JUST A FOOL NOTION

At this session of the legislature, says the Cor dova Times. resolution will be introduced ask ing for a referendum of the whole territory on the question as to where the capitol of Alaska should be situated This information, continues, the writer was received from nquestionable sources.
 This is refreshing news, and while the quest ion admits of no debate since it's location has been decided many years ago. But since the subject is brought to our attention, we may men, ton the fact by way of information to the Times that when change of location is desired, the cap itol shall be removed to Ketchikan; the first City and the only City in the entire Banana Belt of Alaska The City where every one going in or out of Alaska must pass and where the whole bunch of federal officials for the territory should be- And by gink, shall be! That is, provided we have anything to say about the move
 At this iuncture. we may say with all serious ness that in the event any of the Western burgs want a capitol the best thing they can do is to get together and divorce the First Division; then they can each have a capitol if they so wish, we shall intercept no objections. But just so long as they hang on our spokes, we shall be the hub around which they shall have to travel. Meanwhile they may as well be good as to annoy us with such fool notions.
