HELP
City ApprOpriates Money to
 Protect Property

The city council decided, at the regu- l lar meeting last night, to take steps to protect the Sixteenth avenue bridge from washing away, and to protect oth- CT property that may be deemed to be in danger from the river, the cost of the work not to exceed $500. The money will be expended by the committee on public works and public property. The matter was brought up by William Joy, tEe west side farmer.
 The council transferred s45O.6l from the general fund of the city to the school fund. It was estimated by the board that this sum would pay all debts and protect all the warrants outstand- ing and to be issued until after the be- ginning of new schooi year.
 A complaint that a disagreeable and unwholesome odor came from the water in the creek running from Main street to Broadway from near the Skagway brewery, down across Tenth and Ninth avenues, was referred to the committee on health and police for action. The same committee was given authority to act upon a complaint of Bishop Rowe hospital that A. Lauridsen is daming up a branch of the river which runs near that institution.
 The registration ordinance was read and passed over till the next regular meeting,
 The municipal magistrates report showed the collection of s97.S5 as fines and costs in April.
 All the councilmen were present eX- ceDt John Kalem.

REFUSE IT
Council Will Not Acceed to
 ExtraVagant Demands

The city council decided last night tc force the water company to show by what authority it Is doing business in Skagway. It will also insist upon that concern meeting the council upon fair basis as to the cost and kind of water service it will give Skagwsy, and until such an agreement, or some other solu- tion of the problem has been arrived at, the council will insist upon the compli- snce with the agreement that water hydrauts be furnished the city at s25 per year per hydrant. If the water company h any right to do business in Skagway at all, it is held by the city council, it is under an agreement by the terms of which the city is to have hydrants supplied with water at the rate specified.
 The best terms offered the city by C.. Fl. Kiehl, secretary of the water com pany, were s75 per year per hydrant, and $50 per year per hydrant additional should the company undertake to care for the hydrants. He refused to guar antee the city any specified water pres sure, or, for that matter, any service at all. He only said if the water mains were frozen at any time, so the com psny could not furnish water, the city would not have to pay for it.
 The matter will be considered further by the city council at a special meeting to be held as soon as the city attorney shall have returned from Juneau.

Hereafter, City Marshal J. J. Burns, will arrest anyone caught riding bicy- cles on the sidewalks of the city. The city council has determined to enforce that ordinance, and last night the city marshal was instructed to arrest every one caught violating the city ordinance.
 It was decided that there will be DO more warnings administered to people, as they seem to pay no attention to that, but arrests will be summary.

Civil War were being depicted by two

ed by confinement in Southern pris.

the lads laid particular stress. The
tAird youth, unable to match these
recitals with any military achievement
of his own forbears, preserved an en-.

The Western Traffic Associa-

with January l, 1904, no return
transportation will be granted ship

adhered to strictly it will deprive
many North Dakotans of many in
expensive trips to the twin cities

wisdom Of constructing the Manches-
ter ship canal has been INDICATED
many fold. Increased and enlarged
canal facilities across Scotland are
Planned, and France is seriously con-
sldering plans for a ship canal from
the Mediterranean to the Bay of Bis
cay. The neglect into which canals
fell for a time with the development Of
railroads is now seen to have been a
mistake; for all the land transportation
In the world cannot do away with but
only Increase ocean traffic, and the lat
ter demands the shortest and easiest
water passage from one sea to another.
Suez and Panama will always be the
greatest two canals in the world, but
there are and there will be others Of
great Importance, both national and
international, and of these this Rus
sian canal may be one Of the foremost
in value to it's owner and in influence
upon the world.
