 The back taxes in the First and Third Divisions have been very near ly cleared up. There are only few against whom suits will have to be brought in these two divisions.
 From the Second and Fourth Di- visions, returned and payments have been fairly we'll made from laun- dries, telephone companies, attor- neys, doctors, dentists and automo- piles. But very few payments or even returns have been made by the min ing industry. Many operators who are known to have made large profits, have so far not only failed to pay their taxes, but have igpored all let |ters sent from this office demanding la compliance with the law. It has so far been the policy of the Territorial Officers to administer the law in a spirit of fairness and liber- ality. All who in good faith desired to test the law were given the oppor- tunity to do so. without being pen alized, and those who desired to settle their debts to the Territory were allowed to do so, by paying the amount of the taxes and accrued in- terest. The policy of fairness to all will be continued. But it is intended Ito exact penalties hereafter from all those who have consistently ignored |the law and refused compliance with it's provisions. In some sections there appears to be an impression that the laws passed by the people of Alaska through their Legislature are mere jokes, and that they can be safely ignored. Steps will shortly be taken to correct this view.
 While with the incomplete data now on hand no very definite state ment can be made as to this amount of taxes still due the Territory, yet there is enough to safely say that if the revenue laws of the Territory are sustained by the Court of- last resort the treasury will have cash balance on hand when the next legis- lature meets of not less than $25O,0- 10000. It may exceed $3OO,00O.0O

IA lObSTERmAN'S SIDE OF
LOBSTER FISHING QUESTION

business? They don't know the least
thing about it, is my idea. Some OF
them have been on the water perhaps,
once saw lobster, never saw 1t
caught and have no idea Of the bust
ness whatever. These hatchery peo-
pie and wardens will wipe it into these
people, make them believe there is no
business like it, which I guess there
isn't, as far as graft Is concerned. AT
the same time, If fisherman should
express his ideas, a man who has been
in the business all Of his days, who
has caught more Holsters than the law
makers ever saw, IL this person should
express his opinion they would laugh
at him. Do you think hatchery man
is going to talk against his own bust
ness? Do you think warden Is going
against his? No, sir. not as long as
he can get those fellows to give him
steady work. Why should he? There
is no reason why he should.
What seems to be the best outlook IS
to have a closed time from June Is TO
September Is, or longer as might be
seen fit. That would save the summer
trade on short Holsters. And large
number Of those that would have been
sold for shorts would be counts in the
fall. To better this idea think a uni
fern law made under the Maine meas
urements, AZ inches from snout to
first Joint, would be the proper thing.
AS for under 9 inches, think very rev
of the Holsters seed. So let Mr.. Lewis
work out the AZ measurement with
the people at Washington and instead
of Matching the lobster seed let nature
do it. This was done before hatcher
les were ever thought Of and think
it can be done to the best advantage
now. A. II. bnE" En-"
