City Council.

The Monday evening meeting of the city council was busy one. Petitions were presented by property owners on D street, between Second and Fourth streets, and on North Second street, asking that said streets be plank ed in compliance with ordinance No. [. After Investigating the matter the council ordered that hearing be had on Sept. 29th to decide as to whether such improvements are necessary.
 Mir. John ,McWilliams appeared be- fore the council and stated that Pound Master Grayerock had killed his dog, on which he had paid city tax, and asked that the council pay him S125 as the value of the dog and cost of hunt ing same. After Investigating, the council postponed action, pending more light on the subject.

'The Douglas Island News, which is Gov. Brady's latest champion, says that Gov. Brady holds the place of honor and trust he does because of his ack- nowledged good judgment and ability
 "How about the good Judgment and ability of that republican convention which demanded bis removal from of- flee by a vote of A to 1?"-Skagway Alaskan.
 We deny the allegation. Good judg- ment and ability? IndeedI We never accused republican convention of any such thing.

First Impressions.

To one travelling Northward for the first time, Alaska presents series of sver-shifting scenes, each more wonder full than the last. It is a grand pano- rama of Nature, which cannot fail to impress the most careless observer, while to the lover of Nature in all her forms of beauty, it is source of un- bounded wonder and delight. One gazes, lost in admiration at some strik- ing scene, and involuntarily the thought arises, "What could be more beautiful?" But little farther on the way another splendid vista answers the question.
 And so one goes from glory unto glory" as it were-past mountains clad in heavy robes of green, and lifting proud heads, rlacier crowned, in naughty silence far above the gleaming, restless sea; past sheltered coves, so peaceful and inviting that one longs to rest forever in some quiet nook, far re- moved from the turmoil of modern life; past cataracts, tumbling hundreds of feet down the face of some steep cliff, to dash impetuously into the waves be- meath; past tiny islands, dotting the waters expanse in bewildering confu- sion, until at last the conclusion is forced upon one that here indeed is Ma ture in her most prodigal mood.
 AS far as the eye can reach, hills fading into the blue distance; the mist rising in wreaths like smoke; patches of snow scattered about between jag ged, drowning rocks; wide expanses of water, of rare, deep green, now calm and unrufied, now raging in sullen wrath; glaciers, gleaming cold and blue in their rocky beds-where could one find elsewhere such variety and grand eur? And when the warm sunlight dances over it all, bathing hill and vale, glacier and sea in its soft radiance, the picture is complete.
 It must be confessed that, in this coast region at least, one looks forth more frequently at gray and misty landscape, blurred with rain and draped with clouds, and listening to the steady monotonoas drip, one wishes rather re- gretfully that Dame Nature had been just little less prodigal in the matter of rainfall.
 But there is compensation in all things, and the gold which might have been utilized as sunshine has been buried deep in the earth, where hund- reds of men are employed in digging and delving for the shining particles.
 And the bright days-for they do come-seem all the brighter by con- trast. The sun shines so broadly when he does show his bashful face that eV- erything seems transfgured, and val ley, plain and mountain take on new beauty. But truly there is a magnii- cence in it ala sense of largeness and freedom. And the people seem to have caught the infection, with their sociability, independence and generosi-

The Skagway Alaskan in defense of its statement previously made: that it, and it alone, holds the right to speak for the people of Alaska, says that skagway is in favor of territorial form of government, that Juneau used to be, that Ketchikan is yet, and that it believes that Nome would be if heard from. If our friend on the borders of British territory still contends that the towns mentioned constitute all of Alaska, we are ready to close the argu- 1pent. We will admit that the "All- Alaska" conventions of the past have been made up iu some such manner. We admit that when two or three of the leading political spirits of S. E. Alaska feel called to meet together in mass convention, they never hesitate to dub themselves the whole thing.

As an indication of the spirit of pa triotism in the hearts of Alaskans, we cite the large attendance at the Me Kinley memorial service held at the Congregational church last Sunday evening. The attendance was made up of people of all creeds and classes, as- sembled to do honor to the Nations dead. It is indeed 8 wonderful thing that Alaskans should retain such a love for the Nation and its institutions that has shown nothing but neglect for Alaska. It all goes to prove that true American hearts will always cling to the mother country, in spite of a neglect that becomes almost cruelty. 1t does seem that our President and our Congress might spare little of the time that is being so layishly bestowed upon the Filipino to investigate the needs of people so loyal to the flag of their country.

EDITOR UNIoN:-I see by my UNION
dated April 25th that a lot OF our hon.
orable stockmen offer a reward of $500
for Information leading to the arrest
and conviction of any person running,
driving or molesting their stock on the
open range. Now, Mr.. Editor, I would
like to know what manner of men these
are. | can only compare them to an
animal that walks on four feet and
tries to gobble up everything in its
way, appearing to feel very bad when
it finds it cannot do it.
know the most of those men-they
are all big stockmen-and they all have
plenty of land fenced, and some of them
have, to my own knowledge. fenced
hundreds OF acres of government land
in order to keep other people off Of 1t.
Then they turn their thousands of head
of cattle out on the rest of it and have
the nerve to offer a reward of $500 for
the arrest and conviction of Il poor man
for driving these cattle away from his
own ranch in order to protect himself
and save little feed for his own little
bunch of stock.
A year or two ago I happened to be
driving some of the cattle belonging tc
one of these big cattlemen, off some OF
my own land which I intended fencing
as soon as could get aronnd to it
The owner of the cattle came along
and was very angry, and rehearsed the
same old lingo about the range belong
lag to one man the same as another
adding that had no right to drive
them off. At the same time he hat
hundreds of acres Of government lant
illegally fenced and was still fencing
more.
| At assessment time these big cattle
men give in about one-third or one
half OF their stock and pay no taxes OF
the rest. Then they fence governmen
land to winter them on, paying no ia,
on that. Yet if they find poor gran
ger driving their cattle away from hi
own fence TO save his crop they viii
come around and chirp about the rang,
