PAPERS OPPOSE
 STATEHOOD PLAN

Alaska newspapers seem general y not to be in sympathy with the suggestion that Alaska should have more legislative powers, and more expenses until more people are here to support such added expenses. This Is in line with the stand taken by The Citizen when the Juneau Empire first began it's agitation for more territorial powers. The follow ing from two Alaska newspapers will indicate the opposition there is to the statehood plan:
 Seward Gateway.-The legis- latuIa was expected to have a fight yesto rday over the question as to VI ether it should recommend for Alaska statehood or increased ter rtorial powers. It looks rather premature at this time to ask for statehood With the building of the railroad and the greater development II hand a very large population in
 rease may be expected. When that increase comes statehood will soon follow The number of people are really the things that count ill poli tics. Yet. of course. there is no harm in passing a resolution. The Cnly question about that resolution is that twenty-four men in the leg islature cannot be regarded as the voice of the whole population. They would be rightly so had they re Ccigei tie mandate of the people on the matter, but they did not. They did not even try to secure the opinion of the general public as to whether statehood or greater terri torial powers are required. Even they themselves are divided, and this very division added to the fact that the people did not directly speak will probably render tLeir resolution futile anyhow No doubt they have the best intentions in the world. There Is no needless criticism of them intended, but the people will be the deciding factor in matters of such large importance.
 Douglas Island News.-The Dispatch strikes q true note when it calls attention to tie fact that all Alaskans want full measure of home rule. but those who have an ounce Of brains know that it is bet ter not to take the whole bottle al a single dose We must be ready for it. and, furthermore, our young legislators must know how to apply it. They have already made mis takes and are making them right along.-we expect them to. But they are hot expensive mistakes and may soon be remedied. Given the full swing of authority over the fish, furs and forests, county organiza- tions and what not, and the razzle- dazzle Of law making would have been something fearful to contem- plate. Alaska has first to educate it's lawmakers. When they learn the three "Rs" trey may take up the higher branches. But the peo- pie Of Alaska are afraid to trust them with the greater things until they learn to handle the lesser. We want t em to play fair and honest and we will be proud of them. But as an independent, self-goyerning country, we must walk before We can run. Go slow.

Loses $0O While
 Stealing Chickens

GARDENA, Calif-James McFar- land. a farmer residing near this place, has an excellent joke on some body and is searching for the fellow who dropped a purse containing S9O In his hen yard some time Sun day night.
 Upon going out to feed his brood of l03 fine blooded Leghorn chicks shortly after sunup yesterday morn ing, Mcfarland was amazed to see that the number had dwindled down to eighty-eight chickens. His amaze ment changed to joy when he saw, lying in the yard. well-filled purse which was evidently dropped by the intruder in his flight from the prem ises after stealing the birds.
 Mcfarland was in Redondo yes terday asking numerous questions regarding the identity of the purse which contained no clew as to the owner. He is widely advertising his prize, but up to late hour last night nobody has come forward to claim the money. McFarand says he appreciates the sudden rise in the poultry market

Ostrich Egg IS
 Breakfast Diet

LOS ANGELES.-When your phy- sician orders one egg, and only one. as your breakfast diet, will any kind do?
 Certainly" said Louis Sands. son of prominent Michigan mmhe-man. and guest at large PasadeLa win ter hotel. Whereupon he proceeded to order himself served each morn with a boiled ostrich egg to appease an appetite induced by invigorating Southland climate.
 Guests at early breakfast were amazed this morning to view the apparently overgrown egg served at Sands table The size failed to feaze the youth. who is some six feet tall and weighs over two hun dred pounds, and he calmly pro ceeded to break and eat 1t with rel ish. One egg. however made more than a full meal, and Sands obeyed the one egg order 10 the letter.
 Certainly I'll keep it up," said Sands today. If tte supply of eggs holds out. It's relishing"
 He has arranged for the entire product from one of the big hens of an ostrich farm flock for the week or moro in which he intends to diet Sands feat has created a lively demand among the winter visitors for ostrich eggs, that they may try the novel meal obtainable only in California.

EXPLAINS HIS PLANS ID JET
 DEPOSITS BACK
DE JOURNEl GIVEN HEARING ON BANK
 PETITIONS.

In a courtroom filled with inter- ested people, Attorney Fernand de Journel made an eloquent plea Tues day night for the commencement of suits for the recovery of money he says is legally due the depositors of the defunct Washington-Alaska bank from E. l.. Webster. John Schram and w. II. Parsons. formerly directors of the Fairbanks banking company. He also made a plea on behalf of the petition of Receiver Moves to hire MT. de Journel as attorney for the recelvership. The court took the matter under advise ment
 It was MT. de Journels conten- tion that the persons mentioned had obtained through fraud more than s500,000 from the Washington-Alaska bank of Nevada, after it had merged with the Washington-Alaska bank of Washington, formerly the Fairbanks Banking company. The merging of the banks, he asserted. was illegal. and for that reason the money paid to the men mentioned, for stock they had turned in, was illegally paid and can be redeemed through proper process of law.
 The statement that MT. de Journel wanted $500 a month while carrying Jn this suit. in addition to a large contingent fee. he explained was misleading. What he wanted was $500 a month and expenses while he is drawing up the case. which will take only three or four months, and nothing after that time except the contingent fee, which would be divided with large Seattle law firm that would help him collect it.
 To substantiate his assertion that the sale of the stock to the merged banks was illegal and that the money could be redeemed, MT. de JOurnel read numerous decisions. He as serted that there was but little chance that the suits could fail. in the light of former decisions.
 At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge Bunnell stated that he would give the matter careful attention and woud render a decision as soon as his other work would allow him to go into the case properly. If the suits are to be started, il will be necessary to file them before September 12, as on that date they will become out-lawed by the sta tute of limitations.
