fOR FAIRBANKS
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Fairbanks, July 10.- This city is to
see the liveliest newspaper war this
summer thai has ever taken place in
\ the far north, if indications count for
anything. There are soon to be publish
ed here three daily newspapers whose
' struggle for survival will be handi
capped by as many more jobbing prim
ing plants.
The Daily News, which is owned by
Frank Cleary, and the Fairbanks Dank,
was very bad'y crippkd by the late
re. its cylinder press i>eing destroyed
and its linotype ba.lly in uted, uecessi- ;
tatmg its reduction to four columns to 1
accommodate it>elf to a )ob press.
The Times, previously published!
weekly, found itself thus on an even
footing, so far as e?[U!pmen'e was coc
cerned, am". immediately entered the
^ laiiy lield. is-uitii* in the morning. It j
, then became a race to which of the ?
?.wo enterprises won Id react* Fairbanks I
with a complete plant. The News tel-j
I egraphed to Olympia and bought
plant in operation there, which wt
shipped at once. But Wilbur Wan
for the Times, was already outside an
purchased a complete plant which h
had already on the way in. His arrivt
marks the first change in the situatio
and gives him a distinct advantage
the Time issuing today in the form <
a six column daily, while the News
i which has held the field exclusively fo
I two years, is still limited in size to
job press. The News' outfit is expect
ed daily.
In the mean time W. F.^Thompsoi
has arrired and is making arrange
ments for the publication of the Even
ing Miner. His plant? said to be th
most complete printing plant shippei
into the north? is on a steamer comin;
up from St. ..Michael. When they al
get going, life in Fairbanks is expectet
to take on a new and feverish interes
aside from that felt in the next statu
pede.

I [Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan] i

duration ensued although not a great
many fatalities resulted. Several of

Judqe Wickersham Returns
Hod. James Wickersham judge of the
third judicial district arrived on the
Dolphin last night and left for Fair
banks this morning where he will hold
court.
Judge Wickersham was summoned to
Washington immediately upon his
arrival out from Fairbanks last spring
to answer the charges preferred against
him there by unknown complainmeuts.
He has been held there evor since by j
direction of the department of justice j
I that he might have an opportunity to
I answer those charges as they were
I supplemented from time to time. That
he answered them to the entire satis
faction of the department of justice is
manifest in a letter to the president
from Attorney General Moody and
which letter the president turned over
to the judge. In the letter the attor. |
ney general urgrs the president to
make the recess appointment in case
the Senate refused to confirm the nom
ination, characterizing Judge Wicser
sham as one of the most upright., trust ?
worthy ami capable officials that had
come to Alaska, and a judge that had
demonstrated peculiar ability on the
bench.
Judge Wickersliam in an interview
this morning dismissed the subject that
has absorbed the people of the Third
district for so many months, in a few
words.
"It simply amounts to this." said' the
judge." The rules of the senate recjuire
unanimous consent for the disposition
of matters of this kind. Every senator
can talk on any subject as long as he
wishes, and it lies in his power, there"
fore, to prevent action. The purport of
the charges are well known. The op
position to me in the senate amounted
to just five votes. But those five were
enough to prevent confirmation. When
it was decided to pass my name on ac
count of this, I was directed to return
to AUsIca, the president assuring me
that so long as he remained in office, I
should be judge in Alaska, if it pleased
me to be. That is all there is to the
matter."
Judge Wickersham will go direct to
Fairbanks where there is a long docket
awaiting him. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Wickersham.
