"(J. S. Marshal estimates general
nineteen sixtuen court term would
have cost fiftoen thousnd dollars
m<ru at Anchorage, which is near
ex'reme northwest limit of popular

o'.«ewhere.. Permanent business
interests much larger in. other paits
of division than at Anchorage.
Nearly half population in Anchor
age districts are railry^ul workers
on construction who will leave

small business houses will leave
Anchorage with la]>creis. No

"I* region reached by govern
