It has been the purpose of the man

play may become the leading feature
of interest is distasteful to the direct
ors.

ing Bill for Fourth District.
Delegate Waskej writes to the Gate

division of the Third judicial district

end of it into a fourth district to pass
at the present session of congress. In
his letter he says:
•‘In today’s mail 1 received several
hundred copies of the resolutions
adopted by the bar association of Sew
ard and endorsed by the Seward
chamber of commerce setting forth the
judicial and administrative needs of
Southern Alaska and asking for the
creation of a Fourth judicial division
in Alaska. It is with pleasure that l
will shortly introduce a bill creating
such a division, and I have every rea
son to believe that it will pass both
houses this session.
“1 am familiar with the country of
the Kenai peninsula and the Mata
nuska valley, having prospected and
mined on many of the creeks reaching
from the head of the Kenai river to
the creeks flowing into the Turnagain
and Knik Arms, during ’98 and ’99.
Seward has my oest wishes for a pros-j
perous and successful future.
‘*1 am doing what I can to secure the i
building of a wagon road to connect I
Hope and Sunrise with the Alaska
Central. I would be pleased to re
ceive from vou any expression of the
needs of your part of Alaska and will
be glad to do what 1 can to remedy
them.”
