The present method of marketing.
[by the Federal Government of the!*
ifur seal catch of Pribilof Islands is ]1
, attacked in Senate Memorial No.'
8, introduced yesterday afternoon
by Senator Brown, of Nome. It is i
'asked that a new system be in

I highest bidder." j’
I The memorial follows:
Your memorialists, the Senate and I
; House cf Representatives of the
Legislature of Alaska, respectfully
lpresent:
j That the fur seal of Pribilof
t Islands is one of the natural re
scurcen of the Territory of Alaska,
land we believe that the profit from
that Industry should be covered Into
: the treasury of the Territory or be
otherwise devoted to developing the
i resources of Alaska.
Your memorialists believe that
| the present methods of marketing
I the fur seal skins from Pribilof
i Islands is such that the financial
| returns from the industry Is much
j below what the industry, more care
fully managed, would yield.
I Your memorialists believe that j.
. i ho cultivation, establishment antl|v
[maintenance of the present system] g
for tanning, dyeing and marketing
the seal skins in question is mono
polistic in character and therefore
in cantroventlon of sound govern
mental anti economic principles, and
is causing considerable loss of reve-1 ‘
nuc to the Government, and to tliei
other nations which share in the
proceeds derived from the sale of L
such skins.
Wherefore,
your memorialists
most respectfully urge that the con
tract between the Government and
the Foulke Fur Company of St.
ijonis he abrogated at the earliest
possible date, and that in the fu
ture the seal skins of Pribilof
Islands be sold while in a salt state
in open market to the highest bid
der. and that any profits of the Gov
ernment from the industry be cov
ered into the treasury of the Terri
tory of Alaska.

SUBSTITUTE FUR
ALDRICH CDNTRUL
BILL SUGGESTED
Puts Governor on Board of
Control—House Takes
Up Pension Measure.
Senate Bill No. ti4. the Aldrich
measure providing for reorganiza
tion of the Territorial Executive
Department, was reported out of
Committee in the Seiate today with
a substitute bill which the Com
mittee on Elections and Election
Laws recommended for passage. No j
dti'ailed list of the alterations con-1
tained in the proposed substitute
from the provisions of the original i
measure was available today and
copii s of the substitute were un
obtainable.
Apparently the principal change
made la on the personnel of the
Hoard of Control, which under the
terms of the Aldrich bill was com
posed of the Controller, Treasurer
and Attorney General. In the Com
mittee substitute it is provided for
dropping the Attorney General from
membership on the Board, and mak
ing the Governor a member and
Chairman.
Other Changes Minor.
A few other changes were made,;
apparently all minor in nature. The;
duties of the various offices are not i
affected from those prescribed in;
the original bill. •1'rovlsions for el- ]
ection of the Controller and Treas-i
urer are retained with the salary of;
Controller euit from $6,000 to j
$5,000 and a five-year residence in
stead of two made a necessary
qualification. The salary of Attor-i
ney General, whAch was set at'
$6,000 in the Aldrich hi 1 ’, is cut to
$5,000 in the substitute. The or-j
igittal bill also provided that the
Controller should act as agent for(
the Territory on whom service of
summons, notice of proceedings,!
otc., should he served, while the!
substitute provides that the Cover- j
nor shall act as such agent. The;
bill will cotne nip in second reading j
Monday, unless continued on ac-'
rount of pending business.
Take Up Municipal Code.
The Senate’s business today was;
largely confined to comparative1
’tudy of the municipal code, Sen-|
r.te Bill No. 3. and a similar meas-j
tiro prepared for introduction in
the House. S. Hellenthal went over
