 If i. had been the intention of the legislature to advance these allowances as loans. and take mortgages on the property of benefciaries as security. the law should have so stated. Grant, ing the allowances in this sroudsing manner reflects no credit on the great territory of Alaska. and 1t is an un just reflection and hardship on deserv- ing citizens.

SENATE PASSES
 SPECIAL ELECTION BILL

Juneau. Alaska, Mch. 15-After q hard fight. the Cochran Special Flee ton Bill providing for calling on ten days notice special elections to fill Va cancies in the Alaska Legislature. was with q few minor amendments. The Senate accepted the bill only after eS- ponents of the measure in the lower house had appeared before the cham her sitting as a committee of the whole and succeeded in overcoming the op- position.
 Governor Riggs has signified his in tention to sign the bill when it is laid before him.
The Nome nugget., 1921-03-19

A resolution. calling upon the ter ritoria legislature to amend the law whereby pioneer in order to receive a small pension of SIP month must turn over his or her estate to the ter ritory. was unanimously passed at a recent meeting of the Ke.chikan Igloo of the Pioneers of Alaska
 The Isloo feels that this part ot the law works an injustice upon the recipients of the allowances and that the granting of them "in this grudE- ing manner reflects no credit on the unjust reflection and hardship on de serving citizens"
 Under the terms of the law as now in effect. pioneer who has been q resident of Alaska for ten years or more may get the pension if he is de- serving. but he must first pu. tho ownership of such property. whether cabin. land or mining claim. as he may have. in the hands of the terri tory
 The resolution in full as passed. is as follows:

 senta.ives of the Territory of Alas

 1. That Chapter r. Session Laws 1919. being an amendment to certain sections of Chapter 64 Session Laws 1915. the act providing for allowance to certain aged residents of Alaska provides. among other things. that ap- plicants for such allowances shall agree that all property of which he or she is possessed or seized. shall. af- ter his or her death, vest in and be come the property of the territory Of Alaska. to the exclusion of all heirs except his or her spouse living in .he Territory of Alaska: and also that upon the death of any person enjoy ing the benefits of the provisions of this act his or her estate shall yes: in the territory of Alaska unless such person shall have q husband or wife living.

That familiar ancient relic. rick

deathbed, to the great wall OF curious
tourists. The existing narrow ana
had roads alone are keeping up It's
life. Whether for good or for Ill, tne

pelling the reluctant Nipponese to for-
sake many Of the antiquated things
and institutions that had long been

posed men like Lafcadio Hearn woulo
have Japan remain forever "plctur.

an individual, must live, ana nve

And rickshaw now must give way to

shaw men do not think so. They have
the love and respect Of their trade.
When lately the city Of Yokohama

CRETE ONCE A GREAT POWER
Mistress Of the Sea When King Minos
Ruled-RemarkabIe Laws Under
F.; Which People Lived.

Minos, king Of Crete, exercised
preponderating power on the sea; ne
drove out the barbarOus Carians from
the Cyclades, and exterminated piracy
which among the Greeks had been
openly professed; he kept the people
of the coasts in awe Of him, and at
the same time forced them to pay him
tribute.
Crete was advantageously situated
to become mistress Of the sea, but at
length confederacy arose which put
an end to her dominion. Minos wish
ed to render the Cretans mild and
gentle in their manners. To attain
this object he allowed free indul-
gence, Plato says, to licentious excess
even of the most flagitious kind, hop
ing that the refnements Of gal
1antry would mitigate the native
ferocity of his subjects.
AS individuals the Cretans pos
sessed eminent skill in military at
fairs, while the laws which they
adopted prevented the state from un-
dertaking any great enterprise abroad.
They elected ten cosmos, or regulators,
to govern in peace and war, and when
the period of their office was COM
pleted they remained members of the
legislature. The judges were all men
of advanced age, and young men we're
never allowed to propose change In
the law, and all proposals were made
in the senate, and secretly. Slaves
titled the soil, and the citizens ate to-
gether in public companies. while the
country was divided into twelve por-
tions for agriculture and business.

CHARGE for Fuse Replacement.

It has been the general custom
among the electrical companies OF this
country to make free replacement OF
the fuses which are blown out from
time to time but there is now gen
eral tendency among these corpora
tions to make charge for this serv-
ice. It is necessary to have men ready
at all hours, especially at night, to
answer calls so that the service may
be restored with the least possible de-
lay and the expense Of this has been
found to be a burden which it is now
proposed to relieve themselves Of by
making a charge. Some companies
which hesitate to take this step are
urging their patrons to lay in a sup
ply of fuses which are sold by the
company at cost and in case Of blow
out they can make the renewal them
selves.-Exchange.
