The Alaska Convention Will Start With A Fight ticians Busy In Caucus. Session Starts
 This

Seattle, Nov. 15-Alaska poli- tics are heated up to fever pitch for the convention which convenes this afternoon. The first fight will be over the chairman of the con- vention, and then will follow the big fight over the election of dele gales to represent the convention at Washington this winter.
 The delegates from Northwestern Alaska had cancus at the Butler hotel and appointed a steering committee composed of Col. Per kins, H. V. Dunn, Charles Heron. A. /. Watson and John Carson, to confer with the other delegates and see if the question of organization of the convention could not be set tied without a fight. Nome wants to elect one delegate to Washing ton, who is to be Dick Ryan. They want a twenty-five dollar tax on mining claims instead of the $1OO assessment work as at present, and want the money to be turned into fund to be used in constructing roads. Dudley Dubois is favored by the northwestern delegates as chairman of the platform and reso- lution committee, and John Corson

The people of Nome are urging the federal government with all their might to take control of Alas kan Indians from missionaries and missions and to place it in the hands of Agents instructed to de- vote more attention to the work of teaching the natives how to work and care for themselves.

 The Southwestern Alaska dele gates also had a caucus, at which considerable opposition developed to the selection of Ryan as dele gate. They agreed to support sam Archer, of Nome, as chairman of the meeting.
 Carl NJ. Johanson will probably receive the support of the south eastern delegates and those from Fairbanks end Panama, as delegate to Washington.
 s ilt is the intention of the mem- bers from Nome and the northwest to attempt to inject q recommenda- tion of Perkins candidacy for the governorship into the meeting, but the members from the southwest think that as long as the office of Governor Brady is under investi- gation this matter should be left alone at present. The latter dele gates are in the minority at pres ent, but more are expected this af- ternOon on the arrival of the Dol phin.

Change In Mining Law.

Speaking of the Alaska conven- ton, R $. Ryan said: All of the delegates that 1 have seen favor harmony and the elimination oi any projects for any certain sec tion of Alaska. It is proposed first to agree on the matters of i'm portance to the entire Northern country. The most important matter will probably be that of de- ciding on some change to the min- ing assessment law. This has caused more trouble than any ex- isting mining law in Alaska. It is required that assessment work to the amount of S10O be done on all mining claims each year.
 ''The plan that seems to meet with the most general approval is for the passage of law to allow the miner to pay the money info a road fund and receive receipt fol the assessment on their claims.

Dear Sir: In re vouchers of sundry
employees of the Department of Pub
lie instruction. endorsed to the order of
Rose G. Davison, 1 respectfully beg to
inform you that on several occasions
both the Deputy Auditor and myself
have spoken to Miss Dawson on this
subject.
Even as late as last December I call
ed her over to the Office especially to
ask the reason of so many of these
vouchers being endorsed to her order
and her reply was that these men were
Door and Woodworking men and were
they compelled to come to my office
thew would lose a half days pay, and
that as she was constantly visiting the
schools where they were at work 1t
was convenience to them to collect
their money for them.
At this time Miss Dawson also stat
ed that she occasionally made these
men small advances out of her own
funds to accommodate them until they
received their pay.
On this. as on other occasions, I par
ticularlv advised Miss Dawson that rs
she was in the employ Of the Depart
ment of Public Instruction it would De

index of grants published in 1887, on
PIP. 103-117.
In August, 1897, L had all the sur
veys OF both church and school sites
made for the government in 1858 cop
led from the originals in the Office of
the Board of Education, into a suita-
BILE book and properly indexed. In
every case where site had been pat
ented the number. etc, of the grant
was recorded. This work was done
partly for convenience of reference and
partly to preserve the surveys of those
lots which had not been patented.
AS many exchanges, purchases and
leases of school lands have been made
since 1858, it is very much to be de-
sired, and has, in fact, often been
proposed, that a thorough examination
be made of all past and present school
sites and of the titles by which they
are held, and that the results be re-
corded in convenient book for refer
ence, by one specially qualified for such
a task. Unfortunately the money re-
CURED for such an investigation has
never been available. I remain,
Yours respectfully,
w. D. ALEXANDER.
