SEWARD DAY

Today, March 3Oth, is Seward Day named in honor of Willi- am H. Seward, secretary of state under President Johnson, and commemorative of the purchase of Alaska from Rus sia in 1867, at a price of ST. 100000, or about ? cents per acre.
 The treaty of purchase was signed by Secretary Seward and Baron Stoeckl, the Russian representative, at 4 p. m. Mar. 3Oth, 1867, and was sent to the Senate for ratification on the same day.
 Considerable difficulty was experienced in obtaining the appropriation but was finally granted by Congress July IA, after much opposition. It is in teresting to note that after the passage of the appropriation bill a controversy arose over which country should pay the cable expenses incident to the purchase. Russia refused to pay her share and the United States finally settled, after the cable company had reduced the amount.
 The formal transfer of Alas ka to the United States took place October IS, 1867.

JUDGE FOX TAKES
 OVER OFFICE OF
 COMMISSIONER

Arthur w. Fox, we'll known attorney, who was recently ap- pointed by Federal Judge Justin w. Harding to be Unit ed States Commissioner for the Hyder precinct, arrived Mon- day evening to take over the duties of his new position.
 Judge Fox needs no introduct- ion to the residents of Hyder, having been a prominent fig ure in First Division legal circles for years and also a resident of the camp for some months in 1923. During his long residence. in the district Judge Fox has held a number of important public positions, including that of U. s. Com- missioner for the Ketchikan precinct, one of the most diff cult positions of its kind in Alaska. He also officiated as acting Secretary of Alaska during an extended absence of the regular incumbent.
 As result of these earlier experiences Judge Fox brings to his new position a thorough understanding of the duties of the office. and the adminstrat- ion of public affairs in con- nection herewith that will be appreciated by all have busi- ness transactions with the Commissioners office.

NEW COMMISSIONER
 EDUCATION NAMED

Lester D. Henderson, Terri torial Commissioner of Edu- cation during the past 12 years has been busted from that position by the Board of Edu- cation in favor of Leo. w. Breuer, superintendent of the Cordova schools, according to reports from Juneau.
 Henderson was endorsed for reelection by 65 school dis tricts and communities and Governor Parks has announced that no charges had been filed either against Henderson or his department. Governor Parks and Senator Dunn voted to re-elect Henderson at the meeting of the Board, while Senators Steel, Anderson and Frame voted for Breuer, the reports say. Opposition to Hen- derson appeared to be mainly due to a desire for a change rather than to any lack of competence. One senator, de-  clared that his reason for sup. porting Breuer was that Hen- derson had been in office too long, although at the same time praising the efficiency of Henderson's administration.
 The new commissioner is a graduate of the Washington State Normal School and Uni versity of Washington and was formerly school superintend- ent at Bellingham, Wn., and at Nome, Alaska. The new incum- bent will assume office July 1, for a two-year term.

Mining and Industrial Rec ord (Vancouver) reports that Edward G. Brown, we'll known Vancouver mining man, has taken an option on the M. and J. Group in the Georgia River section and will develop the property for the shipment of high-grade copper ore to An yox. Operations will be con- ducted by a company known as the Ankh Copper Mining Company, Ltd. Samples across Is inches of the vein, which has been stripped for 500 feet on the surface, are said to have given assays of 121a per cent in copper.
 The property includes five claims and is located about 8 miles above the mouth of Georgia River and about 2 miles from the beach.

EASTER SUNDAY TOMORROW

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, observed in commemoration of the Savior's resurrection. Orig inally observed by the Jews to commemorate the Passover or Pesach, when ''the destroying angel passed over the houses of the children of Isreal, when he smote the Egyptians" it was gradually adopted by the Christian churches as a festi- val in commemoration of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The Jews observed Passover on the 14th day of Nissan, or the lunar month of which the 14th day falls on or next follows the day of the Vernal Equinox. There appears to have been some confusion among the early Christian churches as to what date to ob- serve, and the Council of Nice in 325 A. D. ordained that Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday which follows the full moon on or next after the Vernal Equinox. The Equi- nox is fixed as occurring on March 21, when as matter of fact it may come as early as March 19. If full moon occurs on March 21, and that date falls on Saturday, the next day, March 22 is Easter Sun day, which is the earliest it can occur. On the other hand, the first full moon after March 21
 may not occur until April 18, and if this date falls on a Sum day Easter is observed the following Sunday, or April 25, the latest it can occur.

RIVER PROTECTION BILL INTRODUCED
 OUTLOOK GOOD

The recent effort of the Fly der Chamber of Commerce to secure Territorial assistance in protecting the town from en- croachments of Salmon River, has eliminated in the intro duction of a bill in the lower house of the legislature pro- viding an appropriation of ST. 500 for the indicated purpose.
 The measure was introduced by Representative Grover c. Winn and was prepared joint ly by MT. Winn and U. s. Com missioner Arthur w. Fox be- fore MT. Fox left the capital city.
 Following his arrival here this week Judge Fox informed the Herald that prospects for the passage of the appropriat- ion bill appeared distinctly fav- orable at the time of his de- parture from Juneau. Repre- sentative Winn, who, is person ally cognizant of the local flood conditions as a, result of visits to the camp, will make every effort to secure favor able action on the bill and will doubtless receive the support of the rest of the First Divis- ion delegation.

PERRY CASE PROVOKES
 CLASH

A sharp clash between the presiding judge, E. Coke Hill, of the Third Division, and Howard D. Stabler, U. S. Dis trict Attorney for the First Di- vision, resulted in the govern ment's case against Mrs. Arge c'Nurse') Perry being contin- ued until the next term of court, according to witnesses who returned from Ketchikan last week.
 As will be recalled by Herald readers, Mrs. Perry was bound over to the District Court by U. s. Commissioner W. c. Arn- old in November, following her arrest here on charges of vio- lating the prohibition laws.
 witnesses state that Judge Hill refused to try the case on the ground that the search warrant used by the arresting officers was too old at the time of service. District Attor- ney Stabler is said to have strenuously objected to the decision and notified the judge that he would appeal from the ruling. The case was continued as a sequel to the controversy !; the defendant meanwhile be- ing allowed her liberty.

LEGISLATIVE MILL
 GRINDS SLOWLY

Late reports from Juneau dis close that the ninth biennial Alaska Legislature has dis played no tendency to hasten the progress of legislation. A few bills had been introduced in both houses up to the date of the last reports, March 22, but with few exceptions they have been of little importance and devoted principally to se- curing small appropriations for this and that worthy cause.
 The most important measure so far appearing is the new Controller bill introduced by Senator Steel and creating the office of Territorial Auditor, Treasurer and Board of Con- trol and defining their funct- ions. The measure bestows on the Auditor the present Ter ritorial duties vested in the of- flee of the Secretary of Alas ka and passes those now vest ed in the Governor to the. Board of Control. Both Audi tor and Treasurer are to be elected by popular vote at the general election in 1880, all though the first officials named are to be elected by the legislature if the bill becomes operative before final adjourn ment of the present session. In 5uch case the officials will hold their positions until Mch. 1, 1881, after which the term of office will be for four years in each case. The salary of the Auditor is fixed at $5,0O0 per year.
 The Board of Control is com posed of the Governor, chair man, Auditor, vice-chairman, and Treasurer and it's duties will be to run the Territorial government.
 Lack of space precludes full description of the bill at this time and further details will be given later. Among other measures introduced are a bill by Winn for a new general election law.
 The measure is a compilation of all existing Territorial stat utos on that subject, with possibly a few minor amend ments. Representative A. H. Zeigler has presented a bill making November II a legal holiday in Alaska.
 Continued financial aid to prospectors is provided by a bill introduced . by Senator Dunn directing each legislature to provide the necessary funds for this purpose. Re-enact- ment of the 1927 Workmen's Compensation Act is provided in a bill by Rep. Winn for the purpose of curing a defect in the original enactment. Of major importance, is the Steel School refund bill, fixing school refunds at 85 per cent in the case of schools with less than 45O students and 75 per cent where the number of pupils is 45O or more. It is eS- timated that the measure will increase school costs to the Territory by about $7O,O0O to $8O,00O each biennium.
 Bills have also been intro duced in both House and Sen ate providing for an increase of old-age pensions to $35 per month for men who arrived in Alaska prior to December 31, 1906.
