ANCHORAGE, June 19—It now
seems certain that the new townslte
will be open to the public by the 1st
of July. J. Frank Warner, In chargo
of the survey, will complete the fleM
work today. The townslte will con
tain 1 111 blocks and fractional blocks,
for those that front on Ship Creek are
not full sized, as they are governed
by the contour of the country. Kach
full block will contain 12 lots, 50x140
feet. The fractional blocks will, of
course, contain whntever number of
lots the area permits. The streets
running north and south are named in
alphabetical order from A to 1’, save
hat there will be Fast 11 street and
.Oast C street. This is becnuse the
area of the townslte was increased
after the survey work, which began
at A street, had been started. The
streets running east and west are
numbered from 1 to 9. The blocks
are staked with posts 3 inches square,
the number of the block being on the
respective posts. The lots are staked
with stakes 1% Inches square.
How lots will be disposed of has not
been made public, nor will any infor
mation be available until the land
office men now here get advices from
Washington. The genernl talk around
town is to the effect that the lots will
be sold at auction, and Mr. Christen
sen admitted that this would probably
be the manner of disposal. Public
sentiment here favors the drawing
plan, but investigation of the hill pass
ed by congress which provides for the
building of the government railway
system, the reservation of townsites
along the proposed line, etc., says that
the lots shall be "sold” and the funds
derived therefrom shall go toward the
building of the railway project. This,
of course, is not the express language
of the act, but is the substance of the
matter. On this situation, therefore,
it would appear that both the drawing
and leasing plans are not applicable
lo the case. People here urgently ad
vocated the drawing because it would
give the man with small means an
equal opportunity with the more for
tunate ones. A'n argument) agafyist
the auction plan is that it would give
the man with money the best of the
situation. And so it would, unless
there were certain restrictions which
would prevent an attempt by an Indi
vidual, or group of individuals, to bid
in the better lots, to the exclusion of
the poor classes. While nobody knows
what restrictions will govern the dis
posal of the lots, it has been reliably
informed that there will be certain re
strictions which will prevent any un
due advantage to any certain class
and that there will be no "hogging”
of the townslte on the part of any man
or set of men.
The Alameda arrived from the
south this evening at 5:30 o’clock with
the following passengers for Cor
dova: Miss J. Potter, Mr. and Mrs.
Caleb Corser, W. Burgess, Geo. Lam
kler, Miss Margaret McGavock, Mrs.
