FUNSTON WOULD PLANT

Report on Condition of Eskimo and In

dustrious Citizens.

A report made by Brig. Gen. Frederick
Funston, commanding the Department
OF the Columbia. on the condition of ma
tives in Alaska has just been made pub
lie by the War Department.
General Funston recommends the es-
adjustment of agencies among the ma
tives for the purpose Of organizing VII
lagos and encouraging the EsIimos
and Indians to engage in fishing and
other Industries aud to abandon their
rowing life
The natives living along the south
coast and on adjacent islands ara called
Thlinklets. They are Indians and not
Eskimos. and are said by General Fun
ston to be prosperous, but much given
to drink. They are also afflicted by
tuberculosis.
General Funston says the Thlinklets
manufacture liquor from -four. mOlasses
and sugar by the use of crude stills.
which they conceal from the whites,
making prevention impossible.
1t has been suggested that the sale
of flour, molasses and sugar TO these
natives be prohibited. but General Fun
ston does not think this advisable.

GRIMES GETS CONTRACT
FOR SCHOOL PIANOS
Was the Highest Bidder,
Save One.
MR.. WEST INVESTIGATES
These Instruments the Ones Wanted,
Says Education Board, and
That Settles It.

The District Commissioners have
awarded a contract to A V. Grimes to
furnish eleven pianos to the public
schools. AT s225 each. The price quoted
By Mr.. Grimes is the highest. with one
exception. Of the seven bids submitted.
and the recommendation of the Board
OF Education has been subjected TO an
investigation, ordered by Commissioner
West
Mr.. West was advised that the award
of the committee of the Board of Edu-
cation. consisting OF two music teach
ers and Secretary Rodriclx. would war
rant an examination
Refused to Consider.
When the Commissioner so informed
the board, it refused to seriously con-
slider an accusation involving the hon
esty of its committee. and told the Com
missioner he would have to approve
the award, or get the pianos some other
way.
In approving the award Mr. West
makes the following explanation:
During the three years ended June
20. 1903, the sum of S5.655 was expended
a. open market for the purchase Of pia-
los, which amount was G. Ided among
i've firms or dealers. The largest amount

Mr.. DUYALL DEFINES
LAW OF LIMITATIONS
Commissioners May Use 1t
With Justice.
EMPLOYED Against DISTRICT
Creditor Forfeits His Rights by Not
Resorting to Terms of
Statute.

The District Commissioners may or
may not plead the statute of limitations
with regard to claims which may be filed
against the District This statement
was made today in an opinion submitted
TO the Board by Corporation Counsel A
=. Duvan. The action was take' on a
claim made recently by +. A barber
who paid his taxes in duplicate more
than three years ago.
In a former Endorsement on tkl ease
Commissioner West placed HIMSELF on
record as being opposed to taking ad-
vantage of the statute Of limitations. He
said the District should pay all honest
debts. whether Incurred three years or
thirty years ago.
The Corporation Counsel says that
while the Commissioners have the legal
right 10 disallow such claims whenever
presented if they are more than three
years old. yet there is no mandatory
or express provision of law requiring
them to plead the statute or invoke its
protection when considering II claim for
refund. He believes the Commissioners
have the authority TO waive the right
given by the statute. The application
of Mr.. Barber, Mr.. Duvau thinks, is a
meritoriOus one. In discussing the mat
ter further. ne SAYS.
The Washington times., 1903-11-25
Equity of Case.

There is this practical difficulty IN
dealing with the subject. The claimant
in every such case by his laehes has
voluntarily failed 10 assert his right TO
enforce his claim within the statutory
period, and the claim against the munich
pahty has ceased. therefore 10 be an
enforceable debt Under such circum-
stances the Commissioners are asked to
make it a municipal obligation and pay

Shall every claim for refund since
the organization of the present form Of
government. extending over thirty years.
be allowed2 If not every such claim.
then. claims for payments made within
what lesser period of that time?
Should there be a rule regulating the
allowance of such claims, or should they
be left TO persistency on one side and
caprice on the other? If there should
be a rule. what more satisfactory one
can be formulated than that established
b. the general law, of which al persons
are bound TO take notice and govern
themselves accordingly"
Mr. Duvall concludes by saying the
statute OF limitations is deemed TO be
such good and legal defense that it is
uniformly pleaded against the claims of
the municipality wherever il is appliea-
