San Francisco Papers Object to Senator NeISOn'S Bill for Build.
 ing a Nome Wharf.
Special CorrespondenceJ )


 San Francisco, Jan. 20. Governor | Brady has just returned to Sitka. after arranging with the Alaska packers here for fish exhibits at the St. Louis exposition. Mrs. Mary. F.. Hart ac- companies the governor, in order to work under his direction in organizing women $ clubs in Southeastern Alaska, the ob ieCt of the clubs being to provide exhibits for the fair While here the governor was entertained extensively, and made many interesting talks, all teudlng to enllghten the ignorance of the general public regarding Alaska's immense resources. The Nome people however. complained that Governor Brady seemed more interested in boom ing Alaska pumpkins than Alaska gold. As Nome has not yet produced prize pumpkins. the Nome people felt d little worried at the agricultural direction of Governor Bradys speeches.
 B. G. Goodman is here, busy selling stock for the SawtOOth Power X Mining Co. They have an office in the Call building, and are enlightening the pub lie regarding the immense future for dltches in the great Nome country" They state: "Nearly every paying mine in seven inning districts, 22, 700 square miles, will pay tribute to our company" The shares are 50 cents each, and the company offers to pay POO to 4OO per cent per year on any invest ment made.
 Count Baranotf is another former Nome resident now staying here. It will be remembered that he spent the winter of l90O-l90l at the Golden Gate hotel and was supposed to be interested m securing Siberian concession. The count predicts that there will yet be trouble between the Russian govern ment and the company now holding the concession. He is now interested in tin mine in the East Indies, but being d subject of the czar and Russian sol dier, he is waiting here, expecting or ders to join regiment at Port Arthur or NladlvOstok, for things are looking backer again in the Orient, and many. both Japanese and Russians, are turn ing thelr steps home ward. All the re- sources of diplomacy are not vet eX- hausted, but the rate at which war sup plies are being shipped from this port to Asia shows thOt both sides mean to be ready for the fray If it comes.
 The papers here are raising d wall agaInst Senator Nelson's bill for the building of wharf at Nome. Evident ly the lighterage people know they have a good thing and mean. if they can, to knock out any wharf proposi- tion. There has been some desultory talk about people from Nome, interest ed in landing goods, to raise protest in favor of the bill. It Is doubtful whether any definite action will be taken, however.

Stevens wanted to know at whose ex- pense, and was informed by Mayor Bard, at the city's. To this Stevens objected on the ground that the other streets that had been improved were done at the property owners expense, and he saw no reason why the streets on which the mayor and Councilman Calvin lived should be exceptions Action was deferred until the city at torney could draw up an ordinance authorizing the calling of bids.
 Councilman Rowe created sensation by asking that a warrant be drawn on the fire fund, which is cash fund, for $697.6 in favor of the Nome News for

TO CURB THE
 CITY COUNCIL

A bill introduced in the senate by Senator Nelson, according to the San Francisco Call of February l, addresses itself to curbing the license of the city council at Nome. The council has heretofore fixed salaries at their plea ure; for instance, putting them up away up, when the official did things, lawful or unlawful, as they indicated they wished them done, and cutting them down when he showed disposi- tiOn to go his way, even though that way be the enforcement of law.
 The bill allows the council to fix sal aries of the mayor and other officials but, being fixed, not to change it dur ing their term of office. The time of all local elections is changed in this bill from April to July.

MONEY IS RAISED

Seattle, Feb. 6.-Actual work of con- struction on the Alaska Central rail- road is to begin this spring. The news that the money to build the railroad had been secured reached Seattle yes terday in d telegram to ex-Gov. John II. McGraw, one of the directors of the road, from General Manager Dickinson and John F.. Ballaine, secretary, who have secured the backing of six wealthy men of Chicago. The informa- tion from Chicago is of most positive nature. The telegram reads:
 "The papers for money to cover this years work were signed today, and the money is up. The Alaska Central will be built to Kenai lake, and possibly farther, this summer. Orders have been placed for rails, locomotives and cars for immediate delivery. Six of Chicago $ strongest capitalists are be- hind the deal.h
 The route already surveyed is from Seward situated on Resurrection bay, to Atwood, which taps the Panama mining district, a distance of 4l3 miles,

1 Work will begin on the Seward end l this spring. The distance tO Kenai
 lake is l9 miles. The engineers say
 the first 2J miles of the road from Seward will be the hardest of the line
 to build, and even this stretch offers no
 unusual objects.
 The road leaves the Pacific ocean by
 easy grades, and the grade over the entire 4l0 miles will not exceed more
 than per cent. The per cent grade
 is only for four miles.
 Dowdell X Co.,, one of the largest contracting firms of Chicago, ha, taken the contract to build the entire line Rails and other materials will be shipped from Seattle to Seward just aS fast as the mills can turn 1t out. The men who have made study of the route have figured it out that each sec tiOn of 20 or 30 miles will open up a new and independent field, which will put the road on paying basis from the start, without waiting for the en- tire line to be completed
 Resurrection bay was chosen as the southern terminus, for the reason that it is open to navigation the year around, and there is plenty of water in all parts of it. The thermometer there has never gone as low as zero any wir- ter since 1898. and the climate is much the same as that of Seattle.
 The Alaska Central will tap some of the richest country in Alaska. The forests of fir, spruce, hemlock and maple are very extensive, and the min eral resources are vast.
 Once the trunk line is built, a num- 1 Der of branch lines are in cUntempla- l tion, and ground that can not now be | worked because it costs too much to | pack in supplies will be developed. 1 The valleys traversed by the road are | capable of high development in an az riculturaI way.
 The directors of the road are nearly all well known Seattle men. They are: c. w. Dickinson, for years connected with the Northern Pacific and formerly | general manager of the Seattle Elec- tric Company: eX-SenatOr George Tur- ner: F. Augustus Heinze. the copper king of Montana: John F.. EalIaiue. ex IOv. John H. Mctiraw, James A. Hait md Capt. F. E. Calne.
 Capt. Caine says that when he was n San Francisco recently he received numerous inquiries as to when the shipment of rails and other material l, or the road was to begin, showing hat the construction of the road is re- ,arded as an assured fact by manufac- urers and shipping men.

 brought Stevens to his feet with an armtul of objections, he claiming that the work was supposed to be paid for by general warrant. He claimed that il was an outrage. It meant forcing all other warrant holders to a back seat until that amount was paid. During the discussion the original bids were read by the clerk, being those of the News and Gold Digger, both for B cents per line, but made no specifica- tion for cash payment. Then Hoxsie stated that it would not go with him, and the vote upon the matter was by roll call, resulting as follows: Rowe, Hill and Bard, yes; Hoxsie, Stevens and Calvin, no. The mayor declared the motion not carried, stating that at this time he had no desire to vote twice.
 A bill amounting to $S60 20 was al lowed for gravelng the roadway in the cemetery, S795.2 20 of which went to Councilman Rowe, and $65 to Roy Wal lingford, for services as tallyman. A total of 56S loads was handled.
 Mention was made by Stevens that in the report of Mayor Bard on the cost of the city hall, an item for S4S for 'NSSs SOt', opPteli Cu' oub oiI IOOh iu up he found where O.

DO NOT DOSE THE STOMACH

Cure catarrh by Natures Own Method.
Every Breath Of Hyomei Brings
Relief.
Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by ,drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician
would be to have change of climate:
but now with Hyomei you can carry
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few
minutes four times day soon cure
yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but S1.00 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts life
time, and il one bottle does not cure,
an extera bottle of Hyomei can be
obtained for SO cents. 1t is the most
economical Of all remedies adver-
tised for the cure of catarrh, and is
the only one that follows nature in
her method of treating diseases Of the
respiratory organs.
John e. DAILY has sold great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that they
are perfectly safe in guaranteeing to
refund the money if Hyomei does not
cure.
