Cutting Up the Territory.
Valdez Miner: The agitation to re*
move the capital of the Territory from
Juneau has again brought forth a re
newed cry from the First division for a
division of the Territory, catting ofF
that division as a separate territory.
The plea is backed by the argument
that the First division pays all the
bills. This is not true, of course, as
has been shown many times. But if
this is good argument for a division,
why not make the affair a thorough
one and divide the Territory into three
separate territories? We believe the
Third division could get along very
well as a separate territory, and, on
the argument put forth by the First
division, is far more entitled to a sep
arate entity than is the First division.
