CHILDREN'S GUARDIANS
MAKE THEIR REPORT
Needs of the Various InSti-
tutiOnS Described.
NEW LAWS ARE ASKED
Legislation Wanted to Regulate Child
Labor in the Department
Stores.
NEW LAWS ARE ASKED

The tenth annual report of the Board
of Children's Guardians and an estimate
of money needed for 1904 and 1905 was
submitted to the Commissioners this
morning.
The report shows that the wards un-
der supervision this year have been 993,
of which 800 were girls. Three hundred
and forty-eight of all the children were
white. The total number OF children COM
mitted since the organization of the
board is 1.437. The average age of the
children was rs years.
Cost of Care.
The aggregate cost of board and care,
clothing and medical attendance Of
wards, and temporary charges not feeble
minded, including cost of administra-
tion and supervision, was S44,6s0.66.
On the basis of 351,1 days care
given to these children. excluding care
of children held on probation, the ad-
ministrative expenditures were at the
rate OF S245 a day and sS94 per annum
per capita. and the administrative and
maintenance expenditures together were
at the rate of $12.72 per diem, or
$4644 per annum per capita.
An increase in the number OF wards
attaining majority is occasioned by the
fact that until this year. majority was
not held TO be attained by girls until
they had reached the age OF twenty-one
years. but a new ruling having declared
that all girls came OF age as regard
their persons at the age of eighteen
years. the roll of wards was cleared of
all girls between the ages of eighteen
and twenty-one.
The board includes the following in
teresting report from J. W. Douglass,
one of its agents:
Some Recommendations.
81 am led to urge your attention to
certain measures which, in my judg-
ment. have a tendencv to reduce child
delinquency and child-dependency. 1
favor the establishment of a separate
Juvenile court, a new House of Deten-
tion containing a special room for
juvenile court purposes and an adequate
compulsory education law.
'T ask you to consider seriously the
need of a law regulating child labor in
stores, shops. etc. and on the streets
and a law regulating attendance of chill
dren at places of amusement. and also
law requiring a license for parties tax
ing infants and young children to board
and placing such parties under the su-
pervision of the Board of Children's
Guardians"
The estimates for 1904 and 1905 call
for $1,000 for administrative purposes;
$1,000 for rent. and general expenses;
$74, 500 for maintenance of children.

MONEY ADVANCED BY W. 8.
 AMY TO PATENT
The Tovn5ite Of Valdez
Tax Ordinance Passed. H. W. Miller Elected Assess
 or.

The council got down to business Monday, and succeeded in dispos- ing of several important matters, which had been before them for some time.
 A crosswalk was ordered built across Front street on Keystone; and street lights were ordered in- stalled on corners of Keystone ave. and Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets. A petition was presented praying for these lights, which was signed by numerous prominent men.
 The rules were suspended and the new tax ordinance was adopted. The provides that all real and per sonal property in town shall be as- sessable on September 1st, and as- sessment must be completed by November 25th. The ordinance provides for a board of equaliza- ton to meet in December 1st. The rate of the levy is to be fixed by the council before December 1st. Taxes become delinquent on fourth Monday in January. The ordin- ance will be published in full next week.
 There were three candidates for the office of assessor, Geo. Baldwin. Chas. Hand, and Tom Magill. Af- ter the first ballot it was a dead lock between Baldwin and Hand, until the seventh member of the council was hunted up, when a dark horse, H. W. Miller, was nominated, and the final ballot re- suited, Miller 4, Baldwin 1 and Hand 1.
 w. $. Amy made . proposition to advance the money necessary to obtain a patent to the townsite, and his offer was gratefully accepted. The preliminary steps in this mat ter will be attended to at once, and the residents of Valdez will soon have clear title to their property. It has not yet been decided wheth- CT to secure patent for whole sec ton or lesser amount.

The Banquet.

Last Friday . banquet was given by the citizens to Messrs Robt. Blei. c. w. White and s. s. Thorpe, prior to their departure for the east. A very elaborate spread was served at Wikidel's, with plates for over 35. The feast was much en- ioyed, cigars were then served and speaking began.
 Judge GoOdell acted as toastmas- ter, and after a few appropriate re- marks called upon Hon. B. F. Mil. lard, who promptly responded in his usual masterful manner; and so the responses went on down ths line, eulogistic of the guests for th. good they are doing in this section of Alaska, and especially of Mir Blei for the gritty manner in whicl he has stayed with the country against all odds, as we'll as for hi success in attracting capital in thi, direction. Judge Godfrey, of Niz ina district, was heard from durins the evening.

Work at Oil Bay.

The Alaska Petroleum Co. opera ting at Oil Bay. have sunk one well to depth of 1863 feet, in which they are getting a heavy, high grade oil having a parafine base; but at present they are much both- cred with water which seeps in from the bay. This they expect to soon stop and anticipate no further trouble.
 They have put up sawmill, and are now saving lumber for two more derricks to be set up for bor- ings to be begun early next spring.
 The country all about Oil Bay is purely an oil region. Springs of oil are found in many places from some of which as much as five to six gallons per week can be secured. A bottle of the seepage was left at this office as a sample.

Cold Bay Oil.

Cold Bay is looming up as the oil rival of Kayak vicinity, without prejudice to the admirable develop ments in Cook Inlet. In the vicin- ity of Cold Bay more than 6OO,OOO acres of oil locations have been made. At one place there is an oil lake covering twenty-five acres and six feet deep. Two wells have been put down this year, and one has struck oil at 600 feet deep. High grade lubricating. While there arc large investors there they are de, sirous of keeping matters quiet, fol no boom or rush is wanted.

Fatal Accident at sunrise.

Sunrise, Aug. 22-Mr. Hugh Anderson, an old and respected citizen of this place, who had his foot crushed at Girdwood's claim on Crow creek the last of July, was brought to his home at this place where he was cared for by kind friends. who did all in their power for his relief and benefit. There being no doctor here, however, he was taken down the Inlet to Kenai where Dr. Mills, of Wood Island was spending a few weeks. Dr. Mills, seeing that amputation was necessary, took MT. Anderson with him to Wood Island, where the op- eration was performed. He sur vived the operation and was ration al for several hours afterwards, but the shock was so great that he died. His wife was with him to the end, and all was done that it was possi. ble for kind friends to do. The body was buried at Wood Island MT. Anderson was Californian, a member of the Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias, and had been resident of this place for the pas, eight years.

New Mail Contract.

Sealed proposals will be received by the Second Assistant Postmaster General until October 1st, 1903, for carrying the United States mails from December lst to April 3Oth, 1904, from Valdez by mouth of the Chistuchina river, Chisna, mouth of Delta river, Fairbanks and Cinema, to Panama, Alaska, 62O- miles, and back, once a month. on schedule of not exceeding p days running time each way, carrying any class of mails the department may elect, not exceeding POO lbs. for each single trip.
 The bond to accompany the bids for the above is in the sum $lO. 900. Bids will bo received for twice a month service over the above route with a bond of $20,0OO.
 The importance of this service to Valdez can hardly be over-esti- mated. In case one of these con- tracts is let, and the service per formed in a satisfactory manner, the ultimate outcome will be that all of the mail for the American Yukon during the winter months will be forwarded from this place. And it is we'll known fact that travel and trade follow the course of the mails. This is a matter that all well wishers of Valdez will be interested in.

Went 10 White Rii.er.

Last winter Harry Fitch, Clar- ence Warner, Joe Dalton and Nick Meckin made up an expedition and left here over the snow for White river. They went over the usual route to the Nizina, thence overthe Scoli pass to the head of the White river. After prospecting they pass ed on to Snag river and other tribu- tuaries, the party then went to the Shasana and Nabesna, prospecting all the while.
 The country is largely formed of mica schist and slate, and is well mineralized with low grade ore of copper and iron..
 No placer ground was found of any consequence, and they made no locations on any oi the ore bod ies, as they were under present con- ditions too low grade. But if ever transportation facilities are offered into that section, they believe the country will prove rich in large bodies of low grade ore.
 The gentlemen mentioned re- turned to town this week.

On Knight's Island

Messrs Kramer, Lawrence and Reams arrived here on Wednesday from Knights Island, where they located six claims. known as the Apollo group. The ledge is forty feet wide and has sandstone hang ing wall and country rock foot wall. They ran in a drift eighteen feet and cross cut about twenty feet. Some samples were left with the assayer at Ellamar, and the re- suits show over thirty per cent. cop per. The locatOrs have refused t. give an option onthe property, and Reams will leave here as soon as possible to organize a company in the States to open up and develop the property. It will probably prove one of the best discoveries or the Sound.

Territorial Convention.

It is stated that the chamber of commerce will tomorrow night elect delegates to the proposed ter ritorial convention to be held in Juneau in October.
 It has been given out by the NEWS and other advocates of terri territorial government, that the committee of the chamber consider ing the call from Juneau would arrange public meeting so that the citizens of Valdez might ex- press themselves. Now it appears after canvass it is deemed safer, by the political wire-pullers, to elect delegates in the close coterie of the chamber.
 What franchise has this chamber of commerce to decide or express the political sentiments of this com- munity? By what right do they delegate to themselves the privilege of declaring the political preferences of hundreds of citizens?
 They seem to forget that peti- tions and mass meetings may undo all that the chamber may do. and likely cripple it's future power fo, the good of Valdez. FAIRpLAY.

THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are SO apparent that we are al
most ashamed to talk about them.
They stick right out like the nose
on your face, But, as Marcus
Aurelius might have said, if he
had thought of it: eff a man
blow not his own horn, the same
it shall not be blowed. And
our Office boy says he'll be blowed
# he can see why we should hide
our light under a half bushel.
So to save argument we are
willing to admit that there is no
light that even approaches the
electric light in quantity Of light
fadiated all around the room.
The quality of the light you
can see for yourself. Electric
lights give a strong, clear, vivid
white light. That is what is de
manded today, pure white light
and plenty Of it.
If cur points are not clear 10
you, it is undoubtedly due to the
fact that your light is poor. If
you will put IN a full equipment
Of electric lights the whole sub
iect will be made beautifully
luminous, and we will have peace
IN the family.
