To Rn interview this morning Judge Reid stated that he will noJ tolerate any "hurrah" camps nor permit the saloons to deCrade Alaskaus and that saloon men who strictly observe the law will receive the support of the court. The able jurist leaves this evening for Chicago, from whence he will go to New York, later visiting his home in OkIahoma.-Special cable to the Ju. neau Record.
 There are no hurrsh camps In Alaska and never have been save in a few iu- stances at their beginnings and before constituted authority had chance to take hold. Certainly there is no hur- rsh camp in Alaska now nor was there when Judge Red came here. Judge Reid is a judge and should, as such, stand for justice. Be is doing Alaska a distinct injustice which all Aaskaus will resent when he allows himself to be quoted in such fashion. As for Judge Reid rot allowing Alaskans to be degraded, 1t Is not believable that he said it, siDce he knows that Alaskans
