DECISION SAYS TH VT
ALASKA IS IN l. S.
WASHINGTON, Oct 16.—The
comptroller of the Treasury has ruled
that travel from Alaska to the United
States is travel within the United
States, anil should be allowed as such
on the expense items of government
officials. The ruling of the Comp
troller overrides* a decision of the Au
ditor of the Navy. The case arose in
regard to the item of travel on an ex
pense account irom Alaska to the x it \
of Washington, and the ruling holds
that the entire journey is travel with
in the United States.

“NIGGKK JIM**
From Birmingham, Ala., Chief oi
Police Wiseman has received a letter
of inquiry for J. M. Daughtry, who
is thought to be somewhere in Inter
ior Alaska. Any one having any in
formation as to the whereabout*} of
the missing man is requested to com
municate with Mr. Wiseman.—lair
hanks Times. September 13.
The above probably has reference
to “Nigger Jim” Daughtry, or Daugh
erty, of early Klondike fame. He
has lived in Seattle for several years
past, but i.> reported to have moved
to Anchorage this summer.
James Marshal, one of the first
miners to go into the Atlin country,
is reported to have struck it rich and
is now on easy street. Two weeks
ago while prospecting on his frac
tional claim below No. ■” Spruce
creek, he uncovered some of the rich
est pay ever found in that district.
He was offered $10,000 for his claim
but has refused, as he has confidence
that he will be able to take out $50.*
000 from the ground.

greatest established daily and weekly.
I FREE BOOK SYSTEM
ADOPTED IN SEWARD
At a meeting of the Seward school j
hoard, hold last night at the residence
of Mrs. Frank L. Ballaine, they
adopted the "tree book system for
the Seward public schools to take ef- |
feet immediately. The plan provides
for the school board purchasing all
now books ordered for the scholars j
thi;> year, and loan them out to the
scholars for their study free of
charge, making the teacher respons
ible for their safe return. In cases
of needless damage done to a book
the student will be fined according to
the damage done. Hereafter all books
will be furnished free to scholars and
in case a pupil desires to own his own !
text book he can do so by paying the
; cost price to the teacher. This sys
tem has been successfully tried out
I in many other cities, and is hoped to j
improve the school system in this
city.
