ALAS KA1U DDES
BEING WORKED
If the territorial legislature meets
a little more often, after awhile the
judges of the district courts will have
more titles and positions and work
than would keep a regiment of clerks
busy.
The latest job to be slipped to the
judges (without pay) is that of sort
of adviser in chief, superintendent or
whatever you want to call it of the
citizenship night schools. He also
has to look after the indigents of the
territory; after the pioneers, the sick
and a few other minor positions.
The judges now only work from
about 9 o’clock in the morning until
midnight, disregarding the eight hour
law, for the violation of which they
are expected to punish others.
Yes, sir, two more terms of the leg
islature and they will have the judges
appointed auditors of all the business
houses of the territory, and in their
spare hours they may be expected to
make predictions on the weather.

The local registration board, consist
ing of George C. Hazelet, Hr. W. H.
Chase and E. F. Medley, together with
several clerks, have been busy during
the past few days giving those regis
tered in this district for selective draft
their red ink numbers. It is expected
that the list will be ready for publica
tion on Monday. There are a total
of 654 registered from this section, 444
of whom are from Cordova proper.

DAWSON. Y. T.. Oct. 13. — The
range of operations of the automobile
in the vicinity of Dawson is being en
larged every season, and the volume
of traffic handled by motor vehicles
in this region is enlarging rapidly.
With the remarkably successful intro
duction of the tractor in hauling wood
up Hunker creek from the Klondike
river last winter, and the gradual ad
vent of the motor truck in this dis
trict and the common use of the auto
bile, the big share of the traffic of
the camp is now being handled by mo
tor power.
As a result of the increased popular
ity and utility of the motor vehicle
the roads surrounding Dawson are be
ing constructed more and more with
a view to adapting them to that style
of traffic. During the dry period cars
travel from Dawson 25 to 50 miles
out with considerable ease. Granville
50 miles out, has been reached by cars
during the dry season for several
years. Quartz creek, 25 miles distant,
also is reached by car, and it is hoped
to have the road put in condition in
time to get the cars through on that
route as far as Black Hills and Eureka
creeks.
Money voted this year for the con
nection of the most famous of Daw
son’s scenic routes, that up Bonanza,
into a belt line, by repairing the up
per Bonanza stretch, was not used for
the reason, it is explained, that the
mining operations along that stretch
would have interfered. Some recom
: mend the switching of the proposed
belt line to Quartz creek, which would
make a circuit via Bonanza, Eldorado
and Hunker.
One of the most popular runs is up
the Klondike river. In rainy weather
the corduroy there becomes very slip
pery and dangerous. Big wood and
power operations up that river also
make it a most important route A
quarter of a million dollars' .vorth of
wood and logs come down the river
each season.

DAWSON. Oct. IS. — John Filburn,
publisher of the Ruby Record, died
in the hospital at Nulato yesterday.
He was well known throughout the in
terior, having been connected with
Dawson and Fairbanks newspapers be
fore embarking in business for him
self at Ruby. Representative Snow,
who introduced the prohibition bill in
the territorial legislature, was his
partner in the Ruby Record until re

Janies J. Godfrey, president of the
Mother I aide Copper Mines Company,
came to Cordova on yesterday's train
from McCarthy, accompanied by Mrs.
Godfrey, and will leave on the next
steamer eti route to New York, where
they will spend the winter. Mr. God
frey has spent the past couple of
months on his property in the inter
ior, which will soon be one of the big
copper producers of Alaska.
A large power plant has been erect
ed at McCarthy and transmission lines
run to the mine, a distance of fifteen
miles, to furnish power for the new
mill, just completed. An auto road
lias also been built, and everything is
now in readiness for the transporta
ion of ore from the mine to the Cop
ier River railway at McCarthy. The
lew mill will turn out fifty tons of
ligh grade ore daily, which averages
tbout sixty per cent copper. About
23,000 tons of ore have been blocked
)ut at the Mother I-ode mine, and auto
irucks will at once begin hauling it
:o the railroad, from which point ship
ments will start for the smelter about
November 1. It is estimated that 5,
)00 tons of this rich ore will be sent
:o the states during the coming
winter.
During the past summer over 150
men have been employed at the mine
ind on improvements, but as the lat
er have been finished for this year,
he force will be reduced, although 100
men will be given employment at the
nine all winter.
Next year the company intends ex
lending $400,000 on a new concentrat
ng plant, which will have a capacity
>f 5,000 tons daily, and in 1919 will
le able to pay a dividend. By that
line the investment made in improve
ments to the mine will amount to $1
100,000.
When President Godfrey was asked
n reference to the rumor that the
vennecott Copper Corporation intend
?d to take over the Mother Bode mine,
le refused to discuss it.

SEIZED VESSELS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Oct. 13. — Vessels cap
ured or seized by Great Britain dur
ng the war “In restitution for the de
struction and plunder of the countries
ind shipping of the allies," should be
old and the proceeds applied as part
if the war indemnity, in the opinion
if a committee of members of the
hamber of shipping of the United
kingdom and of the Liverpool Steam
hip Owners' Association. This com
nittee was appointed to ascertain
'hat Great Britain's trade policy
hould be after the conclusion of the
var. They recommend that the funds
lerived from the sale of enemy ves
els taken in war should not be ap
ilied to reimburse British shipping
iwners or underwrriters for lost ships,
tut should go to the general indemnity
und.
The committee asserts that, in de
ermining Britain's trade policy to be
idopted after the war, it should be the
irst care of the state to do nothing
o imperil the “preeminent position
he United Kingdom holds in the ln
ernational trade of the world.

0. 5. BAN STEEL
NEGESSITATEO

(By Associated Press)
TOKJO. Oct. 13—Baron Shimpei
Goto, Japan's Home Minister, has
characterized the United States' ban
an exportation of iron and steel as
pntirefy nerbsslfirlecr'by i,ie wifr and
as declaring that it is unreasonable
lor Japan to expect an absolute can
cellation or removal of the embargo.
The only way for Japan to approach
the question, he said, was to request
some exceptional treatment affording
Japan a smooth operation of the ship
building industry. He believed the
steel question would be settled sat
isfactorily. Baron Goto added:
“Recently the movement of the Jap
anese business bodies opposing the
American embargo on iron and steel
is becoming stronger and some agi
tators at times indulge inutterances
which are by no means pleasing to
America to hear. Such an attitude
an the part of our countrymen can
not be recommended. They should
abservc an attitude of calm circum
spection seeking the solution of the
problem by moderate and concilia
tory means. At the same time they
must not begrudge making sacrifices
n the cause of the war.”
