Justice Roberts Urue,
Lawyers 10 Do Best
On Every Case
DepIores Attempts by
Some to ReIux Rules
For Posing Bor

Lawyers are dishonest If they fail
to prepare every case-rlo matter
how trivial-to the best Of their
ability, Justice Roberts last night
told members Of Marshall Inn, the
George Washington University Law
School Chapter Of Phi Delta Phi
Legal Fraternity. He spoke at the
groups annual spring dinner at the
Raleigh Hotel.
'The test Of an honest lawyer"
the jurist said, "is in his devotion
to the daily tasks of practice. Case
after case Is thrown away by law
yers who go to court unprepared.
There is no more consecrated work
than the right work of a lawyer.
The memory of clients served faith
fully is to be treasured. Lawyers
should do their level best in every
case"
Justice Roberts said he regarded
the practice of law as q great
profession" and he fondly recalled
his own experiences both as a law
yer and as q teacher prior to his
appointment to the Supreme Court
a decade ago.
Favors Rigid Rules.
He echoed the regrets Of other
speakers who deplored attempts by
some to make it easier to pass the
bar. He recalled incidents that he
knew OF years ago when Phila-
delphia lawyers were allowed to
sldestep hurdles that stood between
them and active practice.
But he pointed out that Pennsyl-
vania, his home State. now has very
rigid rules, making it difficult to
register as student in law and
also to pass the bar examinations.
Law students today have a ter
rible grind" Justice Roberts said,
"and there is a question of whether
we have lost some of the character
OF ethical training in concentrating
on intellectual preparation"
The jurist said he was doubtful
OF the value of some law courses,
believing that actual experience was
the best teacher. He related how a
professor once said: Roberts, the
school of experience is the only
one fool can learn in"
G. w. Dean Speaks.
Dean William Cabell Van Week
OF the George Washington Univer-
sity Law School said the biggest
business in Washington, next to
making laws, is making lawyers" I"
But he assailed attempts to lower
the standards to admit unframed
persons to the bar. He said he be-
lieved in democracy, but not to the
point where everybody is allowed
to do any job, regardless of quail
fications.
William Alfred Rose, internation-
al president of the fraternity, who
came from Birmingham, Ala, to at
tend the banquet, reminded that
Phi Delta Phi had turned out four
Presidents, a dozen Supreme Court
justices, hundreds of Senators and
Representatives, and thousands of
prominent lawyers. In all, he said,
there have been $4,000 members
since the fraternity was founded in
1884. He urged the present men,
bers to live up to their organizations
ideals.
Frederic j. Ball was chairman of
the Banquet Committee, and Oliver
w. Hayes, magister of Marshall Inn,
presided.

AIaska Had Militia
 In Nineties

The National Guard which will be organized in Alaska in the near future is noV' the first in the Ter ritory's history.
 Back in the nineties Alaska had guard, as is proved by a yellow ing photograph and a tattered flag in the Territorial Museum here.
 The 30 men and drummer boy of the 1st Regiment, Alaska Milf tia, polished up their six rifles, set their spiked helmets at the proper angle and posed for their picture at Skagway on Memorial Day. 1899.
 The photograph, a gift of the late John Mclaughlin, Is captioned list Regiment of A.N.G., Memorial Day, 1899, Skaguay." AN.G. is be- lieved to stand for Alaska Ma tional Guard"
 The Regiments silk flag had A stars.
 Reason for disbanding the Guard, according to the Rev. George Beck of Ketchikan who visited here re- gently, was that the United States feared Canada would consider the Alaska militia threat to peaceful relations between the two countries.

ALASKA HIGHWAY IS CRITICIZED AZ
 WELL AS PRAISED
Recent Canadian Comment Calls Proposal Absurd
 and IntoIerabIe'

Not all the talk about the Inter- national Highway is favorable, by any means. Even in Alaska many dissenters will be found
 A Canadian opinion damning the Alaska Highway as mot only absurd, but intolerable" was set forth in an article by c. M Campbell in a re- cent issue of Maclean's Magazine. Title of the piece, which answers another recently published in the Canadian periodical, is Another Opinion on the Alaska Highway: Forget It."
 Campbell writes that the highway would cost much more than it would be worth, that few travellers would use it and that it could not con- pete for convenience, speed and beauty with the Inside Passage wa ter route.
 This does not mean" the article states, that ultimate justification for the road may not be disclosed but it does mean that justification is not in sight and that this gen. eration would do well to banish the idea from its dreams and concern itself with actualities that are fac- ing it on all sides"

Biggest King
 Salmon Taken During Year

A monster King salmon-one of the record fish of all time = was caught during the past year in Southeast Alaska waters.
 The fish, taken from the Point Colpoys trap at the north end of Prince of Wales Island on July 3l and canned in the Petersburg can nery of the Wards Cove Packing Co.,, was probably the largest ever taken in Alaska, as far as authentic records are concerned.
 Earl Dinner, who saw the salmon in the cannery, reported to the Bu- reau of Fisheries 1t had dressed weight of 104 pounds. Making very conservative allowance of Is per cent for loss in dressing would make the live weig h.t something around 120 pounds.
 The big King measured 53k in ches from tip to tail and 38h in- ches in maximum girth, having a tail spread of IT inches. The fish was in bright condition, with red meat and contained no spawn, in- dicating that despite its great size it was not yet mature.

Five-Day Ride
 On Ice FIoe Fails To Fare Eskimo

If anyone has ever doubted the hardness of the Arctic Eskimo, 2l- year -old John Anocozuk of the King Island tribe recently set those doubts aside.
 For five days in January the Native youth was afloat in the icy stretches of the Boring Sea on a runaway" ice foe.
 Back with his tribe members on the island SO miles west of the AL aska mainland, he recovered from a severely frozen face and ice-blis- tered feet
 Ice Breaks Free
 John and his dog were seal hunt ing when a large chunk of ice on which they were walking cracked loose from the main body of the frozen crust and was whisked away by the current toward Siberia.
 Frank Whaley, Nome pilot for Wien Airlines, flew more than 200 miles over the seaWays in search of the youth, but to no avail.
 Days passed, and Johns tribal companions gave him up for lost. Nonetheless, they maintained daily watch from a high hill on the is- land.
 Then, on one of those freakish currents which occasionally swirl in northern waters, Johns ice floe moved into sight of the island after five days. Rescuing Eskimos set out for the ice block in their oomiaks, and soon the cold stricken Eskimo was safe at home.
 During his days and nights on the ice. John. had killed a seal. He and his dog shared the raw flesh to keep them alive.

and fish products shipped from Alaska during 1889 was $35, 5,894,33 as compared with $44,932,980 for 1888, or a decrease of $9,038, ,649. Shipments of canned salmon, a major item in the tabulation of fish and fish products, show de- crease in both pounds and value. During 1889 shipments of canned salmon aggregated 247,046,714 in pounds and $29,976,665 in value while during 1888 shipments totaled 339, ,388,820 pounds at a declared value of $38,633,965. Comparison of these figures thus shows a de- crease in 1889 of 92,342,106 in pounds and $8,567,30 in value
 Gold Shipments
 Shipments of gold from Alaska during the calendar year 1889 to- taled $2O,O73,913 as compared with $21, ,32l, ,442 in 1888, or a decrease of $1,247,529
 Shipments of furs and fur skins, including furs and fur seal skins from the Pribilof Islands, during 1889, amounted to $2,565, ,590 as compared with $2,633,738 for 1888, or a decrease of $68,148.
 There was a slight falling off in passenger travel from the con- tinental United States and Canada to Alaska during 1889. During the year a total of 35,403 persons ar rived at ports in Alaska, as com pared with 36.825 during 1888.
 Plane Travel Increases
 The report shows a record num- Der of ITS airplanes in service in the Territory; a record number of passengers 29,699; record n.m- Der of plane miles, 3,232,931, and a record mail and freight load of 4719,398 pounds. Only in passen- ger-miles flown did AlaSka's air. ways show a drop, from 5,634,461 in 1888 to 5,26O,524 in 1889, which record however was far better than in any year except 1888.

this is shown in the mining indus
 try not only by the actual under taking of a number of new enter prises but also by the formulation of plans that look to future develop ment. The growing use of me- chanical equipment at many of even the smaller properties is having a noticeable effect in increasing the amount of material handled and at the same time decreasing the costs. This economy is of special import ance, as it extends the life of many of the properties and adds to their potential reserves through making it possible to mine successfully ma terial of lower grade. The prompt repayment, when due, of such loans as had been made by the Recon struction Finance Corporation to aid in the development of Alaska projects has encouraged that or ganization to extend it's Aelp tc other worthy properties in the Ter ritory, and during the year credit of more than a million dollars was given for one of the placer opera
 tions in the Tolovana district. AL though 1t is probably true that the days of bonanza mining in Alaska by individuals is past, the recent large-scale developments in the Goodnews, Fairbanks, Circle, Tolo- vana, and Marshall districts, as well as in many of the other camps, are irrefutable proof that oppor- tunities still may be found for com- petently planned and efficiently ad- ministered mining projects at many places in the Territory.
