Ip. the closing hours of the last
session of Congress the salaries of
the Governor of Alaska and Secre
| tary of the Territory were increased
I from $7,000 and $3,800 to $10,000 and
$5,600 respectively. The bill for the
! increase of the governor’s salary
was first passed in the senate but
when it reached the floor of the
house it failed of passage because
1 of Delegate Sutherland. He did not
! object to the increase but objected
j to the present incumbent receiving
the higher emolument. The salary
of the secretary was increased in
the house, without objection, to
$4,400. When the bill reached the
senate an amendment was offered
and passed to make the salary $5,
600. It was then that a further
amendment was offered increasing
the salary of the governor to $10,
000, which passed. When the bill
was returned to the house Delegate
Sutherland was interviewed and
agreed not to offer any objections
to its passage. The increases were
urged on the ground that the gov
ernor of Hawaii received $10,000
and the secretary $5,800, and that
Alaska should have equal consider
ation. In addition to the salary,
the governor has the use of a “Man
sion” and receives several thousand j
dollars annually to maintain it.

! For the winter months the gov
j eminent made a contract with the
Northland Transportation Company
to carry first-class mail between
Seattle and towns north of Juneau.
1 This was particularly pleasing to j
j Petersburg, which does not have i
j satisfactory mail service during six 1
1 months of the year. The contract i
{expired March 15 and several'
' Chambers of Commerce have sent j
i wires urging a continuance of the
! contract. The' postoffice depart- ;
| merit, however, has not given much
; encouragement that the service will
be rendered during the summer
months, when there is an enlarged
j steamer service.

The judiciary committee of the
senate failed to report on the nom- i
inations of Judge G. J. Lomen and t
Marshal Charles D. Jones, both of
1 Nome. As a result no action was
: taken on their appointments and |
! they will continue to serve in their 1
! respective capacities. Although the '
terms of Judge Cecil H. Clegg of
j the Fourth division, and Marshal
. Harvey Sullivan of the Third divi
Ision expired a year ago, they have
i not yet been reappointed and nei
ther have their successors been j
! named. As a consequence they will;
! continue to serve until either they:
I or their successors have been named
| and confirmed. Marshal Albert
While, of the First division, and
:
Marshal Lynn Smith, of the Fourth,
were reappointed some weeks ago
and confirmed by the senate.
