Tubercular Annex At Juneau Ready

The new tubercular annex of the Indian Bureau hospital a0 Juneau has capacity of 28 bed, and will be reserved strictly fo.' T. B. cases. This is only a small percentage of the necessary nun Ter of beds for tubercular cases so the management requests that no one send a case of tubercl- loSis to the hospital without first making arrangements. It has been the embarrassing and un- pleasant duty of the doctor in charge to have to refuse admis- sion to patients who have gone to Juneau without making ne cessary arrangements ahead of time. So Dr. w. J. B. McAuliffe, hysician in charge is making the request that unless arrange ments have been made for en- france, no tubercular patients should be sent to Juneau.
 Address all communications to Dr. w. J. B. McAuliffe, Physician in Charge, Juneau Government Hospital, Juneau.

Bill Provides For
 Primary System

Senator Richard Sundquist o1
 Nome has introduced a bill to take care of the primary vote in Alaska. He proposes to have ] general primary to replace the the party system now in vogue.
 The bill would place the names of all candidates upon the same ballot followed by their party de- signation and the two securing the highest number of votes to be declared nominees regardless of party afflliation. Further, an / candidate receiving more than 60 per cent of the total vote cast for any office sought shall be the only one to get his narle on the official ballot in the gen eral election but this would not operate to prevent the writing in of any other names desired.
 Senator Sundquist further proposes to provide for a special primary election of party offic- CTS, including national commit teeman and delegates to the na-1 l tional conventions.

Speaker Longworth
 Buried In Ohio

Last Thursday Nicholas Long worth, Speaker of the House e. Representatives died after a short illness of pneumonia. Mrs Longworth hurried from Wasl.- ington to Aiken, sc, and was at his bedside when death took him.
 Speaker Longworth was one of a triumvirate which ruled the House with an iron hand and had he lived would have been in one of the greatest political battles of his life to hold the Speakershlp. A conservative Republican, he supported all party measures and in the last Congress was responsible fo. The defeat of the Norris "Lame Duck" law and had much to do With defeating the Muscle Shoals bill for several years. Opposing the Soldiers Bonus ne later about faced and per sonally carried the battle on the floor to secure passage of the Dill.
 He leaves his daughter Paul. me and Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth to mourn his death

The sinking of the boat extinguished the fire and the extent of the damage is not yet known.

Graduated Tax
 On Trap Fish

An old bill advocated for sev- eral years by the ALASKAN and ALASKA FISHERMAN is again before the legislature, without even a new dress suit.
 { Representative Donnelly asks that there be a basic tax of $10Q on all traps, including dummies: an additional tax of $2 per thou Ts,nd fish caught over -,t00 to .J0,000; $4 over 100,Gtr Ash II; to 15O,O00; $6 for 150,OO. tc 20 : and $8 for all over $40 i,0OC. The proposal would go in. effect as 1t January 1, 1882
 We Are Reminde'
 That a couple of years ago, this identical was before the Legislature. William L. Paul was author of it and it was de- clared to be a radical" meas ure. MT. Schoenwa1d, manager If Petersburg Packing Co.,, in a public meeting here, declared all kinds of calamity would be- fall the industry if the bill pass ed.
 It is pointed out by canner3 themselves that the one per cent tax on mining income over $500. 100 is a discrimination in favor of the mines. The caner must pay his tax regardless of wheth- CT he is making a dollar profit or is in the red $5O0,000.
 Small operators declare that with the present trap tax at a pasiv figure of $50, the man who catches few fish pays out of pro- portion in comparison with the trap which catches many fish The graduated system with a basic tax of $100 is declared tc be the only fair method.
 The argument advanced by canners against it is that the canners are overtaxed now.

Council to Govern
 Reindeer Industry

The result Of the hearings or
 reindeer management in Alas ka held by a Senate Committea places control of the industry in , the hands of Governor George A. Parks, chief, one representa- tive of the Eskimo herders, one from the Lomen interests, and one from the Indian Bureau. , They will make range rules, de- velop markets, appoint govern ment supervisors and order early roundupS of the reindeer on the Seward Peninsula.
 One of the Senators likened conditions in the reindeer coun- try to that of the early cattle Cays in Texas. Texas was bad country for cattle rustlers until the Texas Rangers cleaned i5 up. A very bad failing of lot of the Texas cattlemen was the branding Of mavericks and re hranding cattle. And this pic ! ture was aptly drawn by the Els Eimo herders.
 Whats the Matter
 The permit allowing the Alas ka Livestock and Packing O., to sell securities in Washington has been revoked andn suspend | cd by c. H. Bowen, supervisor of licenses at Olympia, Wn.
 The livestoo4 company hasi been given ten days to appear and show cause why their li-; ccnse to sell stock should not be- revoked. '
 This company is a subsidiary , the Loman Reindeer Cor ] pcration and the Arctic Packingi Company. The suspension Of their license to sell stock in the state of Washington is the re- ault of a study of the congre5- Gional Investigation into the reindeer industry in Alaska. ]:

 lures and makes eleotive by the parties concerned, aooption of the terms of the law
 Amendments to the original bill remov the compulsory fea- lures and make elective the pro- visions of the law by the parties concerned, adoption of the law.
 An amendment also attached by Representative zic};ler pro vides that the law shs~.l not be to marrie,. persons not living together tn, ugh mar ried, unless they havt resumed marital bliss and one of them has filed notice of acceptance of the act as in other Instances.
 Representative Boyle amend cd the bill over opposition O. yhe women's clubs classifying personal property and exempt from provisions of the law, al. unratented mining claims, fish trap sites and fish traps.
 Representative Boyle, the nor,a champion of democracy now declares to the world that fish trap sites and fish trap lOca tions are personal property, ne g1ting the principle of the Mag na Charta which has governed n2vigable water since the days of King John of England.
 The Alexander Bill failed of passage in Congress because of it's property features and every other bill has been defeated which would give property righ to navigable waters. Repre- sentative Boyle, with the stroke If the pen, sweeps aside the rights protected these many years and opens up new avenues of control of Alaskans affairs by the cannery political ma chine.
