 The Valdez News opines that should the Alaska delegate bill pass, it will be the most important event in AIaska's history since the purchase of the dis trict from Washington.
 Valdez now has an Odd Fellows Club, a Knights of Pythias Club, an Eagles Club and Mason's Club. Why they don't club together and form a lodge of some kind is mystery.
 A rumor from Toronto has reached White Horse, says the Star, that the newly elected Yukon representative, Hon. Jas. H. Ross, is to be taken into the cabinet as Secretary of State.
 An agricultural item in the Skagway Guide states that Ed Hanley, the we'll known Alaska cattlemau, was married at Portland, Oregon, on January 10 to Miss Reese, a leading society lady.
 Shallow diggings, s4 to the pan on Discovery, and the stalking of 100 claims, bas brought Arizona creek, 125 miles up the Klondike river from Daw- son, prominently before the public.

A Washington dispatch says that an
 attempt is being made to obtain the passage of the Beidler bill, now pend
 ing in the house, to stop the slaughter
 of seals in Alaska. The Beidler bill au-
 thorizes the President to open negotia-
 tions with great Britain for readjust-
 ment of sealing laws in an effort to
 stop pelagic sealing. It is asserted that
 unless some action is taken to prevent
 the wanton slaughter of seals, they
 will be practically extinct by 1906.
 "There is no use," says the Douglas News, "for the people of Douglas Is- land to ask that the court commission CT should fulfill the requirements of
 the code and become resident of the town mentioned in his appointment for Judge Brown, who seems to be the only power, refuses to take action" Serves lem damnwellright! The people of community who, according to their newspaper exponent, think a
 bastard form of government which de-
 nies them the right of choosing their own local officials we'll enough to be let alone, ought to be the last to squeal about the sins of commission and con- mission of those set over them. Is it possible that the love of the News for the triumvirate which, like the king, can do no wrong, is beginning to take on chill?-Ketchikan Journal.
 Speaking of Judge Harlan, US. Attorney in Judge 'Wickersham's Dis trict, the Valdez Prospector pays the following tribute to hls good horse sense; Judge Harlan is broad mind ed man and will endeavor to enforce the laws as the people-the citizens of the district, want them enforced. He is of the opinion, and we believe right ly so, that he should act as though elected by the district, and enforce such laws as public sentiment demands and will uphold him in doing. Many of the laws in our code cannot be en- forced and it would be needless out lay of money and time to endeavor to-. But such laws as the people want, Judge Harlan will use his best en- deavor to enforce and we believe he will have the assistance and backing of the other court officials.
 Five thousand bleaching skeletons, on islands and mainland, attest the pa ternal care of a great government. If the wraiths of the unburied Eskimo, who have died of starvation and dis ease on this coast the past few years, ever walked abroad, the night would be filled with shrieking souls attesting the neglect and indifference of an ungrate- ful republic. What shall be done then? have endeavored to save souls while the bodies perished from neglect, disease and want The absurd ity of such proceeding is atrocious. And it still continues. Books by the ton are printed yearly in Washington, telling about the progress of the rein deer industry and the civilization and education of the natives, while they are dying under the very eyes of the writers, by the score. The whole system of our treatment of the Boring coast native is a hollow mockery, a delusion and sham. It is base lie. The na- tive population grows less year be year. In few years it will have passed away. Then the government may ask why the Eskimo perished.-Nome Nugget.

The Skagway Alaskan uses two col umns of it's valuable space to announce
 that it has more readers in Skagway White Horse and vicinity than all the other papers combined. Whoso blow, eth not his own horn, the same shall not be blown.
 The news of the sensational strike on Little Minook has reached Dawson through w. l.. Powell a late arrival from Rampant. The day he left Ram part a miner on Little Minook, Jr., reached bedrock and before night had taken out $40 in pickups and pan nings.
 It is understood that the court of fcials have in contemplation the pur. chasing of the Whaling building for a court house, providing the same is moved back off the street, says the Valdez Prospector. Such building should certainly make good house of correction.
 The Alaska Steamship Go. is build ing at their marine ways on the Du- vanish river, steamer that will be a small sized Samson. The new craft will be used on the Alaskan run to carry dynamite and other combust- ibles, besides extra heavy pieces of machinery.
 After Collector Andrews of the port of Skagway is officially advised that the import duty has been taken off coal, there will not be enough duty col lected at Skagway to pay the price of office stationary, to say nothing about the salaries of the collector and his inspectors
 The Alaska boundary dispute seems to be no nearer a settlement because of the appointment of new com mission, consisting of three members from each side. A deadlock is proph- esied. President Roosevelt has said that the United States will never yield an inch of territory in Alaska.
 The two youngest miners in the Yu kon are Arthur Heacock, aged 16 yeare, and his brother Leonard, aged 14 years. These two plucky and energetic juven iles are daily working in the Arctic temperature of the Klondike, emulat- ing thousands of vigorous men in the pursuit of the elusive nugget and hid den grains of gold.
 Fifteen Pup on Last Chance is devel- oping splendid channel to pay in an old channel on the right limit, says the Dawson News.

The depth is 40 to- 50 feet to bed rock.
 News of the suffering of two Roy ukuk miners vas brought to Dawson by W. l.. Powell who arrived there on the 22nd ut. They Were reduced to such straights that they ate the flesh of a dog which died last fall on the trail. The two unfortunates were on their way to Fort Yukon, their food gave out and they were compelled to kill their dogs. Only the fact that they came across a mail carrier saved them from death by starvation aud exhaustion. They are at Fort Yukon.
