Tbe robber entered the store and walked brskly towards the counter and then, observing GUS .olner who had previously been hid den from his sight, left without say .ng a word. MT Dunham's curiosity was aroused, not only by his actions then but by the fact that he had seer the man passing the store several times previously. He thought noth- ing more about it. however, and wait ed on the customer and another .Wht entered shortly afterwards. It WAS about ten minutes ater, when .-Mr
 Durham was alone, that the robber

One provides for the issuing of $100,000 in bonds by the municipality of Petersburg for the necessary improvements to the cleo tric light and power plant, water sys- tenn and the retirement of S35,00O in outstanding bonds.

 In answer to some complaints that certain sections of Alaska were not accurately reported in the recent cen sus enumerations Director Stewart looked into the particular complaints and found some of the names record ed that were supposed to be missing. Among other things, the director says in recent letter: "The Bureau of the Census makes every effort to take a complete and accurate census, and we are satisfied that the supervisor of Alaska did everything in his power to have every indicidual in the Terri cory enumerated at the census of 1880. It often happens that persons who claim they were not interviewed by the enumerator are included in the
 
 census, because the information con- cernin gthem was obtained from q person other than themselves"
 The Postmaster General in his an- nual report states that on June 3O, 1881, mails were carried in Alaska under authorizations of the Depart ment of 68 star routes, covering a distance of II ,784 miles, The appro- priation for the service for the year was S175, ,000. The estimated expend- itures were S144,2S6. The Postmas- ter General says: Due to the limit ed transportation facilities and the climatic conditions in Alaska, the cost of mail transportation is high, and it is believed that an improved service at no greater cost could be secured by the use of airplanes for the carriage of all classes of mails over certain

 About thirty residents of Grantley Harbor have sent petition to the Delegate asking the Government to improve the harhor and build suitable roads into the interior of Seward Pe- ninsula, so that transportation costs might be reduced.
 Major Ellitt, district engineer for Alaska, made a report favoring the requested harbor improvements, at Petersburg through the proper dredging, so that the passenger steamers and smaller craft could tie up at the docks during all tides.

Government took part in this pro- gram, establishing stations at Point Barrow, Alaska, and Fort Conger, Ellesmere Island. The program to be carried out this year contemplates establishing s45 stations in the Arctic region and 5 in the Antarctic, with {, nearly thirty stations participating. < It is expected that the United States z. will occupy station in Alaska near t Fairbanks, and also the station on Eilesmere Island. Senator Fess has introduced bill in Congress for an appropriation of $30,000, to insure participation, and this has the in dorsement of President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson. This money vii be expended for magnetic work at Fairbanks as follows 1n struments and equipment, SS,oO0; buildings, $5,80O; travel and trans portatlon, $1,01O; personnel, S12,190; compilation and publication, $3,000.
 The Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce is giving evidence of it's prac- tical interest in Alaska by writing and urging members in Congress from California to lend assistance to defeat the bill submitted by the De- partment of Justice to combine the Second or Nome judicial division with the Fourth or Fairbanks division and thus do away with one set of im- portant offic ials. Some of these mem- bers have indicated to the Delegate that they will assist him in defeating the bill, on the ground that there would be practically little economy as a result of the consolidation and it would tend to disoragnize the present satisfactory arrangement of the courts in Alaska.
