NEW SYSTEM
Fairbanks People Agitating
 Toleu'S Titles

The Torren's system of keeping land titles has been proposed for Alaska by the people of Fairbanks and Judge Wickersham has promised the people of that city to look into the matter for the district and if it shall be deemed he will feasible to urge it before congress.
 The system s commonly known as the "Torren's system, from it's invent or, and which originated in Australia It's benefit is described as being due to the fact that the government guaran- tees land titles. Two certificates are issued, one to the owner of the land and the other is retained by the govern ment, Every time a transfer is made or mortgage is given, it is recorded upon the certificate, so that the certit- cate, besides being a title to the land, is a perfect abstract. When a man sells a piece of land his certificate shows it's record at a glance, and there is DO question as to the title.
 It is believed that now, before there are great vested interests in abstract books and title insurance companies, would be a good time to introduce the Torren's system in Alaska.

Cinema Lawyer Robbed iD
 SkagWay

N. L. Burton, ,lJr nearly two years city attorney~5f Cinema, was robbed sey- eral nights ago in this city and is coul21pJletely stranded. Burton does not know how exactly where the robbery took place but says it was some place between the Mascot saloon and the New Home restaurant.
 The Cinema lawyer came up the river on the Prospector and arrived .n Skag- way Monday evening. He began driuk- ing shortly after arriving in the city and late iu the evening he wound up at the Mascot saloon intoxicated almost to the point of inconsistencies. At that place amRn volunteered, he says, to take him to the New Home res. .au- rant and lodging house. He awoke at the latter place the next morning 10 find his purse, which he says contained S22O, had been stolen from the inside pocket of his vest. He says this money was telegraphed to him for the purpose of paying his way to Denver.
 Deputy Marshal Johnson is working on the case and hopes to be successful. One man, Fred Gush, of Cinema, was ar- rested yesterday, but he established an alibi.

Memorial

Here comes another suggestion. It Is now
proposed that we build neither a monument
nor q memorial hall, but that a memorial
hospital be built.
A memorial hospital would answer for the
double purpose Of q hall and a hospital. A
room could be set aside for the Daughters
while the remainder of the building could be
used as q hospital, where sick and needy
soldiers might be treated, and where pay
patients could receive the best of attention.
The memorial hospital would stand as a
monument to The valor of the Con federaie
soldiers and as a blessing TO those OF US VITO
may be sick.
The proposition to build a. hospital where
the sick could be treated would surely receive
the appreciation Of greater number OF cit
liens than would q cold marble shaft that
could at best only contribute 10 our vanity.
For years the proposition TO build a mon.
ument has been presented TO our people with
but little success. Suppose the people be
sounded on the subject off hospital.
Much good would certainly come OF a hos.
pital, land for this reason, 1t is probable that
our people would take stock In 1t, and help
the enterprise. The city council would no
doubt lend a helping band, and such of our
public spirited citizens as may be tired of the
monument business might contribute to the
success of a proposition which offers the pos
sibitity ofdoing much good.
