DESPOSITORY FOR TERRITORIAL FUNDS.
LEGISLATURE IS
FAVOR VOTE
t
The territorial legislature has de
clared thnt the people of Alaskn are
to decide by secret ballot for or
, against the saloon. By a two-thirds
vote the House instructerd the com
mittee to present a bill under the pro
visions of which a vote is to be poll
ed at the general November election,
1910, and if the returns by the canvass
ing board, Keburary, 1917, show the
majority to favor the drys the legisla
ture which convenes during March,
1917, is to pass a prohibition law, or
_ If possible ask congress to enact a
prohibition law for the territory, effec
tive January 1, 1918.
The bill results from a compromise
effected by Dan Driscoll, leading the
House forces against hasty action on
prohibition, and Representative Snow,
author of prohibition legislation in the
House.
The question of a dry or wet terri
tory arose over the Snow memorial
asking congress to allow Alaska to
cast a secret ballot on the question.
This memorial was tabled in favor of
one ordering a vote in 1916 by the
territory itself. This memorial was
. attacked by Driscoll and others on th«
i grounds It would hamper the revenues
• of the territory and there would be
1 no session of the territorial legisla
' ture to provide revenue in case the
' territory went dry.
; Representative Daly also saved the
; colored population of the territory
; from being disfranchised at the elec
| tlon by having the word "white" strick
| en from the bill. As originally drawn
| it provided for “white" citizens only
to vote on the question.
Representative Driscoll complained
that a Juneau newspaper had heralded
. a front page with "Tried kill the dry
> bill,” when he had had the original
Snow memorial tabled. Representa
, tive Driscoll declared he was in favor
, of allowing the voters to express their
, preference in any and all public mat
1 ters alTecting their welfare and would
1 abide by their verdict recorded at the
■ polls.
* ‘vnriiuii i » t UCiU UHKCU . I lilB
; any representative body of citizens
; petitioned the legislature for a secret
; ballot on the subject?
| Representative Shoup informed the
| House that 300 Douglas citizens has
[ presented a petition to Judge Jennings
* asking a secret ballot on the question
r of “wet or dry" at Douglas City. He
also declared his territory to be dry
and it was not a question of revenue
but one of the injustice of "cutting off
at the pockets" the business of the re
tail liquor dealers now licensed by law.
Representative Holland declared
there was a strong sentiment In his
section. Already a peititon has been
sent from his home section signed by
ninety per cent of the residents asking
for a chance to vote by secret ballot.
He said he hoped the matter would not
come up, but he knew how his people
at home stood on the subject.
Representative Moran declared the
ballot of the people was the best way
to settle such questions. He also de
, dared the Day objection to be a good
: one.
For a secret ballot—Coombs, Day,
Driscoll, Heckman, Held, Holland Mo
ran, Daly, Snow, Shoup, Tansey, and
Collins.

GERMAN MONEY

BERLIN, March 30—German bank

decide on the matter has recently
ruled that the banks are to let the in

after the war, when both principal and

MOURNED AS DEAD
BOY WRITES HOME
F.S8KN, March 30—Just as a family
in the town of Werdohl was about to
begin a funeral service for the son,
who had been reported as killed In a
bnttle in Fiance, the postman arrived
with a letter from the boy. written In
a hospital In Toulm His sight and
hearing had been partly destroyed by
a bullet wound in th. head but other
wise he was well. The son’s estate
had been paid to his parents as final
and unequivocable proof of his death,
wherepon they had made prepara
tions for a service to mourn him.

KUSKOKWIM BAY AND
RIVER CHARTS READY
Of Interest In the advancement of
geographical knowledge are new pub
lications of the coast and geodetic sur
vey, which are ready for Issue, giving
the first accurate data by which navi
gators will be enabled to enter the
Kuskokwim river. This route was
found and surveyed In 1914 and the
necessary publications are available
well in advance of the opening of navi
gation In 1916.
The charts showing the route are
numbered 9103 and 9104. A coast
pilot publication descriptive of the
route has been printed. A copy of this
publication will be attiched to the
charts of the bay and river.
As parts of the route through Kus
kokwim bay must be traveled at low
water and the channel In the Kusko
kwim river at high water, a knowledge
of the times and heights of high and
low water are items of first Impor
tance. On account of the difficulty of
determining accurately the tidal ele
ments in this region, the necessary
computations nre in progress for the
preparation of a special table of pre
dicted times and heights of high and
low waters for 1916 for Kuskokwim
bay and river. This will be available
for issue about April 16.
PREFERS PROSPECTING
TO LEGISLATIVE JOB
"1 never worked so hard in my
life,” said Representative Tansey, of
Cordova, when asked how he liked the
legislative grind.
“I have .unshed o''er the mountains
in Alaska with a big pack, waded its
streams, fought flies, gnats, mosqui
toes and other insects, did the tango
act over niggerheads and waded in
swamps where every other step meant
a ducking, and gone without eating
at long stretches, but the worst exper
ience in that line Is a summer’s pas
time compared with the mind-tortur
ing grind of the legislature.
"Why couldn’t my people have left
me alone.” continued Mr. Tansey, with
a faraway look in bis eyes, "to follow
my peaceful vocation. I belong in the
hills, not in the legislature. If the
0
people of the territory only knew how
hard all of the legislators are working
and how cloself they follow every
move and meet and thresh over things
In committee, they might be less harsh
In their criticism sometimes.
"Why we sometimes debate, an hour
or two over the single word 'or‘, where
the meaning might be ambigous.
There isn’t a man on the Job who is
laying down. And sometimes when I
think of all we are trying to accom
plish and do it right and the short time
before us to do it in, I feel almost dis
couraged.
‘‘Sometimes in the heat of argument
we may get a bit personal, but it is be
cause we are intensely interested in
getting done those things upon which
we have set our hearts.
“As a whole, the underlying motive
si to secure the very best possible
legislation for very section of Alaska."

FRENCH VESSEL
GOES THROUGH CANAL
PANAMA, March 30.—The first ves

various ores. She is a steel freight
ship 398 feet long and was built in
1912 at St. Naxaire for the Pacific

EQUIP STEAMERS
WITH POWER
BOATS
An Innovation In connection with
the operation of the fleet of the Alaska
Steamsshlp Company, the equipping of
four of the big passenger liners with
launches or power boats, Ib being plan
ned by officials of the company. The
historic captain's gig or ship's boat is
soon to disappear from the Bteamers
Victoria, Alameda, Mariposa and
Northwestern and a more modern
method of making trips ashore adopted
by officers of the big liners.
The steamer Santa Ana, which plies
from Seward to the westward, has
already been equipped with a gasoline
launch, and the experiment has been
so successful that all of the large ves
sels of the company will soon carry
power boats.
The Santa Ana calls at small har
bors and coves in Western Alaska
where there are no piers, and In this
service a launch has been found of
great value in transacting business be
tween ship and shore.
The Alaska Steamship Company has
ordered a twenty-four-foot power boat,
equipped with a flve-horse power Stan
darl engine for the liner Victoria from }.
the Tregoning Boat Company, of Bal- j;
lard beach. The little craft Is expect- -J
ed to be a great convenience to Capt. |
John A. O'Brien and his officers in ij
transacting ship business at Nome, :i
where the liner Is moored la the road
V
stead quite a distance from shore. The
power boat wilf also be a great con* :•
venlence at St. Michael.
The launch now aboard the Santa :•
Ana was built by the Tregoning Boat 3
< ompany. It Is twenty-one feet tong •:
Ana was built by the Tregoning Boat \
and Is equpped with a four-horse pow- :
< r stanard engine.
The boats for the Alameda. Mari- !
posa and Northwetem will be built In i;
the near future. The government re- -I
quires that vessels plying 200 mile or j:
more off shore be equipped with a ii
launch or power boat. The liners of :j
the Alaskan Steamship Company op- i|
erating to Southeastern and South- :•
western Alaska ports do not come un- j
der this law, but the company decided
to obey its provisions aboard the larg- j:
er passenger vessels and the steamer jl
Santa Ana as a matter of convenience, i*
I he \ Ictoria, which plies between ?
Seattle and Bering sea ports, comes j
under the new law and will be the first
of the company’s larger liners' equip
ped with a power boat. J
GERMANIC ORGIN
STREETS TO REMAIN
LONDON, March 30—War feeling is
not likely to obliterate German names
from the London streets, since the
London County Council has turned
down a number of petitions on the
ground that a sufficient case for an al
teration had not been made out Dis
contented patriots must therefore con
tinue to live in Berlin Road, Wiesbad
en Road and other streets of Germanic

RUSSIA PROHIBITS
EXPORTATION POULTRY
LONDON, March 30—In order to
conserve her supplies of food Russia
has prohibited the export of poultry,
dead or alive. The “Poultry World”
states that all available supplies of
poultry in Russia are being collected
and shipped to Finland for preserva
tion in cold storage. In normal times,
England imports monthly nearlv a
■
