The Canadian Yukon's official repre
sentative in the legislature of his coun
try will pass through Skagway this
week to his federal capital, where he
will participate io all matters of law
making, voting upon all questions that
come up, whether concerning his ter
ritory or the Dominion. Alaska, the
American country of the north which
almost envelops the Canadian Yukon,
which is five times as populous, pro
duces three times as much wealth, the
yteljing resources of which are not con
fined to one iadustry and which has
teen settle I many times as long, is still
unrepresented at the capital of its na
tion. But to go further, Dr. Thomp
son will leave behind him a territorial
council, the majority of whos* mem
bers are elected by the people, which
has control over local regulations and
which fixes taxation and expends the
funds. In spite of all this, one of the
mo?! important things that will occupy
the attention of Dr. Thompson will be
his efforts to secure wider measure of
self-government for his constituents.
The condition is not one that will
cau-e inflation of American pride. It
is a condition that would cause one to
for;et that Yukon territory is an ap
pendage of the colony of a monarchy,
while Alaska owes allegiance to a re
public that was lestablished with the
right of self-government for its corner
stone.
To say the least, this anomalous con
dition is unpleasant and undesirable.

Marcus Braun, an agent of the United
States government, has made a lengthy
report upon the cooditiocs in Europe
which lead to emigration to the United
States. He says the governments of
southern and south-central Europe en
courage the movement to the United
States, and that there are schools where
proposed emigrants are taught how to
answer the questions of American im
migration inspectors. He says the out
going people are urged not to become
American citizens, to send to their
homes all the money they possibly can
spare, and to return heme their selves
as soon as they have a competence.
The matter is being investigated by
congress. Mr. Braun says Jews are
the best immigrants we can get from
southern Europe, because they come to
make our country their country and
that of their children.
A new apportionment bill has been
introduced into the Iowa legislature
which, it is said, will prevent the pos
sibility of the democrats capturing any
congressmen from that state. Several
Iowa districts were depended upon by
the minority party in congress to make
up the majority it expects in ths next
house of representatives.
Couldn't Mr. Reynolds get "Shell
game" Jackson to endorse his develop
ment company over his official signa
ture? And the pet ass ? We are al?
ready under great obligations to Mr.
Reynolds, but, really, he could do
more for us.
Will he accept? That is the ques
tion the gubernatorial candidates are
asking themselves, their friends and
everybody else. Of course, (.'apt. Jar

It is now proposed to have a world's
fair at San Francisco in 1913 to cele

GOOD JOBS
Kiye First-Class Castoms Po
sitious to be Filled
There are five positions of the first- 1
class to be filled in the customs force of
the district of Alaska. Incumbents for
them will be selected from those who
successfully pass the civil service ex
aminations that will be held at Juneau
next month.
One of the desirable positions in the
customs service that are to be filled is
the one of deputy collector at the
White Pass, formerly held by E. Finch
Pitman. Several persons are being
considered for this, among them G. G.
Miller, of the customs force at this
place, who has been looking out for tbe
post. If Mr. Miller shall be selected
for this position there will be another
vacancy in the force of Inspectors at
this port. Collector C. L. Hobart re
cently retureed from the south, and he
will probably make |the appointment
for White Pass very soon.
It is understood that N. E. Bolehanin,
who has bad charge of the customs sub
port at Dutch Harbor, will return to
Skagway as soon as he shall be relieved
at that place by D. P. Lea, formerly of
Skagway.

CLEAN SIDEWALKS
The employees at the White Pass
shops turned out yesterday evening and
cleaned the snow from the sidewalks
and crossings on State street from the
shops to Ele\ecth avenue, They left
the work from that point down town
for the property owners along the
stre3t to perform.
The city has been cleaning the side
walks of snow in the business blocks
down town, but has felt it would be too
great a tax on the resources to do the
wor.< in the residence portions of town.
