and appropriating therefor the sum
* of *10,000,000, was introduced in Con
gress by Representative William P.
t Connery, jr., of Massachusetts. In the
< original bid provision was only made
for the States, the Territories being
inadvertently om.tted. However, when
i Delegate Wickersham brought the
t omission to the attention of Repre
s. aentative oCnnery. he promised to
i have the bill amended so as to have
* Alaska included as a Territory. This
v was done and .the amended bill, H. R.
. 8765, was approved by the committee
«. on .abor .Feb. 5, and favorably recom
mended for passage. It is now on
i the House calendar, and an effort is
* making. by. interested organizations
. throughout the United States—and
t Alaska should take similar action—to
, impress Congress with the necessity
i Cor this relief measure. If it passes,
the Government would provide to the
I States or Territories one-third of the
sum paid to residents 65 years old or
e aver when the payment is not in ex
» cess of $1 per day.

The other evening R. Harvey Sar
gent, topographic engineer of the
Geological Survey, and who has made

“Alaska." Among the interesting

recent aerial survey in which Mr.

The bill of Delegate Wickersham to '
<. establish a supreme court for the Ter
ritory of Alaska will likely require
. amendment before it can be passed.
The committee on judiciary referred
the bill to the Department of Justice
. for consideration. After suggesting
» a few minor amendments Attorney
General Mitchell wrote: “While it:
may appear upon further study that
this proposal is desirable and should
c eventually be enacted, it is not abso
lutely essential at this time, and in
\ view of the present financial situation'
. I recommend against its enactment.”
In other words, the Department is
cutting to the bone every possible ex
. penditure and new suggestion that
• would carry an additional sum of
. money. It is expected that the bill
would be approved if it carried no ad
i ditional expense. This could be done
i. by eliminating the appointment of an
additional judge to serve as chief jus

of San Francisco, but who was a no

rators in Alaska; A. H. Bradford,
president of the Associated Fisher

It is said that the reappointment of
Charles D. Jones as U. S. Marshal of
the Nome division is meeting with
comparatively little opposition and he
will likely soon be tonfirmed by the
Senate. The appointment of judges
for the Nome and Fairbanks divisions
are soon expected.
The next hearing on the bill to re
peal the Alaska Bone Dry Law will
be held by the committee on terri
tories on Feb. 16, with indications
that the bill in its present form will
not be favorably reported. Some of
he members of the committee are in
clined to favor amendments to the
bili, but not its repeal.

Nome is very pronounced in its pro

With a small part of the season
still remaining, the take of fox pelts
from the colony of the Pribilof
Islands, Alaska, already has been the
largest in forty years, and discloses
the success of supervisory work by
the Bureau of Fisheries, accoiding to
information made available at the
Department of Commerce. The take
so far this season has been 1,426
pelts, 511 more than the total for all
Last season. The following additional

employes so that the breeding stock
will not be dissipated.

1860, when the islands were held by
Russia, the average annual take was
1,829, which dropped to -1,240 in the:
years between 1871 and 1890. Since
1890 there have been bufe four, seasons
when the take was more, than 1,000
