MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

If a law were passed compelling a locator to do a certain amount of work on his ground before record- ing the same, it would prohibit a man from taking up more than he could do the work on within a req sonable time, and thus give an op- portunrty to others. This method has been adopted in some of the mining camps and has given satis- faction to all. But outside a min- ing district, or before a mining dis trict is organized, the lead pencil prospector gets in his fine work, and shuts everyone else out.

COUyCILMEN. .

It is to be hoped that the coun- eilmen in their desire to reduce the running expenses of the town will not cut cat the street lights during the summer Anyone who has ever attempted to travel through the residence portion of town on a rainy night, before the lights were installed, will have @ vivid recol- lection of what a disagreeable task it was. While there will undoubt- edly be times when the lights will be unnecessary, there is never a month at s time when such is the ease. The cost of these lights is very nominal. They are worth more than $50 per month to give strangers an impression of an up- to-date town, when their boat ar rives on rainy evening. Let an intending investor stumble up from the wharf through . rain storm in the dark, and if it don't give him an overpowering desire to take the same boat out of a place that cant afford street lights, he is con- stituted differently from most men. For the convenience of the citizens, and the best intersts of the town in general, the idea of cutting cut the Tights during the summer should be dismissed from the minds of the city fathers.
 A bill for the suppression ormod- ification of the use of the powers O: attorney has been introduced into congress for several seasons past. and has never met with favor by our legislators. It is up again this season but wEll more than likely uic HdluTdi utatH-
 The right to use the power of at torney in locating mining property has been taken advantage si by Prospectors for many years in the states, but the privilege was never abused to the extent it is in Alaska therefore the mining men in the states or in congress who have seen the privilege judiciously used see no reason to legislate against it, while here in Alaska, where one man will take up 50. 60 or even FOO claims by power of attorney, there is a constant kick registered against its use although many can be found who favor it; the latter claiming that it is the only induce ment a poor prOspector can offer in return for grubstake.
 Those who object to the use of the power of attorney should re- member that even though it were prohibited by law, the hog who is making his privilege obnoxious, could still go in on a creek or any number of creeks, and in his own name stake all the claims he desir-
  ed, and do it legally, as there is no law limiting the number oS claims a man may stake in Alaska. While this is an unfor- tanate allowance on rich ground, still it is necessary where lew grade geld bearing gravels exist, as one claim would offer no inducement ter the introduction of hydraulic machinery, it therefore becomes necessary for man to take a group of claims in order to work the same ppofitahy.
 When the situation is studied over carefully it may be found that the trouble does not exist so mul b in the method of taking up the ground as in the manner of hold isgit.
 Under the present law if claims are staked in the early spring the locator may hold the same against all trespass for nearly two years without doing assessment work or proving up on them in any man. ner, thus giving ample time for speculative purposes.

The vnlor of Private Howell.

During the Indian nutiny. says a
London journal, it was sometimes in
battle almost impossible to tell our
loyal native allies from the revolted
enemy. At the relief of Lucknow Pri-
vate Howell was near a loyal native
regiment that had, through too great
impetuosity and misconception of or
ders, got to a position where it was
mistaken for the enemy, and the whole
advance of the British army, amid the
smoke, poured into it an awful fire,
killing great numbers of men. At this
moment Howell, who saw that the men
exposed were Daralyzed with aston
ishment and fear, rushed forward SOM
thirty yards in advance of their line
and, throwing up his left hand warn
ingly, waved his helmet at the point
of his musket with his right. Hun
-dreds of bullets from his own COM
rades whizzed past him, two of them
cutting his right arm, but the daring
deed served his purpose, for the Brit
iSh officers saw what was intended.
No sooner. had the Cease fire. sound
ed than the men, to be the moment aft
,er again in tile throes of battle, sent
up magnificent cheer for Howell.

There is no occasion which presents
such terrible advantage to the prac-
tical joker as that of sea voyage.
and there is none on which his jokes
become more unbcarable. The follow
ing incident embodies one of his most
ambitious efforts: When we were in
the middle Of the gulf of st. Lawrence
and the nearest coast was 900 miles
away a Yankee quietly remarked:
"Waal, l guess we are quite close to
land now. 1t amt more'n three-quar-
ters of a mile away, nohow." Person
ally We took 10 interest in facts of this
nature and were content to sit and be-
lieve, but many excited travellers dash
ed out of tie smoking room to have a
look at the long hoped for continent.
They presently came back in the worst
of tempers, saying that the charts and
all other authorities declared the land
to be at least 200 miles away and that
there was certainly none in sight.
"Waal, 1 didn't say the Shore" return
ed the champion joker. Il guess
there's land right under us, not three
quarters of mile away"

Brander Matthews in lecture on the
drama told of an incident showing the
rare presence of mind of William
Charles Macready. According TO Mr..
Matthews. he got the story from an old
man who saw Macready far back in
the forties.
In a shipboard scene the actor paced
the deck while the canvas representing
the sea was kept in motion by the
walking beneath of men with half bent
bodies The cloth had been worn to
thinness by dint of much usei When
Macready came to the most impas-
stoned part of his monologue and the
waves were rising higher and higher
the audience was astounded to see n
red head pop up through the crest Of a
wave. The actor saw it. too, and for a
moment he looked as if he were dis
concerted, but it was only for mo-
ment Raising his voice, he shouted:
"Man overboard!'
And this made the people cheer and
praise Macready all the more.

DR.. G.. l.. Nichols, formerly Of
this town, is living right mp to his
reputation as an automobiist, If the
New York papers can be believed.
DR.. Nichols took his first lesson i'm
driving the festive automobile in
Stafford Springs, and entertained him
self and others. A New York paper
says of one of his recent exploits: !:
'tWith q crash that could be hearC
more than block away, DR.. G. Louis
Nichols of Hoboken and his automo-
bile went tearing through show
window in furniture shop in that
place yesterday. Only by luck did
the Doctor escape being saveraly In
jured by the splinters into which the
window was broken by his rushing
and unmanageable machine. DR..
Nichols lives in No. 723 Washington
street. He was making professional
visits and was being borne rapidly by
his machine through First street.
Without warning the automobile
swerved and headed for the window
in Tietje & Christ's shop. The doc
tor made strenuous efforts to swing it
around, but it bumped violently over
the curb and plunged through the
window. A piece of the flying glass
struck the Doctors hand, cutting it
badly. Other pieces narrowly missed
his face. One Of the heavy rubber
tires of the machine was cut through,
and the front of the machine struck
and sent flying a bedstead on exhibi-
tion in the window. The unusual
accident attracted large crowd,
which assisted in getting the automo-
bile out Of the window, and congratu-
lated the physician at having escaped
with his life.''

 SUIT TO QUIET TiTLE-Suit was brought in district court yesterday by the Highland Water Co. against the Land & Water Go. to quiet title. There is involved in the suit six tracts Of land lying in various sec tions of township 1 north and town ships l and south, aggregaring 560 acres. All this and a great deal more land was the property of the defend ant which has gone out of business. The plaintiff succeeded to it's holdings but the title to this part of them was acquired in a different way from the title of the others and it became neces- sary that it should be cleared by means of this litigation.
