JUDGE 0VEDyFIET,T)
 GOES 10 VALDEZ,

Judge Peter D. Overfeld left on Tuesday morning for Dikeman, where he intended to board the White Seal for the Yukon, en route to St. Michael and the Outside. At Seattle the Judge will catch boat for Southwestern Alaska, arriving at Valdez in time for the opening of the special term of court at that place early in September.
 Judge Overfeld was compelled to leave this district before all the cases had been heard; but at the time when the arrangements for his transfer were made, it was not thought that the appointment of Judge Frederick E, Fuller to the Fourth division would meet with such strenuous oppsition.
 During his stay here Judge Overfield confirmed the good impression which he created on the occasion of his first visit to the camp a year ago. and while his visit was unavoidably curtailed, it was sufficiently long for the people

UNTlHRELY OPTIMISM

I was sitting by my gate weeping OCT an unkind fate. Everything was wrong that day, for my chickens wouldn't lay, bu' jus. lolfed around the coop. and old Dobbin had the croup; and the COW had gone insane she had suffrage on the brain-and the cat was having fils, and the dog, a lovely sptz, seemed to have the rabies bad, and my heart was sick and sad. So I sat there shedding brine from these china eyes of mine, weeping like some stricken deers till the yard was full of tears. Then an optimist came by; he had sunshine in his eye, and he slapped me on the back till l heard my wishbone crack. And there came this cheerful spasm from the large and yawning chasm in his heaming countenance: Do not worry. Sing and dance," So l slew him where he stood, with chunk of wet elm wood. For I've found that when I'm sore optimism is a bore, and 1 do not care 10 hear people utter words of cheer. Ii you murmur and condoIe I can stand your rigmarole; if you come and help me cuss I'll enjoy the little fuss. When all things are going right and I'm reeking with delight, then the optimist may come mak ng sunny language hum.-Walt Mason.

Washington, July 22.-Tt has been lecided to withdraw all the soldiers from Alaska and replace them with con- ,tabuIary, which will give the territory | much more complete policing system, somewhat similar to the mounted police )f Canada, and patterned after the state constabularv.
 In keeping with this plan Fort Law ton, near Seattle, will be reorganized tnd made one of the important posts on the Pacific Coast, where the soldiers from Alaska will be stationed in addi- tion to the present force.
 The mouAted police in Alaska will be selected with regard to their special fitness for the work in hand, and instead f being stationed in a few forts the ,ame as the soldiers at the present time. will be spread out to include every settlement in the territory.

DAN CAMPBELL LIKES
 LOOKS OF EUD RIVER

That the present maps of Interior Alaska are unreliable and useless, is the opinion of Dan Campbell, who has just returned from the Mud river country. Mr. Campbell says that Mll river is by no means the insignificant stream it is represented to be on the maps. On the contrary it is an import ant watercOurSe, with many tributaries of considerable size, not one fourth of which have been prospected. In fact Jne number of men who have been in the Mud river district is much smaller than is generally supposed, inasmuch as many who thought they had covered the region had done little more than skirt the edges.
 In the neighborhood of Dome creek, <, where pay has been reported, most of the ground has been staked, but beyond there is 8 great deal of promising ground which awaits the first pick of the prospector.
 MT. Campbell has an abiding faith in Mud river and Kaiyuh range, and expects to put in next winter prospect ing in that direction.

EASY TO BOOST THE TOWN
Say a Good Word for the Town in
Which You Live.

Encourage everyone, especially new
men to come in and settle among you,
particularly those who are worthy
and active, whether they have capital
or not. Their labor alone is worth
money. Those who have capital will
buy lots, build houses or tear out and
remodel the new ones. Go to work
and encourage every Legitimate enter
prise by giving it all the friendly
encouragement you can, and by unit
ing your industry, intelligence and
capital in a common cause. Guilt
vate a public spirit and talk less than
you work. Help your neighbor. IF
hB is in danger of breaking down,
prop him up in some way, either by
good words, good counsel or a lift
from your pocket If he gets fairly
down before you know it, set him on
his feet again, his misfortune is to be
pitied, not blamed, and his talents
and labor are worth money to the
community. Besides it may some
time be your turn and you will
need sympathy. Encourage your
local authorities in making public
improvement for the good of the town.
Speak we'll, talk encouragingly of the
town you live in, of its prospects. of
your neighbors, and in fact of every
thing likely to advance the public
good. 1t is such things that make a
town grow. Their cost is insignif-
can't when divided among all, but
when concentrated into general effort
they do the business thoroughly. -
