The people of the Forty Mile
country want Valdez to keep a good ^
sled road open next winter from
here to the Tnnnnn crossing, and
pledge themselves to continue it
from there through the Forty Mile
country to Kagle. While this would
cost considerable money, there is
no doubt hut what it would he a
profitable investment for this sec
tion. The inhabitants of the
American Yukon country are desir- !
<ius of getting their supplies from
American merchants, nod through
American territory. A sled road,
such as they plan.would make Val
dez the outlining point for a rich
and extensive mining section that
at present gets everything from
Ihiwson. and would also make pos
sible the settlement of the Copper
river and Tanatia valleys.
If the proposed government road
is built there will he no necessity
for this sled road, but in ease the
appropriation is not made, some'
at tempt* should he made to co-oper
ate with the people of the Yukon
valley in furnishing a better means
of transportation lietween Valdez
and the interior.
\\ e have a road from the Tatiana
crossing to the coast range that
only needs to tte traveled over to
make a good winter road. Cross
ing the range is the only place that
any trouble would he experienced,
and even these obstacles could he
overcome without much work.
The idea is a good one, and in
case the government does not build
a wagon road, should receive the
serious consideration of the people
of this section.

Next Monday the council will
name the judges and clerks for the
annual municipal election, which
will take place on the second Tues
day in February. Several slates
arc Iteing quietly made up, but no
ticket has liecn made public as yet.
The political wise men have not
announced what, the main issue
will lie this year, hut it is to he
hoped that they will succeed in
working up something to fight over,,
for we need a little excitement in
the political line this spring.
~ * *
Many protests are being made'
about the horses that arc allowed
tn riin at large upon the streets,,
and which arc a continual menace!
to women and children. The own
ers of the stock have been notified
to keep the horses up, and if it is
not done the authorities will take
ste, is abate the nuisance.

The usual anti-piiwer of attornev
hill for Alaska, has been introduced
in congress this session, hut it is
almost a foregone conclusion that
it will not pass. When the people
in the section affected hv a hiil dif
fer as much as they do here, regard
such a law. there is little hope of a
change being made.
