SENATE DECIDES
ELECTION
In view of the discussion concern
Ing Judge Hubhard and the contest
over his sent In the Alnska Senate at
shown In the nrtlcle quoted from the
Juneau Empire the Seward flntewny
asked Senator Hay his opinion as tc
whether the Courts would be called on
to decide the matter. President Ray
stated that the Alaska Sennte had the
exclusive right to Judge ns to the quali
fications of Its own members. That
this right was universally recognized
and that the Hubbard contest would
be heard by a committee of the sen
nte, named for such purpose; that the
question upon which the senate would
vote, would be the adoption or rejec
tion of the report of lts contested
election committee. Mr. Ray further
stated that as he understood the mat
ter no question was made as to the
ability of Mr. Hubbard and that his
qualifications ns to superior mental
capacity was well recognized. The
law provides—"The Senate shall con
sist of eight members,—each of whom
shall hnve nt the time of his election
the qualifications of an elector In
Alaska, and shall have been a resident
and an Inhabitant In the division from
which he Is elected for at least two
years prior to the dato of his election."
You will note the use of both the
words Resident and an Inhabitant. "I
understand” says Mr. Ray "from the
umpire article senator Millard be
lieves Judge Hubbard not to possess
the necessary two year's qualifications
and takes the stand that Mr. Hubbard
Is in the same position ns most other
men alleged to be carpet baggers. I
know nothing of the merits of the con
ments made by those opposed Hop
Iroversy other than general state
ments made by those opposed politi
cally to Hubbard, in Valdez; first, that
Judge Hubbard's family hnd not re
sided in Alaska for more than five
years; second, that Mr. Hubbard
maintained a residence and an office
in Chicago for more than two years
prior to November, 1914; and third,
that Mr. Hubbard has arrived and re
turned to Alaska In August <1914.
Personally, I can see but one ground
for such a contest, and that is the
desire of all true Alaskans to condemn
cnrpet bng rule, and to themselves
elect to office only those clearly resi
dents and inhabitants for the required
period of two years. Prom m|y
knowldge of the members of the com
ing Alaska Senate I am frank to say
iiO| political lines will be drawn, and
the voters of the Third Division will
be satisfied with whatever action is
taken In the Hubbard contest, should
such n contest be Instituted."

GOAL CASES MAY
SOON BE DISPOSED Of
' - j
News thnt final settlement of most ;
of the Alaskan coal rases hns been i
had. may be expected within a short
time.
It Is raid that some cases will be i;
held open at the instance of the einlm- $
ants. •:
It Is provided in the Alaska coal •:
leasing law thnt a claimant whose
claim Is pending may relinquish, and, 1
In the discretion of the Secretary of
the Interior, receive back the purchase
money of $10 an acre which he paid.
A number of such applications to re
llnquish are already on file, among
the applicants being nearly al$ the
claimants In the Frost group. In the
Mntnnuska fields. Other Claimants
hnve Indicated that they would like
no final ruling until they had made
up their minds whether to offer to
relinquish.
Hut there nre some claimants who,
strongly convinced of the justice of
their claims, are standing pat. They “
insist on going through to a decision. S
It is broadly hinted at the office of 8
the commissioner of the general land :j:i
office that these claimants are taking
chances. Should their claims be can- jij:
celled, It is pointed out, cancellation ijij
nilgi.t fce construed as taking these
claims out of the classification ‘‘pend- :•:]
ing" and leave no chance whatever of
the claimant getting back his money. :jj!
There is ground for believing thnt jij:
very few, if any, claims will be al- |§
lowed, save the one claim In the T.
I*. McDonald group, the Seattle claim, :jj
In the Bering field, patent to which *
is now practically assured.
Commissioner Tallman said that
field examination and the taking of
testimony in all of the cases is now
practicnly closed and the cases made
up.
-: o:-i
made by the Department of the inter
ior in relation to ttie alternate 80-rod
strips reserved by the government
along the shores of navigable waters
in Alaska, which was recently re
ceived by Surveyor General Charles
K. Davidson, in a communication from
the commissioner of the general land
office, there is a tendency toward abol
ishing the provisions of the act. The
statement was made in passing on a
case involving the location of an old
pioneer who settled on land which
subsequently was included In one of
the alternate 80-rod reservations, and
reads as follows: “
"From the frequent presentation of *
question arising under this provision
the department concludes that it is
generally thought In Alaska by those
interested in its development, that the
further enforcement of this provision
will not be conducive to the host in
terests of the community or the gen
eral public, for the reason that,in its
operation It excludes front any use too I
large a portion of lands lying along 1
navigable waters. Tills view doubt 1
less finds much support In the chang- ♦
ing conditions now confronting the ter 1
ritory, that demand greater opportu- t
ulties of development, in spaces now i
reserved, and of which no use b i J
made, or possible under existing law. 4
This objection, however, to the said J
provision I think would be overcome :
by adding hereto the following: j
‘But the President may, for suf- *
flclent. cause shown, and with due
regard for the purpose and Intent
of this proviso, restore any por- j
tion of lands thus reserved to *
appropriation after not less than
thirty days public notice.’ ”
Little by little the provisions of
the law arc being set aside, as the
department becomes acquainted with
the actual workings Oi' the law. Imme
diately upon assuming his duties, Stir
veyor Den oral Charles R. Davidson
called the attention of the department
to tlie injustices of the provisions and
pointed ou that the operations of the
law defeated the very ends It sought
to obtain by its passage. The first
decision in line with removing the dis
abilily of the law's provisions was in
■ securing the freeing of mineral looa
■
I ttons that happened to be a part of
j tho reserved 80-rod strips. Now it
seeane that fur her lands are to be
freed so that they ntny besomo of
use instead of being held tu idleness.
