RESPECTFUL!.* ADDRESSED TO "OUT
SIDE" NEWSPAPERS THAT HAVE A
SENSE OF FAIRPLAY AND THROUGH
THEM TO THE NEXT SESSION OF
CONGRESS
I? '
In May last Judge Silas H, Raid,
recently appointed judge of the third
judicial divisiou of Alaska, left Fair
banks after holding bis first session of
court, saying ha would return in July
and hold another session. He bad
figured it all out by the schedules of
the steamer and railroad lines. He
was going to visit his old home at
Oklahoma, whence he had recently
come to Alaska. But he had not
counted on the uncertainty of navi
gation In this northern country: the
lakes were not open and the river was
low. He was much longer In making
Skagway than he had counted on. He
was not able to make the round trip In
the time be had figured and socalW
a later term. But the later ttrm also
lapsed for similar reasons. Important
cases were now pending at Valdez;
there were three murder cases, and a
ship load of Japanese had been
arrested and held there for trial for
seal poaching. Judge Reid wired the
district attorney at Fairbanks to go to
Valdez. Valde2. by the winter trail,
U 300 miles from Fairbanks, but in
summer this trail is made impassable
by turbulent and unbridged streams.
Mr. Crossley took steamer at Fairi
banks, down stream to the Yukon
river at Fort Gibbon, then up stream
to Dawson in Yukon territory, then
further up stream to Whitehorse, still
in Yukon territory. There he took
train over the White I'ass, 111 miles
to Skagway in Alaska. Uere he took
the ocean steamer south. Had he been
right to mike connection at Juneau
he would there have changed steamers
for the westward, but he found that
he could gain time and save mOv.ey
by going on to Seattle and there
taking ship by what is icnown as the
"outside," direct to Valdez, al'.hough
by so doing he added two thousand
miles to his journey? the distance
south to Seattle, while his real direc
tion was west. His entire journey,
cout of the third judicial division
and oack into it again? was 3,^00
miles, to attend a session of court that
will probably last oue month. A
month's time was consumed in the
journey. Over this track there fol
lowed a few days later the clerk of
the court.
All Alaska has been asking congress
for years to divide up ibis big division
and name a judge with headquartets at
Fairbanks, and to (jive VaiJez and the
south coast another judge, but it has
been met by lack of understanding and
sympathy. At Fairbanks there is a
long docket of important cases, crim
inal and civil. Many persons are in
prison awaiting a trial that seldom
comes. Common humanity impelled
the release of others on reduced bail
who otherwise would have been in jail.
Many civil cases involving thousands
and a few involving millions are
pending. Litigants are uttering loud
complaints while the court is out of
business or holding its sessions else
where. Fretting over an inability to
effect settlement of a mining-claim dis
pute* which ha? been In the courts for
years, two opposing claimants a few
days ago went to work on the claim
A shooting thai may be fatal was the
Immediata result.

Othkoth, Wisconsin
Dawsoaj Yukon territory, (Canala),
a place now ot much less Importance
and population to either Valdez or
Fairbanks, has three judges with con
tinued sessions of court during the
winter. All Alaska Is fretting because
of many conditions such as this ana
because of its Inability to make con
gress understand. Alaska is a liberal
contributor to the national treasury
and not a source of expense. It claims
the right to DEMAND relief but ita
demands are ignored.
STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO
That Mr. Roosevelt can declare thus
early that he intends in his message
to congress to recommend stateaood
for Xew Mexico is another indication
of how the president can chango bis
mind and apparently see no sham? in
It. In the battle for statehood which
formed so large a part of the history
of the 5!>th congrens, Mr. Roosevelt
stood for linking the two territories,
New Mexico and Arizonia, togother.
evidently, a little lime has shown him
that he was in error and he is not
ashamed to confess it.
