warrant for $1,400,000 was the war rant for the purchase of Alaska, the warrant for $5,8O0,000 was for Rus sias expenses in her naval demon stration in our behalf, but history only knows the fact that the Unit- ed States paid $7,200,000 for this territory, which is now demonstrat- ed to be one of the richest portions of the earth in mineral deposits"
 The check used for this dual pur- pose, which, on enactment of the bill introduced by Delegate Dimond has been transferred to the Cover nor of Alaska to be placed in the Territorial Library and Museum at Juneau, should have increased in- terest for those who view it there in the knowledge that in addition to purchasing the Territory it also set tied a moral obligation of the Gov ernment arising out of the Civil War.

A REAPPORTIONED LEGISLATURE
By A. w. FOX Guest Editorial Writer

There is a growing opinion in the Territory that there should be reapportionment of the represen- taton in the local Legislature The present assign ment of the several Divisions has been outgrown' whether considered from the viewpoint of population or tax production. It never equitable; but we somehow got along with it and in spite of it. Espec- ally in spite of it.
 The Senate of the Alaska Legislature consists of 8 members, 2 from each of the Divisions, and the House of Representatives consists of l6 members, 4 from each Division.
 Roughly the U. s. Census of 1930 shows popula- ton in Alaska, whites and Indians, of 60000 59278) Taking 6OO00 basis and dividing that number by B. there is 1 member of the Senate to every 75OO n- habtants Dividing 60oOO by 16 gives member of the House of Representatives to every 3750 inhabitants The population of the four Divisions of the Territory according to the Census separately stated with pro- posed reapportionment is follows:

I never knew until some years later, when I learned the story from Sen ator Dawes, who said that prior to the war, there had been some ne- citations between the United States and Russia for the purchase of AL aska, and the price of $1, 100000 was agreed upon. In fact this was the amount that Russia asked for this great territory, which was regarded as nothing more than barren field of ice.
 During the war the matter lay dormant. We had more territory than we could take care of. When England, however, began to mani- fest her friendly disposition toward the Confectionery, and we learned from Europe that England and France were carrying on negotia- tions for the recognition of the Southern States, and possibly of some manifestation by their fleets against the blockade which we had instituted, (and which they claimed was not effective and merely paper blockade), we looked about for a friend, and Russia was the only European country upon whose friendship we could rely. Thereupor Secretary Seward secured from Rus sia demonstration, in American ports, of Russian friendship. Hel lships of war sailed to both of oul coasts, the Atlantic and Pacific with the understanding that the ex. pense of this demonstration should be met by the United States, out O the contingent fund It was to be ; secret matter.
 How It Was Done
 "The war came to a close, and i'm mediately thereafter Lincoln wa assassinated and the administration changed. It was no longer possible to pay for this demonstration, SC cretly, under the excuse of war, bu way was found for paying Russi; through the purchase of Alaska, tn

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpep'

i WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Il, 1887 ! This is not an important day in planetary direction, according to as- trology. It is, however, ill-omened for speculation.
 1 Banking affairs are under a fa- vorable sway in the morning It is an suspicious date for settling old accounts and adjusting financial matters.
 l Astrologers long have stressed the importance of keeping ones prop erty in investments where there is least risk and in a condition easily convertible into cash. Many sudden fluctuations in stocks and bonds may be expected within the next few months, it is fore told. Amazing and unexpected events will affect international fi- nance.
 While this is fortunate day for l shipping and the rule of the stars should benefit the navy, accidents or misadventures are presaged. The seers long have prognosti- 'cated perils on the high seas which may precipitate war, but they stress Ipersistently sudden events that are only vaguely foreseen and have the element of surprise. Persons who exercise power over human destiny today are under a stimulating and energizing plane tary influence. This configuration may influence rulers, generals and |admirals.
 Diplomats in two countriees will lose caste before the end of the month, owing to circumstances of great importance to the preserva- ton of civilized institutions, it is foretold.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of great suc- cess and popularity. Women may expect social prominence.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly anxious to attain distinction in whatever vocation they may choose. These subjects of Leo usually reach the goals to which they aspire.
 Robert G. Ingersoll, lawyer and orator, was born on this day 1633 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Clifford Pinchot, Governor, 1865; Hobart Bosworth, actor, 1867.

great bulk of the taxes come from. It would make for greater economy in spending and general satis- faction if population and sources of taxation were more fully recognized. Both in population and tax production the First and Third Divisions clearly entitled to larger representation.
 Apropos of reapportionment too, which is of course, involved the people of Alaska at the next general election apparently to be asked to choose between unicameral legislature and the present bcameral - in plain English between one House legislature and two-House legislature. This an of-shoot presumably of the controversy in the Senate over the Supreme Court and other matters In that controversy the Senate became most objec- tionable. We'll uncameral legislature is something new and many people will find the idea attractive on the principle that in Alaska half legislature may be better than whole one and fourth of one might be better still This, of course, is the hardboiled view In the meantime of course the interest is in where it's members from whether it be unicameral or bicameral

The decimals as factors, of course are interesting but superfluous Actually the number of senators ana representatives should not exceed to each 7,500 and 375O inhabitants respectively; and, by the way the population of Alaska has hardly varied at all in the past six or seven years This would reduce the num- Der of senators from 8 to and the membership of the House of Representatives from Is to IA Two other senators and two other representatives might be elected large to make up these differences, so that the size of the Senate and House would remain the same

THE BASIC ISSUE

In the controversy over the Japanese fishing Bristol Bay the point has been made that the Japane government did not know or approve of Japane ishing vessels in that area. Perhaps they did n' Ind it makes no material difference, the major poi whether they are going to sanction such operatio n the future
 Commenting recently on this phase of the que ion the Seattle Post-Intelgencer makes this pon
 The chairman of the board of the Associa- tion of Pacific Fisheries, H B. Friele leading figure in the exposure of the menace of Jap anese fishing in Alaska believes that the Jap anese government did not know that its na- tionals were taking salmon off the Alaska coast and acted in good faith in assuring this government that their operations were limited to crab and bottom fishing.
 This government has also had experiences with citizens who cheat little upon occasion Certainly the abrupt departure of the Japan csc fishing vessels before our state depart ment representative had an opportunity Tor a first hand investigation of their operations, has suspicious appearance.
 If it is true that the Japanese government was imposed upon it has clear duty to per- form
 There should be frank acknowledgement that it has been deceived by its own fishing interests and effective steps should be taken to see that the offense is not repeated.
 The United States government must not let matters drop with this.
 The main point at issue is not whether the Japanese fishermen imposed upon their government or even whether their operations this year were sufficient to interfere materi- ally with American salmon fisheries.
 The fundamental issue is whether the Jap anese government intends, now or hereafter, to countenance its vessels being sent across the Pacific to prey upon an industry built up and preserved by the expenditures of the United States.
 The only satisfactory settlement will be complete and authoritative recognition of the fact that the protection that our government has given the North Pacific fisheries must not be broken down by any alien exploitation
