Anchorage is certainly most ambitious town. Although in existence but couple of years it has made great strides for ward due largely to the progressive spirit of it's residents No opportunity overlooked in working for what desires with the frequent result of attaining that for which it has srven All of which most commendabe. But like most precocous youngsters apt to overeac tse and bet ter illustration of this fact is found than its effort to have the seat of the department of justice of the Third division trans feed to Cook Inlet There argument justice in moving
 the court house from Valdez Anchorage but the fact remains
 that of the residents of the latter town making e fort to bring about that result And the department of jus ce has lent to this expare pleading but the bubble of hope likely to be prcked when the attorney general bonn baded with strong protests from all parts of the division against any such move
 Just what claim Anchorage situated as it is apart from the of the communities has to being the seat of justice is clear to unpreudced mind Valdez is centrally located geographically and therefore the most convenient place for the transaction of court business gants and the public gen eray which is big item in its favor. Anchorage have larger population with the bounk" settlement included but ii yet construction camp closed to navigation during the winter and its permanency is matter be determined in the future. Of has railroad but has Skagway and still Juneau retains the capital

 But recognize the advantages possessed by Valdez, particularly its location and accessibility and much prefer have the court house remain there being Anchor age. While admire the rustng abilities of friends the railroad terminal regret that cannot 'put in' with them when 1t IS matter of working hardship upon the rest of the people, with particular advantage gained Un der the present circumstances the house should and remain at Valdez if the people of the division have any voice the maer-and we think they will.

4PLUCK|NG" BOARD BEGINS WORK AT
 TRAINING CAMP

Chattanooga, November 1.-Tomorrou the efficiency board will begin examtna- ton of candidates at the training camp, Colonel Slocum presiding. There is much objection, among the cadets owing to re- cent orders of the war department that only about one-third of those qualified should be commissioned and held for ac- tive service, the remainder to be placed on the waiting list. It is reported from Washington that many protests have come to the war department over the order Of the Secretary, 1t being claimed that the men held in reserve would be unable to obtain profitable employment or again establish themselves in the profess sions on account of the uncertainty as to when they may be called to the colors. A well informed officer is out with sug- gestion that solution of the question would be to assign those receiving com missions to regular organization so that their training could continue.
 A board from Washington is at the camp for the purpose of selecting about 150 men for the aviation and signal corps branches, all of whom will be volunteers.
 Another large contingent has just left the camp, either having been discharged at their own request or sent home by the plucking board.
 Chattanooga, November 1.-The Ten nessee branch military training camps association, through it's chairman, former Mayor T. c. Thompson, and Vice Chairman s. M. B. Ochs, managing editor of the Chattanooga Times, tonight sent a telegram to Secretary of War Baker urging a reconsideration of the ruling in regard to the inactive list for graduates at training camps. The telegram says: These men have won their entrance into the camps through competition in which thousands of men were eliminated, many of them giving up lucrative positions which cannot be reclaimed. They have fairly won their right to prompt and &C., tive service. Their training should not be allowed to go stale.''
