Jndging from press dispatches
Alaskan legislation must be side
trucked! at Washington. The only
measure passed so far has been the
coal land law.
It is alxiut time that we were
hearing from some of the score or
so of new boats that were to he put
on this run the first of the year.
The action to he taken by the
Council regarding school children
resident upon the Reservation is a j
good one, but a mistake is being]
trade in not charging tuition for
the coming term. The people of
the reservation have had to Ix-ar
none of the burdens of the town
tax and in fact the residents of the
town are now paying a two per
cent tax in order that the school
may he maintained at its present
standard and he able to accommo
date the-children from town. This
is not right nor just and when there
w such a simple remedy lor the in
justice at hand it should be adopted
and adopted at once. Charge tu
ition for the children who are not
residents of the town and even up
the burden of maintaining the
school. The reservat ionites can
get money from the government
(or school purposes if they would
snake the attempt and putting a
tuition fee on them will lie the
means of inducing them to apply
ior government assistance.
If the bill ut representative Taw
ncy passes congress, it may be the
means oi starting a new industry
along the coast of Alaska. He
claims that there is enough timlier
hereto supply the United States
with wood pulp for the manuiac-|
lure of pajter for munv years. Any
one who is familiar with the eoast
knows that this statement is no ex
agcration. The scrubby timlier
along the coast from Prince Wil
liam sound to the southern extremi
ty oi Alaska can he used for noth
ing else and the installation of ma
chinery for reducing the wood to
pulp would mean the expenditure
of considerable capital and the em
ploying of more men; the water
power is here and good harbors are
abundant. It is to he hoped the
bill passes, for any measure that
tends to encourage new industries
in this section will hasten the ad
vancement oi the country.
Thu trail is now in line shup
lor travel U» the interior anil many
outfits, iu addition to the large one
of the V. T. Co., are enroute lo
various camp* and roadhouses.
From all appearance* the road
houses will be able to handle a
large erowd this spring and there
is little doubt hut that the erowd
will be here, provided of course
that the steamer* can keep away
Jrom rinks and fishing stations
long enough to get them to Valdez.
Dawson’s gold output averages
about a million dollars a month.
Tire exi*»rt tax of 21 per cent, on
the output would therefore amount
»*> about $500,000 * year. The free
miners* license tax might oe rough
ly estimated at $75,000. The
special import duty levied on li
quors, the stumpage on timber and
the tonnage on native hay, the long
list oi recorder’s and other official
Jees and license taxes can not lx
computed with any degree of accu
racy in the altsence of authcni c
Statistics, hut may lx> relied on to
bring the grand total up to a figure
which will easily place Yukon ter
ritory among the most liberal tax
payers, according to wealth and
population, in the "world..•.^Resi
dents on the American side, when
they point to what the Canadian
government has done for Yukon
miners, are requested to consider
what the miners have done for the
government.—Yukon Valley News.
The continual delay on the
steamship lines between here and
Seattle, caused hy accidents ami
bad weather along the inside pas
sage, brings forcibly to mind the
necessity for a dirett service to
Valdez by the outside route. We
are able to get mails through from
the Yukon and Tanana points in
record lime and then the ls>at that
takes it from here pots in anywhere
from 10 to 20 days getting it to
Scuttle. \\ hv in the nameof com
nion sense don’t the postoffice of
ficials, who know very well that
the trip from hereto Seattle can lie
made in four da vs, iusisTon a di~
reel service, instead of letting con
tracts to fish boats that run on any
old schedule and take in every can
nery and l.ulihut fishery along tin*
line? 1 lie Burnside took tire inside
passage and Valdez has hud to
pay exorbitant telegraph rates for
two mouths *:• a consequence. The*
Santa Ana comes inside and we
have to go without mail for a few
weeks and people who made record
time from Fairbanks to this place
have to lay here for a couple of
weeks before they ear. get out.
\\ iiat is the use of advertising a
quick route from Fairbanks when
it takes twice as fong to go from
here to Seattle as it does from
Fairbanks Fnrc? What is the use
a >ciiii-mtvKly tiiu.il service ti>
tin- interior when we have only a
semi-oeeastonal steamship service
to connect with it ?
