The Record Miner intimates in a nasty sort of way that John G. Held, national republican committeeman from Alaska, has not exercised his pow CTS for good and evil along the lines of the most good and the least harm to his constituents. Johu has been acting rather chaffy lately. What was the use in him going back to Washington and telling Teddy all about Judge Brown and his doings? Brown hasn't been here long. He has hardly been seated in the judicial chair long enough to get his feet warm, and then just as soon as John won out in the local po litical fight, he had due and proper mo- tice that Brown was one of his constit- uents @ What John should have done then was to have "buried the hatchet" and not kept on slashiug around. It don't seem that John knows who his constituents are, anyway. He's an old timer, and has got it in his head that he owes some consideration to the fool fellows who came up here years ago and built log cabins and lived on fish; when the boats only came once in month or two; those fellows with the horny hands, and the claim in the hills. John thinks they are his constituents, but he is away of. These nice easy boys, who came up with change of socks and 2 federal appointment only few years ago, but who have by industry and thrift, gathered in mines, saw mills, water works, town lots, rows of cot tages, &c., until they have become men of affairs-these are Johns constitu- snts. and he should know it without being told.
 We quote from our esteemed contem' porary, the Record Miner:
 "Instead of picking out some worthy man from among his many. friends and pushing him for governor, district judge or other positions in the gift of the party he is supposed to represent, he has diverted his political influence in many instances to booming himself for office. This is bad taste and means political suicide in the end. We would suggest, in all friendliness to MT. Held, that the best way to become strong po- Itically or otherwise, is to hold ones self subservient to the general good"
 We don't really think that John real izes what an awful mistake he has made.

The Council.

The city council met Monday. night. A petition was presented and read, from property owners on Front street pray ing for the planking of that street. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and public property.
 The matter of the proposed road to Treadwell was taken up, and. upon motion of the chairman of the commit tee on streets and public property, the action of the council looking toward the building of the road along the line of the upper track was reconsidered. The committee was instructed to ascertain the probable cost of building the road on the beach, along the lower track, and to find if the right of-way could be secured. This action is deem ed necessary because of the hostility of property owners, along the upper track, to the new road, who not only refuse to give the project any assist ance, but actually interpose objections to it's construction.
 Ordinance No. 21, amending the Tax Ordinance, was read second and a third time and passed.
 Mir. Walter Gould was appointed city assessor.
 Some matters pertaining to the Fire Department were discussed, and the council adjourned.

If you are languid, depressed and incapable for work, it indicates that your liver is out of order. Heroine will assist nature to throw off headaches, rheumatism and ailments akin to nervousness and restore the energies and vitality of sound and perfect health. J. J.
