Government Seizes Cordwood and Piles at Seward Cut on the
 Public Domain

Depletion of .AlaSka'> timber supply is going 10 be stopped by desperate measures if the federal government has lO neglect other business to plug the leak. A mo- lice posted on the interior wall of Inc Seward p0stOffice informs II. ". Hnbcn, that Uncle sam has seized 75 cords of wood cut for him, alleging that il was cut on hr public domain instead of on adjacent land. P. J. Murphy iS similarly notified that lio piles cut by him have been SriZrd by Inc government.
 This is the result of Inc brncti- cent laws governing Alaska, which forbid a settler 10 cut timber for his own use that will rot and go to waste if Jlc doesn't cut it. The government spends more money annually in holding up settlers for the official price of a little wood than it gets out of all the stump age cut. Meanwhile more timber is falling to decay than is used for all purposes. Great is the wisdom of the East.

Report of Commercial.

Col. Judson said that the report of
the Commercial showed that although
addition to the $4,000 surplus in hand
December 81, 1911, $4,000 had been
taken in by the company in premiums
during the next ten months, October
81, 1912, found only about $2,7OO left
of this amount, to which there had
been added the $226.5OO as its share of
the increased valuation of 1853 900
placed on the property purchased four
days before. Deducting necessary ex-
penses such as commissions to agents,
Commissioner 5udson commended that
this indicated a loss of about $4,000
in the years business.
Despite this condition, he pointed
out, the stock was to be raised to Sl2
a share, prospective purchasers being
told in the resolution passed by the
directors that the excessive prosperity
of the company and their ability to in
vest the money paid in for capital
stock, justified this advance. Colonel
Judson claimed that the company could
not pay a dividend on this rate without
impairing the capital. He indicated
his belief that dividends were being
paid out of stock returns and out of
existing surplus.
Representative johnson asked Col Jud-
son to what extent he held Ingham re-
spensible for this condition. Judson re-
