CHITINA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1012.
JOHN W OSTRANDER FOR JUDGE
It seems to be generally accepted
that under the new Democratic ad
ministration the idea of self-govern
ment for Alaska will be carried out
literally. During the past adminis
tration many Alaskans have been ap
pointed to federal positions in the
territory, but under President Wilson
it is believed that all appointees must
have the qualification of a residence
in Alaska. The term of the present
Judge in the third judicial division
will expire next June. It is generally
accepted that a successor will be
named from this division, and that
this idea will be carried out in all
the different divisions.
And it is gratifying to the people
of this section of Alaska to note that
when a successor to Judge Overfield
is suggested that it is always the
ane name mentioned—that of Judge
John Y. Ostrander. He is generally
accepted as the one Democrat in this
division who is preeminently of Judi
cial timber. There is absolutely no
question of his qualifictions. All
admit that he is the logical man to
name for the place on the federal
bench. And it is doubtful whether
there will be another aspirant from
this division who will seriously hope
to receive the appointment. The
friends of Judge Ostrander have
taken the matter into their own hands
of urging his appointment, and if
tendered him he will accept the
honor.
Judge Ostrander has resided in
Valdez and Cordova for the past eight
or nine years, having law offices in
both places, as a member of the firm
of Ostrander & Donohue. He is one
of the big men of this section of the
territory, and has been a life-long
Democrat. In the earlier days he
held the position of United States
Commissioner at Juneau, during
President Cleveland’s second admin
istration, and with the exception of
a brief mining experience in the Klon
dike he has ever since been a resident
of Alaska. He knows the needs and
peculiar conditions of the country,
and as he is a man of force, character
and dignity, he would dispense justice
in a way that would merit the approv
al of attorneys and litigants. He is a
just man and would undoubtedly
prove a just judge.

SAX FRANCISCO’S GOAT
The United States Geographic
Board, which has been distlngushed
chiefly for its unfathomable rulings
gb nomenclature, has perpetrated a
new atrocity. The Island of Yerba
Buena, in San Francisco Bay, is rich
ih historical associations. It has fig
ured in the literature and traditions
«f the coats. The native sons proud
•f the State’s history ,are not unrea
sonably jealous of any interference
with the old Spanish names which so
picturesquely fit the scenery and add
attractiveness to the tourists and
wealth to the natives. Imagine, then,
the consternation and dismay with
which a decision of the geographic
board has been received changing the
poetic name of Yebra Buena to—Goat
Island!
All San Francisco and California is
in protest. If the change had been
to any name with the slighest pre
tense to dignity it would not have
been bad . But Goat Island! It
gets their “goat.” Inquiry at Wash
ington for an explanation of this ex
traordinary substitution revealed the
theory that it had been ordered be
cause that was the popular name for
the island. Tradition, history, litera
ture and even court decisions were
swept aside and "Yerba Buena”
wiped out for “Goat.” If the geo
graphic board is to substitute nick
names for time-honored nomencla
ture what place is safe from its van
dal hand? First thing we know they
may be changing Chicago to Arm
ageddon.
ALASKA’S SALMON' 1*ACK.
The salmon pack of Alaska for the
season, it is now estimated, will reach
a total of upwards of 3,000,000 cases,
with a market ready to absorb the en
tire output at remunerative prices.
The pack has increased steadily, year
by year, since 1902, and has now
reached record-breaking figures.
Next to the production of precious
metals, the packing of salmon is now
the largest industry in Alaska, and
the value of the salmon output prom
ises to approach closely to the gold
output. The increase in recent years
in the magnitude of the pack is due
to the increased number of canneries
and to the enlargement of the older
ones.
But unless there are better steps
taken in the future than in the past
by the federal government, which
controls the situation, the supply of
raw material is destined to decrease
rapidly in the future. The Alaska
output is out of all proportion great
er than that of the canneries of this
state of Washington, yet Washington
does ten times as much toward con
serving the salmon supply, toward
maintaing hatcheries and toward
making and enforcing proper regu
lations for the government of the
fisheies in this state as the federal
government is doing with tiio much
greater industry in .Alaska.
The difference is that the laws,
their enforcement, the- regulations
and the steps toward conservation,
in this state of Washington, are on
the ground, by those familii- with
local conditions and intent on pre
serving for all time an indus.rv of
great importance to the state. For
Alaska the laws are made by Con
gress, and the appropriations for
their enforcement are such as con
gress, caring nothing about the sub
ject, is prepared to make, with the
certainty that they will always be
inadequate. Now that Alaska has a
legislature of its own, it would be
well to turn the subject over to that
legilature, if the industry is to be
preserved.—Post-Intelligencer.

APPROACHING NEGOTIATIONS
The stubborn and successful—for
the time being, at least—defense of
Constantinople by the Turks has
brought the Balkan ailies to the point
of agreeing to the armistice and con
senting to negotiations. At -least
such is the news received this after
noon. In the meantime, the surren
der of Monastir, with numeous
Turkish army, strengthens the allies
more than they lost in prestige by
the repulse before Tchatalja.
Of course, the exact terms of the
peace negotiations cannot be fore
told. Its general effect, however, is
not hard to outline. European
Turkey, as it has heretofore existed,
is wiped out. The Turks will proba
bly retain Constantinople and a small
territory in its vicinity, but this is
Ucely to be under sufficient interna
tional supervision to insure peace and
some approach at sanitation. The
great bulk of her former territory,
now overrun by the four armies, wll1
go mainly to them. Exactly where
tlie boundaries may run, what cities
each will get and whether Austria s
hunger will be appeased are secrets
of the future. Within the latter
question is the issue of peace or war
for Europe.
But beside the general desire of the
greater Powers for peace, a new
weight has been put in the scale.
The Balkan League is now, as it
never has been before, a factor of
power. If the issue should be as to
the right of Austria to share in Bal
kan spoils, the 400,000 to 600,000
victorious soldiers would be a rein
forcement to Russia, France and
England which Triple Alliance might
well take Into consideration before
challenging the harzards of war.
A BRILLIANT EFFORT
Before the court now sitting at
Valdez the bench, bar and spectators
were given opportunity to hear real
Southern oratory on Monday. Albert
Fink, the celebrated attorney of
Nome and San Francisco, shot off
dazzling pyrotechnics for nearly five
hours in his effort to have the court
quash the indictment against banker
Varsons. It is said to have been a mas.
terly effort and was so replete with
pertinent citations that Judge Lyons
felt the necessity of taking the matter
under advisement. At the comple
tion of his effort the prosecution was
so non-plussed, by reason of the
many points scored by him, that it is
a mooted question as to whether they
have yet found out “where they are
at.” From the array of legal talent
engaged in what will go down into
history as the famous “Fairbanks
banking cases,” the people of this
section of Alaska who can attend the
court house at Valdez during the en
suing few weeks will be assured of
rare entertainment and brilliant legal
repartee.

Come, come, gentlemen and Demo
crats, step to the front. All the good
political plums in Alaska have not
yet been plucked. And in the grab
bing who can tell just whose hand
may clutch the ripest fruit. So don’t
be modest, but gently whisper it
among your friends that you may be
induced to serve your country, and
party.

that our neighboring town will get

A TRUE TALE OF TRAIL
v
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Nome Nugget, evidently fears that
sopie of the members of the tirst
Legislature from the Seward peninsu
la may be deterred from making the
trip to the Territorial capital this
winter. As a consequence the
Nugget marches ahead with the torch
of progress and improvement, and
blazes a trail that none need fear to
trod, as follows:
Within a very few years travelers
may go throughout A'aska and find
settlements of importance every
other day. Even now one may strike
for the coast in any direction and
find camps where can be found all the
comforts of home. Indeed there is
no reason any longer why one should
consider himself compelled to stay in
any one place by the distance to be
traveled between camps. Almost
without the knowledge of people new
towns are springing into being in
widely seperated places where noth
ing but wilderness was found a very
short time ago. This is true not only
of the territory near the Yukon river,
but also of the basins of the Kusko
kwim, the Koyukuk, the Tanana and
various less important streams. A
journey can be made nowadays over
the greater part of the interior Alas
ka and one is never more than a hun
dred or 200 miles from a large camp.
Where there was nothing a few years
ago we now have the Iditarod, Inno
ko, Ruby, Tanana, Hot Springs, not to
speak of Fairbanks, Chitina, Cordova
and the smaller settlements between
those mentioned.
One can get to Cordova and its rail
road and steamboats now from Nome
without anything like the hardships
formerly experienced and our legisla
tors will not really have such an aw
ful journey if they do go overland.
They can find good accomodations
in Nulato. A little more than a hun
dred miles further on they reach the
important town of Ruby. One hun
dreed and thirty miles further and
they reach Tanana, which is so large
that it talks of incorporation.
Up the Tanana a little and they
reach Hot Springs, an important min
ing camp. Then comes Chena and
Fairbanks, and a few hundred miles
away is Chitina, with its railroad and
Cordova in sight. So, without count
ing the ordinary road houses and
smaller settlements at all, one en
counters on the trail across Alaska
now large settlements hardly farther
apart than the distance by trail be
tween Nome and Candle.

J. L. Galen, and of course pretty
much everybody in Alaska knows
“Jim,” is now holding down a good
government position, at Belton, Mon
tana. A letter on the last steamer
assures us that he assumed bis duties
as superintendent of Glacier National
Park on November 21. The appoint
ment was the personal selection of
President Taft, and was the result of
a personal interview with the chief
executive. Friends in Montana last.
September persuaded Galen to apply
for the position. Unexpected opposi
tion in which his Alaskan record was
attacked aroused Galen’s fighting
blood and he immediately packed his
grip and took the trail for the White
House. He obtained a personal in
terview with President Taft two days
after the election, and as a result
received the appointment.
Mr. Galen succeeds Acting Super
intendent Chapman, who has been in
charge since the death last Jaauary
of Maj. Logan, who formely held the
position. He will have general sup
ervision of all the property in the
park. His appointment became ef
fective November 20 and is for four
years. Mr. Galen is well known in
Montana, being a brother-in-law of
the late Senator Carter, of that state.
Galen is a graduate of an Eastern
law school, but years ago gave up tne
law to go into silent places. tie
came out for a brief period during the
Nome stampede in 1900, and for
about eight months occupied the
office of United States Commissioner
in the Port Clarence district. He re
mained only as long as the mining ex
citement was at its height, and then
decided there were too many people
on the shores of Bering sea. So he
drifted back into the wilderness,
and continued traveling all over the
territory, coming to the semi-civili
zation of mining camps occasionaly,
and once in a while paying a brief
visit to the United States.
For a time he was connected with
the Dan Creek Mining Company, and
was of great assitance to Stephen
Rtreh and his brother Howard in
packing machinery for a saw mill
on Dan Creek, and otherwise aiding
in getting things in good *'*i ruing
order, lie left the Copper river coun
try during tlie summer of 1911 and
or several months afterwards worked
on a project to establish a big hun
ter’s lodge at McCarthy. He had
plans drawn for commodious build
ings. had arranged for pack horses
and other necessities, and then tem
porarily abandoned tlie project.
