A bill such as the one which has
beoa iuiroduced Into th© House of
Hoi rcscntatives tj Mr. Huston con
ferring on the jiresident, tho right
*o create a military zone along the]
govt: .;.!eut railroad is oertainly not,
m leeptng with vur modern idea of ,
so' d government. It places at the '
ili of tho Engineering Com- '
missicu the right to rule thij district i
with autocratic power. Not that j
the commission would use the:
right conferred upon them, but i*
pl-K\s in t!ieir hands the tools
whicN speak against good govern
ment.
The average layman does not un
der.»;aad the significance of the act
u:iles-s he is in close touch with the
past condition of the district It
wou:d give the commission power to j
purol the distrii-t with soldiers, the J
power to keep a"ny person off the J
zoue, «i:e power to settle any labor
difficulties which may arise. W"9
bvl»e\e that all power granted
>ho>i;d be in the laws of the terri- J
'.orv of Alaska and uot vested in
-i single body.
la .oine respects it is a direct re
but: to the people of Alaska. It
certaj.-ly signifies that we, aa a
bo.lv, a«"e not capable of passing thu
pr»j>vr laws for our own care' and
protection. It signifies that we are
r garded us uot being able to fully
cv>e with the situation and proper
'y .'u. >! personal and real property.
If the railroad wag being built
in a section where 'here were no
laws, hi system of property pTo
t- '.ion already in existence or in a
foreigu 20110 where the present laws
were uo' in harmony with the gen
ir.-l l.iv of the United States, then
such a bill would be in keeping
with -..venimert policy, but to en
act such a law in a district
wh>. re ;. ws already exist and touch
auj concern the subject matter,
-uca t iaw is not iu accordance with
the movement for a fuller Terri
torial government.
We ieel positive that our dele
sate who represents the Alaskan
people and interests in that law
making body will use every effort
to b'.oiV. the useless legislation
an-' tight for a fuller Territorial
gnut cf powers.
Tomorrow is the day sot apart by
the p<o »le in honor of file mothers
<-f th» iaud. Churches all over the
L'ni'ed ~ates will pay tribute to
*h<? mother. A jvmbol of purity and
righteousness, recognized in the
wearing of a white flower, will be
wi ru duiing the day by the great
mass of people. May we not all
join in the homage due to our
mcthtrs—it was she who has clung
in lovo to us all these years re
gardless of ottr successes or revers
es. All others may have forsaken
us au'i scorned our ambitions and
achievements but 'he mother has
begu steadfast in her love and af
fection for her offspring. Those
who have the great fortune to hon
or her by associating with her
should be especially glad. Those
who must bring back the fond recol
lections of former times when she
was alive are surely extended the
h-urt felt sympathys of the form
er. A. humanitarian duty confronts
each of us to, in some way, live up
to 'he custom which has been set
and join in the commemoration of
the event.
Tho action on the part of the
Arctic Brotherhood to pay tribute
and honor to the pioneers of Alaska
and those who nave devoted their
life to worthy causes is significant
of the noble work and ambitions
of that organization. It shows
•hat tl-o Camp not only engages in
social, athletic and civil affairs, but
also honors and respects the
achievements of those who have
been called by the grim 'reaper.
The plan as now adopted is that
all of the members shall gather at
the hall an Decoration Day and
proceed in a body to the cemetery
and wcrk in arranging the inter
ment grouiHls in a beautiful condi

The rejuvinatloto. of Skagway is
One of the top let tbat is being dis
cussed everywhere in Alaska, and. it
is a £lea«ant thing to talk about.
There are mauy- people throughout
Alaska whose tint Northara experi
ence- was gained in the historic city
at the head of Uynn Canal, situated
on a commodious4 amd safe harbor In
one of the most picturesque and
fertile of Alaak&n> coast valleyB.
Thousands tarried there to lire a
few weeks, months or years before
proceeding into the heart of the
great coast country, and they all
retain Interesting and most of them
Pleasant memories of their days
there. Those who remained until
the last in the city that, next
to Dawson, is most indelibly con
nected with the K land ike rush, one
of *ha greatest of all incidents of
Pacific coast settlement and devel
opment. number but few hundreds,
but those who have stayed there
and lived their lives havq never
lost faith in the strategia position
of their town, 3:id they have never
ceased to enjoy life in their beau
tiful little community with its sum
mer sunshine, flowers and gardens.
Tjie hope that the new aotivieies
at 'Otfgway might be based upon
sol'd foundation, and that the fond
est ho^>es of all those thers might M
more than rea'ized is one that esx
