B. 25), entitled An Act to Require the Registration of Vital Statistics in the Territory of Alaska, and for Other Purposes" which pro- vides that a record shall be made and preserved of all births. deaths and marriages occurring within the territory and names the ex-officio secretary of Alaska to act as regis trar; who, as such registrar shall cause blank certificates to be printed of each, births, deaths and mar riages, to be furnished to the clerks of the district courts; to the United States commissioners; to physicians; clergymen, and undertaken, and to other persons. The forms are now in the course of printing and when received from the printer. copies of the same will be furnished upon ap- plication therefor.
 The said act requires any and all persons in possession of statistics re- lating to births, deaths and mar riages, to compile all such records and transmit them to the territorial registrar of vital statistics, Juneau, Alaska, as provided by Section II of the said act which reads, as follows:
 ''It shall be, and hereby is made the duty of all recorders in the terri tory of Alaska, and of the clerks of all municipalities in the territory, and of all ministers of the gospel, practicing physicians and undertak.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Tt is an- nounced that the price of Turkish cigarets will not be materially in- creased on account of the recent war in the Balkans. Tobacco experts explain that the tobacco crops are practically intact this year, as the fighting area was not located in the troops on tobacco warehouses were few, save in the case om Serres, where the Bulgarians burned several warehouses, some of which belonged to Americans, but the total loss was only thousand pounds of tobacco.
 The wholesale price of Turkish tobacco has increased, owing to the fact of so many men being required for service in the army that a sufti- cient number of laborers to tend the crops could not be obtained. This shortage of labor will probably ex- tend to the coming year, and fur ther increase in the wholesale price of tobacco is anticipated.
 Tobacco men are watching with interest the determination as to final disposition of Kavalia, which is the area where the finest Turkish to- bacco is produced. At present the place is held by Greece, with likeli- hood of its retention by that coun- try. If this obtains, tobacco men are wondering whether Greece will continue her present attitude tow ards the tobacco men and leave the field free to all, or establish a regime like Turkey.
