 Bishop r. T. Rowe. of the Episco- pal diocese Of Alaska has been in Washington off and on since congress convened and has made several ap- pearances before the committee in an effort to have created some Indian reservations in Alaska As about ss per cent of the territory already has been reserved by the forestry depart ment. the bishops efforts have not been meeting with very brilliant sue cess. However. through an arrange ment with W. T. Lopp. Capt. F. r. Bertholf. and others it Is believed that the condition of the natives in Alaska will be ameliorated through the burea u of education.
 There Is considerable dissention tn in. democratic ranks over the Alaska seal question. Congressman sulzeTs bill provides that the United States government shall kill of all of the surplus male bachelors-amongst the seal herd-and sell the skins on the London market tuning the money de- for deyelopment purposes fin Alaska. rived therefrom into a fund Co be useo Part of the democrats contend that the slaughter of those bachelors Will contend to increase the herd. while others believe that an absolute sus- pension Of killing for a period of ten years such as was adopted by the Russians. will bring the herd back to the magnificent proportions thai " enjoyed in its early history.
 The scientists are for Sulzer's method, but those who oppose it say that it is impossible for science to I'm prove on nature. Sulzer however hap pens to be chairman of the committee before which the bill came for con- sideration and he forced the bill on to the calendar for passage despite the opposition of his conferes The bill will be considered by the house two weeks hence. and unless provi- dence intervenes-something which we hope will not occur-the bill will he enacted into a law.

 County Assessor

Fort Payne, September 12.-(Special.) The tax books for DeKalb county for the year 1912 have just beeen completed by County Tax Assessor N. T. flaw kins and shows that the amount of taxes, including all raises and addi- tional assessments, will be $7l,063.27, the total tax value of property in De- Kalb being s5,o76, ,3O5, this value includ- ing both real and personal.
 At the suggestion of the state board of tax commissioners. the court of county commissioners, together with IS. Brown Lloyd, back tax commissioner, has raised the tax valuation In DeKalb county over $200,000. this amount, lack ing about s50,000, coming up to the amount requested to be raised by the state board.
 Raises were made on about 5000 in- idividuals in the county, and nearly all of the raises were small. DeKalb, as a rule, usually gives a fair assessment on all property, and 1t is not often found necessary to raise so many as was done this time, but owing to the deficit in the state treasury the state board thought best to make the raises.
