Litigation in Alaska range. We have, in addition poration, commercial and other law that occupy the attention of the courts in agricultural, commercial and industrial com- munities, a lot to do with mining, admiralty and other branches that apply to the activities of this country. Judge should be selected with local conditions in mind. The First Division of Alaska has been, gen- erally speaking, fortunate in the character and qualifications of the Judges we have had in the last third of century. Since the Klondike stampede that brought people mnorth by the thousands have had, beginning with Judge Arthur K. Delaney and terminating with Judge T. M. Reed, competent lawyers, and, usually, well balanced, understanding and merciful men on the bench. Nearly all of them have been men who had long of active and successful practice before their selection. Following Judge Delaney, a man of exceptional ability and legal attainments, and of Alaska experience at the bar, we have had Judge Charles S. Johnson, likewise qualified, Judge Melville C. Brown, an outsider but an able and actively practicing lawyer for several decades, Judge Royal S. Gun- nison, young in years and an outsider, but clean and able, Judge Thomas C. Lyons and Judge Robert W. Jennings, both having all the desire- able qualifications, and Judge Thomas M. Reed, likew lawyer of many years of Alaska law practice and previous judicial experience.

Although area of the polar sea remains un- there is little evidence that nature has island outposts amid the wilderness of It is certain that no large land mass exists. Explorers long have held to the belief that land would be found in the Beaufort Sea, to the north of Alaska. This theory was based upon the action of the ice pack and upon the flight of birds.

The ahsence of suitable landing prevent polar flights from becoming a long time. The short route to the top of the world will remain a but it will be a long time before ordinary mortals will attempt it. There may be a remote chance that the Nobile expedition will find land far to the westward of the route taken by the Wilkir son plane or by the Amundsen-Ells- worth-Nobile dirigible.

(New York Times.) In the fifth number of the new Texas nlaga- zine, Bunker’s Mcnthly, appears a translation of an article published last year in Die Literatur of Stuttgart, Germany. The author, who had made a collection of German-Texan poetry, was seeking interviews with two writers, Walter Gray and Gertrud Hoff. The editor of an Austin paper had given him vague directions throvgh which he had come to farm lands whose owners had heard of the writers but who could not point out their homes. Finally a woman whe was plowing dropped work and invited the to come in, promising to produce Mr. Her ten-year- old-son, speaking sometimes in English and some- times in German, asked intelligent questions about Germany while she changed her rough clothes for more conventional attire. When she reap- peared she announced that the stories of the lo- cality appearing under the name of Gray were her own work. In the discussion that followed she quoted from memory a number of Gertud Hoff’s lyrics. The poet, she said, had been cut off by the aristocratic German immigrants who made up her family and friends because of her marriage to a Mexican. She herself, it appeared, had also mar- ried a Mexican, Then she confessed that she was Gertrud Hoff. Having discovered this much indirectly of its versatile countrywoman, Bunker's Monthly might do a little investigating itself. Perhaps it will print some contributions by Walter Gray and Gertrud Hoff. her The Indians Again.
