COUNCIL AND
 WATER COMPANY
A Disagreement as to the Amount Which the Water Company
 Should Charge the City.

The difficulty between the city coun- cil and the Nome Water Company re- garding the price to be paid by the city for water for fire purposes. was the principal feature of the regular meet ing of the city council on Monday night. A petition was read from a number of business men on Front street asking that the council enter into no new contract with the water company and that the council establish a uni form rate to be charged by the con- pany. The petitioners claimed that the water company had no franchise and were charging neither reasonable nor uniform rates, further claiming that the city is entitled to free water for fire purposes and public buildings. City Attorney Hoggatt submitted a re- port which embodied the same idea, and the report suggested that the mat ter of fixing water rates be left to dis interested parties. The report was
 filed, the understanding being that the council and water company should con- fer with . view to arranging an am- icabls settlement of the dispute.

Mail From lIiamn1 Reached

BUT iT IS KISSING
Probably SldetraCkcd in One of the Yukon's Many Mouths The ln- noko Country a Steamer From Dawson Reached NulatO.

Al Bartlett, q well known old-timsr of the Yukon, came down from Anvik, having reached Nome from St Michael on the Saddle. Mir. Bartlett was con- tractor for the Trans Alaska Company, and he is prone to confess that the con cern made a complete failure the past season.
 He says it was reported at Holy Cross that q large quantity of mail arrived there from Iiamna and was sent down the river in small boat. If this be SO, he says, the boat could not have taken the main channel of the Yukon, but one of the numerous mouths, and has been thus sidetracked.
 This statement is borne out by Michael DOwd, who is recently from the kuskok vim Mr. Dowd says it was reported that about May IS or 20 four men left the Russian Mission for St. Michael with 1900 pounds of mail. but they had not reached that point.
 MT. Bartlett also states that the h. noko strike is mythical. He was up in that section during the winter, and net . dollars worth of gold has been found in that section.
 Chris Betsch, one of the Innoko early stampeders, is at Anvik chopping hrewood, and number of others are at work at various points along the lower river.
 The steamer ryrrell came down from Dawson to Nulato and returned with a scow loaded with goods which was left there last fall According to Mr. Bart lett the Tyrrell brought number of passengers as far as Eagle. where they were left, owing to some customs regu- lations, the Tyrrell being British hnQt

Postmaster Frantz Sends an Interest
ing Letter to Congressman H. A.
Cooper This Morning.
GREAT GROWTH OF OFFICE.
Post Office Business in Kenosha During the
Past Ten Years has More Than Doubled
New Building Necessary.

Postm aster Charles Frantz has be-
gun to work for a new public building
at Kenosha, and this morning he for
Warded a letter to Congressman H. A.
Cooper which will give the committee
on building and grounds complete
history of the demands of Kenosha
and the reasons why the building
should be ordered constructed at the
earliest possible date. In his letter
Capt. Frantz takes up the business of
the office during the past ten years
and the report is most favorable one
for the city. He shows that in popu-
1ation Kenosha has had a growth of
more than one hundred per cent in the
ten years, and the increase in the bus
mess of the post office has more than
kept pace with the ever increasing
population. According to the figures
presented by Capt. Frantz the postal
receipts in 1891 were Sc, 276.37, while
the receipts for last year aggregated
$50, 174.O1. Even a greater growth is
found in the money order department
of the post office, and during the last
year this department of the office
touched the high figure of $o7, 621.66.
The floor space now occupied by the
office is the same as was occupied ten
years ago, when the post Office had
but two men employed, and today
fourteen men find employment in the
office.
The office of the postmaster occupies
only forty-6ve square feet, while the
room allowed for the carriers is only
$50 square feet. The lobby to the
money order office has a total of
twenty-eight square feet of floor space,
and often six or seven people are
crowded into this small room while
waiting to have orders issued or cash
ed. There is absolutely no room in the
office for the storing of records and in
many cases imperfect records have re-
suited wholly from the lack of room in
which to keep a record. Continuing
Capt. Frantz says: "There is abso-
lutely no store room in Kenosha suit
able for post Office which could be
provides suitable building, the post
office will have to remain in this build
ing no matter how much the business
might increase" Capt. Frantz also
states that he is of the opinion that no
private individual would erect a build
ing without the government taking
lease of at least ten years. In con-
Guiding his letter Mr.. Frantz says:
GAS our city in the past has shown a
steady healthy increase, which [ am
convinced will continue, think an ap-
preparation for $4,000 would not be
too large. However, we will have to
be thankful for less if larger amount
can not be secured.

River and HarbOr Committee will Re-
commend a Survey to See What
is Needed at the Two Cities.
COOPER URGES SOME ACTION.
Appears Before Committee in Person and
Secures Their Promise TO ACT for the
Good of the FIRST District Cities.

Congressman H. A. Cooper has writ
ten letter TO one of his friends in
Racine, stating that he has interview
ed the River and Harbo~ Committee IN
regard to additional work on the har-
bors at Racine and Kenosha, and that
the prospects for the work being done
are very bright After the matter was
presented to the members Of the com
mittee on last Wednesday the members
of the committee unanimously agreed
to favor the passage of a bill author
izine new survey of the two harbors
and this will probably be reported to
the House within the next few days.
This survey will undoubtedly be
made during the present year and the
claims of ali parties in regard to the
improvements demanded at the two
cities will be laid before the committee.
The work has been delayed on account
of the fact that Engineer Warren has
made no recommendations for the
further work on the harbors. Not
withsta nding this fact several people
in the two towns have written personal
letters to Mr.. Cooper urging that he
secure the passage of a special Dill
providing for the supply.
The plans of the parties urging the
passage of the bill for the survey pro-
vide for the lengthening of the break
waters in such manner as TO get rid
of the high seas in the harbors. 1t is
said that under the present conditions
it is impossible for vessel to remain
safely in the Racine harbor and the
conditions at Kenosha are nearly as
bad. The work asked for in the two
cities will demand an expenditure of
about $75, 900, but when it is completed
the two harbors will be suitable for
use as harbors of refuge.
If the survey is made during the
present year it is probable that the bill
ordering the appropriation of money
for the additions to the works at the
two cities will be passed a year hence
and the work will then be done at
once.
The shippers of Kenosha have taken
a great interest in these proposed
plans and several petitions signed by
leading men of the city have been sent
to the representative of the district
urging immediate action.
