All sorts of humorous opinions
were given on the subject AT the
Department of Justice it was said
that as soon as the region around the
pole gets thickly settled officials OF
the department would be sent up
there to bust up the ice trust.
AS the territory is supposed to be-
long to the United States, the ques-
ton was raised as to how many cen
sus enumerators should be sent up
there. and whether any one had yet
applied for the job.
Some army officers said that the
