. IF TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE PASSES
ALL APPROPRIATION BILLS PRESENTED
ALASKA WILL BE IN A BANKRUPT STATE
JUNEAIJ, April 23.—The total appropriation bills before
the legislature at the present time aggregate $875,000, not in
cluding any school or general territorial appropriations. It
is expected that the school and general running expenses for
the coining two-year period will make $000,000 more. It the
special appropriations carry, the territory will be bankrupt.
The legislators appear to be going crazy over the matter of
•appropriations, and unless most of the appropriation bills be
fore the legislature are defeated, the situation will not be en
couraging for the future. The senate has passed a $60,000 ap
propriation bill for the establishment of an agricultural col
lege at Fairbanks. Sutherland and Gaustad are backing the
bill. Honan made a bitter tight on it, but was outvoted. He
declared that the same amount of money expended on roads
and trails in the Matanuska valley and other agricultural dis
tricts would do more for the aid of agricultural development in
Alaska than a college, which he declared to be premature. !h*
said the location should be chosen by the people; that Suther
land and Gaustad had taken snap judgment in seeking to In
Tate it at any particular place, without consulting the people.
TEN CHILDREN SUFFICIENT TO FORM
DISTRICT, ACCORDING TO NEW BILL
.HTNKAr. April 2d.—Tin* house Saturday afternoon pass
ed a bill providing for the formation of schools, outside of
towns, where, there are ten children in the district. The same
bill passed the last session of the legislature, but at that time
there was no authority for such legislation. The legislature is
now acting under authority from congress. This will mean a
greatly increased number of schools, as il formerly took 20
to form a district.
The house has passed the bill prohibiting the use or safe
of tobacco in any fonn to persons under IS years of age and
the bill regarding the disposition of estates where there are
no J^eirs. The house also passed the senate bill taking the pow
er to tax the property of whites from native councils, but mak
ing whites answerable to ordinances for the government of vil
lages.
The senate late Saturday passed ten bills, among them,
that relating to the regulation of the practice of optometry,
prohibiting liquor advertisements, establishment of govern
ment fish hatcheries, and ereatingdivisional boards of road
commissioners. The other bills passed relate to amendments
existing laws.

The Democratic Central committee;
is now in favor of the reappointment j
of Governor Strong and if another
vote were taken tomorrow a resolu
tion asking for his reappointment
would he carried by five votes to four,
instead of being lost by that major
ity.
This is due to the fact that M. O.
Solberg, the territorial committee
man from the Second division, on
learning that George Grigsby, who
held his proxy, had voted against
Strong wired to William Maloney, tel
ling him that the proxy sent to Grigs
by is in future to be used by Maloney,
as he, Solberg, is in favor of Strong’s
1 reappointment.
i Maloney is one of the committee
| men who voted for Governor Strong,
or, rather, voted against the endorse
ment of those who were supposed to
be opposed to the governor, and the
Solberg proxy now given to him will
be voted for Governor Strong if the
occasion should again arise.
Another cable has been received
from Nome also stating that the dem
ocratic organization of the Second di
vision is solidly behind Governor
Strong.

Some of the rich ore can be seen in the display window of the
Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage, Alaska.
As soon as the snow is gone, the ground will be thoroughly
prospected by practical mining men to ascertain the amount
of ore tonnage available for a. milling plant; also the actual
value of the ore per tou, aud the character of the ore treatment i
required.

(Seattle I ’ost- Intelligencer.)
Alaska’s memorial to congress ask
ing for coast defenses to protect her
harbors is the most vital expression of
Alaskan needs that has been voiced by
l the territorial legislature, in the opin-J
' ion ot Hart L. Thane, mining engineer
and manager of the Alasku-Gastineau
mine, at Juneau, who arrived in Seat
tle yesterday on the steamer City of i
Seattle. The memorial was unanimous
* ly adopted by the Alaska legislature
and Mr. Thane says he is only express-,
i ing the prevailing belief of Alaskans
when he says that the fortifications
of vital points on the coast line is
needed immediately.
“Alaskans who have urged this need
of defense are not alarmists,” said Mr.
Thane last night at the New Washing
ton hotel. "It is only necessary to
look s»t the map of Alaska to realize
how easily an enemy might seize the
ports of the territory and use them for
a naval base in operations against
American commerce on the Pacific, or
against the ports of this coast. This,
in addition to the temptation to seize
Alaska's great unprotected wealth in
coal, copper, gold and fisheries,
“Today this wealth is entirely de
fenseless, a natural temptation to any
power seeking expansion or seeking
domination on the Pacific. To protect
it is the simple dictate of common
sense.
“It was pointed out in the legisla
ture at Juneau that the cost of needed
defenses would be small, as the en
trances to our harbors are few and
narrow. In Southeastern Alaska it
.
would be necessary only to fortify the
. four straits leading fro mthe open
ocean to the channels of the inside pas-1
sage, namely, Clarence, Sumner, Chat-1
ham and Icy Straits. All of them are:
narrow .with rugged shores, and a few
!
defense guns would make them im
pregnable.
“Besides these straits, the harbors j
of Cordova, Seward, Anchorage and
Dutch Harbor need protection. Aside
from these points the whole coastline
offers no points of vantage to an
enemy, no means of access to the in
terior and no location for an enemy
base.
“The problem of fortifying the
Alaska coast is so simple that Alas
kans feel their appeal for such pro
tection is very reasonable. And it is
really for the protection of the whole
of American possessions on the Pacific.
“The Philippines and Hawaii would
be quickly subjugated if their com
merce were cut off, as it could be from
an enemy base in Alaska. Reference i
to the map will show how close Alas
kan ports lie to the lines of trade.”
Mr. Thane says that many Alas- ,
kans are anxious to organize a nation- !
al guard in the territory. He has per
sonally had numerous requests from
members of the Aluska-Gustineau;
force, which numbers more than 1000'
men.
Speaking of mining conditions in the
Juneau district, Mr. Thane says the J
Alaska-Gastir.eau mine is going full!
blast, turning out 8000 tons of ore;
daily, and the Aluska-Juneau plant is
practically completed to 7000-ton ca
pacity. He anticipates a year of big i
production. He will be in Seattle fori
a week or more, assembling data on a
mining investigation of which he is in
charge affecting deposits in numerous
locations in Pacific coast states.

ALASKA’S GOVERNOR
POPULAR AT I). ( .!
l
(Juneau Dispatch)
Mrs. Cornelia Templeton Hatcher, I
who is the Alaskan representative of
the League of American Pen Women,
ami an accredited member of the Na
tional Editorial association, is cover
ing the proceedings of the Alaskan
legislature for three outside periodi- j
cals. Mrs. Hatcher is also president
of the Alaska W. C. T. U., and in that
capacity she spent six weeks at Wash
ington, D. C., in the interests of the
prohibition bill for Alaska, passed by
the t>4th congress. When questioned1
as to the sentiment in the national
capital concerning the reappointment
of Governor Strong, Mrs. Hatcher
corroborated the opinion of other re
turning Alaskans, that no other can
didate will receive serious considera
tion. Governor Strong’s administra
tion is considered above criticism by
those holding the best intrests of the
territory at heart and the petitions
for his reappointment sent in from
every town in Alaska are considered
bythe Washington authorities as grat
ifying evidence of his persona! popu
larity.

HIGH COST OF WHISKEY
IN ALASKA “DRY” SECTION
1DITAROD.—\V. Mitchell, who
arrived from the roast last week, says
that the liquor industry in the “dry”
town of Anchorage is lively, and al
though there have been several con
victions and some heavy tines have
been assessed, the profits of the bus
iness are such that bootlegging is by
no means on the wane. It seems that
any resident of Anchorage may se
cure liquor from outside points by
means of an order, and that the deal
ers import great quantities of the
goods under “orders” from individual
customers. It is a case of making
the consumer pay the freight, how
ever, as Mr. Mitchell says that the
price of a bottle of whiskey, contain
ing a fifth of a gallon, is $5. Beer is
sold at $3 per bottle. And the de
mand for both beet and whiskey is
brisk.
