Juneau is n.uvh worked up over
the attempt that is being made by
certain legislators from the North to
move the capital from Juneau to
yorne other point to the Westward
or Far North. The introduction of
a memorial to congress for that pur
pose. although without reason, is
ut surprising. It is uuite in keep
^ with the combination of North
• :i I gisiators who would have the
h'ir-■ divisi : pay all t!:e bills of the
Territorial government for the bene
fit of the divisions to the North.
If the legislature is desirous of
. iv. ■ g :!.e . . >t ward a capital city it
would appear that they should all
work along different lines. They
should throw their energies in sup
port of a measure to divide the Ter
ritory. to make the panhandle one
territory and the great empire to
the north another. They could then
place their capital wherever they
saw tit.
In fact, the present legislature
leads to the conviction or rather
strengthens the conviction held here
tofore. that Alaska shoulld be de
vided into two territories. The coun
try is too large, t^e iuterests too
widely separated fur complete har
mony. The legislature is desirous
of putting some matters up to a
referer.d t;:i so why should they not
now put t'ae matter of dividing the
Territory tip to a vote of the people.
The people of the westward can
- ippp.Tt the measure and get a cap
ital of their own. while those of the
First division may gratify their am
bition for separation. It would also
be the most impressive manner of
presenting the matter to congress.—
Ketchikan Chronicle.
.- igwa; * can scarcely commend
the new type of advertising which is
appearing on our streets. Strangers
coming to our town are not favor
ably impressed with either the form
or the wording of such posters, ut.d
concern for the impression, to say
nothing more, would seem to call a
halt in this particular.
The town council at its last meet
ing failed to appoint a day for ctean
tip day. Many of our townspeople
did not wait for the word from the
council, but have begun on their
own account. If e;rch would add to
that of his own yard, one or two of
those utioci 'ipied near him the ag
gregate of i lean up would b« great
ly increased. It would also be com
mendable when cans and rubbish
are carted to the river if they were
taken farther out so as to be carried
out into the bay by the river.

IJishop Peter Trimble Rowe. head
| of the Episcopal Church of Alaska,
was In Juneau for a few hours to
day. arriving on the Northwestern
from Ketchikan this morning and
leaving on the gasboa' E. D. M. al
2 o'clock this afternoon for Sitka.
Bishop Rowe is on his annual trip
of inspection of the Episcopal
churches and missions of tiie Ter
ritory. After visiting at Silka for
a short time liishop Rowe will re
turn to Juneau to spend some time
here before going 10 Western Alaska
and later to the interior.
Speaking of his work since com
ing north on this trip which he
started when he left Seattle April
to. the Bishop was quite pleased
with the situation at Metlakatla
where he stayed several days. It
is his intention as soon as he can
secure a suitable man 10 place him
in charge of the work of the church
there. He contends that there is
very little division of sentiment
among the people of that city, many
of whom wish to continue to wor
ship in an Episcopal Church, of
which faith the founder of the place,
Eather Duncan, was. At his servi
ces there the IJishop said he had
large congregations. bupsised many

Archdeacon Appointed.
He has appointed Kev. Thomas
.'enkins. formerly pastor of various
churches in the north, us Archdea
con for Alaska. Ilij'top Ilowe said
that Kev. Jenkins would make his
headquarters in Southeastern Al
aska. He said the new archdeacon
would soon come north for a visit
and would while in the Territory
pick out the place where he wish
ed to make his headquarters. He
will devote most of his time this
summer holding services where there
are no regular clergymen, but wjll
live this winter at Seattle so his
children may attend the University
of Washington. He will move north
to stay in the spring.
I 'lergy men Scarce.
Cishop Howe said there is a scar
city of clergymen to till the var
ious mission stations in the north
at the present but that ii was hoped 1
that this situtiou would be reliev-1
ed soon.
After returning from Sitka, visit--;
ing at Juneau for s time and then j
at the cities in Western Alaska, it j
is Bishop Howe's hope to return i
through Juneau to Seattle to spend ■
a week at his home there before i
starting on his arduous trip of!
many thousand miles through the 1
Interior of Alaska visiting all the i
outlying missions of the church.

Bill Proposed
Territorial Legislature ..is Ask
ed to (iive Measure
Ollieial Support
Delegate to Congress Dan Suther
land has introduced a Ijill in Con
gress changing the mine assessment
laws of the Territory, according to
information received by the Terri
torial Senate this morning from the
Delegate.
Delegate Sutherland asked that the
Senate give it consideration and for
ward instructions to him.
The bill provides that in lieu of
assessment work, $100 can be paid
into the Territorial treasury for road
work.
Another section provides that in
lieu of mining assessment work or
the paying of $100 in cash the equiv
alent in work on roads leading to
the mining property can be done.
Another section provides that as
sessment work for two but not more
than three years cau he done in any
one year, the same as is now law
ful in British Columbia.
The communication was referred
to the committee on mines with in
structions endorsing "any part of
the proposed bill or the whole bill"
;is the measure was an excellent one.
Back From East;
Says Alaska Best
Conditions in Alaska Better Than
in West—Much Interest
in Terri'ory
Returning on the Princess Mary
Saturday night from a business trip
to the Kast, Charles Goldstein, pro
prietor of Goldstein's Kmporiura,
stated this morning that Alaska
looked better to hint than anything
he had seen in the states. Condi
lions here, he said, while not as
good as in former years, are mate
r.ally better than those in the States
especially in the .Middle West and
West.
In tin- Kast. according to Mr. Gold
stein. tin' business barometer is be
ginning to climb and some improve
ment is noticeable. Markets are
more nearly stable, people are be
ginning to get back to normal, and
financial conditions are easier than
for some time past, lie said, in
iiie Middle West and West, he s<jid
the tide seems to be at a low ebb
and practically every business and
industry is feeling the effects of de
pression.
"In Alaska we are also bound to
lie affected to a certain extent by
this state of affairs and in *.i*t it
is being felt, but to nothing like the I
degree found in Middle Western and
Western States." declared Mr. Gold
stein. There is no reason to be
lieve nor is it expected, he said,
that conditions in the Territory will
reach the low level found in those
sections. |
There is much unemployment in
every section of the country, he said,
and, wanes are aouarently dropping |
to lower levels io correspond with
settling commodity prices. The
period of re-adjustment is not over,
he said, and it will take some time
for it to end and the country as a
while became stabilized on a normal
basis. •>< J
lie found considerable interest be
ing manifested in every s»<-tion re
garding Alaska and the opportunities
in ilie Territory for investment of
capital in its resource?. Th'S fact.
In1 stated would undoubted'.)' be pro

In a statement to the press. Pres
