in this Office Saturday and reported
that since Dec. Is, he had marketed
1O1 dozen eggs laid by 80 hens, sell
ing the product from so to 60 cents a
dozen. He has Buff and White Orp-
ingtons and believes that the secret of
his success is the fact that last fall
after his hens started moulting, he
fed them we'll on poultry tonic and
gave them plenty Of oyster shells. His
poultry house, of course, is warm.

HARD ON JENNINGS.

As much as we fought against the re-elect- ion of Wickersham as delegate to congress from Alaska and as much as we are gratified in hay inc succeeded yet subsequent events make IL feel as though he had been given the rotten end of the stick in so far as the proceedings of the court are concerned that made his defeat com pete Not that we doubt for moment but what another judge would have rendered the same decision that was rendered by the court al Juneau Not that at all. But as Wick. says 1T his argument in presenting his side in the con test Mir Pugh who was a member of the canvas sing board, consequently party in interest, i' closely related to the judge who heard the cas- and rendered the decision that made Sulzer del egate Owing to this fact, Wick. claims that the judge was disQualified to hear the case; and ac- cording to the law and all precedents so he was From Wicks. point of view, the judge was '.based' and could not possibly be fair to the contestant
 This may prove hard blow at the court but if Wickersham was deprived of a right, the blow is far too mild and that regardless of what we wish the result of the election to be. If, in order to get rid of a man we take advantage Of our position or power. the sooner the people know. the better for justice in general If we cannot reach goal honorably, we prefer never to reach it.
 Excerpts from Wckersham's arraignment of Judge Jennings taken from the Juneau Dis patch of the 9th appear in this issue.

Every knocker encourages another to knock. For the same reason every stacker encourages another. We are at war and that war is not of our own making We cannot escape it, so the best thing we can do is to pitch in and fight. If for some reasons va cannot fight on the front lines we can at least help those who snail. There is no use to daily. Whatever time we lose m helping the country will have to be made up someway. Let us answer the Presidents call for help Let us do our duty-buy liberty bona and join the Red Cross; the only association where there are no real or fancy boundary lines.

It is reported that the senate confirmed the nomination of Jennings to succeed himself as Judge of the First Division. Of his qualification far as his knowledge of the law is concerned :; we have nothing to say. At least we prefer not to say anything; but we frankly admit that we exceedingly regret his confirmation on account of his political activity. A man of his position should leave politics alone
