HOPES OF ALASKA
ARE IN CONGRESS
Colonel Perkins Regards Iicense
Money Distribution the
Best Law Lately.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Colonel Will
liam T. Perkins Of Nome, who has been
in Washington for ten DAYS urging
Alaska legislation, has left for Seattle,
much encouraged at the outlook for
favorable consideration for the terri
tory at the hands of congress. Colonel
Perkins has argued with members Of
both houses on the line of at least the
same recognition in a legislative way
for Alaska as is accorded Hawaii and
the Philippines, on the ground that
the white men, most Of whom are from
the states, should have more privileges
than the foreign peoples in our nom
contiguous territory. Discussing Alas
ka legislation, past and prospective,
Colonel Perkins said:
The most important measure passed at
this session was the Nelson bill for the
assignment Of moneys collected for licen-
ses in that part of the territory outside
incorporated cities and towns, to the funds
for roads, schools and care of the insane.
Senator Nelson, who has been active in
pushing Alaskan legislation, put this
bill thru the senate last session, and when
it came back from the house with minor
amendments. he secured the senate's con-
sent to them, so that all that remained tc
be done was to send it to the president
for signature. Congressman Cushman OF
Washington was the active agent in put.
ting this bill thru the house.
Distribution of Funds.
| BY the terms of the measure, on the
| basis Of the license money collected las
year, $4,000 will go to the road fund
| SOS, 900 to the territorial school fund ant
$4,000 to the fund for the care of the in
sane. 1t is expected that there will b,
an increase in the amount of money col
lected for licenses from year to year, an(
| the various funds will be increased in pro
| portion.
Summing up my rather brief observation
is a growing disposition in both houses t.
fifty recognize our great territory in
legislative way. :
Alaska for Alaskans.
I am somewhat disappointed that tn,
president has not seen fit to appoint Alas
kans to the judicial offices recently mad,
vacant by resignation and removal of in
cumbents. The president has said pub
! licly and privately that he would pu
! home rule in operation for Alaska, a
| least in filing it's federal offices, but il
filling the last two vacancies he has seer
fit to go outside for his appointees. Tn
last two administrations have had sucl
poor luck with men appointed from out
side that it is surprising that he has no
seen fit to try some of our own people
I believe If he would there would be clea1
administration of the government ser
vice in all its branches.
Colonel Perkins said that he appre
ciated the efforts Of his friends to lane
him in the office of marshal at Nome
but that he was not a candidate fol
that office. He was an active candi
date for the governorship, but whe1
the president saw fit to reappoint Gov
ernor Brady, he abandoned his quest
for office.

THE NETHERLANDS HAS GRIEV-

49, AGAINST VENEZUELA.
PRESS INSISTS ON VIGOROUS ACTION
MATTER LIKELY TO BE TAKEN
UP WHEN FRENCH DISPUTE
HAS BEEN SETTLED.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The acute
situation between France and Ven
eZuela has for some time past dis
tracted attention from the quarreIs
which the Venezuelan government al
ready had on hand with her neigh
bors. Some diplomats here familiar
with the conditions in that part Of
South America feel that in the near
future other trouble may be expected
and that some day the trouble be-
tween The Netherlands and Venezuela
may be renewed, possibly leading to
an outbreak between the two coun-
tries. The chief complaint of The
Netherlands government is the way in
which the Venezuelan customshouse
It is alleged that many times without
due cause the customs officers bring
Dutch ships to their ports and keep
the crew practically prisoners. The
Venezuelan government on it's side
has made several complaints about
SAAS o1AhooSAiAS u ouC "l1SlA 10 hCpI o1l
from Curacao into the harbors of Ven
eZuela and which consists chiefly of
firearms. For the last thirty years
there has been a law in Curacao for
bidding the expectation Of firearms,
but the large colony of Venezuelan
political eXiles, who come to the isl,
and to be near their old home and
still be free to make new plots against
President Castro, make it extremely
difficult for the Dutch authorities to
enforce that law.
From both sides protests have been
made, but it is charged the Venezu.
elan government has followed the
same course as in most Of its diplo
matte enterprises and the Dutch de.
mands have never been fully an.
swered.
The Dutch newspapers have begun
to insist upon more vigorous action by
their government and it is felt here
that after the French matter has been
settled this will probably be the next
trouble in the Caribbean sea.

NUMBER Still KISSING.
List Of Wrecked Steamers May Not
Be Complete.

Duluth, Dec. 1.-The net results of
the great storm as far as known are
the total wrecks of the steamers Ma
taafa, Crescent City, Edenborn and
Lafayette, the sinking OF the Elwood
in Duluth harbor, the stranding Of the
barge Manila and the steamer w. B.
England, the stranding of the Brans-
ford at Isle Royale and two barges
missing, the Madeira and Constitu-
tion
A tug is now out searching for the
Madeira, one of the Steel corporation
boats not accounted for. She was in
tow of the Edenborn, which is ashore
at Split Rock, and is undoubtedly lost.
The big steamer w. E. Corey is now
the only Steel corporation boat unac-
counted for. She was due at Two
Harborsp at midnight Tuesday, which
means that she must have been ex-
posed to the storm Of Tuesday.
President Howard Coulby of the
Steel corporation feet is in consulta-
tion with several of the company's
officers and they are mapping out
plans for the saving of the wrecked
vessels.

LOOPING OFF MANY HEADS,
Secretary Root to Improve Diplomatic

Secretary Root to Improve Diplomatic
and Consular Service.
Chicago, Dec. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Secretary Roots knife is busily en-.
gagged in looping off the heads Of diplo
matte officers and consuls who are not
efficient. It is estimated that at least
100 persons, who for various reasons
are unfit to represent the United States
abroad, will be invited to tender their
resignations- Bright American young
men will be named in their stead.
The foreign affairs of the govern
ment have attained such a tremendous
Importance and proportion that q small
army is required to give them atten
ton. The diplomatic service is grow
ing larger every year. The consular
service is in need of reorganization
and in some cases of expansion, as
result of the enormous extent of Amer
lean commerce and the need of fur.
nishing our exporters with information
as to markets abroad and methods of
business of European and Asiatic COM
petitors There is no legislation BY
which abuses may be eradicated, but
the president and secretary of state
by the character of the appointm ents
they may make, are in a position to
bring the two services to a high state
Of efficiency.

Patterson WILL APPEAL.
Colorado Senator Fined $1,000 for Con
ternpt Of Court


tempt of Court.
Denver, Dec. 1.-Just before he
was fined $1,000 for contempt Of court
United States Senator Thomas NJ. Pat.
terson, owner of the News and Times,
shook his finger at the chief justice
and declared in the most positive
terms that the articles alleged to be
contemptuous were true in their en-.
tirety.
Chief Justice Gabbert sentenced
Senator Patterson to pay fine OF
$1,000 and to stand committed until
it was paid. Senator Patterson's coun-
sci, however, took an appeal to the
United States supreme court and the
fine was suspended six months in or
der TO permit an appeal.
The contempt cases grew out of the
recent election decision, when the
supreme court decided that the county
officers chosen at last falls election
were not entitled to seats. The court
then ordered that the Republican can.
didates who had received the next
highest number of votes be seated. In
the News Senator Patterson printed a
cartoon showing Chief Justice Gabbert
as lord high executioner beheading
Sheriff Hamilton Armstrong. Edi-
tOrials in both Times and News were
also alleged to be contemDtuous.

GREAT ALARM AT ODESSA.
People Dread Arrival of Mutinou
Warships.

London, Dec. 1.-Private advices
received in London from Odessa tell
OF most interesting situation there
While there is no disturbance al
Odessa the inhabitants are in dread OF
the arrival of one or more of the mu
tinous Warships from SebastopOl and
are preparing to flee on sighting these
vessels. AS to the actual happenings
at Sebastopol the people of Odessa are
ignorant, but rumors of all kinds are
af1oat. The English employees Of the
British telegraph Office remain at thei1
keys, but as there is no way of de
livering the kilograms received and
people are not permitted to approach
the telegraph office to send dispatches
the operators have nothing to do. All
the Russian employees of the post
Office, in which the British teleg
raphers are accommodated, are OH

by troops. The foreign operators pass
between the Office and their homes
unmOlested, but the Russian admin
1stration declines to receive or de

Humboldt to
Be Reclaimed

The first step toward outlining
the great Humboldt valley re-
clamatlon prospect, in which
many millions will be spent and
over 800, 900 acres of land re-
claimed, will be taken on Sep
tember /, when Engineer Taylor
will place corps of engineers in
the field to make a reconnaissance
of the entire valley and deter
mine the best manner in which
to lay out a comprehensive irri-
Cation system.
The work of this party VIII be
passed upon some time next year
and later a large force of ell
gineers will be put in the field to
spend several years in studying
the problems that must be solv-
ed and the mapping of the
country. The active construc-
tion is expected to follow this.
The Humboldt valley irriga-
tion scheme which has been re-
ferred to before is one OF the
largest that has ever come to the
attention of the Interior Depart
ment. There are approximately
three million acres Of agriculture
al lands along the stream, but on
account of the lack of water only
about half of this can be irrigat-
/ ed. At present there is sufli-
cient water in the river to sup
iply many hundred thousand
acres more than is now supplied
but owing to its unequal division
and improper storage methods.
+much of it is wasted.
The lands affected reach from
the western part of Humboldt
county to the central part of FL
! ko. distance Of over three hun
dred miles.

DEBAUCH ENDS IN DEATH
Alcoholic Poisoning Causes Death
of Vim. NOey

William Noey, native OF Corn
wall, England, who for more than
IL third of a century has followed
mining in the different states and
territories of the Pacific coast,
died at the Riepe hotel Saturday
morning at | O'Clock from the
effects of alcoholic poisoning and
was buried Saturday afternoon
in the cemetery east of town.
The old miner came to Ely last
December from Frisco, Utah, and
had been in the employ OF h. A..
Riepe at his mines almost con-
tinually since his arrival in
camp. He was quiet, orderly
old gentleman, and even while
under the influence Of liquor
never obtruded upon anyone,
His funeral, in some respects,
was the Saddest ever witnessed
in Ely-but four persons accom-
panied the remains to the Gem
etery.
