Nearly two years ago a petition,!
largely signed, was presented to the
Judge of the Third division, represent
ing the necessity of a change of the
place of recording in Chitina precinct
from its present location at Chitina
to McCarthy. It was then stated, and
by conclusive testimony has since
-been shown to the judge, that ap
proximately 75 per cent of the busi
ness of this district emanated from
that portion of the district immedi
ately tributary to McCarthy.
After many delays and much cor
respondence, it was supposed by those
vitally interested, that the prayer of
the petition would be granted and the
relief asked for given. This supposi
tion was based on the statements of
those in authority at the time of the
recent visit of the court to McCarthy.
After a month and a half there is
still a lack of noise from Valdez
which would make the Sphinx sound
like a brass band.
The records of the precinct are
in the most sparsely settled portion
of the district, with the exception'of
half a dozen prospectors all those in
terested in mining in the district are
near McCarthy. It has been stated
that the large mining corporations do
not wish the records too accessible to
the public, but we have no reason to
believe that this is the fact. How
ever, whatever may be the reason for
delay prompt action of the officials
in charge would be most acceptable to
every man in this section.—McCarthy

NO WAR FOR STUDENTS
AFTER COLLEGE OPENS.
SEATTLE, Aug. 31. — Gilrnour Do
bie, football coach at the University
of Washington, has ceased to be an
extreme enemy of Mexico. When war
between this nation and the country
on the south threatened, and the Sec
ond Washington infantry, N. G. U. S.,
was sent to the border, Coach Dobie
became and has remained a rabid par
tisan. For the Second Washington
took with it 80 boys from the univer
sity, and among them were most of
the coach’s veteran gridiron warriors.
But a letter from the war department,
announcing that all students desiring
to enter college this next semester
would be discharged has made the
coach neutral and has brought a faint
streak of hope.
