.ALLDS's FIGHT TO STAY.
He's Trying to Reapportion Delaware
County Out OF His District.

county Uut vi MS bis'iic''
ALBANY, March 27.-Many upstate Re-
publican Senators are worrying consider
ably over the reapportionment OF the Senate
districts, especially where there is more
than one county in a district. In many
of the rural Senate districts the Senatorial
nomination is given out with the under
standing that it shall go first to one county
and then to another. This is the case with
the Senate district represented by Senator
lothian Pathfinder Aids. Under the Sc,
ouence Of events Senator Allds's political
lie would cease as an oficeholder in the
Legislature this year, The man from
Chenango has been a public servant so long
now that he does not relish the idea of
having to go back to practising law;
of Senator Allds's life to be able to frame
up the reapportionment for his Senatorial
district so that he will be the man who
will be the Senator. Delaware county,
which is a part Of the district, is entitled
to the Senatorial nomination this year,
and now Senator Aids is doing his utmost
TO shift that county into another district.

would find the dynamite about eight inches
from the surface between the two stones.
The police officers noticed several groups
of rocks answering Moran's description
and they fell to with a shovel but did not
dig up the eXpl osive.
While they were at work the owner Of
the property came along and wanted to

Africa and a guarantee that his wife and
children would be provided for If he made
these charges against the union. The
union does not stand for violence by dyna-
mite or destruction of property by this or
any other means. 1t is not in any way re-
sponsible for the acts of Moran and his
comrades, In spite Of his alleged confession.
This is simply another attempt to discredit

THE GOVERNORS RECEPTION

The general committee in charge of the arrangements for the Reception, to be given to Governor Hoggatt at Tread we'll upon his return to Alaska, met last Thursday evening at the Chamber of Commerce rooms at Juneau. Every part of the plan is working nicely. The citizens of these three towns have been liberal in their subscriptions to the eX- pense fund and large sum is in the hands of Treasurer Behrends. It was decided at this meeting to make the invitation general to everybody ex- cept children under fourteen years. It is expected that the "big thing" will come off on Thursday evening, April 26, although the date will not be deh- nitely settled until the Governor is heard from.

PHONE NO. t2.
PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY,

The efforts of Congressman William
 sulzer to secure an appropriation for the erection of public building at Ju- neau. is in line with the other legisla- tion for Alaska which that gentleman advocates, and shows that he clearly understands the situation. It may be argued by some that with the develop ment of other parts of the district will come the necessity for the removal of the capital to some city to the west or north. When anyone of these cities
 which spring up in q night and some times fade as quickly-shows indica- lions of permanence, and it be located near the geographical center of the dis trict, such will no doubt be the logical solution of the problem. MT. Sulzer understands that the permanence ot Juneau, is based upon the wealth con- tained in immense lodges of mineraliz- ed quartz that will maintain their i'm portance long after the present genera tion and the works of their hands shall have past away and crumbled into dust. The need for such building, which is so plain today, will not be less in all the years to come. Juneau is not "boom" town, built on wild specula' tion or the dream of prospective ac- complishment. On tbe other hand, her establishments have every qualitica- tion necessary to permanence. She has weathered the storm of the stam- pede days. without loss, and the erec- tion of building there by the federal government can only be considered a manifestation of good business sense.

During the campaign which preceded the recent municipal election in Doug las. some active partisan unearthed the fact that a quantity of asbestus, bought for the Douglas School house, had never been used. The most that can be sad of the matter is, that we wonder what that had to do with the election. During the first year after the town of Douglas was incorporated, the school house that now ornaments the city, was built. By mistake, a quantity of asbestus pipe covering was ordered through the Treadwen Store. When it came it was not needed for the purpose for which it was intended and was left in storage on the Treadwell wharf. The bill, of course, was paid, as it should have been. It was simply acostly, but unavoidable mistake, and it happened four years ago. However, the Juneau papers, prone as they areto dabble in Douglas matters to the dis gust of all parties concerned, rolled 1t over as a sweet morsel. But few Doug las people paid any attention to it. Those who cared to keep posted on such things knew all about it at the time, and then realized that even men with the best intentions are liable to err in judgement or make mis stakes. ln school matters Douglas people are not looking backward, bat forward, and they expect the members of the new school board to profit by the experi, ence of their predecessors, and early secure the services of thoroughly competent person to take charge ot and sUperintend the school work in this city.

NO PROSECUTION YET.
Against Insurance Companies Which
Were Recently Probed

New York, ain 1T.-The unofficial
but positive announcement has been
made that State Attorney General May
er has consented to postpone any pro-
posed legal action he might have in
mind against The Mutual Life Insurance
company, the New York Life Insurance
company and several other companies
whose affairs were probed BY the legis-
lative insurance investigating committee
until the so-called house cleaning COM
mittee within the companies have fin
ished their tasks and the character Of
the reforms put into force BY them Is
known.
1t was further stated that Attorney
General Mayer had conferred with Gov
ernor Higgins in Albany regarding the
matter and the governor had agreed to
the course of action proposed. 1t is
said that If Mr.. Mayer is not thoroughly
satisfied with the work Of the several
house cleaning committees, he will pro-
ceed with The suits against the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance society, brought some
time ago, as guide for other actions.
The attorney general is said to have
been actuated by the hope that the rel
suits sought to be obtained through le-
nal proceedings, the restoration of funds
alleged 10 have been niisappyopfiated,
ETC., might more speedily be secured
through the action Of the companies
themselves rather than wait upon tile
tedious delays Of the courts.
