DISTRICT COURT AT
NOME HAS FINE NEW
- , ++• 1- ,
FULL LAW LIBRARY
The U. S. District Court for the
Second Division, Territory of Al
aska, is now definitely installed for
the winter in its temporary quart
ers in the former Pioneer Mining
Company building located on First
Avenue, between D and E streets.
The new office appliances, desks,
chairs, typewriters and other equip
ment have now been moved into
places in the various departmental
offices. Considerable work attach
to the records, such as restor
ing slightly burned accounts and
etc., occupies much of the time.
A fine new law library was order,
ed by Judge J. H. S. Morison for the
court which includes the United
States Supreme Court Reports in
full; the U. S. Annotated Code; the
Federal Reporter in full, including
Digests; and the Pacific Reporter in
full with Digests, all comprising
about six hundred volumes. The for
mer Court Law library consisted of
approximately three thojUsand vol
umes, many of which at the present
time are no longer applicable.
In ordering the new law library
for the court Judge Morison, was
partciularly interested in securing a
basic and complete set of law vol
umes which would constitute a fine,
working library for the court dur
ing the coming winter.
Judge Equal To All Occasions
Judge J. H. S. Morison entered
upon his official duties soon after
his arrival here the later part of
August, and began immediately on
matters pending in court. In a few
days he was called upon to make
an airplane trip on official business
to Kotzebue, where several cases
were disposed of. This was Judge
Morison’s first experience in the
air, and he took to it like a sour
dough.
Returning to Nome by plane a
grand and petit juries were hastily
drawn for the convening of court in
September. The grand jury had
met and the Petit Jury was mak
ing its first appearance on the morn
ing of Sept. 17th when some one
smelled smoke and soon the court
house and court room was full of
smoke. Judge Morison in his quiet
and unassuming way, dismissed
court immediately, when it was
learned, that the Golden Gate Hotel
was afire and the flames spreading
to the federal buildings. The judge
and his secretary were two of the.
last persons to forsake their posts.
Like many others he lost practically
all his personal belongings in the
big fire which swept Nome that
memorable day.
Judge Appointed Administrator
- Things moved rather fast during
his short time in office, and short
ly following the fire he was ap
pointed Administrator of Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
activities in Nome. He has worked
hard with others on committees in
an eflfort to do good to the needy
of this section. His activities and
close scrutiny of matters have en
deared him not only to those intim
ately acquainted with him but
also with the public in general.
That he has made friends and is
making good in his new position as
federal judge is very apparent. If
one did not know he was a new
comer, personally, he would be tak
en as a regular sourdough, because
he does things in a manner like an
old time Alaskan.
The securing of additional funds
for the needy this winter, is the dir
ect result of his personal attention
to this important matter. >
