The council acted wisely in tab
ling the resolution to cut out street
lights during the summer. The
experience Sunday and Monday
nights, during the break-down of
the plant, was enough to remove
any doubt in the minds of the
councilmcn as to the advisability
of trying to save expenses by re
ducing the light hill. It would la
false economy and would cost the
town much more in the long run
than tin* light hill amounts to.

A resolution was introduced in
the senate and house recently to
extend the time for construction of
the Akron Sterling A Northern
railroad in Alaska. The resolu
tions were introduced by Mr. Bur
kett of Nebraska in the house and
Mr. Millard of Nebraska in the
senate. .This is tlie road from Val
dez through Keystone canyon, and
to hold the right-of-way it is neces
sary for construction to he under
way before next February as Con
gress has refused to extend the
time. This may he an important
factor in hastening railroad con
struction from Valdez, and Con
gress certainly did us a favor by
refusing to allow the company to
hold a right-of-way without mak
ing any move toward actual con
struction.

Strange to say there is not a
peace officer at any point in the in
terior of Alaska, between Valdez
anil Eagle, a distance of nearly SOU
miles, though from now on hund
reds of men will he scattered till
over the country, with a possibility
of trouble arising at any time.
Heretofore offenses have been over
looked owing to the great incon
venience of coming to Valdez to
make complaint, except in a few
cases when it was necessary to send
a deputy marshal from here to
hunt up offenders. There is now a
commissioner at Copper Center, but
no one to make an arrest. That
would be a good place at which to
station a deputy marshal. He
could he reached by wire from
Eagle, Fairbanks, Valdez or any
intermediate points.
It was reported hereby wire that
Humes, of Seattle, was a candidate!
for the judgeship in this district,
hut the Seattle papers state that a
combination has been formed to
secure him the appointment as
judge of the first district, and move
Judge Brown up to the governor’s
chair. Either way Alaska stands
to get the worst of it. In the event
of Humes being appointed judge
here it means one more carpet* j
bagger with his relatives and friends
to fill minor offices. God knows j
there are enough carpet-baggers
* in Alaska now, but it seems to he
the policy of the parties in power
to relegate federal appointees to
the political lame yard as soon as
they liecome well enough acquaint- '
cd with conditions in Alaska to be'
able to lay some slight claim to he-'
ing Alaskans. If Humes gets the
judgeship in the first district and j
Brown is appointed governor, Alas
ka will he doubly afflicted. To
have the highest office inthedis-l
trict filled by a man of Brown’s
calibre would certainly Ik* unfortu
nate.

locating Claims hy Agent.
There is no provision of law pro
hihiting the location of a claim or
the doing of any of the-nets requir
ed to complete the appropriation
by an agent, and the fact that
the locator acted through an agent
ill such matters does not invalidate
t lie local ion.
The object of the statutory pro
vision requiring annual assessment
work on mining claims is to give
substantial evidence of the locator’s
| good faith, and the law should U
I liberally construed with that end
in view; a compliance with the
statute may be proved hy any evi
dence which establishes that tin
work done and improvements made
arc reasonably worth the sum of
