HIGHWAY BILLS.

IL The legislature passed bill appropriatng $780,
900 for the highway between Mecca and Brawley and
100000 for that between Ell Centre and Yuma. Then the
legislature provided for an election bond issues in the
sum of S5OOOOOO to include the construction of these
highways among others.
1t is understood Governor Johnson will not sign the
direct appropriation bills, but will leave the roads to be
built from the bond ISSUE
If we were disposed to follow the pork barrel" idea
we might condemn the governor but when try to put
ourselves in his place and note the tremendous demands
on the state treasury the need for refusing
to give the millions which various parts of the state will

suffer greatly by waiting for road construction through

 TO RETURN TO NORTH

Howard Burgert. for many years a purser on the Alaska boats of the Pacific Cast Steamship Company, and now purser of the greyhound "Har- ward" running between San Francis co and San Pedro. writes a Juneau friend that he longs to return to AL aska although he has a splendid po- sition at the present time.
 That Alaskan country surely has fascination for people who have been there" Mir. Burgert writes, land you don't know how I would like to take trip up there right now. This is somewhat of a faster job than the Alaska run. a little more life, but the people are SO different. They don't seem to have the good fellowship like the Alaska travelling public We have been handling from fourteen to sixteen thousand passengers a month and we have certainly been very busy"

BLAMED FOR DOWNFALL
 OF WHITE MAN.

When Matt Carlson was called be. fore Judge Jennings this morning to register his plea In response to the charge Of selling liquor to Q native. on which ho has been Indicted by the Grand Jury, John c. Held as Carl. sons attorney asked chat the court be lenient in pronouncing sentence on the ground that although he has been resident of Alaska for l7 years. thls is the first time he has eyer been call. ed into court. "On the other hand0 said Mr. Heid "the Indian to whom he sold the liquor has been in the courts on one count or another for the past 25 years have known of innumerable times when that Indian. Jake Williams has done this very same hing-received liquor from Q white man, and l see no reason when he is really at the bottom Of it an he should go clear and even get paid for it."
 "This man Carlson continued Mr. Held, "had been drlnNngl and be met Jake Williams. and he took Jakes dollar and bought whiskey and at an appointed place gave Che Indian the liquor He doesn't deny it He says he's guilty. But ! submit to the Court that Carlson was merely a tool for O man who is as bis scoundrel as ever lived outside of penitentiary"
 Before pronouncing sentence. Judge Jennings warned Carlson that if con- victed of Che same offence @ second time he would be surely sent to Nc. Neips. Then. Tt Is the judgment Of the court that you spend four months In the federal jail at Juneau"

An unusually successful event was tho church sociable and conference held in the basement of the Trinity Episcopal church last evening; the at- tendance was good and @ degree of enthusiasm which was most encourag ing prevailed; every one had a good time. the repast provided by the Lad- ies' Guild was substantial and the re-. suits accomplished most pleasing to al.
 Rev Guy D. Christian was the guid- ing hand at the head of the tables and conducted the meeting throughout; in the course Of the evening he called on several to speak briefly and after these were heard the gathering assumed the form and nature of @ business meet lng. B. l.. Thane on behalf Of the bus mess committee of the church made a detailed statement of the anairs Of the church which showed that an cur rent accounts were paid in full leay- ing the treasury even for the fiscal year; immediately a subscription pa- per was offered and subscriptions ag- gregating S61O of the $12OO required was obtained; this gives every assur- ance of an ample treasury for the ensuing year; the business committee, consisting of B.

CANNERiES
 WANT BUT
 ONE BOSS

The cannery interests do not oh- ] ject to paying Territorial taxes it they ! are taxed by the Territory only This As Che information brought back to ! Ala8ia by John H. Cobb. who is back from Seattle where he went as Ter ritoriai counsel Go confer with them.
 The cannery interests said Mr. Cobb do not want two masters They de- sire that the Territory be given the right Of taxation or that the taxing authority be exercised by the Federal government They would prefer how ever. that Che authority be exercised by the Territorial Legislature.
 By the agreement arranged between Mr. Cobb as attorney for the rerrl- tory of Alaska. and the attorneys rep resenting the Alaska packers, during Mir. Cobb's visit to Seattle the decis- ion that is rendered by the Circuit Court of Appeals win settle the Ques- ton of whether or not license taxes shall be paid as provided in the Act passed by the last legislature. Ow. ing Co the many controversies which have arisen since the passage of the law the packers decided at a meeting held in Portland the early part of September, that they would endeavor to reach an agreement with the Ter ritorial attorney whereby the Ques- tion might be amicably settled with out each individual company being obliged to force the issue for itself
 As a main basis for their refusal to pay the license tax assessed upon the years pack, several of the Fish companies have alleged. among other things. that the Territorial Legisla- ture had no power to levy the tax upon the years pack when there is already a Federal tax. such legislation being in violation of the stipulations Of the Organic Act
 Through the decision of the test suit soon 10 be brought before the Circuit Court the matter will be set tied Each company concerned. with the exception of the defendant com pany In the test suit, has signed an agreement to the effect that 1T the law is declared valid it win pay the license tax with interest. and the Territory has agreed to waive penal ties and to exact only the amount of the tax plus the Interest thereon.
 Compromise On Amount
 According Co Mr. Cobb's statement today. the amount of tho tax due for 191S-and 1914 is to be reached upon basis of a compromise as to the grades of the fish, The act of 1918 does not specify directly the grades known to the packing business, and some grades Of fish are not specific ally taxed at an under that law 'As a basis of calculating the amount of taxes due it Is agreed that we will be guided as to the amount by the amount of taxes that would be due under the act of l915' said Mr. Cobb
 Three days were used in the dis cussion of the many phases of the matter which presented themselves to the attorneys assembled at Seattle representing the fisheries companies and the Territory of Alaska Mr. Cobb went south in response to a cable gram from the Alaska Packers As- sociation asking him to come to Seat tie for the purpose of this conference and with the understanding that an expenses incurred by the Territory in that connection were Go be defrayed by the packing interests.
