SEATTLE NEWSPAPER MAN
 IS VISITOR TO ALASKA

Joseph w. Gilbert, city editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for the last two years, is a round trip passenger on the Alameda. Mir. Gilbert is one of the best known and most talented newspapermen in the metropolis of Puget Sound. In addition to his work as newspaper man, MT Gilbert has found time to devote to literature. He is one of the best writers of frontier stories. His "Col Kirby, of Butte" is becoming known as one of the really good characters in mining camp fiction, comparably without discredit to his creater, with Alfred H. Lewis "Old Cattleman," of "Wolfville."
 Mir Gilbert is making his first trip to Alaska, and, to use his own words, he is finishing a Western education as we'll as taking a rest" He has be- come much impressed with Alaska's capital city, and thinks it is sure to become one of the notable cities of the West.

FAMOUS LOS ANGELES
 LAWYER IN ALASKA

Among the passengers on the Ala m da is Earl Rogers and Mrs. Rogers, of Los Angeles. They are taking a pl, asure and rest trip to Alaska. MT. Rogers is probably the best known tr.al lawyer of California. He was oh eff counsel for Patrick Calhoun and his associates in the San Francisco traction bribery cases in which he sue cessfully fought Francis J. Heney, the ia nous prosecutor of the land fraud cases and the attorney for the San Francisco league of business men that re oted out the grafters that had gained control of the California me tropolis during the regime of former Mayor Eugene Schmitd and Abe Ruef.
 Rogers was also attorney for Clar' ence G. Darrow in his two trials on charges connected with the McNamara bribery scandal. In the last of these trials he collapsed, and since that time he has been i'll. As a remedy. he purchased round trip tickets for himself and wife to Alas ka, and. directing that no telegrams or mail should be permitted to reach them, he sailed for the North. His health has improved greatly since he left Los Angeles.

Senator B. F. Willard, of Valdez, passed through Juneau on the Ala meda last night enroute to the West ward. The Senator says that he had a very nice time while down in the States and that he is now going to work. He has been very successful in financing his mining propositions and feels optimistic over the future,
 There is plenty of money available now the Senator says for legitimate development work along conservative lines. The resources of Alaska are now becoming well known and the at titude of the present national admins tration to encourage their development and the settling up of the Territory will bring about an era of great pros perity he thinks,

BOSTON JUVENILE
 WARMLY RECEIVED

The Juvenile Bostonians played to a crowded house in the Orpheum last night. Every seat was occupied and all the available standing room was pre.empted. The Dream Girl" was the offering The production is unique in that there isn't a skirt to be seen even though all of the performers are girls and girlies. There isn't any plot to speak of, just a thread on which to hang the choruses and the jokes with which the two acts are punctu- ated, but that it the way with comic opera. Some of the jokes are new, and all of them created much mirth The singing is acceptable and some of it very good. The "Houn' Dawg Song" as rendered is a perfect scream. The character acting of Do- die Garfield and Patsy Henry is ex- ceedingly good. On the whole the production was very well received and exceeded the expectations of those who attended. The Alameda, on which the company travelled, did not get in until S:3O and the company went on immediately,
 Nearly all the seats are sold out for tonight's performance and there is little doubt but that the demand will be greater than for the first perform ance. Tonight's offering, "The Rose of Blandeen," is Irish, extremely Irish and Patsy Henry will surely be in the limelight,

SPEAKER COLLINS

Speaker E. B. Collins. of the Alas. ka Legislature, returned last night on the Alameda and will spend several days in Juneau before proceeding to his home at Fox, in the Fairbanks dis trict. Speaker Collins will clean up the work Of the Legislature before leaving the capital The publication of the House Journal. the editing of which has been in charge of Chief Clerk Barry Keown, and some other matters. were left over by the House of Representatives for the Speaker to attend to-
 Speaker Collins is highly pleased with the manner in which the citi' zens of Seattle received the members of the Legislature that have been wis, iting in Seattle. and of the impression that the work of the Legislature has made on the Outside
 "I believe the visit of the members of the Legislature to Seattle will re- suit in better understanding be- tween the people of Alaska and those with whom they do business" said Mir. Collins, this morning The peo- pie of Seattle are ready interested in the welfare of Alaska, and they are ready to do anything that will further the interests of the Territory when the people of the North make plain to them what they want. Their difficult " in the past has been to gain ac' curate knowledge of what the people of Alaska want. And that has been largely on account of the natural diff ferences of opinion among our own people. Now. that the people have an opportunity through their territorial government Of declaring themselves, they will find that Seattle organiza- tions will back them up.
 "I find that the work of the Alaska Legislature has made a favorable i'm pression on the people Outside. There is no longer anyone to say that Alas ka is not capable of running her own affairs"

VII SON ASKS FOR QUICK ACTION
TOWNSHIP SURVEY
 ORDERED AT JUNEAU

Surveyor.General William l.. Distin has received advices from the Com missioner of the general land office stating that the land office has favor ably considered the petition and ap, plication for a survey of a tract of land for townsite purposes southeast of Juneau and adjacent to the pres ent- boundaries of the city. Surveyor, General Distin says that special in structions will be issued for the sur vey of the boundary lines of this tract and that other proceedings will be in accordance with townsite regu- lations.
 The land in question lies to the southeast of the city and commences at the boundary line. It extends about two hundred feet up the hill from the land side of Franklin street and reaches 1890 feet to the southeast fol- lowing the line of Franklin street down past the Shattuck mill to point near the Sheep creek road Much of the land is occupied by business houses and residences, and great deal of it is claimed by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company as a mill site. The land on the channel side of Franklin street is excluded from the townsite application. Just what effect the granting of this sur vey will have on the title and claims to the property is problematical.
