THE CITIZENS' CONVE 1 TION AND
THE ELECTION
The citizens' * convention gave the
present city government of Skagway a
deserved endorsement last night by re
nominating all those members of it who
would consent to run again, and in do
ing so it did its best to insure the city a
capable and honest administration for
the ensuing year.
The present council of this city has
been efficient in a very marked degree.
It has done much for the people. Be
cause of it we have excellent fire pro
tection, and '.he cost of water and light
has been reduced materially to business
men and residents. There has been a
good deal of street work done. The
streets have been well lighted. The
school has been well provided with
funds. There has been little waite
any place. Everywhere there has been
evidence of competency and honesty of
purpose.
That the new men named, Mr. Net
tles and Mr. Culbertson, if elected, will
be worthy successors of Mr. Bcughtoa
and Mr. Britt, who have made excel
lent servants of the people, there is no
dcubt. Mr. Nettles has been tried be
fore, and was not found wacting, and
Mr. Culbertson is a capable youne bus
iness man of the very best type.

Notwithstanding all this, the
Daily Alaskan will not refute to recog
nize those who are dissatisfied with the
action of the citizens' convention. It
is a fact that there are some people in
town who think the ticket was ma
chine made for selfish purposes. The
number whoso think is not great, w#
believe, and it would be far smaller if
the people wou'd attend the corncil
meetings in greater numbers and there
witness with what conscientious re
gard the city's business is cared for.
Those who are not perfectly satisfied
with the ticket nominated last night
have two days in which to place anoth
er one in the field. They can do it by
holding another convention or by pe
tition. If they will act on this prerog
ative of their citizenship the Daily
Alaskan promises them a fair and full
hearing. It will place sufficient space
in its columns at their disposal for the
publication of all the arguments against
the re-election o! the present oouncil,
or in favor of electing other members
of that body that they may care to set
forth. It will only insist that printa
ble language be used and that libelous
matter be excluded. It will treat
every argument presented with con
sideration and respect that will be en
tirely satisfactory to those advanc
ing it.
If any considerable number of the
people think they are not getting a
fair deal it were far better for ail con
?erned that they avail themselves of
the opportunities the law allows them
for their protection. That is what elec
tions are provided for, and the discus
sion of public matters promotes civic
health. On the other I and half smoth
ered grumbling breeds lack of confi
dence and undermines public stability.
COLUMBIA CANNfRY

The Columbia cannery, of Chilkoot,
will this year confine its salmon pack to
' flats," the trade name (or the short
cans put up by the salmon packers.
Nearly or all of the cans will be of the
half-pound size. The purpose of this is
to get the very best prices obtainable
for salmon.
R, O. Leonard, superintendent of the
Columbia cannery, is considering using
an oval can for next year's pack.

TWO MORE
Alteka Steamship Company
Baying Vessels
According to late advices from the
south the Alaska Steamship Company
has purchased two new steamers for
Alaskan waters. Frank ?. Bums, sup
erintendent of the company, is now in
the east after the steamships. Options
were secured on them recently by
Charles E. Peabodv, president of the
company, who has just come back from
the Atlantic coast.
Mr. Peabody sa\s the steamers are
new and have been in service only about
two years. They carry about 2,000
tons each and are modern in every
respect. They are similar to the
steamers Buckmrn and Watson, with
the exception that they are larger.
Both are Otted with excellent passenger
accommodations. The vessels woul be
suitable for any ocean run.
It is the plan of the officers of the
Alaska Steamship Company to retire a
number of their vessels which have
seen service for years and to replace
them with boats of the latest type.
The Indianapolis is the first of the
new fleet and more vessels are to be
purchased from time to time. When
the Indianapolis was taken over at
Chicago the steamship had been in
operation but seven months. The
steamers which the company will now
bring from the Atlantic were built in
1904 and are both up to date in every
respect.
