without impairing the efficiency of the council as a representative body of the entire constituency 10 is settled lxim that in legislative bodies made
 as our council is that the interests
 the minor districts ars not best sub- 'e-vcd and that the mare influential faction dominates.
 For these and other good reasons we out here favor the elhtion of mem bers by districts or wards
 The people of that district have not discussed the bouudaries of the pro posed wards very much, and have no very defined idea as to where they she rld be. They are intensely. interest ed having a representative from thei end in the council and eonfne the iselves to the propaeating of that idea.
 lt has been suggested by some oi the down town residents who are in favor of having wards created that a division about as follov9 would be equitable:
 The dividing lines to ba avenues and to extend from bluf to bluf The first ward to include from th~Natcriront to Third avenue. the second from Third to Fifth. the third from Fifth 10 Sev- enth and the fourth, al of the re- mainder.
 City. Attorney Price has been re- questel to prepare an ooinion on the legality of the proposed division and ii he has it ready next Monday night when the council meets the plan will be brought up and discussed The question of the registration of voters has also been submitted to Mir. Price. That subject may also be called up at the meeting. The aim of those inter ested in the two propositions is to have them passed in time to Es them used at the next election.

Especial Dispatch to Daily Alaskan
 Dawson. May I.-Another disastrous fire occurred here today, commencing at rr:5o o'clock this forenoon. It ragged violently for over an hour and was only prevented spreading by the splendid work of the fremen. As it was some of the adjoining buildings were badly scared A strong wind from the south made the work of fighting the nImes very difficult. The buildings were wood and burned like finder.
 Considerable quantities Of the stocks were taken out and saved It was seen from the start that the structures could not be saved.
 Onc-half of a block was destroyed by the confagration.
 The principal losers were:
 Fairview Hotel.
 A.M.Kilgore. N. T.. NlHllb'
 ]. R. Gandolfo.
 All of the small stores were de- stroyed.
 The lowest estimate of the loss in money by the fire is S3s.ooo, while some believe it will foot up as high as S6oooo
 The big fire originated in Abraham's clothing store. The cause was a de- iective fue which is thought to have ig- nited the surrounding wood of the ceil- ing or roof The blaze had made con siderable headway when it was discov cred. An alarm was promptly turned in and the fire fighters responded very Ipromptly.

VANCOUVER
It Is Still on the Port of Call
 List of American Boats
The Rumored Action of tho Cam ndinn Pacific Company Shutting Competing Alaska Vessels Out Has Not Materialized As Yet

The American boats are still going into Vancouver. and SO far as can be learned at this end of the line the Ca nadian Pacific people have set no time when they will forbid the use of their wharvcs to competing lines. lt was thought this move would be made shortly when the association met in Seattle recently, but it has not been done and there seems to be no likeli- hood of it rght away Whenever it is done the American steamers will not touch at Vancouver for the very good reason that the British company owns the water front and an of the wharves.
 The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany seems to have paid no heed to the contemplated shut-out in gettine up ite new schedule. According to it. the State of California. which is to take the run oi the Cottage City. will make Vancouver a port of call on both north and south bound voyages. The Cottage City and the City of Topeka. as soon as she is ready for service will touch at Victoria both ways.
 When the Spokane comes on in June the schedule calls for what will aver age about a three-day service. The Humboldt people have also con cludtd to % after Vancouver business. The popular liner will hereafter touch there. She will call in on this trip up
 The Washington & Alaska Steam ship Company continues to send th. Seattle and Victorian into the British port.
 Another meeting of the association is understood 10 have been held about ten days ago. but no particulars have been received here.
