After feeding the unemployed rad
road laborers of the Alaska II one
Railway for two weeks, tlie city has
decided to scud them to the Sales,
aud lot) will leave o', the Santa Clara.
Gov. Hoggatt lias been trying for a
number of days to secure transporta
tion to Seattle for the men, but with
out success, aud% at. a meeting of the
Council yesterday it was decided that
in order to stop the expense of feeding
these men, it would be advisable to
buy tickets for them aud send them to
the States.
A committee canvassed the tovvu
yesterday evening and secured pledges
of 615:25 from the merchants. A
special rate has been secured Iroin the
Northwestern Steamship Co , and tick
ets are now being issued to as many
men as the vessel can carry. fhe mer
chants who siibseiibed to thio lund
will receive warrants of the ci*y for
the amount they advanced ami *be
warrants wili be paid in their order.
No figures are < btaiuable at present
as to the expen e already incurred by
the city in feeding these men, but it is
said by those in charge of tin: mess
house, that the bills will average 6‘>'0
per day.
The Skagway Alaskan of the 3d inst.
says: “Frank D. Wells, the man who
first preferred charges against Judge
Jas. Wickersham at Washiugton, is in
the c'ty and will leave on the Dolphin
tomorrow for Washington. Mr. Wells
as&erts that the resignation of Judge
Wickersham will likely he followed by
several more resignations in Alaska’s
official family. The political condi
tious as pictured b3’ Mr. Wells to the
Alaskan, are very rotten in the inter
ior anil, as Mr. Wells has the ev.deuce
with him, and showed it to the Alas
kan and is going to use it in Washing
ton, .t. seems that his claim that a
genera^ shake up, officially, will take
place in Alaska, is well founded.”

The second of a series of dances will
be given at McKinley hall next Thurs
day night, Hallow’en, by the Valdez
social club. Good music aud a good
time is assured. The fact that Mc
Kinley hall is soon to be used for other
purposes, and this probably the last
dance of the season to be given there,
should bring a good attendance.

Cale’s Plan
Following is the plan for a modified
form of territorial government for
Alaska «s outlined by Delegate Cale :
We e nuont expeet to see a form of
government as compi le as that giant
ed to the territories in the states
That is not what 1 am fighting for.
•• \Ye simply want a limited legisla
tive assembly at the start. It will con
sist of say perhaps 15 members. The
governor having set the day for t be
election, ttie people of Alaska, will
send their members to the legislature.
From that time on the delegate in
congress will be backed up in his
moves by the acts of the legisla! m e
He will not be met on this or that
hand by factional interests, but can
express tbe wish of the people through
memorials the legislature may present,
i You can readily see then that congress
! ..ill by this method hear the voice of
; the people. As to territorial officials
i there will not be over three—secretary
| of state, attorney-general and superii*
' tendent of public instruction. This is
| enough for the start. The federal gov
eminent will of course pav for this
legislature, just as it does in othei
i • .
! territories.
“The legislature having assembled
and each member making known the
! ueeds of his district, a budget will
, be prepared and through the dele
gate presented to congress. The ap
propriations a>ked for having been
granted, it will then be up to ihe legis
j lature to parcel them out according to
the needs of each district. Through
! naving granted us limited power, the
! federal government, as is the custom
where the acts of the legislature are
defined and restricted to only certain
public business will be called upon to
grant appropriations much in excess
of the leveuues of the territory.”
