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, : *>'! ■ Unit beet, taken tu- ard th* format lot. ot sueh an crganizatlor hs would be necessary if no nei! action Is ’<> he obtained Knougl enthusiasm would at m,. in arous ed if the movement wa nine start »■ 1 and tlo Ct is a'-o 'he < ertainty that purses worth v. hi! would be subs, ribed for one or mere annual evt nts.

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. At a distance Esperanto looks like a scholarly vindication of th< typographical error. — Washingtor Star. SOME AWKWARD QUESTIONS When engross convene' in t'Vr.i session s< me awkward questions ar« sure to l.e tired at the president.

"If this means anything It means war. To all intents and purposes it is the beginning of hostilities against tiie Mexican republic."

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.
