A Live Division
That the people of the Second divis
ion are keenly aware of the needs of
remedial legislation is evidenced by the
fact that the legislators from that
camp, who have just arrived in Fair- :
banks ou their way to the capital, are
taking with them to Juneau a lengthy
list of the proposed chauges and ad- J
ditions to the various Alaska codes.
The copies of the proposed acta Uameu
datory of the codes of Alaska and for
other purposes" were prepared by the
Nome Bar association, and while there
are one or two of the proposed meas
ures which do not appeal to the Times, :
the list, as a whole, shows that the
Nomeites have given the matter con-:
siderable thought, and that they hoped
to make of the legislature more than ;
the toy it has been described by those
opposed to home rule.
The lawmakers elect from the Seward
peninsula are going to Juneau firmly
convinced of the tei iuusneos of their
mission, and we feel safe in assuring
the people oi Tanana that they can
depend on the Xotneiles to work as
hard for ? he intei e*ts of this division
as they will ior those of the Second.
They recognize the fact that what is
good lor Fairbanks also is good for
Nome, and vice versa, and they will en
ter the legislature iuily resolved to co
operate with the members from this,
and the other division* for the good of ,
the whole of A!at>ka. ? Fairbanks Times.
Again the government will appropri
ate $12,000 for the suppression of the
liquor traffic among the natives of
Alaska. It ?hi-- were nil of the cost
there would be little cause for com
plaint, but with courts and juris9 work
ing on Indian liquor cases more than
half the time the expense- becomes
many times greater than the 3i- jjmal
appropriation; Under the present} elab
orate syateui men taken fram their
homes ami made to serve month after
month on these tiresome casss,. ce:?
tainly pay a part of the cast..
Now that the voloauio ash thuC was*
!
belched forth from old Mount KaCmuii
has been fouud to be valuable,, ,vb?' in>
the world don't the conserve ionises- get
busy?.
Fairbanks rejoices over being mad? a?
sub-port of eutiy,. which app9ars to be
all they will get out o?it,.foi* <SoHectar?
Willis says it's uot so;
