ALASKA LEGISLATOR EXPECTS BUSY TIME
 AT COMING SESSION

SEATTLE, Feb 16.-Capt. John Sundbeck, formerly clerk of the
 United States district court at Nome and recently elected territorial sen ator in the upper house of the Alas
 ka legislature, arrived in Seattle yesterday enroute to Juneau to take
 his seat among the lawmakers of
 the Northland, says the POst-Intel-
 ligcncer. Senator Sundbeck de- clares that the territorial legisla
 ture has many problems to come before it for solution, the principal of which, in his opinion, will be the providing of school funds to take
 the place of the revenues cancelled by the enactment of the prohibition law. The senator has spent the past five months in California. He
 is a pioneer of Nome, and prior to going to the far North he was one of the early settlers of the Dako- tas. His particular hobby is dogs and whenever he is called upon to speak at banQucts and gatherings he comes forward with a various as- sortmrnt Of anecdotes of the Al askau's best friend"
 "The dog in the Northland is to the Alaskan as was the horse to the early pioneers of the great West" said Capt. Sundbeck at the Hotel Frye yesterday. Your dog is your friend in the immense sol itudcs Of the North, and he is often your only guide and dependence when hitting the snowy trails. In my fifteen years of experience in the Nome district I have encoun- tered so many incidents both per sonal and otherwise, of the depend 1, encc men place on the dog in that country that l could fill volumes 1 were I to take the time to relate 1 them all. At this season of the 1 year it is the dog on whom the traveller depends to go anywhere, l and in a blizzard he is your main ! for the dog will lead ! one to the nearest habitat"
 This is Senator Sunbeck's first ! visit to the states in the last eight years, and he expects to sail for Ju- ueau on February 22, when he will l accompany a party of Alaska Icgis- l lators now in the city to the leg | islatiye seat.

Representative Snow Is Urging Early Steps Towards School
 Questions.
DECLINES SPEAKERSHIP
Would Not Accept Office if It Given as He Does Not Want to Be
 Muzzled.

The schools should have first call
 on the attention of the new Territor | ial Legislature in the opinion Of Rep
 resentative C. K. Snow oS Ruby. Mir Snow is opposed to partisanship in the Legislature. and against eXtray' agance or pork barrer appropria ,.ous.
 NIr. Snow was member of the l last House of Representatives. and
 was the author oi the prohibition ref erendum that was submitted to the
 people last November. He ran for
 reelection as au independent, and
 won a place on the Fourth Division delegation against straight Democrat. ic and Wickershamite tickets He was the only independent elected. however. the Democrats elccting two representatives T. Burns and l., .C. Hess-and the Wickershamites oue-Andrew Nerland. He has been Tn Juneau for several days and is lt the Gastineau Hotel.
 Discussing matters that may come before the next Legislature. Mir. Snow said that in his opinion schools and school questions should be the first thing settled
 "In my opinion" said NIr. Snow, the schools of Alaska will now be in better shape than ever before. Formerly under the Nelson School Fund law and schools outside Of in corpOrated towns were seriously han iicappcd because the fund was not sufficient for their support. AS long as the fund nearly paid the bills people would struggle along with the schools the way they were and not take any decisive action. Now shat the fund will not nearly GOV. or the costs of maintaing the schools. after the saloons quit busi. ness next January. it will be abs0. lutely necessary for the Legislature 10 take care of them. and think this will be done at the coming ses- sion without any trouble.
 The Legislature will have, or should have plenty of money to spend. but I hope there will be no tendency on the part of the mem bers to pass any pork approprio- hous." ! do not think that would be possible unless combinations were worked
