bThe question of what reforms
Sail be made in the handling of
be dance hall and gambling busi
ness appears to be no nearer a
Solution than it ever has been here.
The council had the matter of
making a restricted district under
Advisement and intended to act at
'■the last meeting, but so much
'opposition appeared that they have
'practically decided to take no
further steps in the matter until
'the wishes of the business men of
town shall be conveyed to them
' by petition or otherwise.
Figures based on the election
for delegate in Alaska and the vote
'cast-in communities where the
'population is known makes the
‘total population of Alaska 21,318.
This is bated on three inhabitant
'<0# each Voter.
In the y«Ar ending Sept. 1906
■Alaska has imported 92,680,392
frorth of iron and steel manu
'factures. The provisions, such as
’me*f. lard, butter, cheese and
'milk amounted to 91,836.406.

'Churchill did not make an im
partial investigation and that the
‘missions were not open to criticism
