ALASKA COURTS

Ketchikan is again asking for the appoint ment of fifth judge to preside in the First Division with hearquarters at Ketchikan or the creation of fifth Division to comprise the extreme southeastern part of Alaska. We are not familiar with the merits of this demand but as it has been consistently urged there IS no doubt that the court business of the First Division is too much for the present judicial organization.
 The Seward Gateway sometime ago pro- posed that Territorial Supreme Court be or ganized to handle the appeal cases coming from the District Courts which are now carried to the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco To create such court would necessar- fly cause reorganization of the judicial sys- tenn now existing in the Territory. Perhaps under this reorganization the need of a fifth judge for the District Court in Alaska could be supplied-Seward Gateway

HOW TO GET CONSTRUCTIVE PUBLICITY

Now is the time to push the "See America First" propaganda. Tourists of wealth and liesure almost everywhere, keenly desire to see Alaska, but they know little or nothing about conditions of travel. The press of the country is perfectly willing to tell about AL aska, if the material is supplied, authorita- lively.
 Chambers of Commerce in the Northwest and throughout the country are said to be eag- CT to help spread the fame of Alaska and their publicity bureaus are at the Northland's dis posal The one at Seattle is noted for efflc- iency.
 Contemplating the possibilities of publicity, as primary need, the Alaskans are ready for unified effort. It should be organized meth odical and regular.
 The best magazines not only are willing to tell about Alaska, but their editors will pay for good material. This fact has been demon strated by 'FLeslie's Weekly" and other simi- lar publications "AlasSa, Garden of The World," in Lesie's late in 1918, giving an in terview with Professor Georgeson in charge of the Alaskan farm experiment stations, prob ably had profound effect upon public o1'ln- ion throuohout America. Articles of this kind reach the right people.
 There's an epic story waiting for some en- terprising magazine or for a newspaper syndl- cate-the potential resources of the Cordova district, it's oil, coal, gold and other minerals.
 If an avalanche of publicity can be started, well directed and authoritative, there will be a different story to tell of progress in the next two or three years, and the results will bring universal blessing.
