Kntrred at the Valdez postofTiceas second class matter.
Vaidez i-< now iiltoul six years
old aim has l«rn duly inrorpor*
Hied. All coiners have lieen at
lilierty to take up lots without ex
pense other than tiling lot at on
notice and erecting an hahilnhle
dwelling; we have a mayor, a city
council, a health hoard, a tine, well
a. elided school and many other
up-, o-date improvements, hut
s range to saV, we are all squatters
in cm ry sense of the word. We
have never secured a patent to the
land on which the town is located,
though two years ago steps were
taken toward that end and a com
mittee was appointed to attend to
the rioct .--;,rv d< tails of putting the
matter through tiie laud oilier and
have a commissioner appointed.
The necessary maps, made from
survey, were tiled, hut that was all.
There are many vacant places
between buildings in some of the
best streets ol tile town where
owners have erected buildings on
only a part of their lots; these
spaces have liven, and with tilt*
present population, are safe from in
trusion, as we have recognized each
owner’s right to a certain sized
piece of ground. But will this
right he recognized by strangers in
case of a run of new settlers to this
section? If any should settle on a
seemingly unoccupied lot they
might possibly be ejected through
a process of law, hut that is expen
sive and entails considerable worry
-inti irouble.
1. might possibly be a good plan
lor the- residents of Valdez to at
once begin the necessary proceed
ings to secure a patent to the land,
which, when completed and the
allotment made, will give each one
an absolute title to whatever land
'lie or she may hold in the town.
Tlie estimates <>f the Tar.ana gold
production for the year have been
growing since the work on the
spring cleanup hits gotten well un
der way.
Letters and telegrams from Fair
banks say the cleanup will be
larger than it was hoped for. They
now place the figure for the year’s
production at $t>,000,000 instead of
l5,00O,(XX) as was done before the
sluicing begun.
It is said that while money was
scarce in the Tanana cities of Fair
banks and Chena throughout the
winter, both towns are now over
run with gold dust.
More accurate reports, however,
wi.l be forthcoming in a short
time.
Telegraphic Items
Washington, June 13—It is now
officially assured that the efforts of
the president to bring Russia and
Japan together to discuss terms of
peace will be crowned by success.
A telegram was conveyed to the
white house lust night by Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
formally accepting in the name of
the Czar the president’s offer of
good will.
St. Petersburg, June 13—Russia
will probably object to the cession
of Sakhalin, the dismantlement of
Vladivostock and the size of the in
demnity. The representatives of
Japan and Russia will meet at
Washington to discuss terms of
peace.
Chicago, June 13—The world’s
railroad time has been broken by
tne Pennsylvania road. This road
is now running daily trains be
tween New York and Chicago in
eighteen hours, and the train arriv
liere yesterday made during the
trip the record breaking run of
three miles in eighty seconds.
Washington, June 13—Frank C
Churchill, special agent of the
treasury department, has been des
ignated by the president to investi

\VaMiington, June 13— On ie
ci|'l of protest from Nome auainsl
