Judge Stafford's New York speecI

Judge Stafford's New York Speech
Associate Justice Wendell P. Stat
ford was the first of three speakers
to be introduced at the banquet in
the Waldorf, New York, December
%, the occasion being the 1O8th an
nual festival of the New England
Society. Gov. Baldwin of Connect
lieut. and Gov. Fletcher of Vermont
were among the guests. The sub
ject of Judge Stafford's speech was
THE People and the Courts and
his plea for the sanctity of the judici-
airy.
"Is there not something In govern
ment itself that ought to be held
sacred and indubitable?" he asked.
Are there not some principles that
should be placed beyond the strife
of tongues and never submitted to
debate?
"In a judiciary selected with such
care as human nature can command,
what motives will there be to indu-
ence it against the, common good?
It's own property and liberty, the lib
erty and estates of it's own children
are put in peril if the scales of Justice
be held with a deceitful or unsteady
hand. The father does not poison
the spring from which his own chill
dren drink. Believe me, judges will
not Willingly corrupt the fountain of
justice from which they and their
children after them must take the
cup Of liberty and life"
Justice Stafford also defended trial
by jury and declared that latter 80
years experience ] look upon jury
trials, even in civil causes, as a wise
and safe method of deciding ques-
tions of fact"
at is in the jury trials he said,
that the people, as people, have
their principal share in that part Of
the government which we call judici-
al. Take it away or cut it down and
they viii find it harder than ever to
look upon courts as their own /"

 Considerable misconception prevails regarding winter temperature in in- terior Alaska, old-timers being fond of telling of the 70.below weather which prevailed in this or that camp during the first years of it's existence. As matter of fact these statements are generally founded on hearsay, as gov ernment records show no such low temperatures as those spoken of. Major General Greeley, in his authori- tative work on Alaska, is responsible for the statement that the lowest tenn perature recorded by government tested instrument at Fairbanks is 5S% below. The lowest temperature ever recorded south of the Yukon is 69 below. Fort Yukon is the coldest place in Alaska of which there is record, the thermometer at that place averaging 10 degrees lower than Point Barrow. In our telegraphic news for last week there was message from Nome which placed the temperature at 3S below in the city, and 5 below at Candle-and this is the coldest season in the history of the peninsula.-Iditarod Pioneer.

 A shipment of gold bullion valued at S1, 100000 recently reached Seattle from the Iditarod. This was the record for large shipments in the winter season. On dog sleds and guarded by employees of the Wells-Fargo Express company, the consignment of treasure was hauled from the Iditarod to Panama, then on ice down the river to Fairbanks and over the snow covered trail to Chitina, where it was placed aboard train for Cordova. Snowslides on the Copper River $ Northwestern delayed the shipment month.
 Repairs to the big steel freighter La touche, of the Alaska Steamship com pany, which was badly damaged when she struck a rock at Careless Point while passing through Icy strait, will cost S11,965. The Latouche, in com mand of Capt. William Jensen, was bound from Juneau to Prince William sound to load cargo of copper ore for the Tacoma shelter, and went ashore in heavy snow storm, striking on large rock. The vessel was stranded for twenty -four hours, ana as result is badly strained.
 Estimates have been completed for the repair work on the cableship Burn- side and will be forwarded to Washing ton at once. This job will be the largest work ever done at Bremerton, outside that on the regular naval vessels. Two new boilers, general overhauling and extensive changes are included in the estimates, and the work will probably take six months to complete. It is pos sible that it may be decided to convert the Burnside into an oil-burner. and estimates for this are included in an alternative bid submitted.

In those fifty-one years he will have
aiken from Uncle Sans treasury al
most 5000, 000-more money than any
other man has ever received in salary
from the government, with the sole
exceptions of Presidents Cleveland
and Roosevelt. And it isn't fair to
count them. He will have received
more money by $4,000 than the next
