WASHINGTON. March 10. - The Alaska Homestead bill, introduced by Delegate Wickersham. has been con sidered and favorably recommended by the House committee on public lands. The bill has the approval of Secretary Lane. and is now on the House calendar standing a good chance of early consideration by that body. Wickersham expects favorable action by Congress on the measure. The bill reduces the present home stead maximum from 320 acres to 16O acres, but it permits d citizen who has exercised his homestead rights in the States to repeat the process in Alaska.

M 'CARTHY VOTES IN FAVOR IF \
 WET TOWN

The residents of Mccarthy have de cided by decisive vote that they no longer desire to continue as a dry" community. Under a ruling by Judge Brown, the matter of granting liquor licenses is left in the hands of the people, whose duty it is to take a census of all entitled to vote. and the majority to determine whether or not they desire any saloons to do business there. This was done throughout the third division last year, and at Me Carthy a protest against granting any licenses was signed by Il people. Later an application for a license contained 80 signatures, but after a personal investigation by Judge Brown. he announced that no licenses would be granted at Mccarthy for a year.
