A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION

The agitation over the question ot taxing placer mining claims is prac- tical demonstration of the need ot legislature, composed of people from All sections of our district and holding it's uessions within reach of our people, to make our laws. As long as the laws of Alaska are made at Washington, from 4,OOO to 5000 miles from the in' habited portions of this district, so long will every industry and every bus mess interest in the district be in jep- ardy. All this talk about the rule of politicians and outside influences will be in vain until the powers of govern ment shall have been placed in the hands of the people who know how they should be used.
 Even the most vigilant delegate in congress will be unable to protect everybody. He will be long way oil and he might very easily be duped by men looking for special favors or by those whose motives are good, but who possess poor judgment or lack knowledge.
 The industries and business interests of Alaska have become too great and too complex to submit them to the care of those who are ignorant. LegIsla- tion strikes too closely at the root of things to have it made by men who arc not informed and who suffer not when bad laws are enacted.
 Alaska needs 8 local legislature far more than does any of the older states where conditions have b-come settled and where new matters seldom arise. The most practical men in this district and those of the widest experience here do not know too much to qualify them to be lawmakers for the people who are developing this country and who are making prscedents and meet ing new conditions every day.

LET LACEY BILL STAND

Notwithstanding the action ot the re- cent Alaskan convention, the efforts ot those who would change the provisions of the Lacey bi so that the payment of sn annual s25-tax for road purposes would suffice to hold a mining claim are being directed more in the interest ot promo,ers who are seeking to float big companies than for the purpose ot developing the district. The La cey bill now provides for the annual s25-road tax and assessment work on each claim to the value Of SI5' The requirement. is none too harsh. Large investments in hydraulic com panies are good things for Alaska, but It should not be made too easy for stock selling companies to hold property for years st small expense without deveI- oping it.

Fratricide seems the probable re-
suit Of a quarrel and a fight between
Ivan Goodwin and John Goodwin
Monday night at the home of Cur
It's Hornor, on Boards Run, near
yTyrconnell. They are sons of Jas
Goodwin, well known and highly
respected citizen and themselves OF
good standing in their community
John lies at the point of death
and Ivan Is the one that inflicted
the injury. Hornor is a neighbor
and they had been visiting him. \
dispute arose which reached the
point of anger and Ivan hurled
stone at john, striking him in the
ear. The blow felled him and rem
dered him unconscious. He was
taken to the Goodwin home and DR..
Peek, of Bridgeport, was summoned.
All efforts to restore him to con-
seriousness have proved futile and
death is in all probability a matter
of only few hours.
The injured man is past his ma
Jority. The other brother is older,
being about 50. Both are single
and resided at the home of their
parents.
