Good Speeches at ArmOry
 Hall Meeting.
ONLY ONE SENTIMENT
J. c. Price, E. o. Sylvester and T. A. Shorthill Make Convincing Argu- ments for the City's Advance ments--Meeting Tonight.

Though the public me- ting last night at the Armory was not strong in numbers, 1t was Samson in the strength of the argu- ments advanced for incorporation. If there were any present who did not favor incor- roratlon they kept their views to them selves.
 The hall was not more tEan half filled when the meeting was called to order. J. w. Troy was chosen chairman. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. J. C.. Price, E. O. Sylvester and T. A. Short- hill.
 MT. Price, the first speaker, made time. lv and we'll considered argument in favor of incorporation. He secuted the idea that our people were not capable of self govern- ment. We stormed when Governor Brady advanced such contention. but now our own people were backing him up in his foolish position. He maintained that tax alton would not be heavier under the new order of things than at present, while it would be equally distributed. He pointed out that school children would be educated at home instead of sent abroad if we had good schools. He believed our people could be trusted. If he did not believe so he would not remain in the town. "Our people have made fight tor this, now let them show themselves worthy of it," he said.
 E. o. Sylvester who followed MT Price, made clear able and exhaustive ar gument in favor of incorporation. He cov' cred the entire ground and his convincing arguments made splendid impression. He favored incorporation because it was Skagwav's opportunity to be the first city in Alaska; because our taxes would not be heavier than at present and all would have to pay their share; because we need public schools. A storm of applause was given at the close.
 MT. Shorthil followed in short but conclusive argument on the same line. He called those who opposed incorporation parasites who desired to live on others. It was decided to call another meeting for tonight, at the Armorv, when especially all those opposing incorporation were re quested to be present.

PROPERTY OWNERS
 ONLY GAN vO|E Election Officers Instructed By Judge Brown.
REALTY NOT NECESSARY
Australian Election System Will Be Followed as Nearly as Possible OHicial Ballots Will Be Provided
 Further Instructions to Follow.

The election board met yesterday eve ming, and consulted with Judge Brown as to the qualifications of voters and rules and regulations for the conduct of the election to be held tomorrow.
 Jndee Brown advised that there could be no question as to the law requiring a a property qualification in order to vote either upon the question of incorporation or for councilmeD and school directors. As to the term substantial property qualiflca- tions, it applies to both real and personal property. A man who is keeping house. owning his furniture and household goods will be qualified voter.
 The election will be conducted as nearly as may be under the Australian election system. The election board will furnish official ballots, and no others will be re- ceived. All the candidates who are in nomination and whose names are handed into one of the judges on or before twelve o'clock today will be printed on the official ballot.
 There will be no eleotioDeering permitted within fifty feet of the polls and deputy U. s. marshal will be present to enforce this order.
 Challengers will be permitted, however, at the polling place, and the judges are permitted to examine those offering ballots on their oaths.
 The election officers are authorized to appoint two clerks to assist in the work.
 The board will meet to day and arrange further the details. regulations, and pres pare instructions to the voters.

Judge Browns Substantial
 Proposition to the People.
OFFER IS CONTINGENT
If Means for Fire Protection Are Placed Under Legal Control Court Will Order Public Buildings-- Depends Upon Incorporation.

If the people of Skagwav vote in favor of incorporationsthey will during the pres ent year have built within the city S5ooo courthouse and $3ooo jail. That is the effect of the statement made to the DAILY ALASKAN last evening by Judge Brown.
 The new code provides, amongst other things, that the license money collected by the clerk of the court shall be placed in the fine and forfeiture fund and held by the clerk of the court, to be expended by the judge of the court and the United States marshal.
 1t also provides that the judge of the district court may order constructed at any point where court is held the construction of a courthouse to cost $sooo and jail to cost 5000, if in his judgment the same is necessary.
 Referring to this matter yesterday, Judge Brown said:
 1.-The law provides for two terms of court to be held in Skagwav each year. There will be deputy clerk to reside here permanently. Such being the case, feel should be amply justified in ordering the construction of a courthouse and jail at SkagWay.
 "However, so long as your city has no means for fire protection under legal con troI, could not reasonably expend govern ment money to run the danger incld mt to probable fires.
 "lf your people will incorporate their city. think there is no doubt but that you will have a courthouse and jail this year"
