the grass every time they get
into catch-as-catch-can bout with Mr..
Manhattan and his ilk?
used to think the temperance apostle
with his total abstinence pledge was a
freak Sometimes he was-but have
since observed that it is better to be a
sober freak than drunken good fellow.
Have you noticed how many accidents and
how much suffering are directly traceable
to indulgence in strong drink? Ever read
of an automobile wreck that suggested
mixture of liquor and young blood? One
of the worst conglomerations extant is
man about town, ten or eleven drinks of
whiskey and an automobile! You can tell
them every time! The morning news
paper prints the story, but it seldom says
anything about how many tummies were
filled with irewater and why wobby
chauffeur ran into car full of women and
manned and killed the entire party! 1t
woulden't be popular to discuss that-and
besides it would be a disgrace.
Yes, know its time to ring off. This
isn't a popular subject We like to dis
regard it and for my part. I'm willing
I'm no temperance crank with long hair
and celiuloid collar-but sometimes
cannot help musng on how free this world
would be from suffering and woe and tears
if liquor were dispensed entirely. | won
der how many women would cry them
selves to sleep for joy tonight if this we're
possible?
wonder how many men would find
their salaries raised and their children
better provided tor, and how many bad
citizens would become good ones, and how
many thugs would have to hunt new renss
devious and how many painted women
would have to turn to cooking for living?
But, as l said, this isn't popular sub
ject, and anyhow this is as far as my Car

Attempt of Commissioners.

Two members of the present board OF
county commissioners are determined,
irrespective of the wishes of the people as
registered at the polls last November, to
build court house at once. At the last
meeting of the board, MIR. Gorham move
aud MIR. Roberts seconded a motion to the
Effect that the county emergency fund be
used as soon as available for the erection
of court house at the county seat, that
the auditor be directed to procure plans
and specifications for such building. and
further, that any other funds o. the county
that become available be transferred to a
building fund to be used in the erection
of such court house. The people of this
county emphatically declared at the polls
only last November, that they we're
opposed to mourning the expense of a
court house at this time; and yet in the
teeth of their verdict we have this attempt
on the part of these commissioners to rail-
road through court house. The excuse
for this deliberate effort to defeat the peo-
pies wishes is that some of the county
officers complain that their present quar-
tiers are uncomfortable and uninhabitable
and the records unsafe. But admitting
this to be true it loses all force as an argu-
ment for building court house at this time,
when we consider that Mr.. Stoddard
moved at the same meeting without get
ting second. that the present court house
be fitted up and put in comfortable and
tenantable condition and that a vault be
erected for the official records. Mr..
Stoddard's motion offered an easy solution
of the court house problem: and one in
strict conformity with the peoples wishes.
Billings county does not ask its officials
to transact its business in quarters inimical
to their comfort, nor is it unwilling to pro-
vide suitable protection for its public
records; but at the same time it is unwil-
ling that these same officials who are but its
servants shall arbitrarily dictate the kind
asd suaiciency Of their quarters and when,
where, and how, court house shall be
erected. The countys affairs have been
conducted in the present building for the
last twenty years and if rcpeired as MIR.
Stoddard proposed, would be in better
condition for the transaction of public
business than during all that time. And
there is no question but what it can be
conducted there as we'll for some time to
come as in the past. In that event. we
hazard the conjecture that even if our
present officials are compelled to do bust
ness in the present building, none of them
will resign.
Besides we seriously doubt the authority
OF the commissioners to appropriate money
for such purpose in view of the present
condition of the county revenue. The
resolution as passed contemplates the use
