. fined in u we'll for so years and were
still frisky when taken from the

LEWIS TELLS
 ABOUT WORK Seward Mass Meeting Not as Represented in the Seattle
 Times.

w. J. Lewis, the agent for tn. land office, against whom some Of the residents of Seward pass "d resolutions objecting to his methods in the handling of his department, is now in town and to a r"presrntdliv of the Prospect or said: Tt is true that the people of Seward met and pasS- cd resolutions, but it is not true as stated in the Seattle Times hat l was condemned, nor is there any great difference of opinion between the people of Seward and myself in the mat ter of the enforcement of the law, but to those whose inter esLs have been hurt by the op- crations of the law, considerable "pp"siiion has manifested it. : self.
 'I."t m" explain the nature and object of the timber laws and regulations. In the first place, any resident of Alaska can cut or have cut 60 cords of wood, or 3n,0O0 feet Of lumber, or part wood and part lumber, without any interference from the gov "rnment. This is supposed tu be all any one person will need. If it iS not then it should be raised.
 Men may ga in tlIe business and sell wood, but they must cut under a permit granted them by the land department. The reason of this provision is that the government wish to have the cutting of wood to follow some reasonable rules and regulations. For instance, they do not wish saw logs cut and sold for fire wood because saw timber is scarce in this country, nor do they wish to have good timber wood cut and left on the ground to rot.
 'It has. been said by many that all tha waste in Alaska does not compare with the drop of Wa ter in the sea, but unfortunately the waste is all near towns and the most accessible places are ruined by indiscriminatc meth ods, to the loss Of all.
 ''N" interference has ever been made by the land depart ment with the use of timber for the development nf Hlining prop crIy and it is not the policy of our department ttO hinder, but it is rather our aim tO aid in iiI" d. vel"pmrnt Uf the natural l r"SnurrrS of the cOuntry.'
