Indications point to lively row in the territorial legislature over tine di- vision of the fund of s60.00ON paid in fo the Alaska territorial treasury as 25 per cent. of the revenues of the saiss Of timber and leases of lands within the forest reserves The Ton gass and Chugaeh forest reserves, from which the fund was derived. are h the First and Third divisions and some of the members contend that IL, money should be spent where pro dueed in the building of roads. trails and bridges.
 The members of the other divis- ions are almost unit in demanding ! fair division and have ruling of the treasury department to justify their contention. The test of strength will come when bill introduced hy Representative COombs. of Nome, and another fathered bv Representative Holland. come up fol action. The formers measure provides that the forest reserve money he spent or. roads and trails in the four divisions unfer the direction. Of the governor. Hollands measure provides for ap- propriatiug ss0.O00 of the money for roals. trails and bridges in the Third division. Another bill has also been introduced to appropriate the other half of the fund for the First divis ion.
 The ruling of rbe Treasury Depart ment which sustains the contentious of the members ot the Second and Fourth divisions in asking for equal divisions follows:
