The council 1ms appointed ft spe
cial committee to work with the
proprietors of the wharves and saw
mill in an attempt to have the li
censes paid by these concerns turn
ed into the town treasury. They
arc confident that if the matter is
properly presented to the attorney
general he will see the justice of
the request. But for the officious
ness of some of our distri officials,
this money could have been paid
into the town treasury, where it
belongs, and no protest would have
been made by any one.

In another column is published
an ordinance, passed by the coun
cil Monday night, making it a mis
demeanor to use gas line for light
ing or cooking purposes in the
town. This is a measure that has
been contemplated by the heaviest
property owners for some time as
a safeguard against fire. The dan
ger of using gasoline is great, and
there is probably not a person in
town but who will be glad to dis
continue its use as long us their
competitors are not allowed to use
it.

“The census man wont into Alas
ka anil found all the liens. It was
a hard job to find them, but not a
bit hard to count the total; for
there were only 176 fowls in all
Alaska on June 1,1900.
A man could have put all the
hens of that country into a cart i
and carried them with ease. Their
combined value was $166. But
that little pocket edition of hennery
with its little toy shop capital, pro
duced a total income in one year of
$539—$360 for eggs and $179 for
chickens.
Eggs were high there. They
averaged 43 cents per dozen. The
chickens that were hatched and
and sold averaged $1.01 each. It
was a nice little business, beating
most banks in point of percentage
of income.”
The foregoing is a tip for some
one who knows how to handle
poultry. Valdez will consume all
the eggs and chickens that can be
produced by a dozen chicken ranch
es and will pay a good price. There
is money in it for the right person.
Tli# Canadians understand the
value of good roads in the mining
regions. As soon as gold was dis
covered in the region of the Klon
dike the Dominion government im
mediately hegan the construction
of roads leading from Dawson to
the camps. It now has 225 miles
of thoroughly built roadways, over
which the heaviest freighting is
done. The results are indicat d
by the fact that in 1902, when the
Canadian Yukon miner could have
flour delivered to him at #8 per 100
lbs., the American miner at Chick
en creek had to pay #32. In the
summer 1903, when the Canadian
paid #7.50 for his flour, his Amer
ican friend was paying gl8. The
difference in the prices of ham and
bacon in the two places was nearly
23 cents per pound. The price of
condensed cream was doubled to
the American; the same was true
of onions, while the price of ‘ pota
toes was three times as great to the
American. What is true of this
district is equally true of the Cop
per river valley, the Tanana, the
Koyukuk and other gold fields.—
Record-Miner.
