TALK OF DIVIDING JUDICIAL DISTRICT.
A movement lias been started at Howard to have the Third
Judicial division divided and the permanent headquarters of
the federal court established' there. The Alaska Post says:
“With Heward as the terminal of the government railroad
and the logical transfer point to western Alaska, as well as the
gateway to Anchorage, Matanuska and other towns which will
soon be sprinkled across the Husitna valley, this becomes the
logical place for another district court.
“To ask th(> people of Anchorage, Knik and Matanuska to
go clear to Valdez to adjust their legal questions is as much to
be deplored as to ask the people of Chitina and McCarthy to
come here.”
In case there is a division of the district and Seward or
Anchorage is selected as the westward headquarters the busi
ness of Cordova, the Copper River valley and Katalla would be
of sufficient importance to demand the removal of the court for
the present district lying east of Seward to Cordova.

A POLITICAL BOUQUET.
Politicians believe they see some significance in a bouquet
which former Vice President Fairbanks tosses at former Presi
dent Roosevelt, his 1004 running mate, in an article in “Pros
perity,” a monthly magazine. Mr. Fairbanks says Roosevelt
“carried forward loyally and successfully the policy of Mc
Kinley,” and adds:
We reached a higher level than ever before under
William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and William
Howard Taft. These statesmen comprehended the
the nationl needs, enforced tin* laws and set high
standards in public service. They were i nthe best
sense constructive.
The former vice president also says:
The people have recorded their judgment against
the republican party only three times since the first
election of Mr. Lincoln. Twice they subsequently re
gretted it, and if there is any veracity in the signs of
the times, they will surely, if they do not already, re
gret their third departure from the well-tested policies
and administration of the republican party.

The business outlook for the winter is better than it has
been for several years.
The small boy was very much in evidence Saturday night
and through his pranks the merchants and people generally
were reminded that Hallowe’en was being celebrated.
Too much care cannot be exercised by skaters, as the lake
is not frozen over solidly and a few cases of breaking through
the ice have been reported.
The first of the new equipment for the Copper River &
Northwestern railway has arrived. It is a snow plow and as
soon as the additional engines and freight cars ordered are
delivered the two tran a day schedule will go into effect.
This increased service is necessary to handle the big shipment
of copper ore from the interior.
