Land Surveys.

To encourage and aid settle ment of the agricultural lands of Alaska, we recommend that the public land surveys be extended to the territory. At this time the expense of the private sur vcy of homestead is SO great as to be burden to the home stcader, and operates to prohibit any extensive settlement of agri- cultural lands by homesteadcrs.
 Mineral Lands.
 We are opposed to any change in the mineral land laws appli- cable to Alaska which would stiff ne individual effort. We therefore condemn any and every legisla- tivee proposal to retain title in the government to the mctallifer- ons deposits of Alaska, and make tenants of the miners and pros pect6rs whose independence and daring alone make possible any development of these resources. Such n policy enacted into law would banish miners from Alas ka and practically dcpopulatc the territory.
 We respectfully, submit that the foregoing recomnhendations are all of interest to the nation. and especially to the citizens of Alas ka; that past errors and delays committed and omitted by Alas kans and by the legislative and other departments of the United States government, have been the cause of waste of Alaska resour- ces, and have In a measure de-

Too Bad for the Kids.

The children of the town have been
enjoying the cement walks more than
anyone having converted them into an
extended roller skating rink and they
had lots of fun out of it but last Satur-
day the city dads found it necessary to
interfere with the kiddies sport, and
as a result Marshall Quinn notified the
youngsters that they would have to lay
aside their skates until some other rink
than the sidewalks was provided.
This is too bad for the kids but they
had a good long season for skating and
lots of fun out of it and, while we like
to see the children get all that's COM
ing to them in the way of fun, it was
quite annoying to try to attend to bus
mess amid the clatter that fifteen or
twenty youngsters with their steel
roller skates and shrill boisterous
voices kept up just outside the door on
the cement walks.
