COUNCILMEN.

It seems that we will never get away from that lake stream ferry muddle. Last fall the chamber of commerce paid Rudolph Brothers $1S5 for bridges that were not in existence, and for ferry boat that was on the beach two miles from where it was to be operated. The understanding was the boat was to be put back in place, and turned over to the chamber of commerce. Now the Rudolph brothers claim they own the boat, and have fran chise to operate it. If the chamber of commerce would stop taking tl.e advice of every petty grafter that appears before it, and would act on the original plan of putting a bridge across this stream, they would be doing something. It is d simple matter to put bridge across the lake stream, at point near inc ferry, which would be in no danger of washing out. This bridge should be built and thrown open to the public, and do away with the idea of taxing a man to enter or leave town just to benefit some few individuals. The citizens of this town are public spirited enough to pay for such bridge, if the matter is put in the hands of people that haven't a reputation for jobbing the public.
 The city treasury now contains Al cents and tine license money due the city. now in the hands of the cleek of the district court, will not be accessible until an order is received from Judge Wickersham. The school fund is also depleted to 30 cents and the contractors who built the new school house are in dignant having taken the job on a cash basis, to find that they will have to wait possibly two months for their money. It is bad state of affairs, and it is to be hoped that the judge will arrange matters so that in the future the license money can be paid into the city treasury, as received, without q special order from the court each time.
 Valdez has now advanced several degrees. We have had a genuine old-fashioned Fourth of July celc- bration, barring the oration (Gus- tave Adolphus Brown was troubled with an impediment in his speech. so that was cut out) and regula- tioh circus. Who says we are not progressive?

About the Reservation.

For the past month report has
been current hereabcuts that the
Walker river reservation was about
to be thrown open TO white settlers
and prospectors. To learn the truth
the editor Of this paper wrote to our
United States Senators and those
entlemen furnish the information
that, "The Walker river reservation
was made subject to allotment by
the last Congress. An appropria-
ton for allotment and survey was
m ade at the last session. The reser
vation will net be thrown open until
survey has been made and allot-
ments in severalty have been made
70 the indians. The Department is
just about proceeding to take action
in the matter. After the survey and
allotments have been made procla-
nation will be issued by the Presi-
dent stating the terms on which the
reservation will be thrown open to
settlement. 1t will probably be six
months before anything definite can
be accomplished"

A curious performance was late
~ accomplished by an automobile in
Denmark. Copenhagen possesses q
circular tower 100 feet in height,
which was formerly used for astso'
nomicaf purposes. Its top is only
reached by ascending spiral pas
sage 70. feet broad which winds be-
tween the. outer wall of the tower
and an inner circular wall. From
the base to the top 1t is entirely
without steps. and the gradient is
seven inches per ell. An automobile
of fiye-horse power, weighing zoo
pounds, and carrying three persons
assembled the tower the other da<'
taking one minute for the journey
and afterward making the much
more dangerous descent with equal
success. 1t ia OF interest to recall
that the Gar Peter the Great. or
visiting Copenhagen In 'l7io. made
the same ascent and descent In Q
carriage drawn by four horses.
