iSBORNE BROS.
SPENCE
The nppoln'ment of District at
torney Spence to the bench of the
Fourth division to succeed Judge
Fuller, who recently resigned, would
not meet with approval there, if the
following from the Alaska Citizen, of
Fairbanks, voices the sentiment of
the people of that division:
"District A'torney Spence, of the
Third division, who, if reports are
correct, has gained much popular op
position within his jurisdiction, has
gone to Washington to seek appoint
ment as United States judge in this
| division. It is to be hoped that be
fore appointing Mr. Spence the attor
ney-general takes the trouble to In
vestigate the causes of the candidate's
unpopularity, as it Is easier to make
a mistake in the appointment of an
official than it Is to cerrect it.
“It is possible that Mr. Spence has
been misrepresented on the coast by
his opponents, and if so he will be
able to prove this satisfactorily to
the officials in Washington. But as
the reports reflecting upon his official
| duties there comes from various sour
Ices that seem to be without malice,
there is a serious possibility that he
is not the man wan'ed to administer
justice in Fairbanks.
"The Citizen does not know Mr.
Spence. Mr. Spence is a democrat,
and the Citizen is the only democratic
newspaper in interior Alaska, and,
therefore, this newspaper would not
oppose bis appointment, If It can be
shown that an injustice lias been
done him.
“In a recent Issue of the Seward
Gateway Mr. Spence is criticised for
having the only moving picture show
in that place closed on Sundays, there
for forcing the men of the camp to
seek more harmful sources of recre
ation on that day. The enforcement
of this 'blue law’ at the request of
one preacher has created much oppo
sition to Mr. Spence.
“Following the report from Seward
about the closing of the moving pic
ture show there there comes a re
port in a telegraphic item to the Cit
izen that Mr. Spence has failed to
close up the moving picture show in
Valdez, his home town, for the evi
dent reason that his own son is em
ployed in that theatre.
"But that is not so serious, after
all, as the way the Valdez grand jury
went over his head to the judge of
the court in regard to the allegation
that Mr. Spence had advised people
who were not citizens, and therefore,
t
not legally allowed to vote, that it
would be all right for them to vote
nt the recent election.
(
“When the matter was brought to
Ms attention by the court, It is re- |
norted that Mr. Spence denied that ,
le had advised the foreigners to vote. ,
However, if reports are true, there (
was more than one illegal vote cast (
upon the approval of Mr. Spencw
It is asserted that women who hat
married foreigners had been advisee
by Mr. Spence that they should gc
ahead and vote, regardless of the
fact that the law is clear upon the
subject. It is also reported that
Mr. Spence told a foreigner who had
never been naturalized that he might
vote upon the grounds that he had
served in the army of the United
States.
"The trouble with this is that those
people have committed a serious
trlme that may send them to prison,
hrough the alleged advice of n man
vho is supposed to protect them. It
teems from the reports from Valdez
hat the grand Jury is considering the
natter of indicting these alleged vot
ers.
"The Citizen does not believe that
he department of justice should hc
mpt these reports as correct or as
intrue without some investigation
>ut it does believe that in justice to
he people of this community that
Ir. Spence should he vindicated of
best- charges before he ir given the
ppointment.”
7011 TONS OF SPUDS
RAISED IN TANANA
ITpon request, the Fairbanks land
office has sent H. H. Bennett, the
personal representative of Secretary
of the Interior Lane, who was sent
through Alaska fast summer to ex
amine into agricultural conditions,
some data regarding the number of
homesteads taken up in the Fairbanks
district, and other information regard
ing the farmers of the Interior. The
records of the land office show that 53
homestead entries have been made,
jand indications are that there will be
i many more witbin the next year,
j The Commercial Club also sent Mr.
| Bennett some data regarding the
i amount of produce raised there dur
ing the last summer, the amount con
sumed in the Tanana valley, and the
prevailing prices of staple farm pro
ducts. According to the figures senr
Mr. Bennett 700 tons of potatoes were
raised in Fairbanks and vicinity, while
125 tons were Imported from the
States.
-:o:
A large band of Caribou passed ''
through Yukon Territory, within a few
I miles of Dawson, recently, which were j
eagerly hunted by many of the Daw- i
son people. This leads the Dawson
News to remark that the “Lord tem
per the wind to the shorn lamb.”
This quotation seems appropriate, al
though it is explained that Davvsonites
as a rule do not exhibit many lamb
like qualities.
