1-ast night the Town Council held
Its regular meeting, nt which a full
membership was In attendance.
There was little business to come
before the council, the evening be
ing spent in discussing various im
provements to be made or that had
been made.
The school board presented a
comparative statement for the
rears 1910-1911 and 1911-1912. The
expenditures being 16,079 45 in the
previous years against fa. 557. 94
for the past yoar, with an estimated
amount of coal on hitnd valued at
$340.00. This shows a difference
in school operating expenses of !
$861.51. The report failed to state
that there were less pupils this
year than 1910-1911, and also fail
ed to show that the winter was
very mild with no repairs necessary
for the maintainance of the heating
plant, such as had been required in
the previous years
The school clerk asked for a rati
fication of the order for repairs to
the school floors and the kalsomin
Ing the walls, which was voted up
on favorably by the councilmen
W H. Woolsey. lineman for the
Home Power company stated the
company had purchased a number
of new poles, which would be put
>n to replaie those which were old
and defective. Mr. Woolsey called
the attention of the council to the
condition of the wiring of the
Home Power Company, stating that
in his opinion the wiring through
out the town was defective, the
wires being too light and the meth
??d of hanging the same not being
in compliance with the require
ments of the rules of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters He al
so stated that the electric light
wiring in all buildings was not In
accordance with the requirements,
and quoted the city ordinance in
support of his assertions
The recommendations of Mr
Woolsey were referred to a com
mittee to investigate, and report nt
the next meeting of the council
The matter of the private wire
less stations in town was again tak
en up. and the council finally vot
ed to notify all owners of wireless
systems that they must either get
out of the game or put their aer
ials 25 feet above the highest
telephone wires. The notice to l>e
given through publication
Bills against the town amounting
to $153 were allowed, the major
portion of which was for labor
Council then adjourned

IV INTO sHAPK
The Fourth o' July celebration
committee met Saturday night at
the council chamber, and the plans
for the entertainment of Skagway's
visitors on the sixth and seventh of
July were discussed
President Bickeson, as chairman
of the committee on transportation,
stated that he mould at once take
up the question of rates from
Whitehorse to Skagway with the
Interstate Commerce commission,
and assured the committee that he
would do his utmost to pet permis
sion from that body to make a rate
of $5 for the round trip.
The Goddess of Liberty commit
tee stated that they had added to
their contest by making the con
test call for an "Uncle Sam" in ad
dition to the "Goddess of Liberty."
and this met with the approval of
the entire committee
The finance committee stated that
they had met with fair success, and
that they would finish up the work
of soliciting early In the week
Just what the sports committee
intend to prepare in the way of
entertainment could not be deter
mined until they knew what amount
of money could be used for priies.
and the matter of base ball games j
still remains an unsettled question,
as the manager of the Skagway
team has not stated what arrange
ments he has made for visiting
teams to play here.

According to the gtmsip going on
in transportation! circles In Seattle,
control of the transportation busl
i iiws In the Intel rlor of Alaska, a
! monopoly for a long time held by
the Northern Commercial company,
are to be the npolls of n eonte.it
which has been inaugurated by
Close Brother# and company.
It gives promise of reaching from
Alaska to th?> national capital,
where lobbyists have been battling
for the past three weeks, and the In
stallatlon of a line of steamship*,
costing several million dollars, to
ply between Seattle and Skngway,
also is among the probabilities. it
is now reasonably certain that lin
ing a compromise Is reached one
of the fiercest rfcte wars that the
western country has seen In many
years w ill be commenced.
.lust at pre! Sent the strategic
point is the establishment of a snb
IHirt of entry *.t Fairbanks. The
creation of this office will allow
Canadian vessels, to descend the
Yukon below Kngle Cltv, beyond
which point thej are not allowed to
go at present. American vessels
are allowed to liind at 1'awson, in
Canadian territory, a suhport hav
ing been established In the early
days of the Klondike for the pur
pose of bringing Amerlean supplies
to American miners In British ter
ritory The necessity for thi* sub
port no longer exists and it Is
threatened that If Secretary of the
Treasury Franklin McVeagh does
not establish the snhport of entry
at Fairbanks, retaliation will be
made bj the abolition of the one at
Dawson.
The petition presented to the s<*c
retary of the treasury asking for
iho establishment of the Fairbanks
entry port recites that the White
Pass A: Yukon system Is prepared
to extend It* railroad sixty mil"s
to the foot of Kflike I,ebarge, nt a
cost of $2.500,0'J0, and to guaran
tee to deliver mail at Fairbanks 9
to 11 days earlier than it is de
livered by the Northern Commercial
company by way of St. Michael. It
is believed the Canadian govern
ment will grant a subsidy for the
construction of this line, as it will
enable the upper river vessels to
remain in commission abont thirty
days longer each year.
The company also avers that !t
has eighteen vessels and seventeen
barges now on the ways at W hlte
horse. and that during the open sea
son it is able to operate only about
one-third of its plant. It cheerfully
offers to furnish the government
with all the competition it needs in
water transportation in the interior
of Alaska. The company also of
fers to pay the expense of maintain
ing the customs office at Fairbanks.
"If the government desires a
ready solution of the transportation
difficulties of Alaska," said an of
ficial of the \Yhite Fass today, "it
doesn't have to strain its eyesight.
Mere is all the competition needed.
We are ready to begin a struggle
for a share of t hat trade, and we
will undertake to pal o-.ir ships in
commission."
The l'nite.1 States geological
I survey. In a recent report, said that
owing to the heavy cost of trans
portatlon in interior Alaska, more
than one-half of the gold output of
the T.inana district had been paid
out in freight bills. It is not
contended that ''tie Northern Com
mercial company has been charging
all the traffic will bear, but that it
has enjoyed a monopoly of the trade
through the inability of the Cana
dian ships to enter American wa
ters on the Yukon on the same
grounds that the American vessels
enter Canadian waters on the same
stream
