 According to word arriving from the east, congress has passed tue Valdez Cordova and "indigent" appropriation bills. The first named is for the dike back of Valdez to protect the town from floods of glacial streams. This item calls for the expenditure of S55,. GOO. Two years ago the town sustained great damage by the floods and the citizens have been asking for relief ever since. After the flood an army engineer was called to examine the sit- nation and prepare plans and furnish estimates for dike that would pros tect the town from a recurrence of such disaster. The result of 1t all was the introduction of bill appropriating S75,000 for this purpose. This bill was lost. The bill that has just passed was introduced by Delegate Wickersham. Under this act the dike becomes a charge of the war department, which will keep it in repair. The Cordova appropriation carries S100,000 for a public building at that place. This will combine the courthouse, postof1ce and customs house and contain minor off, fees of the government service. The indigent appropriation bill takes 10 per cent from the Alaska fund, amounting to S17,000 or more per annum, which amount is to be divided between the four judicial divisions. The marshals of each division are made cust6dians of this annual appropriation and all dis bursements are made by and at the dis eretion of said marsbalss
