MUNICIPAL. GOVERNMENT.
oUNCuUMN.

It would appear to 8 close eb- server as if a. movement is on foot in town to abandon the attempt to sesure a government wagon road from Valdez toa the Yukon, An srticle attempting to pave the way br thiscchange was. published two weeks ago in the News, and the Chamber of. Commerce has sane honed it bN adopting instructions ior a delegate at Washington, in which no mention is made of a wagon road.
 To abandon the wagon road pro- ject at this, time, when conditions are most favorable to secure the appropriation from Congress, ,.is tc give Valdez a great setback. Con- gross has shown its unvillingness to assist railroad schemes in the past and. we have no reason tC think that it will change this ses- sion. while in the wagon road mat. ter we are assured that the outlook is most favorable. To. attempt at this time to secure a subsidy fol any railroad scheme, and drop the wagon road, will disgust. our strong sst helpers in Congress and will re- suit inItheir. dropping the matter of better, transportation for Alaska entirely They will think we are a set of gafters, influenced by any hair-brnined scheme that comes up md without sense enough to know vat will be for the best interests ef the community.
 Even if Congress could be in- 'duced to guarantee interest on rail .Dadi bonds, who pould reap the benefit? Would not the Alaska Central road. with a showing all ready made, be the one that, would get the interest?
 If the Chamber of Commerce wants to preserve any semblance oi 3 representative body; if it wantstC advance Valdez and hasten the de velopment ofthe country tributary to Valdez. it should work for the wagon road. If the Chamber wants tD give Valdeza setback and as ast the Seward people, it can do SC Sy advocating government assist. ance forsome combination, of rail. road promoters, and. going back on Nelson, Cushman and tho others who worked so hard for usr at the last session of congress.
