While in Seattle the other day
Andrew l.. Christensen, chief OF the
Alaska and field divisions of the in
terror department, was notified OF
new rulings regarding the surveys
of lands in Alaska, under which fish
ing companies have been enabled to
secure water sites without patents.
Under the ruling all rights I'M
der present surveys will cease UNI
less the persons holding them file
with the register and receiver of the
land offices a declaration of proof of
ownership. In making the new rul-
ing the interior department claims
that fisheries companies have sur
veyed valuable landing places and
fishing sites on the Alaskan coast,
holding them under the surveys
without taking out patents, and that,
while actual title was not held by
the companies, they could not be dis
possessed. Surveys will now be can
celled and applications rejected I'M
less the surveys are patented within
sixty days after the survey has been
approved by the government.

The Juneau Dispatch, under

lowing:
lowing to the serious illness of

the visit to Nome, where it was
planned to spend several days. Gov
ernor and Mrs. Clark will take the
steamer at st. Michael and sail di-
rect to Seattle, arriving there about
September 5. 1t will be a great dis
appointment to the governor and
Mrs. Clark that they cannot make
their interior trip complete by spend
ing several days at Nome and vicini-
ty. as had been planned. Word of the
illness of Mrs. Clark and of the en-
forced change in the governors
plans was received last evening by
Secretary Shorthill in telegram

came from Kotlik, a small town at
the mouth of the Yukon river

MANY AVAILABLE LOTS,
BUT FEW BUYERS.

There are TO lots in the Chitina
Townsite. About 20 of them have
been sold. OF the remaining 700,
business lots 30x100, can be had
for from $500 to $3.50. Resi-
dence lots" 5Ox100, not on the
streets where trails have been made
can be had for $50 or less. We
expect these prices to attract many
home seekers and we are not sur
prised that there have been as many
as five new buildings constructed
in Chitina last year. 1t is quite pos
sible that the street work that was
promised the residents when they
bought lots will be done some time
in the next few years. We can't
understand why so many of the peo-
pie who purchased lots here feel
that they were "stung," nor why so
many of the lots are for sale for less
than was first paid for them Chit
ina needs an increased population
and the lower the price of lots the
sooner she will get it. Quite often
we hear people say they would build
if they could get lot at a reason
able price.

NO ADVANCE IN PRICES.

The Chitina Saloons have decid-
ed, for several reasons, not to raise
the price of drinks and cigars. One
of the reasons is that the profit now
made on the stuff is sufficient in the
eyes of the customer. Another reas-
on is that they have decided that
the trouble isn't in the price but is
due largely to the extensive "boot-
Logging that is conducted up the
line. Under normal conditions an
attempt would be made to prevent
this but as things stand the condi-
ton will probably continue.

DOES NOT AGREE
With AMIDON
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK is oP-
POSED TO CAPITAL PUNISH
MENT, BUT WOULD HAVE THE
PRISONER ISOLATED FOR LIFE
SHOULD BE NO HOPE FOR HIM.

New York Times: Governor Dix
does not hold the view of Judge Ami
don in the United States district court
for North Dakota, who recommended
that murderers and other professional
criminals. as well as the hopelessly in
sane be painlessly snuffed out of ex-
istence. This extension of the death
penalty, Judge Amidon thought, would
relieve society of its waste and harmful
products.
Governor Dix is not so cold blooded.
Il have been opposed for years to the
system of capital punishment the
governor said on Monday. He would
take the site at sWingdale for a small
building in which convicted murderers
should be kept for life, completely cut
off from the world.
In every case the prisoner should be
prevented from making application
even to a board of pardons. There
should be absolutely no hope for him.,
said the governor, e~xpatiating upon
the plan. Patrick was a life prisoner;
under the governors new plan he
would remain a life prisoner. Believing
as he does, why did Governor Dix par
don Patrick?
