WORLDS RICHEST FAMILY
wealth Of RothsehiIds FOots Up 70 /
Total Of a Billion and
aHalf.

a writer IN the Tattler, q London
publication which Is nearly always
bright, and often very well informed,
argues that however great the riches
81 the American milionaIres may be,
there Is no family IN the United States
which approaches the wealth Of the
Rothschilds. He makes q good case.
Il appears that careful estimates CT
the possessions Of the French branen
Of the family place its riches At OF
shove 800. OO0, 900. The British Roths-
childs are rated sin higher IN the
financial world. The German mem
berB Of the family which won its drsi
success IN that country are also very
rieh. and there are other Rothsehildl
stin to be reckoned with. Altogether,
It is claimed that the wealth Of the
entire family Is not less than $780,
100000.
II that sum Is anywhere near the
marks, then II follows that there Is nc
American family anything Ike so rel

It was reported here by wire that Humes. of Seattle, was a candidate for the judgeship in this district, but the Seattle papers state that a combination has been formed to secure him the appointment as judge of the first district, and move Judge Brown up to the governors chair. Either way Alaska stands to get the worst of it. In the event of Humes being appointed judge here 1t means one more carpet bagger with his relatives and friends to fill minor offices. God knows there are enough carpet-baggers in Alaska now, but it seems to be the policy of the parties in power to relegate federal appointees to the political bone yard as soon as they become well enough acauaint- ed with conditions in Alaska to be able to lay some slight claim to be- ing Alaskans. If Humes gets the judgeship in the first district and Brown is appointed governor, Alas ka will be doubly afflicted. To have the highest office in the dis trict filled by a man of Browns calibre would certainly be unfortu- nate.

Locating Claims by Agent.

There Is no provision of law pro hibiting the location of a claim or the doing of any of the acts requir- ed to complete the appropriation by an agent, and the fact that the locator acted through an agent in such matters does not invalidate the location.
 The object of the statutory pro- vision requiring annual assessment work on mining claims is to give substantial evidence of the locator's good faith, and the law should be literally construed with that end in view; a compliance with the statute may be proved by any evil dence which establishes that the work done and improvements made are reasonably worth the sun of $100.-Federal Reporter.

COUNCILMEN.

The council acted wisely in tab ling the resolution to cut out street lights during the summer. The experience Sunday and Monday nights, during the breakdown of the plant, was enough to remove any doubt in the minds of the councilmen as to the advisability of trying to save expenses by re- ducing the light bill. It would be false economy and would cost the town much more in the long run than the light bill amounts to.

Strange to say there is not a peace officer at any point in the in- terior of Alaska, between Valdez and Eagle, a distance of nearly 300 miles, though from now on hund- reds of men will be scattered all over the country, with possibility of trouble arising at any time. Heretofore offenses have been over looked owing to the great incon- yenience of coming to Valdez to make complaint, except in few cases when it was necessary to send a deputy marshal from here to hunt up offenders. There is now commissioner at Copper Center. but no one to make an arrest. That would be good place at which to station a deputy marshal. He could be reached by wire from Eagle, Fairbanks, Valdez or any intermediate points.

A resolution was introduced in the senate and house recently to extend the time for construction of the Akron Sterling & Northern railroad in Alaska. The resolu- tions were introduced by Mir. Bur kett of Nebraska in the house and Mir. Willard of Nebraska in the senate. This is the road from Val dez through Keystone canyon, and to hold the right-of-way it is neces- sary for construction to be under way before next February as Con- gress has refused to extend the time. This may be an important factor in hastening railroad con- struction from Valdez, and Con- gress certainly did us favor by refusing to allow the company to hold a right-of-way without mak- ing any move toward actual con- struction.

their lands might be subdivided and irrigated by a
private corporation Suitable laws were passed, but
the company failed to build the works, and the In
dians have been waiting for other relief. From time
immemoria they had been accustomed to cultivate
the lands along the river in spots wet by the natural
overflow These areas have now passed into the
hands of the whites All that is left the Indians is
desert land that, without water is vauelesS. With
water, however it can be made to produce several

BILL relief has finally come to the impoverished In.
dams.
The secretary of the interior is now free to build
the necessary canals under the terms of the reclaim,
alton law, and to alot to each Indian five acres OF
land with water He need not wait on any private
corporation AS the Indian families average from
five to six persons this would give them ample lands
for their support judging from the experience of the
|Mormons in Utah, where the average irrigated farm
is less than 80 acres The lands not utilized by the
Indians are to be opened to white settlers who will
pay for them. Nnder the terms Of the reclamation
law the sale Of lands win serve to defray the ex
penses Of the irrigation works. payment being made
in 10 annual instalments Southern California and
adjacent portions of Arizona should be benefited
by the influx of settlers which is sure to follow the
irrigation of the land.
