Assessor Charles Hand began yesto
day, bis annual fluty of assesiog all tbe
veal aurl personal property iu the city.
Undoubtedly the total tax levy will be
considerably increased over that of
last year, owing to the business acfivi -
itioK, due to the construction of the
Home Railway. The finances of the
city are now iu as good condition as at
any period iu its history, and by Janu
ary 1st, it is hoped that the small debt
now existing will be completely wiped
out. Those people who are jump
iug claims over on t he flats iu tbe east
ern section of the town, may get a sur
prise which they will not relish, when
Assessor Hand and the Town Council
act on some conclusions which they
have iu mind. However the finances of
the city will undoubtedly be materially
increased. Tbe claim jumpersare prob
ably not aware that their action was
being marie just previous to tbe visit of
■he asses.- r. fait as they desire the
laud, they probably will not object to
paying taxes, and incidentally, any
1 ack taxe.-. which may be due on the
proj ertv
From the columns of the P 1 we
gather the fact that work ig now to he
rushed ou the Katalla railroad Erick
son «v Borland the contractors who will
build the i"ad to the coal fields, a di?
tance of 2S miles, will come up with a
large *orce of men and supplies ou * he
Tampico, which has beeu chartered for
tlie purpose. She began loading fire
days ago at Seattle and will bring up
among other things. 2,0tX) tons of sfr*el
tails, and 300.0(H) feet of lumber. The
c mtractors state that they desire about
3,000 men ou the work, and that they
intend to have the road finished by
February 1.
From the foregoing it would appear
chat the (luggeuheim syndicate bad no
intention of building from Valdez.
The Kateila Herald voices the opin
on that Valdez is jealous of railroad
uilding at Katalla, No—the peuple of
Valdez know that railroads are needed
• t Katalia as well as Valdez and many
*rIter places at Alaska. Valdezians
‘.are no wish to interfere with railroad
nudding anywhere. But here are some
uestions which the Prospector wishes
■ ne Herald would answer: Why is it
. nat the Northwestern Koad is not cou
nt wi.lt Katali; ? That railroad once
lined a foot-hold here—started in to
>rk aLd then stopped. Very good!—
fids is :ts own business and no body is
Tiding any fault. But when the Alaska
ome Railway proposes to build, why
- i» tlic»r :ne Northwestern people im
mediarely put some men on Valdez
: ootid and claim the passage and its
-v pi red t ight of v. ay? Why does tLeir
giueei straightway leave Katalla for
Valdez and orders ate issued to pre
v at the Home Railway people from
Tapping ton* in a canyon much nearer
Valdez than it is near Katalla? This
iwttu of dealing may pass in Wall street
out not in Alaska The people of Val
T z ate thinking hard. Whatever
ubstrusive tactics are used to pre
vent the people here fiocn building
l in-ir own road will be made public to
aU Alaska and to all the people of the
United States
