word of Coancil
Economy will be the watchword of
the new city council if It woras along
the line Indicated in the remarks that
were made at tho meeting last night.
The question of finances came up on
one or two occasions. Tbe motion
made by Councilman McGrath that
street ligbting be dispensed with after
May 1st, in the Interest of economy,
brought forth declarations from him
and from Councilman Shea in favor of
having money. Before tbe motion was
put and carried, Mr. Shea called atten
tion to the fact that the treasurer's
report showed that tbe city bad but
*445.30 available funds on baud, nearly
all of which was expended last night.
He complimented the old council on
the reco d it made for 'good business
judgment in paying tbe city's debt off,
and said that It had been predicted that
the new council would no: make a food
record, tie sa'd tbat It i* up to thej
councilmen to do as well as tbeir pre
decessors, at least, and better ifi
possible. He said further that now is!
tbe time to begio.
' Councilman De Serisy said tbat the
rate being made by the Northwestern
Light & Power ComDiny and the rail
road company to the city for street 1
lights was based on an agreement for
for an f 11-vear service. He thought it j
would be unfair for tbe city to take tbe ?
benefit of tbe low rate during the long,
dark nights of winter and then cut ;
them out at the time when the li^btin^ j
companies might make even.
All the members of the council were
present at the meeting last night and
Mavoi Conway was in the chair.
The committee on public works and j
public property r?ported that the!
sidewalk petitioned for on Eighth I
avenue west of Main street was greath
needed but it was thought lo view of
the city's financial conditioa tbat the
ImproTement should be borne by the!
abutting proptrty owner. The com
mittee was given more time.
The council allowed bills aggregat
es I2S4.25 for improvmecu and repairs
to the school bouse heating plant.
Sundry other bill were allowed.
An application (from Henry Friedeo
thai for appointment as night watch
man. with endorsements from numer
ous business men, was read and re
ferred to the committee on health and
police.
The council ratified the action of tbe
fi'-e department In electing }M. A.
McLean chief.
Tbe coramitte on judiciary and elec
tion was instructed to report a set of
rules and order of business.
Tbe committee on judiciary and elec
t-on* was instructed to prepare a salary
ordinance for iotroducioa at tbe next
meeting.
A request of City Treasurer William
Brttt for the use of the oit.v ?afe was

NOT SO
Treadwell Papers Deny
Reported Sale
Juneau, April 14? The Juneau Dis
pstch savs:
"Tbe report that the Guggenheim*
have secured control of the Treadwell
stock is absolutely denied by those
close to the Treadwell management.
They point out that there has been no
examination of tbe mines >y any lout
aide expert for years. W ere there a
deal on, this would oe one of the first
mores. Next it is pointed jut that the
Treadwell stock Is not om the market
but is neld as dividend paying security
by wealthy men who shoiv no inclina
tion of plaoirg it on the market. Re
garding any change of m. a?gem -nt it
is pointed out that all the aigher offi
cials of the Treadwell company are
contract men. They are engaged for a
certain number of years and are there
fore immune from change even if the
property should change hands. The
Dally Dispatch, after an investigation
is sanguine that the Guggenheims
have made no ofTer for the big island
mines."

MAKf GOOD
Do Not Begiu SpriDg With
Dirty Watch
Do not begin the'active season with a
watch that will not keep good time.
The season of summer is too short in
this country to permit of one's being
hampered by an uncertain timepiece.
If your watch is dirty it will not keep
time correctly until it has been cleaned.
Spring' should be the cleaning season
for watches and clocks as well as for
everything else.

The General Condemnation of So-Called Patent
or Secret MeJicines

h?v? established more clearly than could have Leen accomplisued in any other way
The Value and Importance o: Ethical Remedies.
Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and
are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of
Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts.
To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of
the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and
approved by them , and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many
years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. The per
fect purity and uniformity of product which they, demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical
character are assured by the California Fig Syrup Company's original method of manufacture,
known to the Company only.
There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of
the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives
that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without
disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to
increase the quantity from time to time.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Svrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senpa, are well
known to physicians and the Well- Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be'
called- for by the shorter name of Svrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects,
always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company ? California Fig Syrup Co. ?
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup
of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and .Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which
has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists
throughout the United States in original packages of one si?e only, the regular price
of which is fifty cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., the remedy is not adulterated or mis
branded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act. June 30th, 1906.
