The town of Vdlilet is vapidly
assuming large proportions and
bex-oming a place id importance,
and if is high time that the neces
sary steps were taken to give the
inhabitants a title tothoir property
In the spring of IStW an outline
survey was made hy A. M Powell,
embracing a quarter mile square,
and in lPtlO a sufficient fund ha\
ing la-en raised, Powell was sent to
Sitka to file the survey and make
application for a townsite. l.ater.
it was judged that the ground
entrci off was not sufficient, so in
tOiM the same survi yor made a
new survey , embracing tifO acres,
and for this all the ncivssary
papers have Iveen filol with the
Vawd offiiv. and a letter of instruc
tions ha* Ivecn received fnrm thetv
»lat ng xxhat further action slmuhl
hi- taken: it called for a sufficient
sum to ooxer the mvessary expense
and this has never been raised
This year, hy a vole of nil eon
eenn-d.il Was divided to aller tht
town hy laking in «nme of the land
formerly known as the reservation,
and in order to do so, a corres
ponding amount of the old site
wdl have to he throw n oft, as the
taw allows Imt Ii4(l urn's in an ap
plication for a tow nsite, this will
neeesaitale a new survey , and all
the preliminarv work must again
ha gw-ie ovec. and the "oxvnev it is
done the laftten it. will las
In order to get a proper nndev
Manding as t» the fnll and eom
plete mode of procedure in the
matter, we consulted a «-om|>et*wt
authivrity. from whoni are ree*iv«sl
the following opinion:
When tW occupants of the land
which it is desired to embrace in a
tow nsite entry shall have reaolvtal
♦o make application for entry of
the land under the townsite laws,
they should, hy petition or public
meeting, appoint an agent or
agents to take the matter in
hand and attend to the prelimi
naries, file a proper application
and generally to have charge of the
matter until such a time as the
secretary of the interior shall ap
point a trustee for the townsite, as
hereinafter stall'd.
After his appointment such agent
should firsl have made a private
survey of the exterior houudarv
lines of thi townsite He will then
make application to the V. S
surveyor-general for an official su*
vey of such exterior lines, tiling
therewith tin held notes and a plat
ni said private survey. The said
application shall conform to tin
instructions of the interior depart
ment relating to the entry of non
mineral lands in Alaska, approved
June Hi, ISttl, as amended by in
structions approved <Vt 27, 1 Sits.
If the surveyor-general approves
such application, Ih- will furnish
the applicant with an estimate of
ifce e«wt of survey. The applicant
will then deposit the sum required
and will nxx'ivt a receipt therefor,
and said receipt will be received, to
the extent of the amount thereof,
in payment of t 1m- government
price of the land enthrall'd in the
townsite at *1 2.S pgr acre.
Tfieiie being over two hundred
residents in the town of Valdez,
*4tl acres may be embraced in the
townsite entry.
i pon sanl de|x>sit Ix-ing made
the miivhyor-general will dewigiiatc
. i
some depot\ surveyor to make an
official survey of the exterior lines
of the town site.
All moneys nspiirtsl in the mat '
ter of making said application and |
soivcv must Is- advauevsl hv the
eitim ns and will Is- returmsl to
them when the prois-r steps for
providing tin* msx-ssary funds have
lss-n taken, as hereinafter stated.
When a tract to Is- surveyed

meander line <*f the tract will Is-!
run at ordinary high water mark ;
thus excluding from survey and
enlrv all lands situnlisl Is'tw-een

of the out-lsiundaries of townsite,
the secretary of tin- interior will
ap|svint a truslee to make final
enlrv of the tract, intrust for the
