In the first place, Norris is entirely

In the second place Norris is SO

DISAPPOINTMENT

The Isles of Greece! The Isles of
Greece!
Where Byron used to write and
rage,
1 hoped some time in tranquil peace
To spend thereon green old age,
And learn to speak the classic tongue
That burning sappho loved and sung
I hoped to loll there at my ease
To hear the, blue Aegean moan,
And dream about PraXitales
Who carved young women out OF
stone,
And steep myself in various lore
I'd not had time to learn before.
I've travelled round in La Belle
France
In England I am quite at home
I've seen the evening sunlight glance
From off ST. Peters lofty dome;
I've skated on the zuyder Zee
But Greece as yet is new to me.
Alas, shall not lay my head
Among those gardens old and fair
For Greece, I've lately learned, Is
dead
There are no moving pictures there:
And how can one know peace OF ease
Without attractions such as these?

THIRD DIVISION COURT HEADQUARTERS
(Juneau Empire)

Coke H his offices, the offices of Clerk of Court United States Attorney and United States Mar shal and their personnel There is nothing concealed about the movement at Anchorage open and above board.
 While this may lead to free for all fight, it is mat ter of course about which the residents of the Third D vision only are deeply concerned and for the Department of Justice to decide The question of which location IS o more convenience to the general public which lends itself more readily to the greater number of people with bus ness to transact is of importance However, the justice of taking away those offices from the town of Val dez under existing circumstances that admits of ar gument Undoubtedly there will be opponents to the An chorage movement and they should be given an oppor-
 ny to express their views before tho Department takes any action.
