BY JOHN ]. DAILY.

Buried in vault In the Treasury
is a check for $7,2oo,0oo, once used to
purchase Alaska
~ Now Alaska wants this check for q
museum piece.
1T takes a search warrant and q
writ Of habeas corpus, or something
like that, to get glimpse of this his
toric check" Anthony J. Dimond.
Delegate from Alaska, said today.
What we want to do is take that
check up to Juneau, put it on exhibit
in the Territorial Library and Museum
and let the boys and girls have q
look at 1t. Such a document will
prove to the people of Alaska that
Uncle Sam must have thought a lot
Of them, to put up that much money"
To accomplish his purpose Delegate
Dimond introduced bill in the House
which would turn this check over to
the Territory of Alaska With only a
minor objection the bill passed, and
now has gone to the Senate.
Many of tie Representatives who
took part in the, discussion really be-
lieved the check was on exhibit here

all over the country" Not one of them
ever saw the check.
This check was made out in the
administration of President johnson,
shortly after the Civil War. Alaska,
formerly called Russian America, was
purchased by the treaty signed March
80, 1867, and the check was actually
made out and delivered to the Rus
sian negotiators at Sitka on October
l8, 1867-when the final transfer was
made.
II there is anybody who thinks the
territory to the north was not worth
the purchase price, Delegate Dimond
would like to meet that person in
debate. The value Of products ex-
ported from and imported into Alaska
from 1867 until January l Of this year
makes quite formidable showing,
even when only round numbers are
used.
For instance, the total business done
by the fisheries alone in that time
amounted to $1,073 3,929,e07. Other
totals are: Furs, $126,646,165; gold,
$427 1898, ,46s; mineral production,
$704, 1894 exports, 1896, ,748, ,435;
imports, $o92,s44,O00.
Put a $7,2o0,00o check up against
those figures and Mr.. Dimond believes
Alaska proves its own case.

Major Blow at JenCkes
Measure.

The Commissioners today delivered
the first major blow at the bill of
Representative Jenckes, Democrat. of
In the Fire Department bill which
special subcommittee of the District
Committee plans to subject to public
hearings Wednesday at 1890 am.
Reporting unfavorably on the pro-
posed legislation, the Commissioners
pointed out the plan would require 207
additional firemen and increase the ex-
penses of the Fire Department Sab
900 the first year. For the next five
years, the Commissioners said, the eX-
penses would pyramid above that fig
ure at the rate of $4,000 a year as
firemen became eligible to salary PR =
motions based on length of service.
The Commissioners also objected to
the bills discrimination against the
Police Department. If f1remen are
put on a five-day week, they declared,
members of the Police Department
should receive the same treatment.

diction over credit unions in the Dis
trict from the Commissioners and
controller of the currency to the Farm
Credit Administration. was approved
by the Commissioners today in re-
port to the House District Committee.

the Commissioners said, leads to con-
fusion. Better supervision can be

Agency, which administers similar
agencies throughout the country.

lumbia Heights Citizens Association,

man Palmisano of the House District
Committee that the District is vio-
lating the law by failing to assess
certain property at full valuation.
"A careful investigation" Swanton
said, disclosed the population of the
District had increased "a per cent in
the last four years and that the as
sessed value of land and improve
ments have been substantially re-
duced.
I'm the case of large number of
apartments he declared, "the re-
duction has averaged IA per cent on
land and per cent on buildings. I
have not heard of any corresponding
reduction in rents"
SWanton suggested full-value as
sessment might avert an increase In
