ALASKA LEGISLATURE AND CONGRESS
It is hoped that the work of the Alaska legislature will not be ham- j
pvred by the fact that the territory voted against the wishes of the president
and consequently, it Is to be assumed, against the party which has the maj
ority in both houses of the national legislature.
It would be really regrettable if the democratic national party took of
fense to the extent of ignoring the wishes of Alaska because Alaska did not
support it, but political parties ha\e a way if doing such things, whether it
is pleasant to contemplate such contingencies or not.
The leaders of the democratic party in Alaska have much influence with
the present administration and will continue to hold it for at least a couple
of years and on their suggestions much will depend. In the last legislature
were passed many resolutions and many memorials which undoubtedly had
an important effect on recent legislation of a beneficial kind lor this ttrri*
tory, and many such memorials will probably be forwarded by the coming
legislature. It would, indeed, be regrettable if party considerations were taken
into account in such matters. The majority of the new legislature are not
democrats. They will be laboring under the disadvantage of men who voted
against the candidate of the party in power, whether they may call them
selves democrats or not. However, let us hope for the best.
Very often people see the name ot sonu* place in Kurope apparently
spelled wrong in this paper in the war news columns and they immediatly tell
about it. Now the name which you may believe to be spelled wrong may be
spelled perfectly right. No name of auy place mentioned in the war dispatches
goes into this paper until every means has been exhausted to make sure that
it is right and spelled right. In the office right at hand are at least six dif
ferent maps of each country at war. I here are also reference books of other
kinds which are consulted when there is doubt, so that if any mistake occurs
it is only a slip that is inevitable in the greatest newspaper.
But, what people should remember is that the names of some of those
places now frequently occurring are not spelled alike in different maps or
geographical reference works. Just now, for instance, the fighting in Rus
sian Boland brings up often the name of the river Warthe. It comes usually
like that in the cablegrams but sometimes it is spelled Warta, and, strange
to say, both are right as a consultation of different maps will show. No doubt
this is due to the difference in the languages. Another example is Maubege
which is also spelled Maubeuge. Kheims is sometimes Reims. Mannheim is
Mayence. Ypres is Yperi. Dixmude is lfixmuide or Dixmuyden and various
others have similar various spellings.
These are sufficient, however, to use in suggesting that when you think
you see a mistake do not call it a mistake until you make sure. To make sure
you must see more than one map.

Parts of tbr
a Anrtlilaitii tt
The following are the opinions of J.
R. Heckman, a canneryman, who has
been elected to the legislature fi*om
the first division, as given in an in
terview;
“Another thing that I am strongly
in favor of is the division of the Ter
ritory into two separate parts, as the
interests of Southeastern Alaska are
altogether different from the interests
of the Interior or Western Alaska, and
I don’t believe in taxing our interests
for the benefit of the other sections
and we need every dollar for the im
provement of our own sections, and
the part of the country that is being
taxed.
“I am also in favor of strict reg
ulation regarding fishing traps and
other fishing gear. I realize In1 ;m
portance of protecting our greatest
industry*. The protection of the tv-hing
industry means as much to me as to
any one in the Territory, as every
thing I have in the world is in South
eastern Alaska, and my interests are
your interests and the interests of j
Southeastern Alaska.”
Chiuna.
The season is over in this district,
and about 200 out of 400 wi’* **emain
through the winter. Miners v ).*> re
cently reached Dawson from • .lib-ana
estimate the season’s output at be
tween $210,000 and $215,000. Most of
this went out through McCarthy and
Cordova. Hamshaw and associates re
covered about $130,000. He will re
main and drill ground this winter.
F. Best was the most successful indi
vidual miner, followed by C. Whitham,
Range and Stone, and A. Taylor. Mail
is occasionally sent in by way of Mc
Carthy.
A discovery of copper-gold-silver
ore has been made at the head of Snag
river by H. A. Lindsay, F. Farnham,
and J. O’Hara, according to W. Stein
berger, who recently returned to Daw
son from Chisana. The district is 25
miles northeast of the latter place,
and in the line with the Nabesna cop
per belt. Sixteen claims have been
staked, and include the best ground.
KETCHIKAN. (Special Corres
pondence.)—The effect of the Euro
pean war is being felt in this com
munity as a number of ventures be
ing financed with European capital
have been obliged to suspend opera
tions—Both the Alaska Venture Syn
dicate and the exploratory work of the
Granby Company are in this class.
The Jumbo and Sulzer are also closed
temporarily. Rush & Brown are work
ing. the Princeton M. & M. Co., is op
erating at Dolomi, and the Sea Level
Mine is being unwatered for examina
tion, but in general things are much
quieter here than earlier in the season.
VITAL STATISTICS
LAW VIOLATED
JUNEAU.—Secretary of the Terri
tory Charles E. Davidson declares that
physicians and others throughout the
Territory are evading the vital statis
tics law which provides for a system
of registering marriages, births, and
deaths that occur within the Territory,
and he is sending out circuler letters
to U. S. Commissioners, warning them
to take action that will tend toward
the enforcement of the la\v. The law
in question was passed by the Alaska
legislature and is a part of the session
laws of the Territory.
i “It worked beautifully,” said Sec
retary Davidson, “until the court de
cision shattered the revenue law pass
ed by the legislature on the ground
that under the Wickersham home rule
bill that body did not have the power,
to impose additional duties on l eder
al officials. That decision in the poll
tax case rendered useless the vital
statistics law because the point raised
in it and on which it was declared in
valid is also an influential feature of
the vital statistics law which also im
posed additional duties on h ederal of
ficials.

Now and then, we hear people say that
they can get along without a typewriter.
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So they did, a little further hack, without the steam
engine and the railroad train. They got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing
with the pen, is like the man who thinks he doesn’t
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking” today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built and —

We have built the Remington Junior on purpose
for those who have writing to do and need
a typewriter but who haven11 bought one—yet.
We have built it for
the traveler and for
the home; for the
doctor, the clergy
man, the farmer, the
retail storekeeper—,
for everyone who
needs a typewriter for
the simpler uses, like manuscript and letter writing.
The price of the Remington Junior is fifty dollars,
cash with order. It is just what its name implies,
a “boiled down” Remington; smaller, lighter,
simpler and more portable, but a true Remington
in the work it does and the way it does it, and
sold under the iron-clad Remington guarantee.
Here is your chance, absolutely your first chance, to buy
an absolutely first-grade typewriter at a medium price.
For $55.00, we will sell you a Remington Junior on terms
W 0f $5.00 down and $5.00 a month. Cut out the attached
coupon and send it to us with *>.UU in casn, cnecic
or money order, and we will send the machine.
