IAN TEACH AND
LONDON. Jan. 7. — A victory for
lerty of thought was achieved when
e Salford council, by a three to one
ajority refused to countenance an
tack made on a teacher in the tech
cal school, named Hudson. It was
dd that the tencher’s private views
d not in the least interfere with the
ficlent discharge of his duties even
his views, as an extreme pacifist,
jre unpopular.
It was not charged that Mr. Hudson
cached against conscription before
s pupils. Hudson also denied that
■ had conducted any propaganda
:ainst recruiting. His own opinions
?rc based on religious and eonscien
jus grounds.
EftTTLE PRODS CONGRESS
ON RAILROAD
Recognizing that unless immediate
tion is taken work on the govern
ent railroad in Alaska will have to
i suspended for the winter, with the
suit that the coal from the Mata
iska field will not become available
!xt year, the Alaska bureau of the
ew Chamber of Commerce present
I to the trustees of the chamber a
solution intended to enlist the sup
irt of the commercial organizations
the western states in urging Con
ess to pass the emergency appropri
ion of $2,000,000 to be used in Alas
in railroad construction, as required
Secretary Lane.
In response to a telegram from the
tirbanks Commercial Club, asking
at every effort be made to complete
at portion of the railroad between
.irbanks and the Nenana coal field,
e Alaska bureau decided to memor
ize Secretary Lane asking him to
>rk to that end.
In connection with the letter to Sec
tary Lane a statement of facts was
epared. This shows that there are
nety-three quartz claims In the Fair
nks region on which development
>rk has been done, and that twelve
these properties are equipped with
imp mills; that the output of these
nes up to 1914 was $851,096, and
it many of the properties were com
lled to cease operations because
the excessive cost of fuel.
The statement also shows that 375
mesteads have been taken up in
b Fairbanks district by settlers, and
at these settlers and the business
ople of Fairbanks are dependent
on a continuation of the develop
;nt of the quartz mines.

JUNEAU LOCAL OFFICE UPHELD ai
IN DECISION. in
- bi
The officers of the Juneau land of- rc
fice today received notice of the ac- ni
tion of the commissioner of the gen- m
eral land office in affirming a decis- N
1 ion rendered some time ago in the ei
case of the United States vs. James r<
Girdwood, involving a tract of 80 pi
acres of land on Glacier creek on ol
Turnagain Arm. It was charged that gi
Girdwood located on the land with a at
view to using it for speculative pur- ki
poses and that it was not his intention b:
to make his home there to the exclu
sion of a home elsewhere. In his let- Fi
ter to the Juneau office, the commis- th
sioner says: “After a careful review th
and under all the circumstances as Fi
shown in this case, it is the conclu- th
sion of this office that the entryman ia
did not make said entry in good faith w.
and with the intention of making the
land a home to the exclusion of one re
elsewhere, and his cultivation was pr
wholly inadequate to comply with the ni
homestead law, consisting as shown, bf
of a little garden of from a quarter to wi
half an acre." of
