NO LIKELIHOOD
 OF A CHANGE

The Pioneer of June 20 contained dis patch from Washington to the effect that Frank Goodbody of Arizona was slated to succeed Judge F. E. Fuller of the Fourth judicial district of Alaska. The dispatch was also printed in other Alaskan news papers as well as Outside papers. In some instances Delegate Wlckersham was given as authority for the statement.
 In a telegram forwarded from Fairbanks to Judge Fuller, dated July IS, MT. Wicker sham states that there IS not the least foundation for the report, and that so far as he IS aware, no change has been con templated.
 This will be gratifying news to the many friends of Judge Fuller in iditarod and vi cinity, where the judges ability is recog nized and admired, and wiere he has hosts of personal friends.
 Nothing is known here as to who the gentleman spoken of as Judge Fuller's sue cessor is but it is safe to say that the people of the Fourth district as a whole will be pleased to learn that Judge Fuller is to continue on the bench here.

 0I' V WOOD V

A disaster involving the loss of several thousand dollars occurred on Wednesday evening last. when the wood contained in the boom at the new power plant of the Yukon Gold Company. above the mouth of Otter creek on the Iditarod river was car ried away by the high water.
 At about II o'clock on Wednesday night word was telephone from Flat to th" effect that the wood between 1000 and 1,2OO cords, had broken away and was icing ar ried down the river. MT Austin, manager of the Yukon Gold Company, who was Tn Iditarod at the time, made an effort to save the wood as it reached this vicinity and Is said to have offered large reward for the successful salving of the wood. OW- ing to the fact that the time was short and facilities were not at hand tor stretch ing boom across the river, the feat was pronounced not feasible. and the plan was abandoned.
 About 1 o'clock a. m. Thursday the wood began floating past the city, and continued in steady stream for several hours. Word had been passed around, and energetic clu- zens were soon busiIy engaged in resculng the wood The river front presented busy scene. Launches, barges and polling boats were brought into requisition, and large quantities of the fuel were soon piled up. The two large barges of the Cold Storage company proved to be the best point for operations, and around this the scenes of greatest activity occurred and it is estl- mated that in the neghborhood of 100 cords were saved from the river.
 According to Ben Bromberg who arrived here Thursday morning and who carried the news of the disaster to Flat, where it was telephoned to this city, the boom at the power plant did not break, but the
