ALASKA 4 TERRITORY

That Alaska is a territory nas already been conceded by the United States supreme court. In the case of the steamer Co., quitiam vs. United States (163 | S, }46) that court decided;
 Alaska is one of the territories of the United States. It was so designated in that order, and has always been so regarded. And the court established by the act of 1881 is the court of last re-
 sort within the limits of that ter ritory. It is, therefore, in every substantial sense the supreme court of that territory. No red son can be suggested why q ter ritOry of the United States, in which the court of last resort is called supreme court, y should be assigned to some circuit es- tablished by congress that does not apply with full force tc the territory of Alaska, in Wht:h the court of last resort is designated the district court of Alaska" "

ton of Poundkeeper. The applica- tions were referred to a committee.
 Discussion followed regarding the appointment of a street commits sioner. There was considerable difference of opinion as to the man ner ill which the work should be supervised, and eventually 1t was resolved that all work should be stopped temporarily, with tue ex- ception of the work on the drain near the schoolhouse.
 Bills for labor on the streets to- talling 75o hours were then read and warrants for same ordered drawn.
 Gardner suggested hat in future wages in this department be cut to So cents per hour.
 An ordinance was next introduc- ed fixing the salaries ot the various officers. ard combining the offices ot clerk, assessor, deputy tax col lector and magistrate
 Callahan doubted the legality ot the ordinance Attorney Dignan was called upon for an opinion ard said that the ordinance was in or der. This did not satisfy Callahan who Is going to seek other advice ill the matter. He moved that it be laid on the table, but the mo- ton was lost.
 The bonds for McCroskey, the collector of polltax, were then passed.
 On the consideration of communi- cations the clerk read the resigna- tion of Chief of Police Kelly. The resignation was accepted, Callahan and Rappolt dissenting.
 Argument followed as to the ap- pointment of a successor to Chi et Kelly and it was eventually agreed that the mayor appoint temporary chief, The mayors selection was ]. E. Chovin.
 Councillor Rappolt next brough, up the question of supplies for the city. He thought that bids should be called for every month and the trade divided.
 Councillor Sabi:i pointed out that the food had to be contracted for al least year ahead to insure regson- able prices.
 Councillor Gardner supported the proposal. He thought that com mittee should go into the whole matter, including the supply Of drugs, etc. This would have the effect of fixing rates.
 The matter was referred to com mittee for consideration and report.
 On the suggestion of Attorney Dignan it was decided to ask repre- sentatives of the N. (. company tc be present at the next meeting SC that he could make suggestions as to the best methods to be adopted for the purpose of fixing rates.
 The meeting then adjourned.

 What is reported as a rich strike has been made over the divide from tine Iditarod, in the Kuskokwim country. The new district is about 60 miles from discovery, Otter. The gold is said to be very coarse and the paystreak is believed to cover a large area.
 The 1ditarod is not to receive the undivided attention of Fair banks people this summer. Quite lot of people are plan ming to go to the Koyukuk as soon as navigation opens, and that region is likely to provide some surprises in the near flu ture.

FlREMEA TO RESIGN

The proposal of the city council to reduce the wages cf the fremen employed by the city does not meet with the approval of the men con- cerned. The whole body of fire men whose wages have been re- duced will immediately resign as protest against the councils action.
The Alaska citizen., 1910-04-30

The weekly meeting of the city council was held at the usual time and place last even ing.
 The minutes of the former meeting were read and adopted and the reports of the commit tees Were then heard.
 Councillor Rappolt Of the ways and means committee said that the committee had gone into the matter of cutting down cXpens- es and the committee did not be lieve that the efficiency would be maintained by reducing salar- ieS Therefore they urged that some of the officers should be dispensed with. It was sug- gested that two patrolmen would be sufficient and that the number of tiremen be reduced. Rappolt pointed out that good men could command good wages and that the present wage was small enough.
 Councillor Callahan supported this view.
 Councillor Gardner said he was not disposed to cut wages if it could be avoided, but such a course was sometimes absolute ly necessary in every business house. He made d comparison with the wages earned by the men on the creeks and the fire men in the city, saying that even Ii the wages were cut, the city employees were still doing well, and if they were not disposed to take cut there were other good men willing to take their posi- tiOnS.
 RappoIt thought that one good man in the fire department would be sufficient if a volunteer fire brigade were organized.
 Callahan objected to the re- ductiOn as he thought it would mean the employment of scab labor, and he never had any sympathy for scabs. He didn't want the city to start scabbing. With the Iditarod stampede in Si"ht the department could get along with less men.
 Councillor Gordon agreed in the main with the previous speakers. Economy was abso- lutely necessary. They had ap- pointed the men, and the reduc- tiOns were not to his thinking so violent or radical as to lead men to resign. He agreed with Mr. Gardner that the tiremen were paid much in excess of others in the city and he would favor a reduction. He didn't think the matter had been sufficiently dis cussed, and thought the matter should be left over.
 Councillor Callahan then read the report of the street commit tee.
 The treasurer's report was then read and referred to the ways and means committee.
 The resignation of Frank Hall from the position of clerk of the school board was read and ac- cepted.

The election In Brazos county yes
terday was one Of the tamest affairs

Colquitt, the democratic nominee for
governor, receive only 74i votes, and
as our representation in the next state
convention will be based on this vote.
we will be entitled TO only two votes.
This is great pity, and the failure Of
the voters to turn out causes the coun-
ty 10 lose prestige.
