Sheriff R. J. Eilbeck, of Dawson, ar
rived up on the Princoss Beatrice
and went on over the hill on
hti way. Sheriff Eilbeck, It will be re
membered, was quoted a few days ago
from Seattle by wire as advocating in
dependent statehood for Alaska. Hit
earnestneis grew out of resentment
caused by the Igndrauco ho discovered
in the east concerning Alaska. "Why
it is amazing," he said, to The Alaskan.
"I see no hope for you folks, as it seems
impossible to remove the false impres
sions concerning this northern country.
They persist in thinking it an ico
box. JVhen I told them they could put
three or four of the largest states in
AUska and fill in the space with a few
of those little New England states they
would not believe me, any more than
they understand the wealth and hab
itability of the country. I told them
that It was the destiny of Alaska to
become the greatest state in the Union,
and so I believe it is? but they only
laughed."
Sheriff Eilbeck has been touring the
east, accompanied by h's wife who
also returns with him.
At a special toasting of the city coun
cil last evening tho matter of the con- 1
tract with the Home Power company
for water aujiply was disposed of finally.
By a vote of flvo to two? Taylor and
Shaw voting "no"? the city *as com
mitted to enter into a contract with
the company for its supply. The terms
are 3100 per month. In lieu of a bond,
which was asked of the bompany, it
wai agreed that there should be a com
raltiee of three, one each from tbe
council, the Are department and the
power company, the duty of which com
mittee is to keep not* of the status of
of water supply and when it shall ruD
low then tbe power oompany must shut
off tbe power plant until the requisite
reserve shall be again stored. Connec
tion is to be made at Third and Spring
streets and the city is to furdlsh the
10-inch pips to that point and the power
company is to connect up with the tank.
