SEWAIvl), ALASKA, MONDAY. AUGUST 9, 1915.
In the June number of the North American Review Secretary of the
Interior Lane has an article showing his reasons for proposing the estab
lishment of a Development board for Alaska. He describes the ridiculous de
lays caused in the granting of homestead ami other patents and he shows
the extraordinary muddles which are created by the fact that the conduct of ^
matters connected with lands, mining, fisheries, game, forests, etc. in the ter
ritory are placed in the hands of so many varieties of bureaus.
The Development board which would have control over all those matters,
according to the proposal of Mr. Lane, would have its headquarters in Alaska
and would have power to deal with them directly and so eliminate the neces
sity of doing business with people at so great a distance as that of Wash
ington.
There have been several objections expressed to this scheme but, after
all, it may have many virtues. One is naturally inclined to be jealous of any
body which receives too many powers, and particularly if such a body is an ,
appointive one. but the article in the North American Review may tend to
remove some of the objections. At least all of us must give Secretary Lane j
the credit of knowing more about the subject than the great majority of
people, maybe more than any other individual. If the Development Board
would have no other power than the adjustment of what might be tailed
routine ^matters there could hardly be any objection to its establishment, but J
what Alaskans fear is that such a board might usurp the authority of either
the federal government or of the territorial legislature.
Anything in the shape of a Bureau looks bad and, perhaps, under the
name of a Development Board the thing might smell more sweetly.

The day on which a ship arrives in Alaska from Panama carrying sup
Dlies for the United States government that were used in constructing the
Panama canal and will be used in constructing the Alaska railroad that
day deserves to be noticed. In the first place the coming of the ship is a sort
of linking of the extreme ends of Uncle Sam’s empire. It is the finishing
touches to the vast domain—the securing of the hall door and then the going
back to secure the back door. The coming of the ship also ought to remind
us of the fact that the United States has now* entered, north and south, into
the business of conducting public utilities. But. somehow, it is not the practi
cal signifiance of the fact that appeals to us. It is rather the idea of the
government finishing the work of opening oceans and then shipping its tools
straight across to open our own Alaska, a place whose position on the map
was something of a my stery’ to most of the world a few years ago.
JUNEAU VOTES MONEY
FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD.
JUNEAU. July 24.—The Juneau
city council met yesterday afternoon
and fixed the tax levy for the year
1915 at 2 per cent of the assessed val
uation. which is three-quarters of the
estimated value of the real and per
sonal property in Juneau.
The figures are not complete as to
the amount of the assessment or the
amount to be raised but City Clerk
Pettit assured the council that about
$65,000 would be raised with a 2 per
cent levy.
The council also voted to allow the
school board $20,000 on which to run
the school druing the coming school
■ year.
Mayor Reck stated yesterday after
the meeting that the sum voted was
all that would be allowed as the city
council made all estimates and, tak
ing everything into consideration,
that sum was all that could be spar
ed. and still pay the indebtedness of
the city.
“We are trying to economise in
BVery way and get the city free from
iebt before we go out of office/' he

CONTRACT GIVEN FOR
CLEARING TERMINAL TRACT.
J. Hellenius is Lucky Bidder and
Work Must Begin in
Two Days.
J. Hellenius and his associates have
received the contract for clearing the
streets in the Terminal tract. The
contract was received on August 7
and work must begin not later than
Wednesday, the 11th. The fact that
the contract was let indicates, of
course, tjiat the government is going
through with the railroad but the of
ficials say that nothing positively new
has been received from Washington.
Mr. Hellenius has recently arrived in
Seward from Seattle where he con
ducted a Swedish newspaper.

Diego, in which to continue the invit
ing journey.
