PROFITS.

The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has reinforced the request of the Territorial Legislature that hall of the proceeds from the Pribilof Islands seal herds be given Alaska Alaska can well make this request without apology It is just and reasonable
 Under the seal treaty of 1911, IS per cent Of the proceeds from the seal-herds to Great Britain The latter country has turned the whole sum over to Canada and Canada, in turn, has given it to British Columbia. The British and Canadian claim on the seal-herds rests in the fact that the seals migrate northward through the waters of British Columbia and, before the treaty, many seals were taken by the residents of that Province. Once upon a time the seal herds provided thriving business to seafarers of Puget Sound and the British Co., lumbia and Alaska coasts. Not only that but the Prbilof Islands are in Alaska. Alaska ought. as a matter of fact, to get much more than one-half of the profits from the herds. The United States ought to be as generous to this Territory as Great Britain and Canada to British Columbia.

 If there is any disposition on the part of the Junior Moose to dispute the claim of the Junior Elks, Irving Hagerup of the Junior Elks' team says they are willing to play additional games.
 The Junior Moose would have to win two more games to tie for the title and three games to win it.
 They couldn't possibly do 1t, declares young Hagerup.
