The necessity for having the
Lake stream bridged is evident to
anyone who has been over the
trail. While it might cost too
much to put a bridge near No. 1,|
it would not be a hard matter to
bridge the stream where the ferry
was operated last year. A man
atoot can generally ford the Gla
cier streams by hunting a riffle,
but in the Lake stream he always
has deep water. Every fall it has
to be bridged for sledding, while
the glacier stream dries up so that
bridges arc not necessary. The
Ppoppectok will agree to raise a
subscription of cash and lalior for
cutting a trail to the old ferry from
the government trail beyond No. 1 1
and on this side, and to put in a
bridge, if the council will appoint
some one to direct the work, and
will appropriate what money can
* be spared for the purpose.
A bridge and improved trail will;
be worth many times its cost, even
this winter, and should be built
before the Fairbanks travel starts.

The Ppospectoh inaugurated on
Tuesday a daily cable bulletin ser- j
▼ice,'by which the business men of
the town will be enabled to get the !
important news of the outside
world every afternoon. It is not
our intention, for the present at i
least, to issue a daily paper, but in
▼iew of the demand for outside:
news we have adopted the system J
of distributing bulletins to subscrib-,
ers over town every week day ex
cept Thursday, when the news will
be published in the Prospector.
The arrangements for this ser
vice were made hurriedly by wire,
and the'Quality of the news re
ceived is not as satisfactory as
could be wished, but that will be
changed as soon as possible, and j
we will endeavor to secure all the
news of interest throughout the
world.
The bulletins are published by
subscription, and will not be sold
be sold on the streets.

The attention of dog owners is
called to the fact that there is an
ordinance authorizing the killing
of dogs in heat or vicious dogs run- j
ning at large in the town. Under j
the provisions of this ordinance
any such dog caugh on the streets j
will be killed, and the owner is
liable to prosecution for allowing
the animal to run loose.

While the Prospector will here
after publish a weekly summary of
the telegraphic news for the benefit
of out-of-town subscribers, this will
in no way interfere with the publi
cation of local matter, and news of
the surrounding country, which, in
our opinion, is the principal duty
.of any paper. We will endeavor,
»b heretofore, to print all the news
of Valdez and the great country
tributary to it.
J. L Steele, of Valdez, started a
fight in the American Mining Con
gress at Portland by introducing a
resolution asking for a representa
tive in the national congress. Af
ter a hot debate and a hard fight
the resolution was adopted. Fol
lowing is the resolution:
“Whereas, The district of Alaska
has a population of nearly 70,(XX)
American citizens, a large majority
of whom are miners and prospect
ors, and
Whereas, The-e pioneers have
no way of obtaining redress for
their gri*-van«*es. except by a per
sonal appeal to congress, and
•‘Whereas, Their appeals must
be made to representatives or sen
ators from other localities who
have the welfare of their own dis
tricts and constituents to care for.
and consequently these perronal
appeals have as yet been of no
avail or benefit, and
“Whereas, It is the wish and de
sire of all Alaskans that they be
represented in congress of the
United States by a delegate elected
by the popular vote of the people,
to the end that such laws may be
enacted that will be to the benefit
of mining and other inteiests,
therefore be it
“Resolved, That the American
Mining Congress, in their regular
convention assembled in Portland,
Or., August. 1904, do hereby in
dorse this wish of Alaskans, as by
so doing the great mineral store
houses of the north land will be
more speedily developed, and.be
it further
“Resolved, That this congress
will use every honorable means to
secure to Alaska that representa
tion our forefathers fought for at
Bunker Hill, and be it further
“Resolved, That this congress
appeal to the congress of the Unit
ed States, for their consideration
at the next session, asking for im
mediate action, to the end that
these hardy Americans may enjoy
the privilege of representation ac
cording to the rights guaranteed in
our constitution.”
