Capitol Building at Juneau.

A petition of the Alaska Chamber of Commerce of Juneau has been trans mitted to Congress by the secretary of the interior in which is set forth req sons why steps should be at once taken to erect. capitol building at Juneau, the same to cost not to exceed S250, 900. The petition is based upon the act of Congress of June, 1900, which designated Juneau as the capitaf ot Alaska, with the proviso that the seat of government should remain at Sitka until suitable grounds and buildings shall be obtained at Juneau.
 Secretary Hitchcock accompanies the petition. with a report upon the prevailing conditions, made by Special Inspector James w. Witten. The in- spector calls attention to the present paramount convenience of Juneau as seat for government transactions, but suggests that in considering the ques- tion of capital removal" the location and future possibilities of Valdez should be kept iG mind.
 If the present active prospecting in it's vicinity results in the discovery of valuable coal, oil or other properties or railroad or good wagon road should open up the Panama and other interior country, MT. Witten thinks that Valdez, as a coastal terminus, with it's supporting industries, may possibly give Juneau a dangerous rival, or at least offer strong arguments in favor of it's availability as future site for the capital of the territory.
 However this may be for the future, it cannot now be said that Valdez is a rival of Juneau in any sense that would make it advisable to designate it as the capital at the present time. All mail now bound for Valdez goes through Juneau, except that coming from the interior.
 Sitka seems to have dropped in it's importance as a business locality. During Russian occupancy of the country it had a population of about 4,OOO people, but now it has less than 400 white people, with about 1000 natives. It is not on direct line of travel and eau best be reached by first going through Juneau, where much government business is already trans acted.-Seattle Times.

Nome advices of February "A tell horrible tale of child-murder at Golovin by the Indians. Moved by an inherent. dislike for female offspring and also by some strange superstition, the savages buried alive the week-old daughter of some of their people. For day and a night preceding the tragedy the h. dians at the igloo had been in wild and angry mood, They had held coun-- cils at which the shannon, or head medicine man, had worked upon their emotions and superstitions until they were nearly frantic. Their cries and shouts attracted the attention of the whites, but the full import was not realized until word came from theigloo of the awful act that had been commit ted. A young Indian, who had been partly educated by the missionaries, came and told that baby had just been buried alive. Deputy Marshal Pate hurried to the scene and found the new-made grave. Hastily he ex- humed the child, but it already had been suffocated. The father and moth CT were arrested and have been taken to Council for trial. Rev. Anderson, of Golovin mission, has instituted a crusade against all squaw men. He will compel them to marry the squaws and support the children, otherwise he will prosecute them to the fullest ex- tent of the law.

Good for Valdez.

The question of landing place for the proposed new telegraphic cable at Valdez is being considered by Gen. Greedy, the chief signal officer of the army. Officially this cable is to con meet Sitka with Fort Liscum, thus clos ing the last gap in the Alaska telegraph system, and enabling the war depart ment to communicate with every inn portant town and army post in Alaska, without using Canadian telegraph lines. Fort Liscum, however, is several miles from Valdez, and it is the object of the war department to accommodate the business interests of Alaska and Seattle as largely as possible says the P.-I. The cable will certainly be used by commercial interests at Valdez, and it will be for their interest to have the cable landed in the town instead of at Fort Liscum. The war departments land lines connect Valdez with the fort
 Consequently, Gen. Greedy is consider ing the advisability oflauding the Sitka- Fort Liscum cable at the town of Val deg instead of at the fort. It is highly probable that the decision will be in favor of Valdez. The cable ship Burn side will be used in laying the cable from Sitka westward, in case the cable comes from the manufacturers in time to be laid during the coming season. The first duty of the Burnside, however, will be to complete the cable from Sitka to Seattle, and the work on this part of the line will be begun as soon as the Burnsides arrives from the Philippines. The cable for the Seat tle-Sitka line is now stored at Tacoma. The question of commercial rates for the use of the Alaska cable lines will be taken up before long. Gen. Greedy wishes to make these rates as low as possible, but he wishes to remind the business interests that the cost and
 maintenance of these lines is very great, and that if he cuts in half the present rates for telegraphing to Alas ka over the combined American and Canadian lines he will be doing pretty we'll. Several newspapers in South eastern Alaska are considering the pro- ject of taking daily news service from the Associated Press, and they are naturally interested in the question of cable tolls. A special rate will be made for press telegrams to all points, and a rate will be made to the Associated Press. Gen. Greedy has already had a conference on the subject with Melville E. Stone, the general manager of that organization, and it is believed that a satisfactory arrangement can be made.
