 Judge Lyons has stated that no long cases will be tried after the case of Hagan vs. Williams has been disposed of.

 Judge Lyons has done an eno1- nous amount ot work since he came to the Fourth division, and leaves the docket in an infinitely better shape than he found 1t. It might also be stated that few occu- pants of tho bench in this division have ever received the encomiums that have been heaped upon the re- tiring judge.
 It is expected that the judge will leave some time in July.

CRlLBERG'S ERROR

J. l.. Chilberg IS being generally quoted regarding his recent utter auCes on the Alaska situation. He opposes territorial form oi gov erument-not because t isl fright. but lccause il isn't right just now. It wi. be right some other time. when the robins nest again. and the -hilJc~gG and other members of the system get all they're after. Sel! government is m inherent right. it $ the Rock ot Ages upon which the permanent governments ot the world are founded; it is a Coo given blessing to mankind that operates everywhere outside ot Alaska. But, bless you, observes NJ. Ghilberg, the principle iSn' [ ripe yet up there. It Is verdant plant that has to be Pruncd and trimmed and manurel by the cor Uoratlors before given into uuholv hands. Some day in the dim and lo2ey .uture, we will be spiritual izcd enough to receive this grand truth but not now. Not now.
 They tell us we are too scattered to be entrusted with American priv.teees. It will cost the System too much to handle the votes III the outlying districts. When we are more congested and systematically starved into it, they can vote us in bunches and of course will then grant seif-Rovernnent Just HOW il is cheaper 10 get what they want through congress. - ketch;kan Miner.

TROUBLE FOR JOHN ENLuHD

A chapter of accidents attended John Enlund's scow during its pas sage down the Panama. The scow was heavily loaded with lumber and grounded several times ou the high bars. The barge was unload ed on one occasion to enable if to be rehoated, but when the crew were requested to repeat the un- loading performance a few hours later they firmly declined. This necessitated the calling upon the Dusty Diamond for assistance, which vessel lowed the scow off the bar. According to last reports the sCow had reached the Yukon river, and was well on its way 10 the IditafoG.

 Commissioner Marsh states it to be his belief that the prospec- tors met with foul play. and in view of the known anlmOSlty which the Indian bore toward them, the suspicion that Robert John Was responsible for their death appears 10 be well found d The District Attorney has empowered Commissioner Marsh to swear in d special deputy, if necessary, to effect the arrest of the suspect.

five members holding office for a
term of FIVE years.
This board will have the
supervision of all the schools OF
The county district, hire al the
teachers, levy the taxes, build,
repair add equip the school
houses and in fact perform the
duties for the whole district that
is now performed by the severa]
school boards existing under the
present school law. They will
also have power to consolidate
districts now existing, establish
central schools, etc.
There are other changes, but
not material, only in aiding the
putting of this plan into effect
We are all interested in the
public school, whether republi
can, democrat, socialist or prohi

Hoping I may get a good ex
preston from the several part
of our county.
