w. T. Lopp, recently appointed to take charge of the Alaskan reindeer service, has started for Alaska where he will cooperate with Superintendent of Education Updegraff, recently ap- pointed to take the place of Sheldon Jackson, in the management of Alas; kan schools. It. is proposed to elimin- ate the practices which have brought the Jackson administration into dis repute.
 The Alaska Steamship Company's Iroquois arrived at Seattle from the Atlantic March 30th. She made the trip from New York in 54 days sailing time After being made an oil burner she will be placed on the Seattle-Vic- toria run. The Iroquois is 227 feet long, 45 feet in beam and IS feet deep. She was in the passenger trade on the great lakes before passing into the hands of present owners.
 At the term of court just finished here 32 civil cases were continued, re- ferred and dismissed, while l2 were tried. This leaves the docket in prac- tically the same condition as it was before, there being 15 cases not touch ed, two criminal cases continued, two dismissed because the witnesses had scattered so no case could be made against the accused Isn't this a strong argument in favor of division of the district? No judge can come here once every year or two years and ex- pect to clear up the docket in two weeks.-Valdez Prospector.
 Was an Unworth Son.-A letter from the mother of Jack Leaver, the man who was killed here last winter, to chief of police Detlefson, unwittingly reveals the story of an undutiful son and neglected, though loving, mother It appears that after the shooting some of the murdered mans friends and in- inmates made up sum of money and sent it to the mother, in Ottawa, Cap- ada; the letter is in acknowledgment of it's receipt. In it she says: "Poor Jack never sent me a cent, 1 suppose be- cause he hadn't it, when heard of his death, it was the first news 1 had from him for over a year. When l got that telegram my poor old heart was broken, as he was my only hope, and expected him to come home some day and take care of me, because he knew that had to work hard to raise him. He left ] Ottawa ten years ago, and since then l have had but five letters from him. Your telegram telling me of his death has wrecked my poor old life, which has never had day of pleasure" The letter closes with an appeal for some article of the murdered mans apparel to be sent to her, even If nothing more than collar or necktie. son who could be SO wholly careless and neglectful of the mother who bore him, was hardly deserving of the sympathy so freely manifested over the "deep damnat1on of his final taking off," It is impossible that any man in Alaska, in good health, and having none other than poor old mother dependent upon him for support, cannot if his heart is in the right place, send at least a small part of that earnings to that mother, or at least find the time to write her oftener than once every two years.--Ketchikan Miner.

It is announced from Washington

It is announced from Washington that Harlan Updegraff, of Iowa, has been appointed assistant commissioner of education, and that as such he will virtually succeed Sheldon Jackson as educational agent for Alaska. He will spend his summers in Alaska (while the schools are not supposed to be in session. and bis winters in Washing ton. Now, if the powers that be will dispose of that other Uriah Heep who is the ostensible superintendent of schools for Southeastern Alaska, the educational cause in Alaska will not be the least part sufferer It is high time he should have the government teat taken from him, whether or not he is capable of earning an honest living in some legitimate calling.-Ketchikan Daily Miner.
 The cartoonist seldom turns his at tentiou to Alaska, but the Nome News employs an artist who touches the sore spots with caustic. A recent effort entitled: "Will Alaska receive her Val entine-Territoria Government" is worth framing. It depicts President Roosevelt as the keeper of the "Gov- ernment Confectionery" At the door stands the boy "Trusts" filled with the sweets, and the little girl Alaska point ing to the stick of candy marked "Ter- ritorial Government" pleads to Uncle Sam: "If 'ou will get that for me I'll be your valentine" Waskey, a lad in short pants, adds his petition, "Ah! get it for her, Uncle. Don't be so stingy." Gale says, "She will not be satisfied until she gets it." But Gov. Hoggatt, pigeon.toed and round faced, on whose head rest the paternal hand of "Teddy," files his objection, "Don't you do it Uncle, it will make her sick"
 Gov. Hoggatt, of Alaska, who has been in Seattle for the past three days, leaves for Juneau this evening on the Jefferson. He has been busy ever since he arrived Sunday shaking hands with the crowd of Northerners now in the city. His recent utterances, ln which he expressed the belief that the territorial government movement for Alaska was dead issue, have caused some discussion among the Alaska men and citizens at Seattle who are interested in the North. When asked what he considered the ideal form of government for Alaska, Gov. Hoggatt said: "I believe Alaska is at the pres ent time operated under the most nearly ideal plan available. We re- ceive much financial help from the national government, and when there is crime committed, the government goes much farther to apprehend the offender than we, as full fedged ter ritory, ,,could ever do. However, l am glad to say tbat Alaska is fast becom- ing very orderly place. We have very little crime now, and the gambling element is becoming distinctly in dis favor. In Nome many of the gambling houses have been closed down, and this policy is to be followed in other settlements. One of the chief objects in the mind of some who are cry ing for territorial government is to secure in this way reduction of the liquor license. At present this license ranges from $500 to s1,5oo, and is going to remain at that as long as I can keep ] it there."--P.-L

 It seems strange even yet to read in our exchanges from the North that MT. so and so and wife and two child ren arrived by dog team from their home.
 Congressman Humphrey, of Wash ington, who took such a vital interest in the Alaska game laws, during the last session of congress, has headed for Kodiak on killing expedition.
 It is perfectly safe to assert that Ketchikan's mosquito fleet is larger than that of any other port in Alaska. The wonder is where all the boats come from.-Ketchikan Miner.
 The Atlin branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce will be closed April 25th. All the accounts and deposits remaining in the bank on that date will be transferred to it's Skagway branch.
 The battalion of the Tenth infantry which has been stationed at Honolulu has been ordered to join the regiment in Alaska. That will make all the posts in the North two company posts.
 An Alaska miner found feeding his money to the birds at Seattle was thought to be insane, by some people who were evidently not aware that that is what becomes of much of the Alaska miners money.
 Lewis Brown, one of the oldest resi- dents of the Prince William Sound country, died on the launch Hammond as he was being taken to Valdez for medical treatment. The body was buried at Ellamar.
 Frank Wheeler, hanger on of saloons that would tolerate him, which in no instance was for very long and who came here from Juneau for the second time, not long ago, skipped out on the Humboldt Monday morning, and was followed the next day by a cablegram which caused his arrest when the ship arrived at Juneau, on a charge of having robbed a half-breed native boy of SloO in money.-Ketchi- kan Daily Miner.
