atul we are in receipt of a copy of
the same throtlvih the eolirtesv of
the < tavern-ir. This rcjN.ri. as the
former re|N.rts of Oovcrnor Bradv.
is very voni|ireliciisiveand ex. nu«t
itc. Pol lowing is a short hviiojis s
of some of the most interesting js.r
tions of the same.:
The report ojn-iis with a gentle
reminder to congressmen and sen-'
atois that they have Ins-i. neglect
fnl of Alaska since its purchase.;
3A vcar* ago.
I.AXU LAW*.
Every year since he lias held the
executive nllice. t ht■ Governor has
urged congress to extend, the land
laws to Alaska, as did also his pre
decessors. The ap|km 1 this year is
ngain earnest and urgent and since
the rejsirt was published, these laws
have been extended to the Dislriet.
a Iiklkhatk.
The Governor says it waseonti
•dcntly ex|H'eted that congress at its
last session would pa«sa law allow
ing Alaska a delegate. The hill
in the House failed to get a hear
ing and in the Senate was reai,
twice and referred back, where it
'vas kept. No one nin fell wliv.
The majority of the jH-ople want' a \
delegate, lie will have no vote,
hut can look after the interests of!
otir citizens. Surely there is no'
valid reason why action on this
matter should l>e ret used or o« -
laved.

As to |*r.| illation, i|„. (Jovirnnr|
believes it to be alsiut the same «s '
given by tbe eensus bureau two
years ago, viz. («..>)«, of which
<*»07 were wliite. 2tt..V,ii Indians an. ’
remainder mixed. Kctclnkui.i
(touglas and \ aide/ have gaitiee 1
and Sitka. Juneau and Kodiak
are about the same, while Skngvv. v
has great!v decreased.
i
Territorial oovr hxm>.xt.
The (iovemor is notin favor of
territorial government. A few, lie
says, have become irritated l»v the
delay in extending the land laws
and would iwkle>«lv support anv
thingfora change. Hm let any
sober minded lawmaker lake the
census hn I let in on the snhjeet, and,
with a map of Mocks spfcad out

and their distances, and then a»k

I he majority of |ici>plc here under-'
stand this quite well, and are not !
merely clamouring for a change tit '
Nihv the n-cent in*uljii
decisions, many of tis are not in
ove with a territorial form of gov

nave done, to spend forty and fifty

Next to the exiensioii of the land
laws and the surveys, the matter of
.runs),or>a.ion is )ierua|is of mos

The (inventor's confidence in the

abated. Hi thinks stock-raising
