ELECTION FOR DELEGATE
 TO co TO THE COURTS

A Juneau special to the Fairbanks News Miner, dated February l. says:
 The territorial canvassing board today practically asked that protests on ac count of irregularities in the recent election be taken into court, and this may result in two seriously urged protests, Both are based on the position that where law re- qurements were made to guard against fraud they must be observed. Therefore protests were entered against Utica Deer ing and Dime, in the Second division; Chog- glung and Nushagak, in the Third where official ballots were not used and where certificates provided by law setting forth req sons for not so doing were not made.
 If these protests are held good, Sulzer will win The protest against the whole of the Second division, where requirements for registration of voters were disregarded, is based on the same principle. The protest ants claim that central points in the election law are registration and the Australian bal lot and If these are not complied with in accordance with statute there is no need for the law at all. The Bristol bay precincts did not use official ballots, and only Naknek, where oulzer got hihe hlaJoIily, Sth' proper certificate for failure.
 The Bristol bay returns show: Chog giung -Wickersham, 25; Sulzer, 3. Nuhsa- gak- -Wickersham, 10; Sulzer, 3. Naknek -Sulzer, 9; Wickersham 0.
 The ballots at Choggiung were typewrt- ten and had only the name of Wickersham on them for delegate, and many of them had no room to write other names
 Counting Bristol bay, the Third division stands: SuIzer 1,69S Wickersham, 2,0O7
 The Fourth division without Kantishna, Discovery, Dikeman and Flat, gives Sulzer 1895; Wickersham, 1,604.

MAJOR ALBRIGHT NOTIFIED
 OF DEATH OF ONLY SON

Rex George Albrecht, 29 years of age, only son of Major and Mrs George w. AL brecht of this city, died at Chicago on March l, and will be buried at Stanton, Mich the old home of the Albrechts, where their first born child was buried
 The sad intelligence was received by tele- graph yesterday by Major Albrecht from his wife, who, with her daughter, has been spending the winter in Kentucky.
 The death of young MT. Albrecht was not wholly unexpected as letter received by the Major some weeks ago told of his seri- ous illness.
 Rex G. Albrecht was a linotype operator by trade, and had the reputation among his fellow craftsmen of being particularly adept at his calling He was also proficient anna teur athlete, and it is probable that, al though of splendid physique, he had at some time impaired his health by over exertion.
 The sincere condolences of the entire con- munity will go out to Major and Mrs Al brecht in their great bereavement
