 "There has been no large general de- crease in the supply of game birds. There has been an increase in many To- calities, and decrease in several plac- es, and where forest and brush fires have swept over the country, killing young ptarmigan and grouse.
 Under the head of "Violations of the Law,o he says: "Several gross violations of the law by residents have been reported, and wherever possible, prosecuted, but in general there has been a fair observance of the provis- ions of the game protection act through out the territory. The people believe in the necessity of game law, but cer tain unjust provisions of the act, such as as the protection of the trouble some and dangerous brown bear, are universally condemned ' Eight or ten conviction were secured during the year of persons guilty of violating the law, and the governor believes that dn- questlonably a large number of in fractions were prevented by the known presence of the game wardens.

missioner at Hanna, in letter now on file in the governor $ office, says that
 he personally knows of more than 100
 white men and Indians who have been
 killed by the vicious but protected
 brown bear. "They are the most de- structive of other game and human life of all the Alaska animals,' he says. "'They are the king of all Alaska E game and I have known of more than one hundred white men and natives be- ing killed or crippled by brown bears very much doubt if there is single
 village in Cooks Inlet or on the Alaska peninsula that doesn t show one or more natives who have been crippled in encounters with them in the brush or grass. She bears invariably attack
 both man and other beasts when their cubs are young.' The commissioner says also that the protection extended to the animal has also had a disastrous effect on the natives by stopping the sale of skins. "I personally know oe some settlements being abandoned by the natives on account of their not be- ing able to sell the skins of the brown bear. Two of these settlements are on

the south end of Kamasak Bay on the west side of Cooks Inlet.'
 In his report the governor says that game is still plentiful in almost all parts of Alaska. This statement ap- plines to both animals and birds. The consensus of opinion among the war dens, licensed guides and residents gen erally, seems to be that moorse are in creasing in numbers in the Kenai pen fact of extraordinary signif- canoe when it is considered that this peninsula Is the region selected by nearly all the nonresident hunters as their hunting ground. Caribou are in creasing, it is believed, in the Alaska peninsula and in one or two of the larg- CT islands immediately west of the pen insula.

THE CHARGES AGAINST OVERFIELD

Representatives of the Department of Justice are in Fairbanks investi- gating charges against Judge Peter Overield.
 Some of the charges are rather seri- ous, if true, and there are seventeen of them altogether. They range from irregularities in the appointment of q receiver for the Washington Alaska bank to improper influences in the ap- pointment of U.. S. commissioners, and lack of sympathy with the prose cutting attorney in the prosecution of criminals to personal associations with individuals to whom the complaints. .ob-

particular portion of the bay is pro- tected by the projecting land to the northeast from the influence of the northerly winds. There is no proof -o indicate that the defendants have any difficulty in landing vessels at their wharf during all seasons of the year, nor does the record disclose anything, nor do the premises suggest any req son why plaintiffs cannot have access to deep water by the constructoin If such a wharf. The evidence further shows that for all present needs and purposes of the plaintiffs it would not be necessary for them to build wharf of such length, for they can easily bring vessels around to the land side of the northerly projection of the defendants ! wharf and load or unload whatever ma chinery or lumber they desire on short pier or wharf projecting from Three Tree Point and on the land side of the northerly projection of the de- fendants' wharf.
 The witness Dalton insists that. since he is the owner of the upland, he has a right of access to deep water naviga- tion in the most inexpensive manner which the topography of the ground will permit and, therefore, that he should be entitled to wharf out direct ly from Three Tree Point and should be granted mandatory injunction at this time restraining the defendants from maintaining their trestles, wharves and railroad in front of him. But as before stated, the plaintiffs should have insisted on such right be-

 The charges recite that last spring, following a meeting of the creditors of the defunct bank, committee called upon the judge and presented set of resolutions which had been adopted by the creditors, and which ask for the removal of F.

"'The least that can be said of the legal protection of the brown bear in Alaska, is that it is an absurdity, ' says Governor Clark in his annual re port on the game law which has just been mailed to Washington. eff this protection is continued, the menace to human life will be still more serious, and agriculture and stock raising in some of the more favored portions )f the territory will be discouraged. The superintendent of the government s ex- pertinent station stock farm on Kodiak island makes strong appeal for the protection of settlers and livestock against the ravages of the brown bear, declaring that it has become qucs- tion whether we shall have game pre- serve or a great agricultural and stock raising region on Kodiak island. The existence of the brown bear protec tive feature of the law, which has noth- ing whatever to commend it, IS so strongly opposed by the residents of the Kenai and Alaska peninsulas that the enforcement of the just provisions of the law is rendered more difficult Y

fore the incurring of such expense as the evidence shows the construction of such improvements entailed upon, the defendants. Nor are the plaintiffs with out a remedy, even though they didn t act promptly in preventing the de fendants from erecting structures n front of said upland. They still have an action for damages and, if it be- comes necessary for them, in the pros ecution of the work on their mining claims, to construct 8 wharf such as has, been heretofore indicated, there is no apparent reason why they should not, in any action for damages they might see fit to institute against the de- fendants for injuring their right of ae- cess to navigable water, recover such damages as will be sustained by them in being compelled to erect more ex- tensive wharf than would be necessary had the defendants not built any strnc- lures in front of their upland.
 Nor does it appear that the plain tiffs will suffer on account of the refus- al to grant the extraordinary remedy prayed for. For the defendants, in the first instance, had they seen fit, could have by appropriate condemnation pro ceedings cut off plaintiffs access from deep water navigation by paying what ever damages plaintiffs would sustain by reason of any injury to such right of access The plaintiffs still have that remedy if they can show their right of access has been substantially interfer- ed with; but, as before stated, the ev-

MORE LIGHT ON THE DALTON CASE

Since the story of Judge Lyons de- cision appeared in this paper a few weeks ago, the Sourdough has receiy- ed a copy of the decision which was prepared by Judge Lyons in Ketchi- kan and forwarded to Cordova. The following, which is the concluding part of the decision, throws considerable light upon the case:
 "The evidence in this case shows that one of the mining claims described in the second amended complaint abutts on the navigable water of Orca Inlet for a distance of one thousand or twelve. hundred feet. It shows further that the structures complained of by the plaintiffs are in front of said claim only for short distance. If plaintiffs desire to construct wharf from thelr upland to deep water navi- gation, there is nothing to prevent them from doing so by building from any portion of the westerly side line of the eBar mining claim in mortimer ly direction, which wharf would not be interfered with in any manner by the present wharf, warehouses and tres ties of the defendants. It is true the witness Dalton says that owing to the prevailing north winds in the winter season it would be impossible to dock vessel at that point. The witnesses for the defendants, however, deny that there are any winds from that direc- tion which would interfere with the landing of vessels at such a wharf. An examination of the topography of the surrounding country shows that that

not warrant the court in saying that such access has been materially inter fered with by the structures of the defendants of which the plaintiffs com plain.
 After the taking of the testimony and the submission of the cause to the court, the court took the same under advisement owing to the fact that the judge who tried the cause desired to view the premises in controversy be- fore rendering an opinion herein, and immediately after taking said cause under advisement on the 5th day of Ju- ly, 1911, the court entered an order re- quiring the defendants forthwith to open temporary roadway twenty eight feet in width by the alteration of their trestles in front of plaintiff s log haul and to permit plaintiffs to con struct creasing over the railway of the defendants at point east of the last switch where such railway con sists of single track only. Such order was granted however, for temporary purposes only. After carefully review ing the pleadings, evidence and the premises, it is apparent that such or- der was not justified under the circum- stances, and that the court was without power to enter the same. Let an order, therefore, now be entered setting aside and holding for naught the said order by this court on the said 5th day of July, 1911.

ter of much comment among all those who have business in the court. It is charged, also, that the manner of se- lecting the jurors, against which the prosecuting attorney has protested, IS favorable to defendants in criminal cases, and disadvantageous to the pros ecutoing attorneys office. Objection is made to the character of two commis- sioners appointed, E. M. Staunton and Abe Spring. The "morals" of both men are objected to, and the honesty If Spring is questioned.
