Owing to the lack of space, and the
disadvantage attendant upon the in
stallation of new mechanical equip
ment, the Prospector last week was
unable to give the space to the re- j
marks of Gov. W. B. Iloggatt, at■
Wednesday mornings business mens I
conference, which their importance
warranted In explaining his rea
sons for visiting Valdez, and
the position and the opinions
which he held, his statements were of
the highest importance to not only
the people of this city, but the entire
population of the District. In part he
stated he was in Valdez for the pur
pose of making a full and complete
investigation of the shooting at Key
stone Canyon and intended to go to
the bottom of the matter without re
gard to meu or cliques, and also that
he invited information from any
source. In connection with the pro
jects of railroad building in Alaska,
he stated that applications had been
made to Washington for government
aid bv the promoters of railroads, who
had got no further than the beach
lines, and until such time as it was
demonstrated that a real road was to
be built, and iron was laid for a dis
tance which was proof positive of
honesty of purpose, he had and should
continue to oppose such financial as
sistance by the government, lie said
he would oppose and prevent by all
possible means, any special legislation
to man or set of men which would
serve to coutiol any canyon or pass,
but. that those who really came with
the rails, were the ones to be protected.
He believed that the first man or com
pany which laid its rails through any
canyon or pass, would be the only one
which should occupy such, for he hard
ly thought, the traffic would warrant
another company in entering into com
petion for the limited business to
be found in any particular section of
Alaska.
The Governor said he was giad to
see that no violence or infraction of the
law came as a result of the shooting,
and that he had found that the local
federal officials were fully capable of
handling the entire situation, all of
which reflected great credit on the peo
of Valdez, and the officials of the
government.

Waterworks Franchise
At the Council meeting last night a
franchise was granted to Antonelle &
Nelson allowing them the privilege of
installing and operating a water works
system in Valdez. The ordinance
specifies that the city is to have free
use of water for fire purposes, from hy
drants installed at places specified, by
the city. A year is allowed for the
completion of the work on the system.
An ordinance granting a franchise to
operate a sewerage system in connec
tion with the water works, was also
adopted
The franchises have been transfered
to H. D. Reynolds, who will have the
systems installed and in working order
as soon as possible next summer.

From the time the vessel started
outside uutil she came past Hinchin

which smashed in some of the upper
works of the boat. No attempt was
made to go into Katalla as a fierce sea
was rolling and it would have beeu
impossible to land
