restored by Geo uBrger who worked
all night making the linen in work
ing order again. Although a man is
out on the lines between Solomon

breaks occurring just as often
one was repaired, so heavy ha.l been
the accumulation of ice and snow

There is considerable discussion
over a matter of which the owner
himself complained to the Industri
al Worker. Niccola, the man who
opened the dog barn in the old
Rainier building states that he has
been ordered to close because resi
dents petitioned that the place was
a nuisance and wanted it abated
Niccola says that he understands
that complaints were also made
about Rowe's stables and a sewer in
the neighborhood but no such dras
tic action was done as in his case.
He denies that the petitioners had
just grounds for claiming his place
a nuisance and says that there were
dog barns in that vicinity before
and are now.

It is reported that there Is going
to be a fight put up by several of
the tax payers against the local as
sessments when their cases as delin
quent tax payers come up to the
courts for order of sale. Some im
portant combinations according to
this story are going to teGt the
equity of the present scale of as
sessment on both real and personal
property according to these reports.
Although quite a number of “live”
ones have not yet turned in their
taxes ,Jor the year, it is believed
that no trouble will be experienced
in collecting them. In other case-t,
it is stated, howovor, tho city is
likely to have a legal scrape on its
hands of some dimensions.

Local democrats do not approve
of the selection of Juneau as tho
convention city—or perhaps it is
more correct to say that some of
them do not. The district committee
held a meeting tho other night and
sent some recommondations to the
territorial committee which met at
Valdez and selected Juneau. The
nature of these recommendations
however is not known. The local de
mocrats are also said to have some
objections to some of the territorial
tyees, but as they are strictly party
men, it is likely that they will abide
by the decision of the majority. The
republicans are also on the qui vive
for their call. According to the
Cordova Times Seward is certain
to be chosen and that Gilmore and
Schofield will represent the Seward
Peninsula republicans was also
stated in the same paper. Numbers
are suggested as likely- candidates
by both parties, but apparently no
one has a cinch on the nomination.
The Juneau paper which Mrs. Lena
Morrow Lewis edited for some time
in a very talented manner, has
turned over the editorship to A. B.
Callaghan an attorney at Juneau of
well known progressive democratic
principles. The former editor has
been lecturing around southeastern
Alaska and may possibly be nomi
nated as candidate for delegate to
Congross on the Socialist Party
ticket. She gave a series of lec
tures In Seward which were well
attended.
