ISSUE CALL
Republicans Will Have Con-
 vention November 10

The republicans of Alaska will con vene in regular delegate convention November 10, for the purpose of select ing six delegates and six alternates tc the national republican convention which will nominate candidates for president and vice president to be voted for at the national election to take place one year from next November.
 The convention will have l46 dele gates, if all the towns are represented. While the republican national conven- ton has not yet been called, the call of the republican committee, which Is signed by Oscar Foote, as chairman, and T. A. Marquam, secretary, states that the convention will be held early with the consent oi the national com mittee.
 The call provides for the election of six delegates, while heretofore the re- publicans have only seated four dele gates from the territories, Alaska and the district of Columbia. However this too, is probably from an intimation from the national committee that the six will be seated.
 The call asks that primaries be held In the several towns as soon as possible and without further notice.

NO SEWER
Council Thinks System Too
 Expensive Just Now

The Skagway City Council, at It's meeting last night, decided against spending money on a sewer system this fall. A motion that the matter be taken up, which was laid on the table for one week at the last meeting, was laid on the table last night without any strings to it. It is there indefinitely, and the probabilities are that 1t will stay there. Those who had investi' gated the matter were satisfied that the cost of a sewer system would be from 5000 to s9O,OOO, depending upon the extent of the work done. It was thought other things were needed more.
 The ways and means committee re- ported that it would cost the city about sllOO to get clear title 10 the old Fire mems hall for city purposes. lt asked for more time before making reeom- mendations, as 1t was desired to ascer- tain from Maj. Terrett how long it would be before the city could get pos session.
 The matter of Q pool of stagnant water under building on Broadway, at the alley between Sixth and Seventh avenues, was referred to the committee on health and police with power to act.
 A petition was presented praying that one of the arc lights be placed at the corner of Broadway and Fifth av- enue.
 A discussion was aroused over a com plaint that the soil, together with the sod on the same was being hauled away from the river bank, near Ninth av- enue, making the protection against an overflow less. The matter went to the committee on public works and public
