MEASURE
Commissioner

Commissioner Of Fisheries
Henry O. Malley states to the
Delegate that he has made it
riain to all interested persons
that the fish traps which were
temporarily closed in Alaska in
tie season Of 1881 must either be
closed permanently in 1882 or
Cperated by their owners. The
only exception is the case .!
traps between Luck Point and
Cape ChacOn. He further states
that If any Of the Companies de-
sire to close any traps Temporal
rily in the season Of 1882, other
than those which were Temporal
rily closed in 1881, favorable &C
ton would probably be taken
thereon. The War Department
has advised that it plans to con-
tinue the policy Of refraining
from requesting the surrender Of
eny permit. for an Alaskan fish
trap thus temporarily closed in

Republican Feud
Takes New ANGLE

The feud which broke out be-
tween Attorney General John
Rustgard and Walstein G. Smith,
Treasurer on one side as Board
Of Appeals and Auditor Cash
Cole on the other, took a new
a,ngle when the Juneau School
Board entered into the fight by
categorically denying the as
sertions Of the Auditor that the
claims for transportation Of
children to school were exhori-
tant.
Attorney Frank Foster was
delegated by the Attorney Cen
eral to institute suit to force
z m c Mt Of transportation
claims, along with claim of
Grover G. VIM for extra cleri-
cal services following the last
legislature. Mr.. Cole, in 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
office and bond which is in the
sum Of $4,000. Under the law
the auditor is held under bond
and is personally liable for any
r1alfeasance or misfeasance in
office and for knowingly paying
out territorial funds for claims
which he knows to be improper.
The Board took the view that
the Auditor had no right to go
back of the actions of the sew
etal agencies which might con-
tract territorial liabilities Ac-
ton OF tie Board of Appeals now
takes from the Auditor respon-
sibility for payment of unjust
claims against the territory.

PEARY PLANTED
FLAG AT POLE
e YEARS AGO
Explorers Negro COmpan-
ion VividIy Recalls Deed
on Its Anniversary.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, April 6.-Twenty-
three years ago today, at 10 a. m,
Admiral Robert E. Peary and his
Negro servant and companion, Matt
Henson, planted the American flag
at the north pole.
Today. at the New York custom
house where he is employed, Hen
son recalled the event wildly.
But now, he said, all the romance
has gone out of polar exploration,
what with airplanes and dirigibles
flying over the place.
They'll be running excursions up
there before long" he suggested.
Il have a very vivid recollection
of that day in 1909-tte day Ad-
miral Peary had looked for since
1895" Henson said. But we we're
so tired that perhaps the full i'm
portance Of the victory didn't
Strike home until afterward."
Party of Six Men
The Peary party consisted, in the
last stages of the gruleling battle
over snow and ice, of the six men,
with five sledges. and forty dogs,
the pick of the Smith sound tribe.
The pole was reached at 10 a. m.
on the morning of April 6. 1t was
located in the center of a vast sea
of floating ice. Pearys soundings
showed the Polar sea had a depth
of 5000 feet.
Psychologists, interested in the
reactions of an explorer at the mo-
ment of his triumph. asked him
how he felt that day.
Couldn't Realize 1t
THE accumulated WEAKNESS of
those days and nights of forced
marches" he said, insufficient
sleep, constant peril and anxiety,
seemed to roll across me all at
once. I actually was too exhausted
to realize at the moment that my
life's purpose had been achieved"
He wrote sin his diary, after a
few hours sleep:
THE pole at last The prize of
three centuries. My dream and
goal for twenty years, Mine at lastl
can not bring myself to realize
it. Tt seems all so simple and so
commonplace"
Although the discovery was made
in April, it was not until September
that Peary and his expedition
emerged from the Arctic to pro-
claim their success-and to meet the
disappointment and rage occasioned
by DR.. Frederick Cooks hoax.
And it was not until the falsity
of Cooks claims had been estab-
lished, and even the European ma
tions grudgingly had admitted
Peary's claims, that the United
States hesitantly paid Peary the
/ honor due him.

Mccormick was the first sec

commission and uperintendent
and custodian of the ensigns and
he promises to be the only one
during his life.
He was appointed to the job
Jan. 9. 1909. Members of the COM
mission have changed over the
years and with the Governors,
but the major goes on, day in and
day out.
TINE flags encased in the state

died six years ago, backed up each
tattered emblem with wool bunt-

Because of the majors knowl-

Honor, given by the United States
Flag Association.
The cross, although a private
decoration, is a priced possession.

the second to be decorated.
