SEWARD. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1915.
The city of Nome costs less than sixty thousand dollars a year for its
government. Notwithstanding this fact it has schools where over three
hundred children arc educated. It has a paid lire department with good
engines, horses and all the necessary requirements.
Juneau with thousands of population expects to bring in taxes this year
about eighty thousand dollars, so it must bo assumed it expects to conduct
its affairs on that amount. It takes in. if memory is correct, an amount of
money from saloons which is just about equal to the amount needed for its
schools, so Juneau, a growing city which has many extra expenses because it
is growing, and has thousands of inhabitants costs not much more
money than much smaller cities.
As well as can be learned the government was much more liberal with
its employes on the Panama canal than it is in Alaska. A sufficiently careful
effort to lind out the true conditions in this respect during the building of the
canal has not been made to speak with any positiveness but that the wages
down there were much higher is something which has been told us with
authority.
Alaskans have no vote in presidential elections but let a newspaper that
supported the democratic candidate in the last delegate election here take the
liberty of saying in the best possible humor that the payment of cheap wages
to employes in Alaska may he a very pleasant bit of news to the republican
party when another president comes to be sent to the whitehouse, and there
isn’t one Alaskan, whatever his politics, who has not a feeling of almost
real affection for President Wilson and his splendid secretary of the interior.

MATANUSKA LANDING. July i 1.
—Boyd Leedy, formerly transitman
with Engineer Kuney’s locating party,
has been appointed resident engineer
on residency No. 5, which extends
from Knik river to Matanuska Junc
tion and also includes eight miles of
the line from the junction toward the
Matanuska coal fields. Mr. Leedy is
a young man of fine ability. He is a

years past.
Matanuska Landing has two
' grocery stores and one restaurant.
I The latter is owned by Dave Mahoney,
formerly of the D. D. restaurant in
Anchorage.
Sam Wright, formerly in charge of
the commissary' at old Knik has been
transferred to this place to act as
timekeeper anti commissary man.
Right of way is now cleared for
four miles beyond Matanuska Junc

CORDOVA.—Vice-President Sax
, ter, of the Copper River & Northwest
’ ern railway, arrived in town last
night from out the line, having made
the trip from Tiekel to Abercrombie
canyon by boat, as the track is o\ei
flowed, in spots between Tiekel and
Mile 54.
Although the water is at present
above any known high water mark,
since the road was located, Mr. Bax
ter does not apprehend any serious
damage to the road, providing it re
cedes during the next few days.
Until such time no repairs can be
made.
The track in under water for about
13 miles, which is from three to six
feet deep in places. One or two bents
of several small bridges have been
washed away and some of the em
bankments have caved in. As soon as
the water goes down a large force of
men will be put to work and it is not
believed that it will take long to re
pair the roadbed and have trains run
ning regularly.—Cordova Times.
