AFTER MOnEY
Government Asks Retail
 Price for Wood

The land department at Washington has has made demand upon the wood choppers, of Skagway and upon the consumers of wood cut upon govern ment land, who reside in this city, for SSlOO, the retail value of the wood and piles cut within the last year or so. The commissioner of the general land office refuses to accept settlement upon basis of 25 cents a cord as was done with those upon the Yukon river the news of which first appeared in the Daily Alaskan. The commissioner re- fuses to return the certified checks which. accompanied the wood choppers offer of settlement.
 Such was the information conveyed by P. M. Mullen, receiver of public moneys at the Juneau land office, at a meeting of most of those concerned last night at the Fifth Avenue hotel. Mir. Mullen, acting under his instruct ions, last night and today formally de- manded of the wood choppers, the Moore wharf company and the North west Light & Power Company, the sum of S5 a corr for wood and 9l cents a foot for piling from cut land by them or bought from those who cut it. It is held that the government can claim the pay from either those who cut the tim Der or from those who consumed it.
 All those concerned refused to pay the money demanded and will make q further presentation of their case to the general land office The Moore Wharf Company will take the position, naturally, that it cut piles for it's own use, paying for the labor, and not for commercial purposes. The electric light people will probably take the same position.
 It is probable that the chamber of commerce will take the matter up for the wood choppers.
 Some Skagway people have complied with the requirement that permission must first be granted those who desire to cut timber on the public lands, and have made application for that privel- ege. The application is made for per- mission to cut all the timber on a specifically described piece of land. The timber will be appraised and sold.
 Mir. Mullen will leave on the Hum boldt for Juneau tonight.

TREASURER ASKS
FOR POLICE GUARD
County Official Fears HoIdup
During Rush to Pay
Taxes.

Fearing that an attempt might be
made to hold up the cashier in his
Office, County Treasurer Metzdorf yes
terday applied for police protection,
and all day long a big policeman stood
guard in the Office, just outside the
cashiers cage, inside of which, in
plain sight of hundreds Of persons who
passed by, was piled more than $4,000
in gold and paper money.
Officer Gross was assigned to the
task of guarding the county's cash,
and his presence at the office during
the day when so many people passed
through for the purpose of paying their
taxes, had a quieting effect upon
Treasurer Metzdorf and his deputies.
Never before in the history of the
county treasurer's Office have people
paid their taxes so promptly as they
have this year. The last day for the
payment of taxes, before the penalty
attaches, is Tuesday, and Monday be-
ing a holiday, there was a record
breaking rush at the Office yesterday,
hundreds of people who have been
waiting until the last. paying their
taxes during the day.
Tough Looking Men Seen.
From the time the office opened at
o'clock in the morning until it closed
for the day, a steady stream of people
passed through the Office, until, to-
wards evening, the money in the cash
ier's cage was piled up almost as high
as the cashiers head. More than
$4,000 was paid in during the day.

cannot be very great. The tops and
branches were gathered in piles and
then fired, and while all was not con-
sumed, the charred wood remaining

special incentive to burn The burning
of the tops will serve to protect the

forests still remain untouched.
Might Have Avoided Big Fires.
Minnesota loggers in the past have
always avoided burning the tops on
the plea that they could not afford to
have it done, and doubtless this fact
has contributed to many costly fires in
the past 1 am not prepared to say
positively what | think of the loggers'
contention, but shall make some re-
port of the matter to the governor, and
will include my conclusions in that re-
port.
Gen. Andrews gave the impression
that the loggerS had simply avoided a
little effort by setting up the excuse Of
the added cost of destroying the tops
and branches of trees already cut, and
that their failure to do so had resulted
in great many costly fires to the
state.
The chief fire warden has completed
his annual report covering the value of
standing pine in Minnesota, the guam
tity sold during the year by the state
and the injury done the standing tim
ber by fires. He roughly estimated the
value of standing pine in Minnesota
at $100,000,000, and in feet he estimates
the total at $4,000, 600, 600 feet. Gen.

CITY NEWS
START AFTER BASS
Many Fishing Parties Leave for
the Lakes.

Outgoing trains last night, in almost
every direction, carried fishing parties
destined for Minnesota and Wisconsin
lakes for the bass fishing which legally
opens today. Not only were the fish
ermen very much in evidence about the
union depot, but their boats and fish
ing tackle encumbered platforms and
crowded the express cars of the trains
in which their owners soon rolled back
luxuriously in soft cushions to dream
of big black bass tugging furiously at
their lines and finally with a mighty
leap landing securely in the basket in
the bottom of the Wobbly boat.
1t was the greatest exodus of fish
ermen seen in st. Paul in years, for
there had come to town reports from
country friends that the fish were bit
ing eagerly and that it was almost
certain that there would be something
doing at the lakes if only the city fell
lows would come out with their mod
ern new tackle and possibly loan it to
the country cousins.
The Great Northern, with its lines
penetrating the park region of Mime
sofa in several directions, took out
parties to Osakis, Alexandria, Avon
lakes, Park Rapids, Bemidii. Cass
LANE, OlCCA Idhe, K dyHeSNIIIey fLlCn-
mond and half a dozen other points
where advices were that the sport was
good.

Morrison county lakes, the lakes on the
Minnesota & International in Northern
Minnesota, and Gull lake.
