ISLATIVE STUPIDITY
The new law enacted by the ter
r'iorial legislature last spring in re
gard to the number ot placer claims
that may be located by power of at
torney is well criticised in the Daw
son News, which reads:
"The new Alaskan laws limit the
number of powers of attorney for
the purpose of staking placer pro
perty to two claims to each man In
the district where the staking is
done; and each individual in the
district therefore can represent him
self and two others, or have the
power of three persons for acquir
ing ground. He may stake two
claims for each of the three every
"calendar month", in other words
a total of six claims. Webster's
gives two definitions for a "calen
dar month". One Is, "Any of the
months now adjusted in the Greg
oriau calendar." The second def
inition is, "The time from any day
of such a month to the corres
ponding day of the next month."
if the first definition is accepted un
der the law, one might stake for
one-self and with two powers of at
torney the last day of a month,
and again the next day, which
would be the next succeeding mouth
I'nder the second definition, practi
cally thirty days would have to e
lapse. If the frequency of staking
is to be made uniform in Alaska, It
would be much simpler if a defini
tion be inserted of what constitutes
a "calendar mouth". Some would
prefer an interval of thirty days be
tween staking in the name of each
individual, *iut it is to be remember
ed the two claims staked under each
power of attorney at present may
not happen to be staked on the
same day. which would complicate
the calculations. Here, again, it
mignt be arranged that an individ
ual be allowed to stake one claim
only every fifteen days, either for
himself or for those for whom he
holds power of attorney. This
would be a generous allowance. The
Alaskan law also should say definite
ly on how many creeks or in how
many districts the staker, for him
self and others, may stake within
the specified number of days."
The Skagway Alaskan announced
in bold type that 33S miles of travel
may be saved by taking the Skag
way route to Chisana. This will be
a surprise to many people who
thought the distance was not more
than 33S miles altogether.—Douglas
Island ews..
It is evident that Bro. Hopp is
growing purblind in his declining
years, or what is more probable was
looking through the bottom of a
glass when he read the article in
the Daily Alaskan to which he re
fers, and was in consequence unable
to comprehend the full significance
and truth of a story of which the
headline was only a part.
BREAD, CAKES AND PIES
SENT BY PARCEL POST
The New Idea Bakery, Skagway,
believing that a great many people
living outside of the city, but in
frequent touch by train or boat,
would oftentimes order bread, cake,
pies or other bakery goods if they
knew that their wants would be at
tended to with dispatch, Mr. Moore
manager of the New Idea Bakery,
announces that all orders comlnh
froni outside points will receive
his personal and careful attention
and that same will be shipped via
parcel post at the very first oppor
tunity. 12-17-6.

There is only one way to cure deaf- j

remedies. Deatneee is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the Eustachla
Tube. When this tube is Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound of imper
f'-ct hearing, and when it is entirely I
closed, deafness is the result, and u ]
less the inflamtion can b o taken j
out and this tube restored to its nor
