all lovers of the sport Coleman at

represented that the building would

that the fire limit ordinances that all

there was no exception clause, and
the petition was denied.

City Attorney Mcfarland arose
and stated that there was a matter
he desired to discuss with the coun-
ell, and to receive his instructions as
to what his further action should be-
He had reference, he stated, to the
H. b. Treff case against the city.
This case was brought for the re-
covery of 500 as payment for labor
performed in furnishing the city dur
ing the last election with election
booths. A Judgment had been en-
tered up against the city in the JUS
tice court, he stated, and he had
taken the matter up on appeal to the
district court. He stated that his
point on this appeal was that one of
the members of the committee APP
pointed to secure these booths had
delegated his power to another who
was not a member of the committee
and that this latter person had made
all the negotiations for the booths.
He had considered this point well
taken, he said, on demurrer, but
Judge Wood had ruled against him
and had stated that il was a matter
of proof and defense. They would.
he said. in case they went to court
on a matter of proof have to rest
their defense largely upon the rea-
sonableness of the work. Many of
the jurors would be working men.
and witnesses would be brought in
to testify as to the reasonableness of
the work. He was uncertain as to
their success in this case under those
circumstances. and that it might be
well to settle with Treff, as he had
offered to compromise for the face
value of the bill The council au
thorized him to make the settlement.
An adjournment was then taken.

Query to AttOrney.General Brings Quick Reply That no
 Vacancy Exists.
ATTORNEY HELD IN HIGH FAVOR
Only Guggenheim Interest Opposed Which Grows Out of Feeling
 Over Canyon Fight.
Special to The Daily Gateway.

Valdez, Jan. 8-Delayed in trans mission District Attorney Harlan has not resigned and so far as anybody here knows has no intention of laying down the cares of his present office. A query to the attorney-general brought back the prompt answer that there is no vacancy in the office of district attorney of the Third judicial division of Alaska.
 Judge Harlan himself wired from York, Nebraska. his old home, to his assistant in Valdez several days ago that he expected to start from York January II on his way to Valdez, if able to travel. He was then suffering from grip. If he starts on the day fixed he will sail from Seattle January Is.
 General sentiment in Valdez is in favor of Judge Harlan but the Gug- genheim contingent, headed by the at torneys of that interest, are anxious to see him vacate the office of district at torney. They are also violently op- posed to w. T. Scott, the assistant at Valdez. This grows out of the Key stone canyon railroad fight and the prosecution of Ed Hasey, who fired the shots that killed one man and wounded several others. Hasey is out on a 5000 bond and the grand jury which will be impaneled January 20 in the district court is expected to indict him on the charge of murder. Commits sioner Lyons bound him over to ans wer for murder in the second degree.
 Lnasmuch as a new district attorney would prosecute Hasey it is not clear why the Guggenheim forces are so bit ter against Harlan and Scott, but the fact exists. It grows out of the fierce feeling that was aroused following the canyon fight and in the preliminary examination of Hasey and George Hazelet. The laboring classes are unanimous and bitter against the Gug- genheim interest. To a considerable extent the idea prevails among them that the collapse of the Reynolds enterprise was caused by some diaboli cal plot devised by the Guggenheim octopus, and that the Guggenheims, not Reynolds, are responsible for the non-payment of wages by the Reynolds railroad.

 HIGH FAVOR Will Make Sweeping Changes in COmmiSSiOnerShipS Through.

POPULAR RECEPTION PLANNED
First Order of New JuriSt Was for Admission of WiCkerSham to
 Practice in Alaska Courts.
to The Daily Gateway.


 Valdez, Jan. 8-Delayed in transmits sion-Sweeping changes will be made in the commissionerships of the Third judicial division by Judge Silas H. Reed, the new judge. Very few of the present incumbents will survive. Other changes will be made in the appolntive positions at the disposal of the judge. One of his first official acts was to appoint O. A. Wells of Okla homa clerk of the court. Mr. Wells will be placed at Fairbanks, in the main office. The bar of the south end of the district want to see Ed. Tender son retained as deputy at Valdez.
 Myra H. Cox was reappoinied dep- uty at Seward by Judge Reed the first day of the term. Nominally of course, the appointment was made by Clerk Wells. Mrs. Cox was indorsed by all the Seward lawyers.
 The first order made by Judge Reed after the opening of court was for the admission of his predecessor, Judge Wickersham, to practice in Alaska courts. Judge Wickersham came to Alaska with an appointment as judge, and consequently had never been ad- mitted to practice in the territory.
 Judge Reed has made favorable impression here. He is prompt and decisive in the dispatch of business, and extremely courteous both on and off the bench. Without opportunity to form conclusive opinions the bar is in- clined to size him up as a good lawyer.
 A big popular reception in honor of the new judge will be held this even- ing in the court room.

Alaska Cable Does Big Business

That Alaska keeps well in touch with the outside world is shown by the fact that the United States Signal Service cable handled commercial bus mess in 1907 aggregating $246,S71, which includes messages sent to news papers of the north at low rates. This of course does not include the figures on government business for which the cable was primarily constructed.
