The Juneau political machine will find serious obstacles to overcome it it tries to run things to the extent of retaining in the First division all the Territorial funds. The fact is that phicalIy and otherwise, the First division is the most insignificant of Alaska. It's resourc cs are lmited to some big mines, the profits of which % to limited nnni- bcr of millionaircs, and there is Lut little room for agriculture or stock raising.

FROM wEDNEsDAY's DAILY WRECK OF THE ISLANDER
 IS NOT YET LOCATED

The wreck of tho Islander, lying at tho south end of Douglas Island, has not been located yet by A. ]. Rogers, who is dragging for it.
 The barge Palmyra, which has the ten-ton submarine on board which will be used in an effort To recover the gold and other valuablcs from tho wreck, is anchored off the island waiting for the wreck to be found.
 Mir. Rogers and his crew have been dragging for tho past week in an ef- yesterday had heen unsuccessful, ac- corting to word received in Juneau.
 The submarine which is to be used in the attempt to recover tho wreck is an invention of MT. Rogers and is moved from place to place by means of the winches and booms on the barge. the mon doing the work be ing inside the shell.
 A number of attempts to reach the wreck and recover the gold from her have been made, but without success as the wreck lies in water too deep to be reached by the ordinary methods.
 The Islander was wrecked on a clear night off the south end of Douglas Island over 15 years ago, with loss of 42 lives. Survivors from the wreck landed on the beach at the south end of the island and walked to Tread well and Douglas, where they were cared for.
 Several of those making the attempt to reach the wreck have claimed to have located it, but nothing has ever been recovered from it to prove the statement.
 The Islander had the reputation of being the most beautiful boat that ran on the Pacific Coast, part of her decorations being hand painted water colors of Alaskan scenes on the state room door pannels. The rest of the boats furnishings were on as elabor- ate a scale.
