Tin* election is over nml the vic
torious are girding up lln-ir loins
preparatory to assuming the duties
of their offices. The retiring council
leaves unsolved to the new officers
several knotty problem*—
1st. How to spend two dollars
on a one dollar income. I>»» it to
satisfaction of each and every citi
len without running the town into
debt.
2d. How to iix the dog tax ami
prevent horses running at large,
to the satisfaction of ti»e town peo
ple who do not own these animals,
without incurring the enmity of
those who do.
3d. How to make the knights
of the green doth anti the ladies of
easy virtue contribute to the ex
pense of the bnrg without their
knowing anything about it and
registering any forcible remarks
against the proceedings.
4th. How to improve all the
streets and sidewalks in tire city at
the same time, to the same extent,
and without expense to the proper
ty owners or raising tire taxes.
These and other problems diffi
cult of solution face the new city
fathers, and for the solving of which
they receive—what?
Salary? Nit. The treasury is
even worse than empty.
Honor? A microscope would not
show even a trace of it.
Respect of their fellow men?
That’s the first thing they lose
after taking tire oath of office.
They do get cussed in tlrat Varied
and picturesque language with
which the average Alaskan, par
ticularly the owner of a dog train,
is so thoroughly conversant. Soon
er or later they acquire the ill will
of .heir fellow townsmen.
Such is their remuneration, and
yet there are those who strive for
office.

Governor Brady says the govern
ment should liuikl llte Valdcz-Ka
gle road, and suggests tl*at 100
mile* be built each year, starting
at Forty Mile and building each
each way. That would be about as
brilliant an idea as starting at the
bottom to dig a well.
Kenai Notes.
The resilience of G. 8. Mearns at
this place was recently burned to
to the ground. Nothing was saved
from the iHiilding, Mr. Mearns just
•scaping with what he wore. The
loss was quite heavy, the season’s
furs and part of the stork of the
•tore being in the building.
8. D. Pemberthy, of the Cook In
let Coal Co., will have a large force
of men on this summer to improve
the road to the mines and open up
the property. It is stated he has
two ships under charter this year
to handle the coal.
The Kenai Ijake Mining Co’s
property is abont to be bunded,
and active develupnrent work will
he done tbia summer.
Jacob Beminoff, of Kenai, is put
ting up a large hotel and restaur
ant at Beldovia, which will be run
under the management of his
brother.
Prof. Georgeson has decided to
make the Kenai experimental sta
tion a stock raising ami diary
