 Off Court Docket

Settlement out of court was re- ported today as the $5,000 civil acc ton of Irving Havican against Mitchell and Augustine Corden was withdrawn from the court of com- mon pleas where 1t had been await ing trial by jury.

 At the time of the crash, Corden was driving recklessly, and Havi- can, who was a guest passenger, claims to have been seriously in- jured. The plaintiff was employed by the city as trucker.

tlAcK TIME ABOARD.
(By Alex Cameron)

Isn't ii high time that for the benefit of the rising genera tion better understanding of the geogr aphy and the facts reg ard ing the development of Alaska and Yukon Territory should be made known, especia Fly when an Alaskan writer in an Alaskan magazine credits Alaska with the golden cargo; the good ship Portland brought into Seattle, that historical day in 97 and claims Bonanza creek to be a tributary of the mighty Yukon and that Alaska gold made Seat tie.
 AS matter of fact, there w ere at that time no Bonanza camps in Alaska. Circle of the early nineties, produced a little gold but not until the discovery of the Nome Beach in 1899, and the Fairbanks strike of l9O3-4, did Al aska get into her stride as a gold producer
 The strike on Klondike-Da w. son Cjty-on inc Can adian side, boomed the coast towns, and drew attention to the possib li- ties in Alaska. The Circle City miners, the real honest to good ness Alaskan pioneers, help ed greatly in Klondike's develop- ment, while Dawson in turn help- ed Fairbanks to becoTI1e a win ner.
 In 1904, hordes of miners left Dawson, disgruntled on account of taxation and high handed of ficials to take chance in Fair banks. Although little was known of it, brawn, money, and mach inery flowed to the new camp. Then a business mans greatest problem was to change the food of Canadian $2OO bills, for there was very little gold dust or Ann eIican money in evidence.
 As to Seattle, trickle that ev- entually became stream of gold poured in her coffers furnishin g the momentum that tra nsformed her from a town of unfinished buildings, hacks, sawm ills, logs, lumber and tide flats, into a mod ern city, dominant in world trade
 AS to Pioneers their grand daddies were Robert Campbell who founded Fort Selkirk in Yu- kon Territory in the early fortieS and Alexander Hunter Murray who built Fort Yukon in l847,
