LIBRARY STATUS
IS Fixed; LEGAL
OPINION GIVEN
Alaska Library and Museum
Is Territorial Institution
Not Federal.

BY a ruling of the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States, under date
of September goth, 1922, copies OF
which have just been received in
Juneau the status of the Alaska
Historical Library and Museum is
Gtitution The point was authora-
tatively passed upon at Washington
as the result of a statement sub
mitted by the Secretary of the
Territory to the Governor, showing
that fees received through his office
and originally set apart for the SUPP
port and maintenance of the Lii
brary and Museum had been di-
verified to the general fund by the
Territorial Legislature until the re-
naming fees were wholly made
quate to meet the institution S
needs.
Established by Congress.
The Library and Museum was es-
tablished by Act of Congress in
1900 and provision made for its
support. A subsequent enactment
by Congress in 1905 provided that
'All fees received by the secretary
of the district of Alaska as such
secretary. from every source what
soever, shall be disbursed on the
order OF the governor of the district
of Alaska for the benefit of the
Alaska Historical Library and Mu-
scum
When these acts were passed the
only laws in force in Alaska were
these enacted by Congress. Suisse
quently in 1912 Congress provided
for a Legislative Assembly in the
Territory OF Alaska and prescribed
its powers.
Opinion by Daugherty.
Attorney General Daugherty after
reviewing the laws, says:
| The Alaska Historical Librar!
and Museum was established for the
use and benefit of the people o.
Alaska. Besides being depository
| for papers and things of historical
interest, it is to contain copies o.
all laws relating to the district ant
copies of all government publica
tons in order that the people and
officials of Alaska may have oppor-
tunity to readily refer to such laws
and publications when occasion de.
mands. 1t is, therefore, Terri
torial and not a Federal institution
In order that the Library anc
Museum might be supported by the
people of Alaska, Congress provided
that certain fees collected in the
Territory should be allocated to the
maintenance OF that institution
Subsequently power to iegislate
respecting local matters was dele
gated to the Territorial Legislature
and, as the collection and disposal
Of the fees in question did not fall
within the powers reserved to Con-
gress, there appears to be no good
reason why the Legislature of Alaska
should not legislate as to the
amount of fees to be collected and
the disposition to be made thereof,
and make such provision for the
support of the library and museum
as it might deem proper
Subject to Change.
The fees which were by Congress

BRIDGEMAN HAS
BAD SHAKEUP
in CAR WRECK
Collar Bone Fractured When
Car Goes Off Bridge at
Sharp Turn.

Going off the bridge near the Ayr
shire dairy early Sunday morning, VIII
liam Bridgeman of the Bridgeman drug
store received injuries regarded by
physicians called as serious, and was
recovering consciousness but slowly at
the Deaconess hospital Sunday night.
The bridge on which Bridgeman had
his accident is just across the railway
tracks. and there is a somewhat sharp
turn in the approach. Bridgeman had
Just left the dairy and evidently mis-
judged the turn, according to Sheriff
Bob Gordon. who was called. The
bridge is built up at some height and
the car was badly wrecked in going
off, according to Gordon.
Herbert Brown and Earl Nash, 1909
Ninth avenue south, were going from
Great Falls on a fishing trip at 6
o'cloc kin the morning and discovered
the wrecked car and Bridgeman, prob
ably a short time after the accident
according to Gordon. Bridgeman was
unconscious at that time and Sheriff
Gordon and the ambulance were called
to take him to the Deaconess hospital.
Bridgeman has a compound fracture
of the left leg. a fractured collar bone
and injuries about the head. according
to DIR. Gowen Ferguson, who was called
in the case. The exact extent of the
mans injuries had not yet been de-
termined Sunday and. although he said
the chances of recovery are good, the
case is a serious one. While the pa
tent had to some extent recovered his
consciousness Sunday. he was said to
be still somewhat dazed and neither
doctor nor hospital attendants ques-
toned him regarding the accident.

The California company did not have
tanks available at the well and expects
to make a longer bailing of the we'll
today. In the meantime. oil men are
enthusiastic over the results of the
first Ii n expect operations To-Day
TO improve the status of the well, if
anything.
The drilling touched the sand several
days ago and some oil has been rising
IN the hole despite heavy caving, but
the balling Sunday was the first indi-
cation to oil men of the probable pro-
duction of the well.
Inc balllng was done at about 5
O'Clock in the afternoon. The well, at
loo feet, is the shallowest in the
field. Some oil men point to the Cali
tornla Well on the Able lease in section
26-3o-2 w, three miles north and q
mile west, as perhaps on the edge of
the pool of which the Morton is at or
near the top. Drilling is contemplated
between the two that is expected to
test out the theory. The oil is said
to be of about the same quality as the
GLADYS Belle n is expected to test
out about the same gravity.
At the California-Able Sunday 80
bailers were run in some five or six
hours, containing % barrels of oil. The
fluid stood 1850 feet in the hole at the
beginning of bailing and could not be
lowered below $50 feet. 1t vas re-
ported that the oil and gas seemed to
be greater during bailing, with the less
amount of fluid in the hole. The well
is now estimated at better than a so
barrel well.
Oil men from the field arriving in
Great Falls reported that the Ohio
Sunburst-Swazey well on se4 se15 Sec
ton 34-36-2 W, when bailed Sunday
shot oil half way up the derrick with
the agitation of the gas. The we'll is
about a quarter of a mile from the
first Sunburst producer and the results
of the bailing were said by the oil men
to be encouraging TO expectations that
it will be bigger than the other wells
in this pool.
The developments of the last few
days have advanced acreage prices in
all parts of the field greatly, that in
t~hesouthern areas probably being the
first to feel the upward trend, ii is
reported. Royalties neal such wells
as the Gladys Belle and new California
are said to have mounted.
About the Gladys Belle in section
1882 W. the activity IS great, 1t is
reported. with rig materials being
moved on the ground and several pre-
pairing for operations.

Speaking about automobiles, a
newspaper correspondent just back
from Berlin on leave told his Wash
prices for ears in Germany. The cor
respondent wanted to buy a sedan of
a popular German make and finally
agreed to pay 100000 marks for it.
In olden days this would have been
about $4,000. but at the time the
bargain was made it was something
like 81 800. The day of delivery ar
irving, the scribe was told he would
have TO pay 100000 marks.
How Gomez" he asked in his best
German.
The tires weren't included in the
original price" was the explanation.
The correspondent bucked. He's
damned if he'd be held up like that.
He'd wait until they went down. He
did. He waited six weeks. Then he
called around and asked the price of
the sedan. Five hundred thousand
marks" said the automobile man.
Nothing doing" said the scribe.
Another six weeks elapsed and once
more the price was asked. Eight
hundred thousand marks" said the
automobile man.
The scribe smiled. That was all he
could do.
Just before leaving for home. he
asked again the price of the car. This
time just for fun.
Zone million, two hundred thousand
marks said the automobile man.
