With a Demo cratic mayor and a Republican board of supervisors, both at loggerheads over appointments, the taxpayers are wondering who is who. For two months the mayor’s list of appointments to municipal berths, numbering over 100, have been iaying on the table as a result of action of the supervisors, while the mayor’s clamors for recognition of his prerog atives are given scant attention. The outcome of it all is that the Repub lican holdovers from the past admin istration are still in office and jubi lant while the Democratic office seek ers are still out in the cold and cry ing for their rights. All eflorts at compromise having failed the Democrats have sought re lief in the courts and what is regard ed as the forerunner of other suits to oust the holdovers was filed today by Democrat leaders applying for an in junction to hold up the salary of the superintendent of parks and play grounds and praying the court to set aside an ordinance enacted by the Re publican board taking away from the mayor the power of appointments. Other suits contemplated aim to hold up the salary of the fire chief, water works’ superintendent, building in spector and manager of the lighting department.

RAY, Notary Public for Territory of Alaska. (My Commission Expires April 24, 1918) I -——-—-1 II All Alaska News j Frank Cole, one of the pump force of the Pueblo Mine, recently suffered a very painful accident while help ing to hoist an engine into place. His finger became caught in the machin ery with the result that the flesh was stripped off. —*5*— The White Pass, a short time ago put up a 75-foot flag pole at their de pot. The pole has a weather vane and ball on it. Several exhibition trips were made with the pole before put ting it into place. The Whitehorse branch of the Ca nadian Bank of Whitehorse recently shipped out 210 ounces of gold dust, the greater part of which came from the Livingstone Crook in the Big Sal mon country. The consignment was valued at between $250,000 and $400, 000. One of the two women tourists who had been stopping at Whitehorse re cently found that she had lost her pocketbook just as she was getting on the train to leave. The amount was not large enough, however, to ; cause her to postpone her departure. The body of Bert McKenzie, fore | man on engine 68, recently wrecked, ! was found the next morning by a crew I of White Pass employes. It was brought to Skagway and placed be | side that of his father. The train was hit by a slide and only the break | ing of the couplings saved the coaches. The accident occurred in a small ra vine along the White Pass railway. , One of the falling rocks was as large as a box car. * - Robert Logan, of Fairbanks, recent ly found a peculiar specimen of a i mouse, which had all the characters i tics 4>f a kangaroo. It w$is about the size of an ordinary mouse, but it hind legs were more than three times the length of its fore legs, which were small like those of a kangaroo. It had a long and muscular body. The j animal was later identified as belong-1 ing to the kangaroo species, very com mon to some parts of the world. Robert M. Crawford, of Fairbanks, recently left Alaska to attend the Con servatory of Music at Boston. He is possessed* of considerable musical ability, being both a player ami a composer. His latest song to be print ed is entitled, “My Northland,” the music of which is catchy, while the words are very appropriate.. The Valdez Packing Company has shipped 35,000 cases of salmon this year. We believe this is the record I in Alaska for a one line plant. The • cannery will be increased in capacity | by the addition of another linei>f ma- j chinery next year. Word has been received that Wil liam Daines, formerly of aFirbanks,. had died at Morningside sanitarium on June 29th. Daines was committed to the institution in 1911. Death was due to Bright's disease. So far as known, the man had no living rela tives. Bob Sheldon, the stage driver, who j runs a line of eight autos from the coast to Fairbanks, recently lost one 1 of his machines under peculiar condi ! tions. The recent heavy rains had, | caused the rivers to overflow, and Mr. j Sheldon ran his car into one of the streams and got stuck. Bob went to a roadhouse for help and by the timej he returned the machine had buried itself out of sight in the swift torrent. He has found no trace of the car since. John Ackerlund was found dead un der a cabin on the Thirteen acre tract at Cordova recently. He ended his : life by the shotgun route, and sue- ( j ceeded in blowing off his head. De ceased was about 60 years of age, and • a coroner's jury decided that he was a suicide. • -* Waterfill & Frailer whiskey at The Branch.
