AN IMPORTANT BILL

One of the bills pending in congress that is important to Alaskans is that introduced by Congressman Lacy, ot Iowa, encouraging road building in Alaska. The bill provides that out of the hundred dollars now provided by statute to be expended annually in as' sessmeut work ou mining claims, twen- ty-fve dollars may le expended in et- thsr cash or iu labor ou highways roads or trails in the district in which the claims are situated. The money paid in cash to the district recorder, i5 is provided, shall be under the direc- tion and control of the Alaska road commissioners and shall be expended iu the district in opening and improv- ing highways, roads and trails.
 It is believed, should the bill become a law, it will not only have oen'ncial effect upon Alaskan roads and trails, but that it will have tendency to check the too common practice of false certifcatiou as to the performance Of assessment work. Under existing con- diGions many people hold claims from year to year without any more labor than that required to prepare a acertih- cate certifying that the assessment work had been performed and without any expense save that necessary to have that certificate recorded. This is an evil from which the Nome people sought to escape when they proposed that an annual cash payment of S25 for road purposes be required from each claimant of placer ground. If man were required to pay S25 or show cer- tiicate from 8 duly authorized officer, certifying that he had performed or caused to be performed work to that amount on a public road, ia addition 10 the certificate as to the performance of assessment work, it would be more difficult for the ba;chet and lead pencil prespector to hold iunumerable claims in different parts of the district than it Is at the present time.

This is Jackson's Day. Ntnety-one years ago on this very day, down a' New Orleans, "Generl Andy" Jackson showed the flower of a victorious European army of what kind of stuf American pioneers and Iuiuu fighters were made, and in so doing he turned an undecisive war into one in which the .honors, except those attaching to the peace treaty, were with the new re- public. In honor Of the political career of the hero of New Orleans, made subsequent to the War of 1872, there will be many celebrations throughout the country tonight, at which members of the democratic par ty will tell anew of the virtues and democracy of Jackson.

WIN CUP ChalleDgers Get Famous Kern
 Bowling Trophy

W. W. Ward, E. NJ. Mcintyre and Ed. Barry won the Kern bowling trophy Saturday afternoon, winning two of the four games played, thus giving them their eigth victory at the end of the 18th game bowled. In all but one of the series of games played they proved their prowess by coming out ahead.
 J. E. Barragar, E. A. Murphy and W. B. King who won the cup year ago in a tournament with four other teams and who successfully defended It against challenging team last month, made game fight. They really made more pins than their opponents in the contest but they were so distributed that the games stood s to against them,
 It is understood that another team will challenge the winners at once snd that another tournament will be on within the week.
 The record of the four games boWled Saturday afternoon Is as follows:

AGENTS CHIEF FIGHTERS,
Talk of Insurance Lobby-Hint at
Using VOteS as Clubs
rBv Telegraph to The tribune.

Albany March 12-From all indications here,
the real opposition TO tn insurance reform bills
that opposition which is likely to do most harm.
is coming not from the companies themselves
but from the agents, who fear they are to be
deprived of a livelihood Information is coming
to members of the Armstrong committee that
the agents throughout the state are planning
for battle against the measure as whole, in
the hope of forcing compromise in their favor
ON the one or two points to which they object.
The $1,000 agents in the state. Timothy l..
Woodruff was careful 10 inform the committee
al the hea ring last week. have votes. They
seem likely TO use them TO further their cause.
At least. they hint that they will vote against
the reelection of any one who opposes their
desire 10 remove the provision limiting the ex-
.penses of new business
In connection with the prospective action of
the agents there has been renewal Of the
talk of a lobby to defeat the bills. The agents
already are on record as denying that they have
any intention of using ilegitmate means TO
change the measures but current talk credits
them with the power of putting to work an
influential force to defeat the bills
The impression produced by the companies on
members of the committee at the hearing
Friday was not powerful as their representa-
tives evidently expected Members Of the COM
n1ittee to-day expressed doubt as 10 any serious
changes in the bills except. already pointed
out in The Tribune. a possible modification of
the provisions relative 10 expenses Of business
and contingency reserve.
Governor Higgins to-day expressed much sat
isfacton at the bills and their general accept
by the insurance people. He declared that
their progress had been somewhat slower than
he desired. II is known here that the Governor
urgently desires the speedy passage of the in
sUrance bills, and stands ready, if necessary. TO
help along their course. He said tonight that
he had chosen no superintendent of insurance
yet, because he could find available no man who
would take the place under existing conditions
When the superintendent is chosen he will be
one who will bring to the place a knowledge of
insurance conditions, If not actually technical
insurance knowledge and will give his entire
attention TO the carrying out Of the reforms pro-
vided for in the Armstrong bills.

Alderman Meyers who introduced the resolution,
