A bill was introduced in the House yesterday by Speaker Carmichael ap- propriating funds for the publication of the various local measures in each of the counties which they affect. The idea is that there Is general knowl- edge of the provisions of the various general laws passed by the legislators. but that, in many instances, compar- atlvely little attention has been paid to the local bills. It is to provide against any possible lack of Knowledge of these local bills that the measure was presented to have each local law published in the county papers in the county in which it Is effective.

To Repeal Tobacco Tax.

Representative Williams of Barbour county came in early yesterday with a bill repeating the special tobacco tax. The new Revenue Code ppt special tax on tobacco, which had never charged by the State before. In the past a merchants general mercantile incense covered the tobacco end of his business. But the new Revenue Code changed the old law that every mer- chant donig business in an incorporated town or city had to pay the new tobacco license.
 Perhaps this feature of the revenue bill. only a line long, aroused more criticism than any other part of the bill Among the first bills introduced yesterday was one from Representative williams abolishing the tax. He has been assured that the new code makes the change which he proposed. He will, however. follow his bill and closely watch the code to SC that the change is in there.

The Calm Heat and the Bus1Ing Fau

In both House during the early hours of the session electricians were busy installing electric fans. They were stretching wires and hammering on the posts while rolls were called and bills were introduced. Before the fans were started 1t was progressively hot in both chambers. Men who work daily at the Capitol said yesterday was the hottest day at the building in their memory.
 When apy sort of breeze is stirring the Capitol gets a goodly shart of 1t. The oppressive heat of yesterday was more oppressive because of the deadly calm. But when the fans were tacked on to the white columns and when they got to buzzing, the conditions were notably better.

 Its the atmosphere" said Senator Jones. "The atmosphere in the Senate chamber is incomparably better than il was last winter. I couldn't breathe here last winter, but now there Is all the difference in the world"
 It Is suspected that there was some political significance to Senator Jones remarks. He is an old fashioned Demo crat and is not given to running of after every new and noisy idea.

 SMOKING

An extinct volcano, turned active, IS reported in the vicinity of Lynn Canal. Concerning it, the Dispatch of Septem- Der 9, says:
 "The passengers from tho steamer Dolphin fail to confirm the Skagway story of the Haines volcano. The fol- lowing story from the Skagway Alaskan is reproduced for what 1t Is worth:
 The City of Seattle, which arrived in port at 200 this afternoon, brings news of sensational character in regard to last nights earthquake. While passing the southeast end of Sullivan Island, on the west shore of Lynn Canal, Capt. O Brien and officer Taffe noticed black smoke rising from @ mountain peak twenty to twenty-five miles inland. The smoke was first observed at 10 a. n. The yes gel arrived two hours later at Haines and at that place first learned of last nights earthquake. Capt. 0'Brien was the first to see the smoke arising from the mountain, and 1t is his opinion that it was caused by an extinct volcano which has turned active. The moursain from which the smoke comes, according to the ships officers who took observa- tions, Is about 5S deg. 5S min. north, l35 long, 50 min west, and is probably in the same range of mountains as Mount Young and Snow Dome. The fact that ell the peaks in that locality are glacier peaks, gives rise to the belief that an ex- tinct volcano has become active.''

HUNTED WIRELESS"

Recently gentleman was here from Seattle, selling stock in the United Wire less Telegraph Company. The plan he represented was that the people through out the country should own the stock. Shares were held at $l1, and several of our citizens took stock and paid in their money. Others were just preparing to invest by mail, ss the agent had gone, when some one dug up recent number of Success Magazine which roasted" the wireless business, alleging that the companies were frauds, and that stock on the New York exchange could be had at fifteen to thirty cents per share, while agents on the road were attempting to unload it on the pablic at $7.50.
 This article opened the eyes of Wran- gellites who had invested-those who had paid their money to the agent wish ed they had it back, and those who had mailed checks for stock recalled their letters. SENTINEL knows only what was published in Success; but if that be true, it looks like one of the grandest swindling schemes ever foisted upon an unsuspecting public.

Juneau Dispatch :-"Governor Hog gait will, in his annual report to the president, strongly advocate making it a felony to give liquor to Indians. He will follow this up by personal effort to have the recommendation enacted into law at the noxt session of con- sress. Governor Hoggatt will have the active support of every well meaning cit izen of Alaska in securing this change in the code of Alaska. If ever there was a curse-ridden country over & prop- osition is is this territory and the boot legger. This specimen of depraved hu- manity is fast running the Alaskan h. dian to the detriment oi every citizen in it. The present law limiting the sen tence for the offenss to six months in the federal jail in no wise puto to terroy the many um-soaked outcasts who make @ practice of the Indian liquor traffic. They have in the past carried on the selling of liquor to Indians on a gigantic scale. A f5w convictions for felony would soon clear out the proies- sional hooch peddler and put stop to the demornlizing practice" Good for Hoggatt
