AERIAL 1(11 OVER THE CICOOI
Royal N. Riblet, of the Riblet s stem
of wire rope tramways when seen this
morning by an Alaskan representative
concerning his business liero stated
frankly thai he hud come out direct
fiom tho factory at St. I^ouisatthe
instance of Col. Conrad and other own
er# of mi net, over the hill "f am not
at liberty to go in'o details hs to the
plans of those at whose instance I
0
came," said Mr. Riblet, "but tho fact
as stated in last evening's Alaskan arc
correct. I have been over examining
the lay of the land about lake Linder
man and lake liennet, and up the old
Dyea trail also and have securid such
general knowledge of the situation as
will enable me to submit pl?ns and
estimates of cost to the interested
parties whom I am to meetdown below.
"0'ir business," continued Mr. Rib
let, "is to tuanufac ure and install such
plant), but we al;-o work on other lines
in some instances. It in tho plan of
the promoters of (he project upon which
I am working, to install an up-to-date
ore carrier, what is known as the
double system, to carry freight over
the hill mrth and ore returning. We
?hill run the line probably from tho
water at Dyea to the water at Linder
mm, and to the several mines. Tho
system, as planned, contemplates about
llftcen miles of tramway."
Asked why tho C'hllcoot rathor than
the White Pass route was perferred,
Mr. Iliblet stated that while tho Chil
coot was somewhi i higher It w.is als<>
much shorter. Reaching the water at
lake Linderman would shorten the
route by about seven miles. The
dilllculty between Linderman and
Bennct, in the matter of transportation
would, for the time being be overcome
tiy local appliances at tbnt point. Mr.
Iliblet said it was the intention
of the interested parties to bejjin tho
work at once. He will sail south on
tho ue.it boat.

bunching effect that will keep the hotels going. There are
290 passengers on the train which is expected to arrive

CHAIRMAN OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL SHAW
SAYS THE CITY IS STRICTLY UP AGAINST IT FOR FUNDS
fhcro was not a great doal of busl ^
noss before the city council last even
ing. A great heap of bills to be
o. k.'ed, formed the time absorbing
feature. Mr, Shaw, as chairman of the
ways and means committee announced
in response to the call for a report
from that committee that "all the esti
mates made at the beginning of the
session have been largely overdrawn
and the council is strictly up against
it" for funds to carry the city through
the balance of the year. He declared
that every precaution should be taken
for the balance in the line of economy
There had been considerable discussion
evoked by bills for rubber boots pur
chased for the employes of the city, as
in was said, hid boon, heretofore, the
custom, the city paying for the same.
Strong exception was taken to a con
tinuance of this custom, it being de
clared that the wages paid the men
was tho highest for like serv
vices paid anywhere and the
city was not, therefore, called
upon to pay for the clothes thty wear.
Furthermore this property was liable
to be lost. The opinion was expressed
that an inventory should be taken and
the properly of the city looked after.
Mr. Ashley, of the fire and water
committee, calleJ attention to the
smoke stack of the Skagway laundry
which needed to b looked after emit
I ling sparks as it does.
Mr. Snyder of the water works com
mittee, reported that tho city pipes
were all in place and connections
made, and that the streets would he
replaced rs good as new today.
The old question of the crossing of
the tracks on the road to the cemetery
brought out a sharp discussion. The
contract offered by tho railroad com
pany for the slgnntnre of the council
men relieved the railroad company of
all responsibility for accidents that
might happen at the crossing and also
reserved to the company the right to
close the road on thirty days notice at
any time. Mr. Snyder declared that
-ny member who sigued such an agree
merit would be crazy. Others expressed
themselves along the same lines am1 it
was not alined.
It was decided that the only alterna
tive the city had was to condemn a
right of way, which was a long and
expensive process. Mr. Snyder favor
ed letting the matter be "and when
we wanted to go to the cemetery, just
go."
The olerK read the report of the city
treasury which showed $300 dollars
available cash.
A protest was made against the bill
of the Railroad company for pumping
water for the mooth of October to be
paid in advance. The bill was held up.
Mr. Shaw declared that never before
had the demand been made for pay
ment in advance nnd lie refuicd to O.
K. the bill.
The school board reported that tho
heating plant was very unsatisfactory
and that It would be Imiiossible to keep
the rooms warm this winter. Another
? eol of hose was also asked for. A mass
of bills were ordered paid.

ing and every evening thereafter until

ard has completed his work, and la-a
