FROM HAYNES.
districts,

The residents of this place all seem to realize how pleasantly they arc situ- ated, and we'll they may. For, all things considered, Haines has no peer as 6 townsite in southeastern Alaska. They also know that life is too short to har- bor petty personalities; and to be broad and generous in their views is the right way to cultivate feeling of amity and good fellowship with your neighbor, and it is to be hoped that they also appreciate the golden oppor- tunities at their very doors, that only requires their united efforts to bring forth an era of good times that will benefit them all alike.
 To-day all eyes are turned toward this country, for the reason that Alaska is the only frontier that the United States has left. And the indomitabIe American spirit will push to the front. There is a vast amount of money in the East that is looking for a more profit able investment than a 1 per cent bond And even now there is an incoming tide of prosperity whose first rippling waves are heard upon the pebbly beach of Portage bay, to-day. Then let us unite and act in harmony as one per son in the mutual interest and general welfare of this town and district, and extend a hearty welcome to those seek ing new fields for investment.
 Yes, our lines have fallen in pleasant places. There is no grander scenery in the world than here; and there is enough pure and invigorating ozone among these old, rugged, snowcrowned peaks for everyone. There are untold millions of dollars worth of the precious metals in our rockbound coast, and old ocean carries in her heav- ing bosom food supply sufficient for us all.

Think of lt.

An effort was made some time ago to raise money to build walk from the saw mill to Treadwell along the line of the old railroad track. We are now in- formed that this project has been aban doned by the parties having it in hand. There is probably no one thing that would convenience so many people as the completion of this walk. Two churches, a hospital, a laundry, the ar mory and many dwelling houses are reached only over this track, besides the continual travel between this city and the mines.
 A number of business men and others are willing to contribute literally, and we believe that it only requires a united action, and sufficient funds will imme- diately be forthcoming This is busi- ness proposition. Think of it.

TROUBLE IN TAHKEEN.
When Can Timers Make Local Laws For
 District Government?
;kagway Daily Alaskan.

AAaaS@AN-
 Skagway Daily Alaskan.
 The miners of the Tahkeeu district who have spent the summer there are pursuing a course which will undoubt- edIy result in litigation. Early in the season they held meeting and adopt ed district regulations. One provision of this local law is that every claim owner must do his SlOO worth ofassess- ment work on or before September 15 of this and succeeding years, or the ti- tie to the claim would be forfeited and the same would be open to relocation. Under the national law, claim owner locating a claim and perfecting the rec ord in January of any year has twenty three months in which to do the first assessment work of S1OO, for it appears that the locator is not required to do such work for the year in which the mine is located, and he has all of the succeeding year in which to do it. Those claim owners who have not done their assessment work in the Tahkeen district maintain that the miners have no right to make laws affecting claims which have already been located; but that if they want to regulate the district they should do so when the first mines are discovered. The national law pro- vides that the miners of district may make regulations which donot reduce the restrictions provided in the nation al law, and under this provision the Tahkeen miners have undertaken to say the mines must be worked this year and before the middle of September; but some leading lawyers assert that the absent. claimants have vested rights which the district laws cannot legally disturb

Juneau's Misfortune.

Juneau is in the midst of factional fight over the matter of the selection of delegates to the convention. This is unfortunate, and the town will suffer by it. You won't find any such foolish ness at Skagway. That town will send down her best men-there will be no factional fighting there when the town interests are at stake.
