A MATTER OF CIVIC PRIDE.
When the members of the last
city council took office they did so
with the laudable Intention of pull
ing the city out of debt to the best
of their ability and they were sue
cessful to a very considerable ex
tent Some part of the old debt ye:
remains, however, and the presen'
council must continue the work s,
well begun by its predecessors. Such
the avowed Intention of the
members when they were candidates,
and since their election they have
given evidence that they intend to
redeem their pledges.
It is, of course, regrettable that
salaries of city employes have tt
be reduced at this time, but, even
in the matter of dollars and cents,
it is perhaps Just as well for those
hired by the city. For, with a safe
and sane handling of the city's lim
ited income, there will he no uncer
tainty in regard to the salary war
rants, and wages will be paid on
time Instead of three years after
date, as resulted from the extrava
gant expenditures of the council of
four years ago.
It is a matter ot congratulation
that the incumbents of the vari< us
offices, with one exception, have
agreed to remain under the reduc
ed salaries; actuated, we hope and
believe, to a certain extent by loy
alty to the city. This 1 particularly
true in the case of the city phy
clan, who remains in office in spre
. - lie 1. l .
sary to cut the -alary in two leai
ing it at $50
In r. gard to the city tutmey
ship it would appear that there
should be no difficulty in filling tlie
office, although the salary is hut
$30 pi r month, it the matter is prt ■
senteii in its proper light.
The city countolmen. nearly all of
them ' . y buslnt ssmen, give up 52
evenings in the year gratuitously
to the work of the city. In addition
to th s they an called < 11 for a
total of many weeks’ of labor while
engaged in committee work. Since
there has been any considerable
amount of work to he transacted by
the council there has never been an
attorney on the board, and It surely i
does appear that the members ,
of the bar, benefiting by municipal
betterment as much as any one. are ;
in the debt of the city to at least |
some extent.
The argument that the acceptance
of a $50 salary would "cheapen" an
attorney in the eyes of the profes
sion is untenable under the existing 1
circumstances, w here it may be with ■
so much justice argued that the j
services are being tendered for the
greater part gratuitously in recog
nition of a debt owed.
If it is too much to ask of an at- j
torney that he serve the city for a ;
full year It might be arranged that 1
the term could be divided, the mem
bers of the bar taking their turn
in the office.
The same arguments are of course
applicable to the office of city phy
RiriAn
A DOG RACE HERE.
For the past two or three years
there has been no one source from
which Nome has derived so much !
advertising as its annual dog races,
and there seems to be no good rea- I
son why Fairbanks should not also j
get into the limelight in the same :
manner. There are just as many
good dogs in this district as there
are on the Seward peninsula, and
as many men with sporting procliv
ities who are willing to bet there
are Just as good mushers.
Apart from the advertising there
is the more important point to be
continued — the improvement of
the breed of the trail dogs. For
many years to come the dog will
be an active factor in the transpor
tation problem in Alaska and there
is every reason why the best breed
available should be secured and per
petuated. Today the malamute and
husky trains are being lost through
mal-breeding, and it will not be
many years before there will be
none of the original strain left in
the proximity of any of the larger
camps unless some steps are taken
to encourage more careful selection
of sires.
The question of an annual dog
race has been agitated to a slight
extent here before, but no active,

ADVENT OF GUGGEN HEIMS.
For years the pr. sportive atfven
of the Guggenheim- to tills eami
has been a matter of spoi ulaii m
ami many opinion have been voit ■
as to whether or not the coming o
tlie big corporation was m be ilesir
ed. Today the matter take.- on ;
greater significance—for tin Guggen
brims tire here.
But, at this writi: hc-ri
nothing very formidable aim; theta
Mr. C peland. who leads the advanct
guard of ten. appears to be a ver;
modest gentleman, inclined to hart
work. and. so far as wi could de
'ermine by a careful scrutiny, no
one who would take very Ion:
• iianci.? in breaking tno i,i«a ,.r u..
country. There is n thing in hi;
conversa !■•:. v ich arg i that, ii
spite of his weighty bat king, lie i
any less afraid of Mr. Crossl. y that
an ordinary citizen. \\T have, also
his personal assumin' that ini he:
he n r the eotniiany lc represent:
has any idea of appropriating elan
destinely any of our producing c reek:
or quartz mines without lir.-r con
suiting the present owners.
This advance guard of the Gug
genheims is here to thoroughly ti s
with a Keystone drill, purchased fi'on
Jack Bigelow, the ground on Fair
banks creek secured under optioi
last fall by Falcon J -1 iu and Rob
ert Milvaine. This work will take
the greater part of the summer. 1
the tests indicate that the gravel
can he advantageously worked by the
dredging process there will be
dredges installed by the Guggen
heims.
There will be. says Mr Copeland
no attempt to Imv wholesale all cl
the creeks of the district by the
Guggeuhoims, nor will there lie the
slightest tinge of dog-in-tlie-mangei
selfishness about the p liey they wil
pursue. “Live and Le' Live," is the
motto to he adopted and help ratliei
than hindrance will be extended c
t he prospector.
It has always been the belict ol
the Citizen that this country, anc
this district even, is far too big u
lie afraid of the Guggvnheims ot
any other corporation; and that the
big companies should he welcomed
and their stay made pleasant sc
long as they abide by the same
rule as the individual and do n t
assume prerogatives which they
can only attain through the exer
cise of might To continue the ex
ploitation of our skimmed placet
creeks with the most modern raa
chlnery, and to open up our quartz
mines capital is an essential, and
to treat It as a bugabco and show
fear of it would be to make our
selves ridiculous.
The immediate operations con
templated by the Guggenheims can
not help but benelit the camp. Fair
banks creek, while it has been a
noble old producer, has certainly
seen its best days under the pick
and shovel method. There is now a
good prospect of it being for many
more years a producer under the
imodern methods of mining. A good
price Is being paid for the various
claims, and, so far as is apparent
everyone stands to win.
With Guggenheim men on the
ground watching the development ol
the camp under its new mining era
it seems reasonable to hope thai
it will not be long before the ter
minus of the Copper River road wil
he moved far to the northward ol
Chitina.

SOME AWKWARD QUESTIONS
When engross convene' in t'Vr.i
session s< me awkward questions ar«
sure to l.e tired at the president.
Iteques-s for information about the
movement of troops to tin- Mexican
border will ho plentiful, and not
ail of them will lie accompanied
; b. the mollifying phrase, "if not In
loupatlble with the public In’er
i -t." Si nator l.a K llette. e.-p< ■ ial
ly. I' in a frame of mind to ask
things. In the current number of
his vv, >kly magazine he starts tin
I mibardment in this fashion
emigres' should require tin pro
idetit to give a strict accounting of
tin- extraordinary use of ’lie army
and navy.
‘The wtlnlr affair perms iio-roue
able it is unprecedented, in a Mint
of pro: tintl peace the president hurls
be army and navy to the borders
of a friendly nation. A quarter of
the standing army is put in the li Id
with equipment and ammunition and
supplies for active war. The start
was made under the thin pretense
that it was a ‘military maneuver
ibis is quickly laid aside and cor
respondents traveling with the pres
blent on his Southern jaunt announce
(that the purpose is ‘to stamp out
the Mexican insurrection.' and. it
necossary to ttiis end. to inter
vene '
Thai is to say. t invade this.
:r neighboring republic.
"If this means anything It means
war. To all intents and purposes
it is the beginning of hostilities
against tiie Mexican republic."
Then follows a series of more or
less impudent inquiries as to the
p Tide influence in the movement
of tro ps of such ronsblera' ions as
these:

The president may have good rea

the country, and the whole situa
tion is one of the most remarkable
mysteries of modern statecraft, and

HE RELATEDTHE HARDSHIPS
The following clipping from the
Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch gives
an ’dea of the perfect mis
understanding the people of
the East have of Alaska
and things Alaskan. The article
appeared in the issue of February
2fi, and is here quoted intact:
“To live in frozen Alaska with
the thermometer registering from
40 to CO degrees below zero, requires
courage of a high order. \et to
"pan out" some nearly half a mil
lion of good quality and dust, isn’t so
dusty, is it? Duncan Campbell Mieh
ie. the subject of this sketch, is a
"Scot" whom the "Colonel" met on
the Western trip across the At
lantic. and to hear Duncan relate
the hardships of the frozen North
was to recall the descriptions of
scenes in that latitude by Rex
Beach, in his novels, "The Silver
Horde,” and the "Barrier.” Mr.
Michie goes up to the famous gold
Eldorado in the spring, and with
his partners commences to "pan out
from their claim tha quartz dust,”
to return in the fall to Fairbanks
or Spokane. To hear this canny
“Scot” talk of Alaska, and its min
eral wealth, makes one feel like im
proving Horace Greeley's famous ad
V .ng Man!"

ternoon by dog team rcute for the
Big Chena hot springs. Jack feels
that he needs a rest, for some rea
son known only to himself, and
las fixed up a story about being
sick. His friends believe t lint tbe
unwonted exertion of riding behind
his dogs to the springs will ef
fectually destroy any hallucinations
he may harbor regarding indiges- j
tlon.
