Good Advice.

Judge James w. Witten, who was in Skagway several days on official business connected with the title to government property and the town site matters here, says he came to Alaska partly to investigate the charges against Gen. Distin, the surveyor, though he says his in- vestigation was rarther an incident to the trip than cause for it. Judge Witten did not hesitate to say that the charges did not amount to much, and that he believed the office Of surveyor general was being conducted in a very satisfactory manner.
 Judge Witten gave it as his opin- ion that the people of Skagway should make application for a sur vey of the townsite and the pur- chase of the title to their lots. He says the longer the matter shall be delayed the more complicated it will become. The cost beyond the bare work of surveying the town will be small. The government asks only $1.25 per acre.-Alaskan.
 The advice of Judge Witten to the people of Skagway is equally applicable to the people of Valdez. We are now enjoying the rights of squatters with no title to our prop erty; and in disposing of ground to another the only method left to us is to quit-claim. While this may be perfectly satisfactory to the seller it is not so to the buyer, and deters many from becoming pur- chasers.
 There is also an element of chance, as many squatters go away for the season leaving their houses untenanted, the doors open and the windows out, this is an invitation to anyone to go in and take posses sion. If the one who jumps the lot is not able to hold it he will, at least, be able to give considerable trouble. It would be otherwise with title to the property, which can be secured by the town by a small outlay, and then transferred to the individuals.
