LIGHT ON THE COMMISSION PLAN

There has just been received Part of the hearings before the committee of the house of representatives H. R. 5763 which Delegate Wickehams bill carrying the idea of Secretary Lane for to admner the affairs o the national Alaska The document of the most interesting of the long list of papers dealing with Alaskan afas and shows among other things the remarkable grasp all matters tanng the Territory possessed by Delegate Wckeham, who a peared before the explain the details of the proposed law.

WANT WINTER
 TERM OI: COURT

There has been considerable discussion during the past few days of the advAbility of a winter court session for IditaeUlc~ It Is pointed out that there are numerseB cases on the docket which could not be reached at the term just ended for various reasons, chiefly on account of the inablllty of the htigants and witnesses to be present because of the difficulty of summer travel. These cases will of necessity be postponed until the next term at Iditarod, whenever that may be, thus entailing hardship and possible loss
 It is contenGed that the month of July, when the court is in the habit of sitting in Iditarod is the busiest season of the year in mining circles. There is but little winter work, and everyone desires to make the most of the short summer season. The consequence Is that operators and Workmen alike are obliged to cease work and attend court at time when every moment means a financial loss. This applies to others besides those engaged in mining The scat tered population makes 1t necessary m order to provide the necessary grand and petit juries to subpoena men who are located nearest the place of holding court, and thus business men, river men and laborers are drafted from their occupations at the busl- est season.
 In the winter season, not only is travel in this section more convenient and expedl- tious than in the summer but the citizens generally are at leisure to attend to matters of litigation It is believed that the hold ing of the court session in the winter sea son would inconvenience comparatively few of the residents in comparison with sum mer term.
 Judge Fuller stated to The Pioneer Tues day that if sufficient showing is made to warrant the holding of a winter term of court at Iditarod he would issue the neces- sary order It is matter that should be taken up at once and acted upon by the citizens generally and those having business with the court.

BY AUTOMOBILE;
 FROM FAIRBANKS

Recent arrivals in Iditarod from Fair banks tell of the efforts being made to establish automobile traffic between that city and Chitina, on the c. R. X N. W. railway, and state that indications point to the experiment proving a success financially as well as popular and novel
 It is said that the machine belonging to Bobby Shelton easily made the journey from Fairbanks to Chitina in thirtysix hours carrying four passengers. If any thing like schedule can be maintained on that run, it will be an easy matter for a traveller by making good railway and steamship connections to go from Fair banks to Seattle in eight days.
 Captain Sproul of the White Sea! is very much interested in the experiment. and he hopes by the time he reaches Fairbanks next week, to be able to quote a through rate from this camp to Puget sound ports.
 It is also stated that there are at the present time seven automobile outfits in Fairbanks ready to go on the Chitina run
