ANCHORAGE TO TALK ABOl’T
AGITATION TO DELEGATE
It is reported today on the streets
that the Anchorage Commercial Club
has a particular reason for wishing
a visit from Delegate Wickersham to
that town this time. In speaking
about the matter it is said that the
question of certain alleged affidavits
is to do discussed. This much is said
merely to “cover” the subject from
the newspaper point of view. Any
further notice of it would be ridicu
lous. We may expect some agitation
in Washington, however, this winter
and we shall be lucky if the agitators, |
including one from Seward, don’t
queer the whole thing.

GREGORY DECIDES HOOTCH
PEDDLING LAW WORTHLESS
FAIRBANKS—In a letter received
yesterday by United States Attorney
R. F. Roth from the attorney general,
he is informed that the department
concurs in his opinion that the legis
lature of Alaska Jiad no authority to
pass a law regulating the sale of
liquor in the territory. The act re
ferred to is more familiarly called
the “hootch peddling law," in which
the legislature attempted to reduce
the crime of selling liquor to natives
from a felony to a misdemeanor, and
making it a misdemeanor for natives
to receive or purchase intoxicants.
NATIVES ARE STAKING
LAND ALONG YUKON
FAIRBANKS — That the natives
along the Yukon river art* interested j
in agriculture and anxious to take up
land is evident from the fact that
many of them, from Eagle to Melozi,
and along the Tanana river, from
Chena to Fort Gibbon, have asked the
government for patent on pieces of,
ground. H. J. Atwell, special agent j
of the general land office, who re
turned to Fairbanks some days ago,
reports that he found many natives
along the Yukon river who had taken
up 160 acres of land.—Times.
