WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. — Com

•.mended section 6, page 17, ol the
Alaska townsite regulations, circulai
| 191, approved July 19, 1916 (45 L. 1).
>27), so as to read in full as follows:
“Indian or native Alaskan occu
pants who have secured certificates
•»f citizenship under the territorial
laws of Alaska shall be treated in all
respects like white citizen occupants;
but all land occupied by other In
dians or Alaskan natives shall not be

i In making the subdivisional survey
1 herein required, the surveyor will set
apart the' possessions occupied by the
i Indians who are not citizens and ap
propriately designate them as such
upon the triplicate plats ol his sur
veys, but he will not extend any street

sions.”
In connection, herewith, attention is

COUNCIL HOLDS
BRIEF SESSION
THEN ADJOURNS
Electric lights and Councilman
Lechner’s new unifoim were Ibc chief
topics discussed at the council meet
ing last night. All members were
present and took part in the delibera
tions especially those concerning the
uniform of Seward’s exclusive plumb
er man.
Hills for Januaiy wore x read, ap
proved and ordered paid. These bills
were the payrolls and incidentals.
When the light bill was presented.
Chief of Police Guest stated that cer
0
tain street lights had not been lim n
ing for some time, the globes having
gone in the nonglimmer. Also there
! weie several repair jobs that no one
| seemed to know anything about and
finally a resolution was passed mak
ing the Mayor responsible for the O
lv’ing of all bdls as he was general1;.
I around the city and knowing the light
men by sight, was therefore a splen
did Hawkshaw.
Then it seems that when the dus
ter lights were put in several private
citizens installed their own after no
curing worct that the city would pur
chase them later on. The private
citizens now want to he reimbursed
i but the matter was laid over until
next meeting to piobe through the
minutes of council sessions of several
i vears ago when lights were the is
; sues.
Aside from the light matters, Coun
I ciiman Lechner’s uniform was the
other dazzling illumination.
Lechner was late as usual. When
he went bounding up the stairs and
hove in sight, the councilmon gave
one gasp—then saluted. Lechner had
on one of the newfangled belted thing
i a bobs with new putters, with a shine
! on them which would easily serve as
I a mirror. Lechner saluted all pres
‘ ent, then carefully seated himself, ta
' king care not to make too many wrin
I kies in his uniform. The uniform, by
the way, is a cross between a Hun
garian bandmaster's parade uniform,
ja quartermaster's uniform and an of
1 ncial dog catchers. Lechner claims
he paid real money for the duds.
Following tho discussion of lights
i and tho uniform, tho gang waited
j around ' expecting Lechnor to say
I something—but ho didn’t. George
Sefton thought it would bo a shame
| not to wet the now uniform and ho
1 invited tho hunch across tho street to
j Sexton & Thwaitos and “sot ’em up.”
j Following the liquid refreshments
