The petition to the road coinniis-j
aion asking that a few men be sta
tioned along the Fairbanks trail
to keep it in repair this winter is
one that should certainly be grant
ed. The government has spent i
considerable money in opening up
this trail, and it is only right-that
the comparatively small amount;
■necessary to keep it in shape for
travel should he expended bv the
load commission. The trail has
heretofore been kept in repair at
the expense of mail contractors
and freighters, and the burden is
too great for them to bear alone.
The Prospector Bulletin will
be enlarged this week and changed
into a small daily, and the price
will be reduced to 25 cents per
week. This change has been con
templated for some time and it
was our intention to start a daily
about December 1st, but events
■have occurred recently which
caused us to make ''e change
■ooner than intended, so onr pat
ions will kindly make allowance
for the crudities of make up which
may appear in the first numbers.
•The Bulletin will contain the
■Associated Press news of the day
of issue and local items and will
be delivered in the afternoon ce
heretofore.

t On October li*th copper reached
■the price of 22 cents, which is un^
.paralleled in the history of the
States. Who wouldn’t own a
copper mine.
i Ketchikan is catching the “clos
ing up” idea, and the Journal sa\s
‘thin session of court will see the
“lid on.”
1 Judge Wickershum has sold the
lot which he was renting for
►saloon buildings for $20,000, ac
cording to an exchange.
: Because of a petition signed by
• a few citizens of the town of \ al
idez, Judge Wickersham got very
:busy. He has issued an order that
• all saloons, in which gambling is;
’■conducted or that have dance halls
in connection, he closed. There
fore is the winter of discontent!
