PARLIAMENT PAYS MEMBERS \
 BONUS

THE HAGUE. Nov. 25. - To pre- vent irregular attendance in the sec ond chamber of the Dutch parliament the prime minister Mir Cort van der Linden, has brought forward the pro posal that members shall be paid an extra fee of S2 for every sitting they attend. He proposes also that the yearly salary of members shall be raised from $500 to $l,2O0, with right to pension.
 According to the Dutch constitution, not only is tho chamber debarred from taking any decision unless more than half it's members are present. but it may not even deliberate.

KA5iAN IS MA DE \ NATIONAL
 MONUMENT

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. - The
 old Kasaan National Monument" consisting of 3s acres within the Ton sass national forest. Alaska. has just been created by presidential procIa- nation as result of recommendation made by the secretary of agriculture. The tract embraces the well known lbaudoned Hadia Indian village Of Old Nasoan. situated on Prince of Wales island, iii southeastern Alaska. about thirty miles West of Ketchikan.
 The village was abandoned by the
 Indians about ten years ago. Among the relies which remain are about 50 Indian totem poles. five or six of which are classed as exceedingly good specimens In the deserted village there are also eight large square buildings, which were originally con structed according 10 the peculiar plan of the Haida Indians, and which fl is stated by those best qualified 10 know. represent the best specimens of Haida architecture that now ex- ists. The largest of these buildings is approximately 40 by 60 feet in size and is made entirely of round and carved timhers. There also remain a number Of Indian grave houses erected hy the Alaska Indians.
 Since the village was abandoned by the Indians the buildings have been rapidly falling into a state of dilapida- ton and decay, and a certain amount of vandalism by tourists and souvenir hunters renders some form of pro lection essential An examination of the area was made jointly by repre- sentatiyes of the forest service and of the interior department. and reports strongly urging the establishment of d national monument were approved by the secretaries of both depart ments. The Smithsonian Institution strongly endorsed the proposition for the establishment of national monu- ment The new national monument will be protected and administered by the forest service, as is the case with all monuments located within the na- tional forests.

According to the Empire this cuts Sulzer's plural ity in the First division from 518 to 493, and cuts his lead in the territory from 1G0 to S2 The vote at Nizina is not included in this count and re duces Sulzer's lead more votes The Juneau Dispatch however. insists that it's original figures giving Sulzer a plurality of 477 in the First are cor rect. and if they are and there are no changes in the other divisions. Sulzer is ahead 61 votes
 In the Third division Wtckersham has plurality of 2G3, with about fiji teen precincts unreported. Word comes from Shushanna that about 40 votes were cast there, and most of them for Wickersham. The indi- cations are the present delegate will also carry many of the precincts to the westward and have a plurality Of close t0 400 in the division.
 From the Second division the De mocrats expect Sulzer to get big vote at Marshall City, many claiming a plurality of 100 votes there It is stated that a Cordovan received d wire from Frank Waskey yesterday, and according to the figures given by him Sulzer's lead at Marshall City is 34. There is still Dime creek to hear from, which both sides are claiming.
