Territorial schools and other boards. That Juneau has no right to printing paid for by taxpayers oi each division is apparent to anyone who can think. The election expenses for the Terri torial general election are paid for out of Fund c, which originates from li- censes. fines, etc. in each division. In case this amendment carries it would take the matter from the government and add the expense to the Territory. Representative Johnston has no brief for Juneau printers, so far as we can obs arve. and must have introduced his measure as q catspaw, aimed at the Fairbanks paper.
 This measure is iniquitous and will stifle trade at home; therefore it should be killed in the committee. The papers of Alaska should mark down the legislators who show an unfriend- ly spirit and retire them from office if possible.

4 TENACIOUS MEASURE

Representative Johnston of the Fourth division has introduced an amendment to the Territorial election laws which should endear him to all newspapers and citizens who believe in patronizing home industry. Ills amendmgnt provides that all ele 'tion supplies should be furnished by 'h3 Territorial secretary. That the young gentleman had evidently been coached Tn his amendment by Fourth division court officials is certain, as move was made to this effect by the Clerk of Court at Fairbanks during the last election.
 This amendment would take hun dreds of dollars worth of printing from court headquarters in each division and send it to Juneau, which has al ready cribbed the printing for the

BOY, PAGE MIR. HoRNADAY

Senator Dimond, of the Third divi- sion, introduced a bill in the Territo rial legislature last week, increasing the bounty on eagles from fifty cents to one dollar. That this move will be vigorously fought by Dr. Hornaday and other sentimentaliSts there is no doubt They have an affection for this predatory bird amounting almost to reverence, notwithstanding it's great destruction of game and fish. Thous- ands of eagles have been killed in the Territory since the fiity cent bounty went into effect, and now that one dol lar is to be paid, the Territory is in for the payment of a large sum as there are literally tens of thousands of these birds in the Territory, every salmon stream being literally lined with them in salmon spawning time. They are also very destructive to both sheep and goats, the young of which they easily carry to their nests for food.
 The easle, ike the wolf, should be utterly cxterminated as soon as possi bic. They are the greatest destroyers of game and fur known
