 Complaint has been made br some of the shipbuilding compan- ies in Southeast Alaska that con- struction of government vessels frequently goes to Seattle. which makes it difficult to maintain the several marine ways in the north, which are so badly needed in cases of emergency. The particular in- stance cited was the recent bids for furnishing two 24-foot launch- eS for use at isolated light sta- tions, and for which the successful bidder in Seattle was less than S200 under the next lowest bidder from Alaska. G. R. Putnam, Com missioner of Lighthouses, explains that there is no legal authority for acceptance of other than the low est bid meeting the requirements of the specifications, which in the instance referred to stipulated that delivery of the launches should be at Ketchikan. Section 3707 of the Revised Statutes of the U. S.. has frequently been held by ac- counting officers as giving all in- dustries equal rights to compete for government business, and at the same time secure to the gov ernment the benefits which flow from competition.

Sheldon Jackson, general agent of the Bu- reau of Education. Capt. Siem was a prominent character during the early days of the Nome devel- opment, and lived in various sec- tions of the Territory until about fifteen years ago, when he came to Washington and died here at the age of II years.
