The Cleveland Loader disagrees i
with tlie remedy proposed by Secre

because it does not propose, iu !
the Lender's opinion, immediate and
definite action with reference to the

Judge Fr. vlerick E. Fuller, of the
ijderr'.l court at Fairbanks, refused
to accept the report of the grand
jury there last week, because It se
verely criticisd I lie conduct of Dis

Y.;ere v.-as an accident at the pub
lic school last Wednesday, says the
\V range! 1 Sentinel. The steam heat
is on the hummer today and the
school is out of business. Apparent
Iv there was a fire started in the
furnace and after the boiler
was hot, col-' water was turned in
and the whole front section burst

curranc'o to happen at this time of
the year when the hea is an abso

this body under the direction of
George J. Beck, superintendent of
missious at that place, have passed
several improvement ordinances. The
town has already commenced making
street improvements and otherwise
modernizing the community. The
custom of liviii" in tribal or com
munity houses is being discouraged
and many of the inhabitants are
building individual family habita

Tho new detention hospital in
Fairbanks is now completed and
ready for use. As there has been
no appropriation made by the gov
ernment for the new hospital, it is
not known when it will open. The
citizens of Fairbanks :'re indignant
over the matter as they donated the
lot on which the hcspial was built.
Thirty eight gold dredges were
operated in Alaska in 1912, com
pared with twenty seven in 1911, ac
cording to tlie United States geol
ogical survey. lu addition to those
a dozen or more were in various
stages of contruction. It is es
timated that these dredjres handled
between 3.000.000 and 3,500,000
cubic yards of mater'al, recovering
gold to the value of $2,000,000.
Judge C. I). Murane, who recent
ly was summarily removed from
tho federal bench at Nome by order
of Attorney General McReynolds, is
preparing to bring suit in the court
of claims for the salary that he
would have received during the rest
of his term. Murane will base the
suit on the grounds that the civil
code of Alaska, enacted by congress
in 1300, provides that judges of
the territory shall be appointed for
a term of four years unless sooner
removed for cause. Murane's term
does not expire until December 19
next and by that time his salary
will have amounted to ?8,600.—Cor
