sources of the territory. During the year he
states that about 100000 full-sized seal

this amount, among other items, were a
million representing tho value of the whale-
bone, two millions the seal fur and two millions

to Alaska: an extension OF mail facilities; that
some plan be adopted for giving laws to Alaska.

MERRY-Go-RoUND NOT A VEHICLE.
THE STAR has referred to the complaints of
the residents i'll the vicinity Of the merry go
round at the corner OF l4th street and Wallach
place. The owners of the merry-go-rouud
were operating under license for the trans
portation Of passengers. for which they paid
fee of $40. A question was then raised by
those interested in the removal of
the merry-go-round, as to the license
fee charged, they claiming that $40 per year
was not sufficient. The matter was referred to
the attorney for the District and today the
Commissioners received an opinion from the
assistant attorney. Mr. Thomas, in which he
holds that inasmuch as merry-go-round is not
vehicle for the transportation of passengers
nor the proprietor common carrier, 1t should
be subject to a tax of SO per day or $40 per
week.
