That the said Gladhaugh during
his lifetime had bonded said claim
to various parties receiving on said
lmnd #3,500 one-lmlf of which sum
the court finds belongs to said Run
and that no part of said #3,500 has
been paid except the sum of $100,
and that there was due the said

| duly appointed administrator of
the estate, has received on account
of said bond the sum of $o,(XX),
which is now in the hands of said
administrator, one half of which
the court finds belongs to the claim
ant, Chas. T. Rua.
The court further finds that un
der the terms and conditions of said

administrator on the 21st day of
Novemln-r, 1902 the further sum of

Alaska Licenses Unjust.
So Says the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce.
“SO SAY WE AM, OF US.”
It was stated at the regular meet
ing of the chandler of commerce
this morning that the United States
govercnicnt collected fully f (100,01)0
more in licenses in Alaska last
year than it had upprnpariated for
the improvements and needs of
that valuable territory. Further,
that the system of taxation by li
cense in that country was a great
hardship on the people. One speak
er asserted that everything from a
doughnut stand tip was compelled
to pay heavy license. Especially,
lie said, was this so in cases of
Ix'arding houses, restaurants, etc.
lie said he knew of an instance
where some stranded people taken
care of by private parties, and that
he latter were compelled to pay a
line liecause they harbored tran
sients without a license, when, as a
matter of fact, they were caring for
the unfortunate gold seekers with
out charge because they could find
no other place to go.
me cnamncr passed a resolution
to the effect that if such licenses were
imposed by the government, it was
the sense of the chamber that they
should lie no longer enforced. A
resolution was also adopted memo
rializing congress to speedily enact
liberal laws which shall open to
the industry of the country the
vast wealthof the Alaskan district;
that a system of land laws attach;
that such aid Ik* extended as is
necessary to the construction of
wagon roads and telegraph lines;
that its numerous, hardy, industri
tous and intelligent population he
represented in the halls of con
gress. The resolution passed with
out opposition.—Seattle Times.
GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOEEOW.
The following letter, although a j
private one, we appreciate so j
much that we cannot refrain from ;
publishing it, as it may influence
some other son or husband to send
the Pkospkctoh back to the loved
ones in the old home. It is a kind-1
ness that does not cost much, and
would l>e appreciated by many
others as it is by the mother of our
friend Robeson. The letter alone
is worth to us more than ten times
the subscription price.
Alaska Prospector:
“Our son, \\. N. Row
son, who went to Valdez in the
spring of ’98, has subscribed ior
your enterprising paper and order
ed it sent to us, and I can assure
you it is a most welcome visitor.
Valdez and our loved one seem
nearer than Indore. I wish many
others might follow his example in
this, and while they sent a con
stant reminder to the loved ones at ;
home, they would give the daunt
less little Phospkctok ti e circula
tion it deserves.
Cordially yours,
Mrs. J. F. Robeson.
