CANVASSING
ELECTION REPORT
—
Commissioner Albrecht received j
on the last mail a copy of the re
port of the canvassing board ap- '
pointed to canvass and compile the {
returns of the delegate election held j
August 13, 1912 The figures and'
| main features of the report have al- I
ready been made public in the Idir
arod Pioneer, but there a.e one or
two points of interest not yet pub
lished.
In two cases United States com-;
missioners gave wrong dates in j
1 heir notices o! election. At Kodiak j
the election was thus held on the!
wrong date, and the vote was dis- :
allowed. At Afognak the wrong :
date was named in the notice, but
tha citizens held the election on the ;
right date; the vote was allowed.
The vote at Candle and Trail
creek were invalidated because no
certificate of election was received
from the clerk or precinct judges.
The copy et the commissioner’s
order and notice received from Nak
Nek was not signed, and the poll
ing places and boundaries vve:e not
designated; therefore the vote was
disallowed.
At Koyuk the vote was disal
: lowed because the ballots did not
; substantially agree with form pre
: scribed by law.

MANAGER W. H. GOLDER
THINKS WELL OF ANIAK
Manager W. n. Golder, of the N. C.
post at Kolmakofsky, thinks highly of
the Aniak and Tuluksak, according to
Mr. Wood, local manager for the com
pany. There is nothing so far devel
oped to get. e>.cited about, but the sev
eral hundred ounces of gold brought
over by him is proof that the gold is
there waiting to be taken out. What
is wanted is more systematic prospect
ing.
Prospecting has been retarded on ac
count of water, and a pump is essential
for sinking. A pulsometer or Worth
ington pump, with a small boiler, such
as can now be obtained on the local
market, would be the best for this
work.
Mr. Golder is very optimistic regard
ing the Kuskokwim valley, and be
lieves next year will be a good one in
that section.
When Sandy Wilson was taken sick
he was filling a big wood contract,
hauling from Little Flat, which runs
into Otter a mile or two below Flat
town. Mr. Wilson purchased 200cords
of wood from Bob Lowrie.
WIRELESS STATION
WITHIN THE CITY
1 _
It developed during the meetings
of the board of equalization that the
Alaska Wireless Telegraph Com
pany’s station is within the city
limits, although general opinion
was that the plant was just outside
the boundary. Last year the sta
tion was not included in the report
of the assessor. This year it has
been taken in, and a value of §3,
500 placed upon it for taxing pur
poses.
For the wireless company Mr.
Hall said that he believed the
amount would be satisfactory to
Mr. Joslin, president ol the com
pany, and he would commuuicate
with him on the subject.
John F. Baird returned f rom the
creeks Monday. He spent several days
at the head of Flat as the guest of j
Harry Yeager.

The extent of the exodus from Fair

operations may be judged from the re

roadhouse. He told a News-Miner
representative that over 1,500 people
crossed the ferry at his place during
late summer and prior to the river
freezing over. After the freezeup
mushers were going out at the rate of
'15 a day. _
FIRE PROTECTION
IS PROVIDED FOR

for fire-fighting purposes has been
satisfactorily settled, Councilman

that arrangements had been con

whereby in return for J>ioo a month,
a case of coaloii, and a quantity of

available on short notice.
The city is now getting for a

that amount.
