BRIDGE TO BE BUILT
ACROSS THE MIZINA
When interviewed on the Nor
thwestern, Colonel Richardson
gave some satisfactory informa
tion concerning the work to be
done in this sect inn of Alaska.
He gave positive assurance, that
the treacherous Nazina river was
to be bridged this winter. The
structure will be erected at a
point near the canyon, about three
miles from McCarthy, or'Mile 101.
The approach and bridge will be
about 800 feet long and will cost
$22,000. As it will not be pos
sible to place llie piers nlil the
water is low, active work will not
start until fall, although the ma
terial will all be assembled at. tho
end of the railroad ready for
freighting to the desired location
when the ground freezes.
Colonel Richardson states that
lhi« t'nited States transport Sher
idan will be here in the course of
a couple of weeks on its annual I
visit to the various military sta-j
lions on the coast of Alaska. C,ol
onel Richardson expects to sail
on the Sheridan from Valdez on
June 20 and go to Xome. From
there he will go up the river to
Fairbanks and come out over the
trail to Chit inn. and down the
railroad to Cordova. He slates
that there is more money avail-•
able this year than for some time:'
past and thai- be expects to gel. j
good results from the amount to
he expended.—Cordova Alaskan, j

The New York Evening Matt
declares that it does not "recall
a more glaring instance of ju
Jicial tyranny, nor one better cal
culated lo strengthen the move
ment for (he recall of judges."
"Socialism grows on such in
stances," remarks the Ndw York
Tribune, and the Philadelphia
North American brands it as a
'judicial iniquity." The New
i'ork Kvening Post declares that
under his ruling "an applicant for
citizenship who believe* in the
popular election of IJ. S. sena
tors might be rejected because
he constitution provides at pres
ent that senators shall be elect
ed by legislatures," anr} the Ghi

that Oleson has as much right to
advocate Socialism as other citi
zens have to advocate the recall
Df judges.
