About the only thing that the people
of the First division can really expect

rious accident to Manager J. Bjorge, ol
the Columbia & Northern, whose eye.s

lieved his sight will be saved.

The Cordova railroad has been c)psed
down until the repairs to the roadbed
and the bridges can be made. The re
cent high water washed away parts ol
a number of bridges, and for 20 miles
the road is under water. In most of the
places the water was slack and little
of the railroad grade was washed
away. In other localities, however, the
road was carried away. It will be sev
eral weeks before the road is in opera
tion.
The difficulty of communication be
tween interior Alaska and the capital
at the time of the legislative sessions
suggests the proposition that no law
should be en&cted and become opera
tive until after a succeeding session ol
the legislature at which it was first
considered. This would give full op
portunity for all citizens to become
acquainted with contemplated changes
In the law, nnw prevent the springing
