Tlu- council has decided that the
less publicity that is given to their
doings the In-tter it will l»e for
them. So under the pretense that
the papers are charging an exorbit
ant price for publishing the city
ordinances, have voted not to issue
a contract for their publication in
the future. The rate asked^ for
printing these ordinances was ten
cents a line for the first insertion
and five cents for each subsequent
insertion. This is the same rate
that the merchants of the town pay
for their reading locals, and they
do not consider it exorbitant. Of
course after paying bills amount
ing to over $100 for improving
Keystone ave. and the approaehces
thereto, it is not surprising that the
council should have a spasm of
economy; especially when one con
siders that the printing of the ordi
nances passed would not directly
increase the value of the council
men’s Keystone avenue holdings.
• «
A
Yes, dear reader, there was an
ordinance passed Monday regulat
ing the size and gr^de of sidewalks,
and dimensions of lumber to 1h>
used in building them. If you con
template building a side walk call
on the city clerk and he will show
you the ordinance in question. The
councilmen are afraid that if they
publish it some one will want it
amended, and they are tired of
crawfishing on measures they have
passed, and they can’t all cache
themselves when anything import
ant comes up, as some of them are
in the habit of doing occasionally.
Works For Alaska.
\\'c have buck with us again Ex
Mayor Steele, after a trip through
the states,going as far east as Wash
ington and New York, and, as
usual, doing some good for Alaska
by talking up its many good qual
ities.
After leaving here this spring,
Mr. Steele stopped long enough, itu
Seattle to help out others of this
town in showing to the chamber of
commerce of Seattle, the necessity
for a railroad from Valdez to- the
interior and his statements were
covincing. At Washington he was
consulted on many points touching
legislative measures for Alaska,
notably bv the fisheries commis
sion regarding the maintenance of
hatcheries, lie was also consulted
by the secretary of the interior as
to the appointment of a commis
sioner to represent Alaska at the
St. Louis exposition, and upon Mr.
Steele’s representation of the feel
ings of the people of Alaska toucli
tliat subject, he assured him that
the appointment would lie made
from Alaska.
Mr. Steele lias untile seven trips
to the states and three times to
W ashinton, I). C., since he liecamc
a resident of Alaska, and has on
each occasion done some good for
this country.
It was largely through the argu
ments of Mr. Steele that the light i
house Imard decided last year to
put a light on Hiuchinhrook island
at the entrance to 1'iineu William
Bound
During tint past winter in Wash
ington ha appeared before the Sen
ate committee on territories, and
]M>iuted out the feasibility of hold
ing elections in Alaska, gave esti
mates of the cost and showed con
clusive.y that elections here woi.ld
cost less than the sending of a com
mission to the country.
j Mr. Steele has on every occasion
' taken the opportunity to forward
our interest, and it is well for us
that he is nil Alaskan and takes
the time from his own affairs to at
tend to ours, and in justice to Mr.
Steele for unrequited services, we
make the foregoing statements.
You can rest contented with an
Elnterite roof over you.
