Telephone No. Is
ON WRONG TACK

If President Roosevelt and the other national leaders desire Alaska to have laws that are fitted Co the conditions existing In che North, and it they have the confidence in and respect for the people that are living in this district that they pretend to have, why do they not give Us the power Co make our own lawsg Those who reside in this country are certainly as well informed on the conditions that exist up here as any commission or other people who reside in the states can become; and we believe it win be conceded that they are as greatly interestedin in the country as Is congress or any other body or class of men. What we would like Co hear i, less talk abou, the kind oi legislation that those in authority would like Co see given Alaska. and more about per hitting Alaskans Co ogoyoru themselves.
 Mir. Roosevelt wants Alaska Co have laws made in che interest Of the actual settlers, he says, rather than in the in- terest Of few corporations who arc seaLiny fo skin" the territory Of its resources and then leave it. Well and good. But is it not strange that i' does not seem to occur Co the president that the bes, way Co secure laws in the interest of the actual settlers is Co per init the actual settlers Co make those lawss
 The president takes an interest in Alaska and that Is appreciated, but he seems Co have taken the wrong tack, jus, as so many other, have done in connection with Alaska. We do no, want him Co give Us laws, but let him give us the privilege ot exercising our right Co make our own laws.

ARE BOATS
Soows Not Treated as
 Lumber Any More

Under recent rulings of Collector Jarvis, scows of more than five ton burden used on the Yukon river will be treated as foreign bottoms and here after they cannot become American by the payment of the duty on the lumber that is in them as they have been able to do heretofore. This makes it so that merchandise shipped from White horce or Dawson down the Yukon can not go to any place down the river ex- cept to Eagle or St, Michael, the only two customs houses on the river.
 This will not apply to "knockdown' scows shipped from Skagway to White horse and there put together.
 The seizure of the scow and contents is the penalty for the violation of the provisions of the law upon which the ruling Is based.
