MODE OF GREECE
LONDON, Xv. 10.—Tlie be

to the allies. The pro-German

mier, is likewise pro-Gennan.

Alaska, will be the guest of

ing tin* «tay of the S. S. Ad
miral Kvaus. Xo man in pub
lic life, il is safe to assert, lias
played such a proiniineni pari
in Alaska’s history since the
American occupation as the
distinguished guest who is to
visit us at this time
dune (i, 1900, James Wicker
sham, at that time a leader of
the bar in his home city of Ta
coma, Washington, was ap
pointed United States district
judge for the newly created
Third judicial division ofj
Alaska, which at the time
comprised that section of the
country now contained in the
Third and Fourth divisions of
the territory. Ilis headquar
ters were established at Fagle.
on the Yukon river.
Meanwhile, the weak and
impotent Judge Noyes presid
ed on the bench of the Second
division of Alaska, in which
the ureal mining damp of
Nome was located. Upon the
forced retirement of Judge j
Noyes,'due to his signal failure;
to handle the extremely dilli-;
cull situation at Nome, grow
ing out of the big mining cases1
arising there, Judge Wicker-j
sliani was sent by the depart
ment of .justice to the Second
division, to bring order id of
chaos. Within two years he
had cleared the calendar, and
at hi- own request was again
transferred to the Third divi
-ion of the territory.
During his long career oi
the bench. Judge Wickershain
has presided with firmness, ea
pability and fairness, in more
important cases than any
other Alaskan judge.
Yielding to the demands of
fiiends throughout the terri
tory, Judge Wickei’sham re
signed from the bench to be
come a candidate for delegate
to congress. Needless to say,
he was elected, going to the
sixtydirst congress for the
lirst time. 1 lb was re-elected
to the sixty-second, sixty-third
and sixty-fourth sessions of
the national law-making body.
The delegate’s great speech
in support of the bill author
izing the government to build
a trunk line railway system in
Alaska turned many votes to
tab support of that measure,
insuring its passage. The
town of Anchorage awes its
birth to the pas-age of that
bill and Ihe subsequent selec
tion of the Susitna. route by
the Alaskan Kngineering
Commission.
