Game Commission
 Changes Regulations

In a resolution adopted by th5 Commission, it is pointed out that there is an inequality in the various districts in that the northern districts have longer hunting season than the south ern districts; that the supply of game birds is increasing in the northern and western breeding grounds and the open seasons are in adequate as applied this year. They therfore recommend that there be no further curtail- ment of seasons without the re : cOmmendatiOns of the commiS- sion. And further endorse open seasons according to the Fur Districts.
 Sweeping changes are promis- cd in the realignment of Fur Districts owing to complaints from trappers in the various sections. Discrepancies have oc- cured in establishing these sea- sons and in some instances these have been corrected.
 The new Game Law Circular No. 9 will be printed and made available early in 1882 and mail ed to various agencies for dis tribution. They may be procured from the Game Commission ol (agents and licensing officers iE the various towns.

Federal Attorneys
 Enter Land Case

w. F. Staley, representing the J. s. Department Of Agriculture arrived in Juneau last week to cooperate with the District A. torney on behalf of the Forest Service to enjoin William Mur- rhy and others from retaining their inherent possessions at Aux Bay Village, south of Ju- neau on the Highway. The case is set to begin on the 18th of tliis month. Attorneys Foster and Grigsby are representing the Indian defendants.
 The TO acres or more land in- volved was the old village site of the Aux people for generations. While apparently abandoned, the Indians still maintain gar dens on the spot. Several years ago, the Forest Service appro- rriated the lands without due process and turned it into a city park for Juneau citizens. Last summer Murphy and others were ordered from the gounds when they began to build cabins and gardens. The case went int court on temporary injunction proceedings which were issued by Judge Harding pending trial.

Need Medical Aid
 At Ketchikan

Probably a third of the native population Of the Territory is in the Ketchikan district. This fact coupled with statistics which chow a high mortality rate a. mcng these natives, particular lv from tuberculosis, wa,s cited at the regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce recently by Dr. R. V. Ellis.
 It was the contention of Dr. Ellis that if these data are sub a2ittod to the neWly-appointed medical director for Alaska, Dr. Frank s. Fellowes, when he visits Ketchikan there is a possibility that beneficial results will follow.
 President J. A. Talbot an- nounced that he would advise the committee under the chair manship Of Judge w. c. Arnold, previously appointed to study the situation, to assemble the neces- sary facts and figures for pre- sentation to Dr. FelloWes, who is making his headquarters in Ju- neau. He has charge of all the medical work among the Alaskan natives.
 There has been considerable agitation in Ketchikan for the establishment of a government hospital to care for the many cases of illness among the na- tives in this district.-ChronciIe

Republican Feud
 Takes New Angle

The feud which broke out be.
 tween Attorney General Johr Rustgard and Walstein c Smith
 Treasurer on one side as Board of Appeals and Auditor Cash
 Cole on the other, took a new angle when the Juneau School Board entered into the fight by categorcally denying the a5- Isertions of the Auditor that the claims for transportation of children to school were exhor:- tant.
 Attorney Frank Foster was delegated by the Attorney Gen ' Ieral to institute suit to force F aym e nt of transDortatioa Claims, along with claim of Grover c. Winn for extra clerI- cal services following the last legislature, MT. Cole, in a signed statement to the Board advised that Board that he would abide by their ruling but places full responsibility for such action upon them That his ruling had been made in protection of his Cftice and bond which is in tho sum of $25,000. Under the law the auditor is held under bond and is personally liable for any r1alfeasance CT nlisfeasance in cff1ce and for knowingly paying out territorial funds for claims which he knows to be improper. The Board took the view that the Auditor had 10 right to 90 back of the actions of the sev~ etal agencies which might con- tract territorial liabilities Ac- tion of the Board of Appeals now takes from the Auditor respon- sibility fer payment of unjust claims against the territory.
 The feud which has broken out in the Republican circles in Juneau augers well for a com plete victory of the Democrats in the primary and general cleo tions. Unless National Commit teeman Lathrop is able to patch up the differences and to bring harmony into the warning folds of Republicanism, the party might just as well fold up their banners and put them away for they will enjoy the most stinging defeat in the history of Alaska politics in the next elections. And from present indications 1t does not appear that the Com mitteeman will be able to func~ tion in his office as he should.

ARLINGTON HAS
$4,000 TAX
SHORTAGE
Plans $4,000 Water Main
To Cover Situation Caused
BY Drought of Summer

ARLINGTON, Va, Jan. 16.
With the treasurer's report show
ing that more than $160,O00 had
been spent by Arlington county
during the past year in extend
ing water mains into drought
stricken sections of the county
and with the water fund almost
depleted, the board of supervisors,
at it's meeting yesterday, gave
over most of their session to
what is described as a water
crisis in the county.
The most serious problem fac
ing the board is the financing
of the additional water main
which must be constructed across
the Potomac this fall. Engineers
of the War Department, the
source of Arlington's water sup
ply, place the cost of the new
supply main at $4,000, and with
the hundreds of additional tap
person to the county water SyS1
TEN since summer, its conStruc-
tion is recognized as a necessity
unless Arlington is to face again
q water shortage this summer.
Another problem is presented
in the collection of water taxes.
1t was pointed out at yesterdays
meeting that of $35, 900 taxes due
January l, only $4,000 has been
collected.
While the board expressed itself
as being averse to a policU Of cut
ting off the water, it is felt that
such a step must be resorted to
in view of the present lack Of
funds.
