MAYOR
OPPOSED
EXTENSION
Said Freight Cars In Streets
Are Not Wanted by Resi-
dents Of EImw0Od.

I, The matter OF the proposed extension
Of the Rhode Island company's rails TO
Che estate OF the Park Brew company
on Elmwood avenue was considered by
the Joint committee OF the city council on
railroads yesterday afternoon and Mayor
Miller, who was present. took occasion TO
speak against the granting OF permis-
sion.
Vice President A. T. Potter was pres
snt at the meeting and explained the
proposed location Of the tracks
Mayor Miller said that people In Elm
wood had complained about these heavy
cars which run close TO the houses and
cause a great tumble and Jar. II even
cracked the plastering. some said, ana
he asked II II was necessary to run two
cars together. or had a right TO do so on
Elmwood avenue. He asked II this new
spur would not tend to increase freight
traffic on this thoroughfare. Mr.. Potter
said this latter result would probably
follow but said that In case two cars
were run together they were probably
Rmpties and that every carload OF freight
will do away with five or six loaded teams.
He stated also that the light rails on
Elmwood avenue would be replaced with
tracks might be laid In the middle Of
the street for the sake OF safety.
Fred f. Perkins. representing the Park
Brew company. stated that he hoped the
laying OF the spur track as requested I'm
the petition would be allowed as II would
greatly facilitate loading and unloading
the cars and would permit the work 10
be done at the building instead OF OF
the street -
No objection was made TO the petition
for rails from Eddy street 10 the Amer
Jean Screw company's works.
Other petitions were presented before
the committee from owen Mccormick and
others relative TO street car line IN
Douglas avenue: from the Rhode Island
company as lessee OF the Union Railroad
company asking permission TO lay rails
on Douglas avenue from Veazie street 10
O'Neil street; from T.. s. williams and
others relative to double track on the
Atwelfs avenue line. and also from the
Rhode Island company asking permis-
sion to lay rails for double track fr
Atwelfs avenue from Harris avenue 10
Tent street A
There was no opposition expressed 10
the petitions. and the committee hello
tnem for further consideration

Within the next few weeks the Classical
high school on Summer street wfll have
department fully equipped with apparatus
necessary for a complete up to date lab
oratory. When completed this department.
will be second to none I'm any part or the
country. This has been n crying need lot
some years though the absolute Necessity
of such a department was not apparent 10
all until the standard OF entrance INTO
the universities had been raised. For this
reason when the school was completed
some years ago no calculation was made
for the building OF such a department ana
IL was n puzzle to those In authority 10
know lust how to overcome the diniculty.
The case was all the more aggravating
for the reason that there was no appro-
pr1ation made in the school funds for
such an arrangement. The crisis was met
however. by the city council when they
appropriated the sum necessary for the
needed repairs.
When that was done the rest was plain
sailing except for the matter or time III
which to complete the work. As the
work OF fitting up laboratory was com
menced in January. two rooms on the
ton floor being assigned for that purpose
THE task of preparing the rooms for the
apparatus has been rushed under the per-
sonal supervision OF Prof. Adams. who
has done much OF the work himself In
putting in the wiring for electricity. and
rooms are now nearly ready for occu-
pancy. one room Is fitted with gas, water
and other such appliances as are requisite.

will be installed.

THIS IS NOT A DREAM.

Nome, during the past few days, has witnessed a large exodus of people, many of whom known, by virtue of years of residence 'old-tmers" These go to spend the winter in a more congenial cline, leaving behind them other old timers and chechakos to endure the rigors of Arctic climate" And yet the winter climate in this section of Alaska is one that makes good red blood and promotes health and activity of both body and mind If doubts the health giving qualities of Arctic ozone he has only to look into the faces of the children of Alaska who are being born and reared here. In fact the unbeliever may be assured that in a bracing climate, such as high attitudes provide may be found the best types of physical perfection.
 It is not the climate, however, but the long period of isolation that mpels people to seek other section when winter approaches. The time has not yet come when Nome can hold its summer popua- tion. This will not be until such time that employ ment can be obtained throughout the year. or Nome has uninterrupted transportation facilities with the "outside world" Both these will come, and before many years. As we have suggested elsewhere in these columns the era of quartz mining which means a permanent population, is fast approaching and railroads, the precursors of permanent civilization will bring the renrotest corner of Alaska within quick reach of the centers of civilization.

MUNICIPAL PARTISAN POLITICS.

A number of prominent citizens of Nome have recently suggested the drawing of party lines in mu- nicipa affairs and the suggestion has been received with considerable favor in many quarters. As a rule the admixture of partisan politics with things munic ipal has not proven satisfactory. This has been found be the in several of the great cities of the United States and men of divergent political faiths have aside their partisan prediectons for the common good This is the case in New York City, today, where of opposite political opinions have united for the purpose of obtaining good clean government" There others-political econo- mists among the number-who stoutly maintain that honest civic other government only be ob- tained when political party and not individuals, are held esponsible for the of the elected place and power.
 As far municipal politics in Nome are concern ed we are inclined to think that any change from the of misrule, mismanagement and recklessness that has marked the history of this town since it was incorporated, would be welcomed Under the ystem that has been followed men utterly unfit to occupy any public position, have found seats in the city council; the veriest fakirs have been able secure votes enough to secure their election Without dol lar to lose a cent at stake, they have been able to defeat far superior men. Worth has not counted; gall and nsufferable impotence have been given the laurel wreath In a community of this kind self-gov- ernment to be not the great panacea which we have been led to believe that it is the of respon- sbity sits lightly upon the average citizen, and hence it is that fakrs, rresponsbles and imbeciles find themselves placed in positions where they do much harm and at the same time bring popular gov ernment into dsrepute.
 If the introduction of partisan politics will purge Nome of it's political fakirs, harpies and all around misfts, and give the people honest, economical government, it should be welcomed.

SEATTLE AND ALASKA.

Seattle practically controls the trade of Alaska, and Seattle knows it. If San Francisco were alive to it's interests it would attempt at least to obtain a share, but San Francisco business men do not seem to be up to date Seattle has outtripped the city by the Golden Gate in the race for Aaska's trade The same is the with rich and lethargic Portland. Long since her merchants ceased to care bout slice of the trade of the growing North San Francisco, gross and somnolent far as the Northern trade is concerned, did make some effort to hold the trade which she practically controlled But her younger and apparently more vigorous rival has dis tanced her in the competitive The result is that in Alaska one hears Seattle every tongue but only and then indirect reference San Fran cisco. Seattle is the shipping port for nearly all Alaska's commerce. From that place nearly all the goods consumed in Alaska are brought nearly all the steamships the Alaska run have Seattle as their home port. Seattle would prosper if she com manded only the trade of Alaska, and yet for the greater part her business are narrow and beral in their dealings with the people of Alaska This is because they know that they control the trade Con- scous of the fact the Seattle business man too ire quently is inclined to that Alaska is a pocket borough of his city. Seattle merchants exhibit ten dency to stick it on" the Alaska who trades in Seattle and during the past summer not few Alaskans have found it to their profit to transfer which, like its sister city of Portland while little heard of, manages to do little business now and then with this great Northern commonwealth.
 The interest taken by the people of Seattle in Alaska is, of course, purely commercial There is no
