sKAewAY ALASKAN HAD ITS BIRTHDAY
 FEBRUARY FIRST

Last Thursday, Feb 1st, the Daily Alaskan celebrated its eighteenth birthday. The Alaskan that day said:
 Eighteen years ago today. amid the hurry and hustle and rush of the hu- man tides which were surging through this valley to the gold fields Of the Yukan. the first issue of this pioneer newspaper was published. and 1t was then, as 1t has been ever since, a banner of progress for the people of the northland to rally around, and a recorder of the historic events In the development of this great new terri tory.
 Every working day for eighteen years. nearly half that time, under its present management. the Daily Alaskan has appeared and kept its readers in touch with world events, and played its proper part in watch. ing and working for the best inter- ests of the people of Skagway
 We have urged and aided every movement for the upbuilding of this city and for the growth of the indus tries of Alaska.
 The following letter. received fin 1908. by Dr. Keller authoratively fixes the Daily Alaskan's birthday For a time 1t was unknown to the present proprietors. owing to the fact that the files of the first two or three years had been lost or destroyed.

POLITICS DO NOT SHOW
 UP IN PRESIDENTS
 TARIFF BOARD PLANS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-President Wilson's plans for an Independent, non.partlsan tariff commission would have the following specific form;
 Investigate the administrative and fiscal effects of customs laws now in force or which may be passed In the future;
 Determine the relations between rates of duties on raw materials and those on finished or partially finished products:
 Investigate the effects Of valorem and specific duties and of those which are compound of ad valorem and specific;
 Examine the arrangement of sched- ules of duties and the classification Of articles In the several schedules.
 Investigate the provisions of law relating to the tariff and the regula- lions of the Treasury Department ap- plying to invoices. and other questions with application to the collection of customs duties; and,
 Determine generally the working of the customs and tariff laws in their economic effect and administrative methods.
 Other Needs Pointed Out
 In addition the President believes a tariff commission would be able to collect much data of use to the ad- ministratItlve officers of the govern. ment and to Congress. throwing light on the tariff relations between the United States and foreign countries.

skagway. Alaska:

Dear Doctor: I note that the Daily Alaskan has claimed some date in April as it's birthday. If you will con- suit the old files of your paper you will discover that 1t was the custom to change its volume and number on February 1st. We had quite a dis cussion over that matter in January, 1901. when the Daily Alaskan an- nounced that the installation in the of flee of the first linotype machine to be operated in Alaska, on the 18th of January of that year, occurred on its Srd birthday anniversahy. That was the date the De Succa's had been keeping for a birthday Oscar Dun bars Daily Guide called us down. Tbe matter was settled by securing copy of Vol l. No. 9, dated February 2, 1898, thus justifying Mfr Dunbar's recollection, that he established the Daily Alaskan and produced its first issue February list. 1898 c. l.. An drews owned the copy of the paper that determined the question. These dates are clearly fixed in my mind. as ! recall the discussion very well. This makes the Daily Alaskan the oldest daily newspaper now being published in Alaska. The Juneau Dispatch did not appear for some time after that date. and the daiiies that had been published before that time have all passed away
 Always with best wishes.

SUSTAINS FRACTURED
 SKULL IN DISPUTE
From Wednesdays Daily Miner.)

(From Wednesdays Daily Miner.)
 In dispute over the removal of some buildings from mining prop erty in Mineral Park Saturday, Ed ward Moyle had his skull fractured by a fellow, whose name could not be learned. The Moyle brothers, of whom the injured man is one, sold a piece of property some time ago and in the settlement the parties disagreed, which finally led, it is said, to the attempted removal of the buildings Saturday.
 Edward Moyle went up to the mine to remonstrate against their removal and, it is alleged, was set upon and beaten by one of the workmen. It is reported that he was seriously in jured, still being unconscious, and fear for his recovery is entertained. It appears that there were two workmen engaged in removal work. They were placed under arrest. and taken to Chloride for hearing. A petition for change of venue brought the case to Kingman and it will probably be heard before Justice Cohenour today.

In Techecking the returns of the re cent election in connection with the vote obtained by J. W. Prisk, Demo- crat, and J. N. Cohenour, Republican, for the office of sheriff, the board of county supervisors, at its session yes terday, discovered that in the Cedar precinct one man held the polls and was the only voter, which is contrary to law, requiring a full election board. The supervisors threw out the return, which gave Cohenour a lead of one vote over Prisk. Accordingly, a cer- tificate of election was issued to Co., henour.
 Immediately following the action of the supervisors, Prisk began prepara- tions to contest the election of Cohen our. He has retained as counsel At torneys Charles L. Lewis of Kingman and Paul Thorne of Oatman. Attor- ney E. S.
