 "rhe Secretary og the Treasagy has hold that tc complete the character ol building lhat would ba required Go house tine Federal and Territorial oI- fees at Jnneaa will require S62T,5oo or si50.000 in addition to the amount originally available. and che appro. priat.on committees ot Congress ac cepted this estimate But instead ol appropriating the Sl500o0 additional funds asked by the Secretary ol the Treasury to complete building they had In mind. they allowed S75,0oo to be made immediately available. it was stated by Che committee of the House that the remainder needed SS75. .000-c0n be provided by the next House and te available by the time that 1t will be needed.
 'Eollowins is 9 short history of the appropriations: Originally Congress appropriated S2o0 GOO for the erection Of Q public building at Juneau. or this sum S22.500 was expended in se- curing the site. consisting ot whole block bounded by Fourth and Fifth and Main and Seward Streets, and in testing Che ground for ,hc purpose Of determining the character Of fonn- dalton building on it wiuld require. This is the block upon which IS To- cated the building in which the Gov ernor's office Is now situated. This left balance Of S1T7.500 in the orig inal fund
 After pians were prepared it was discovered that it would cost not less than SS00.ooe or SS5o,000 to build such a building as the architect of the Treasury Department prepared to ac- commodate the Federal offices in Juneau. WhUe Che question of secur- ing an additional appropriation to hund the character of Q building that would be required for this purpose was under consideration. Congress passed the Organic Act. creating the Alaska Legislative Assembly. The lost Legislative Assembly decided that the Territorial offices, including the Leg stature should be housed in the Fed eraf building which should thereby become also the Territorial Capitol. It asked Congress. through a memor- ial. to make an additional appropria- tion of S500.000 to erect a building suit able for the purpose.
 The Amount Needed
 "Tho Treasury Department then took this matter up. and agreed with the idea of the Alaska Legislature. but it's architect decided that S450,o0O- in addition to the S1775oo already ap- propriatcd-wpuld loo sufficient for the purpose. On March l7, l914 Sec retary of the Treasury William G. Me Adoo requested, by letter, that Dele gate James Wickersham Introduce a bill in Congress appropriating S450.- 'OOO. additional. for the building to house the Federal and Territorial of fees. including the Territorial Legis- iature. Delegate Wickersham intro duceC the bin suggested. one week later-aiarch 24. 1914. When this bin was being considered by the House Appropriations Committee it was de- cldod that S75.OOO. in addition to the SIT 500 already available. would be sufficient to begin the building and pay for all the work that could be done before the next Congress would convene. and then 1t could appropriate the additional S375,O00 that will final iy be required.

The use of the word continuing is such as to indicate the purpose or Congress. which passed the bill con taining the item, Co continue making the. necessary appropriations until che building shall be finally completed at to lal cost that the Treasury De- parimeni estimates at $62I50O.

 Why Not start2
 "The situation now is this; The Secretary Of the Treasury Is now in possession of an appropriation of S252. 800, for building at Juneau which amount he knows Is inadequate for q building with floor space for the Governors offices Territorial As. brary. Surveyor Generals offices, Gus toms office, Post office, Land office, Inspector of Boilers and Hulls office, office of the Forest Reserve the Legis. lature. and other offices.
 "To my way of thinking J am in- clined to believe that slow steps win be taken to start this building unless the amount necessary for its comple. ton shall be appropriated by Congress. Although Secretary McAdoo. to judge from reports is much interested in the matter. J believe. therefore by urging the start of this building Congress would be sure to give our Territory the necessary balance of funds to complete it when necessary.
 And, by asking our Honorable Speaker to get into communication with the Secretary Of the Treasury we will in some measure force the latter to give us his view on the sub iect and probably advise for future action in this matter by che House. | know we are following an old adopt cd custom in the matter as similar actions are daily taken by State Leg islatures by every State in the Un. ion"

 "Ies not such bad league," " re- marked a visiting National League pitcher as ho watched tho Feds at Expo park one day iaat summer "but they sure pllf some awful stuff
 Well with the Fed hop no longer a major league possibility the Federal league win have to stand on their merits and no longer draw curious crowds just because some old.ime ia- gorites draw to certain extent, but In the end ifs the game the fans part with tho coin to watch. The Feds vii lose advertising, but thoy'll play bet ter ball. At the same time the Ma tional Leaguers will be back in the game playing ball and not dreaming of jumps Taken as whole the Feds are far below the standard of the bis leagues. The National seems to carry the edge
 Being la city where he could see both the National League brand and the Federal League brand of baseball last season. Kelly should be a pretty good authority on the calibre Of bail furnished.

 ATT'Y-GENERAL BILL

The bill. introduced in tho House yesterday by Representative Will. jam Britt. creating the office of At torney-ceneral and providing the method of his selection differs in part from both the Willard and the Aldrich bills. and in part agrees with both Of them It provides that the Attor- l lney-General shall be elected by the ! people, as is provided by the Aldrich l bill. but unlike the Aldrich biif it 1 provides that the Governor and not the Legislature shall make the first appointment The Willard bill pro vides for the appointment of the At torneyG General by the Governor
 The Britt bill provides a salary of S7 300 a year. the same as that pro yided by the Aldrich bin. The Mil hard bill fixes the salary at S5,0o0 a year. The Britt bill provides that the Attorney-General must have resided in Alaska and practiced law in the courts Of the Territory for period of five years. and that he must be at least 30 years Of age.
