SUPREME COURT
FAvORS PRESS

Associated PRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The su-
preme court of the United States
has sustained the injunctions grant
ed to the Associated Press to stop
the International News Service from
pirating news.
Justice Pitney, who delivered the
opinion, referring to the charge
made by the international News
Service, that the Associated Press
was guilty of the same practices as
they have been charged with, said
that there was nothing in the pro-
ceedings that put the Associated
Press in the position of having I'M
clean hands.
Justice Brandeis, in dissent, said
that he believed that the opinion
rendered by the court had laid down
a dangerous principle which might
result in a denial to great number
of people of news that only the
board of directors of the Associated
Press secures and publishes He.said
that half of the news published in
various parts of the states and terri
tories is dependent on other than
Associated Press sources.

BROAD PASS TRAIL
NOW COMPLETED

M. J. Cooney, who was in charge
of the work of building trail to
connect the ends of steel of the
coast division and the Interior divi-
sion, has returned to town, having
completed the work and connected up
the trail near the roadhouse at the
Broad Pass summit with the trail
cut by the men from the coast end
of it.
There is now good, well defined
trail through from Ignite to Tai
keetna, and there is no danger of
the traveller getting lost, as has hap
pended occasionally heretofore. The
trail is staked all the way through
and, as stated in these columns some
time ago, where the trail leads
through country bare of timber,
tripods have been erected to mark
the trail and guide the traveller.
| The distance from the end Of
steel at this end to Talkeetna, where
the end of steel of the coast division
has now reached, is approximately
! $50 miles, and of this distance tie
gang under Mike Cooney has con-
structed 60 miles of trail, from Lig-
mite roadhouse to connect with the
trail built last fall by the men from
the Anchorage division, who finished
up to the Summit roadhouse, which
is about six miles below the pass
on the Susitna slope.
The old trail followed the rive,
to considerable extent, traversine
some places which were not con.
sidered very safe and other places
which were subject to frequent
overflows. These Objectionable
features have been eliminated AM
the unsafe places along the rivel
avoided. The present trail traverse:
only about twenty-five miles Of
river, viz: about 13 miles on The
Nenana river, miles on Jack rive
and on the Cantwell, where NJ
danger from overflows or any othel
cause exists
The trail beyond Ignite and VI
to the pass has an easy gradient an'
. team of five dogs hauling 500
, pound load recently made the uphill
/ pull with scarcely an effort.
, The distance between roadhouse
| is approximately from 18 to 2
, miles, and placards have bee
| placed at intervals along the trai
{ to inform the traveller just how fl
t he is from roadhouse.

The blond race only EXISTS be-
cause of the sharp cotrast between
night and day temperatures and be-
cause of the cold of the winter
and the heat of the summer. If we
had too much heat, or if the nights
were shorter, the direct rays of
the sun would convert us all into
brunettes. Hence the blond races
of the North and the darker races
of the tropics.

In 1886 there was a considerable
surplus in the United States, some

it was provided that the surplus
above 100000 should be appor-
toned among the different states to
be refunded whenever called for The
Legislature of Maine passed an act
accepting the share to which the
State was entitled.
On March 5, 1886, Governor Dun
lap approved a bill authorizing
Names share of the surplus to be
distributed among the several towns
in proportion to their population on
condition that it should be returned,
