JUNEAU POSTOFFICE HAS
 TWO HISTORICAL SAFES

Postmaster Earle R. Hunter is custod- ian of two pieces of furniture which besides being very useful. have a bit of historical interest. The articles in question are two massive steel fire and burglar proof safes that formerly did service in the rival towns of Lynn Canal, during the strenuous days of the great gold rush of '97-9S and even later. One safe was stationed in the postoCfice at Dyea and served that community during the stampede into Dawson. When the population moved away from Dyea the government re- moved the safe and discontinued the postotfice. It has been used in Jul neau for a long time.
 The other safe is considerable larg' CT and was used in the Skagway post office during the early and aftluent days of Dawson's career. It has been the temporary resting place of many fat pokes of gold dust and has cared for many thousands of dollars worth of the precious metal during the per. iod that it was popular to ship gold Co the states through the mail ser vice.

ANTWERP By Gertrude E. Mallette

About fifty miles from the open sea on the banks of the River Scheldt there is a level stretch of land which was chosen by the Ganerbians in the Eighth century as q site for the pres ent Belgian capital
 The recorded history of Antwerp begins in S37, when the town fell ln' to the hands of invading northmen' who held it for about sixty ycars' Then it slips into a period of more o~ less unimDortance until 1OOS. Hen rv II. erected it into marquesate ol the Holy Roman Empire. h this ca racitv it passed to Godfrey of Bouillon in lO76 as the gift of Henry w.
 in the early part of the twelfth century Antwerp became acslve as d commercial center. Under the feudal regime. when downright robbery was not practiccd, the lords cXacted tolls at every bridge, market and highway If was only after the crusades had stimulated enterprise and created new tastes that commerce played an i'm portant part in modiaval life. The ltal' ian towns were the first to feel this innuIsc gs tho result of their cen troI position on the Mediterranean; and Amalfi, Pisa, Geneva and Venice became important commercial centerS Venice. whose trade was originally confined to salt and fish developed a vast commerce in spiccG, perfumes su gar. silks, and other goods which came from the East by the way of the Per sian Gulf or Red Sea. In the l4th century Venice possessed merchant marine of three thousand vessels and each year sent large fleets of vessels through the Straits of Gibraltar to Flanders and the English Channel From Genoa much travelled route led through France by way of the River Rhone. .,
 The great northern market for all fbis commerce was Bru2es, where the products of the south and east were exchanged for furs, amber, fish anc wooden clothes of the north. Mer chants of seventeen kingdoms had settled there and strangers visited the place from all parts of the known world. In the Fifteenth century Ant werp wrested this precminence iron Bruzes, largely as the result of its grant of freedom of trade. Through the discovery of America in 1492 ant of the passage to India in 149T great change was produced in all Eur opean navigation and the old course! of commerce were permanently alter cd.

MORE TERRITORIAL FUNDS
 RECEIVED FROM FORESTS

The sum of $l4.692.O9 has been cer, tiiied to by the auditor of the state and other departments as being due to the Territorial Treasury of Alaska, as Alaska's share of the 25 per cent. from the sales of timber sales of the National forests in Alaska. Of this amount due Alaska. S6O5.S5 comes from sales made in the ChugaCh for est resrvc and $l4,OS6.74 from the Ton gaSS reSrve.
 This makes q total of about $60,OOO which Territorial Treasurer Walstein c. Smith has received from the same source The moneys received from ,his source must be expended for school and road purposes outside of '~co-pOrated towns. The moneys pend ing action by the Legislature are be- ing placed at interest as rapidly as possible Much of it is already draw ing two per cent in this way.

The Admiral Watson arrived from the Westward southbound at 1O:SO last night loaded to the guards with freight and passengers.

The ship has the greater number of the cannery crew from Yakutat aboard and part of the seasons pack:
 There were two passengers for Juneau. R. E. Christian. and Daia Kan; all others were for Seattle, except one for Petersburg and one for Ketch' ikan.

DELEGATE ADMITS
 THINGS AT HAYNES

HAYNES, Oct. 3.-To the Editor Last night at a meeting held in the A. B. Hall at Haines, Alaska, the Hon. J. Wickersham read letters of Congrat- ulations from the Hon. R. w. Jen' nings, and Hon. H. A. Bishop, in which they congratulated him for securing the passage of the bill creating the AL aska Legislature. After reading the letters he dramatically related how his friends, the Judge and the Marshal, gave up their official duties to attend the Democratic convention in Skag- way, and help to nominate c. B. Bun nell to run against him. It is known here that the foregoing statement is absolutely false and as matter of fact the Hon. R. w. Jennings and Hon. II. A. Bishop were not in Skagway at the Democratic convention.
 Speaking of the bills which have been passed by the present admins tration, for the benfit of Alaska, the delegate tried to place the credit for the same in different directions, al ways with his participation. The Wo- mans Suffrage bill he credited to a representative from Illinois. The rail road bill to the Taft administration; the coal lands leasing bill, he gave to the credit of Clifford Pinchot, but all with his assistance.
 Now, we Alaskans, especially the old Sourdoughs. know the difference. We lived under Republican adminis- trations for 20 years, and we could get nothing from them for the bene- fit of the Territory. We have only been successful at the hands of the present administration.
 The Delegate also admitted in his addressthat he could not secure the passage of the Legislative bill in the House, where the majority were Dem ocrats, until he got the assistance of the Democrats of Alaska. How can he now expect to get bills through when the majority of the House are Democrats, and with a Democratic ad- ministration? How can he expect to be elected after stating that 1t was for him to get bill through when opposed by Democratic major ity?
 In conclusion, l must state that the Delegate did not appear to be him. self while making his address in Haines, and l am inclined to believe that his condition Is due to the fact that he is discouraged, and knows that his chances for reelection are very poor

and German towns at home, having for it's object the defense and secur' ity of traffic by land and sea, settle ment of disputes among it's members and acquisition and maintenance of trading privileges by land and seal had withered, but Venice, Nuremberg and Bruzes sank into rapid decay, but Antwerp grew rapidly wealthy.
 Consequently Antwerp became a de sirable point and Spain endeavored to get possession of the city. An at- temtpt to capture the port in 1516 failed, as did second attempt under the Duke of Alcenon in 15S3. Two years later the city finally fell before the assaults of the Duke of Parma, who entered triumphantly on the sev- enteenth of August in 1885.
 With the Spanish acquisition of Ant werp, it's glory departed, it's com merce decayed and it's inhabitants scattered. The Dutch, in their jeal- ousy. endeavored to complete it's ruin by building forts on the river in order to intercept the passage of ships and succeeded finally, by the Peace Of Westphala, in 164S. in definitely clos ing the Scheldt.
 The river was again opened by the French in 1749 and Antwerp was made the capital of the Department Of DeauX Nethes, in which capacity 1t remained until 1874. Antwerp'G last dispute was settled by Belgium and Holland through the treaty of 1889 and since that time the city has con- tinued peacefully in it's advancement,
 Antwerp claims many points of in- tcrest. among the most notable Of which is perhaps the beautiful Cath edral of Notre Dame, (which by the way must not be confused with the Cathedral of the same name in Par isl This Cathedral is the largest and most beautiful Gothic structure in the Low countries, its area aggregatlng "a. .O6O square feet. Several Rue hens paintings adorn it's walls; among them being the Descent From the Cross" "Elevation of the Cross" and the Resumption"
 Another point of rather unusual in tcrest in connection with Antwerp IS the fact that it's law of 1920 contained provisions identical with those of the Habeas Corpus Act passed in England in 1879. maintaining the inyiolability of the citizens dwelling, and the ac knowledging the right of every man tc be judged by his peers and to have voice in the imposition of taxes. -S-S-S,---

COAL CLAIMS
 ARE UNDECIDED

In the discussion of the Alaska coal claims by Congress and the several committees the fact has been drawn out that prior to the withdrawal on November 12, 1906, of all Alaska coal lands except those embraced in valid existing claims, a total of 1,129 claims were recorded, says the Cordoya Al askan. This means 1,129 locations not exceeding 16O acres each. When a report on these claims was made two or three months ago 1t was stated that of this number 561 have been cancelled or abandoned; have been patented, and 566 are pending, most of the latter either having been held for cancellation for irregularity or being under investigation because of alleged illegality. The claims can celled, patented, and pending are shown by coal fields in the following table:
