DIR. KILLERS SPEECH

That was sn excellent speech which Dr. Keller made at the citizens conven- tion Wednesday night. Not only was its delivery good bus the statements made were truth and the arguments ad- vanced in support of the work of the Skagway city government unanswer- able.
 During the last two years much has been accomplished for this city. Since the present city government was in- augerated title has been secured for the Firemen's hail ata cost of about sllOO; title has been secured to the old public school building for about $500; debt of the public school amounting to about $500 has been paid from the city rev enues; several thousand dollars have been paid on the streets of the city, and the people have been provided with a water system that gives them fire protection in all parts of the city and for l2 months each year.
 Notwithstanding these good results, taxes have been reduced. They were less las: year than during any year in the history Of the town,
 It is DO wonder that Dr. Keller took pride in pointing to the record of the administration of which he is at he head.
 It is true, as Dr. Keller frankly stated, that all of the credit for this good wo k is not due to the council alone. The construction of the water plant which saved the city from a hold up and provide q it with fire protection and lower water rates was made possible by the generous offer ofthe w. P. < Y. R. to pump the water into the mains at the low rate of SlOO per month and by the patriotism of those citizens who came to the front and provided the city with the money that was needed for a short time at a very low rate O, interest
 The people of Skagway have much cause 10 congratulate themselves. Their municipal affairs have been splendidly handled and the people have given those upon whom the burden oi their management has fallen patriot ic support that is in every way en- cOuraging.

A DESERVED COMPLEMENT

That was a deserved compliment the people of WhitehOrse paid Robert Lowe in giving him the election as member of the Yukon council by exclamation. Mir. Lowe has been a member of the Yukon council for two years and he has done much for his constituency in that time and for the good of the entire Yu- kop.
 The following tribute to Mir. Lowe by the Whitehorse Star does not over state the truth;
 "The unanimous nomination of Mir. Lowe as candidate for reelection to the position he has so we'll and ably filled for the past two years is more than a compliment. It is tribute of a grate- ful constituency, regardless of party at- iliation, to him for his unswerving per sistency in working for and in accom- plishipg everything that served to ad- vance the interests of the people and community represented by him, and the action of his constituency iu be- slowing upon him by exclamation the nomination for his reelection is simply saying to him: Well done, good and faithful servant"

John Dillon Tells About
 Tan mas Growth

In letter to E. E Mcdonald, of thi. city, John F. Dillon, formerly leading lawyer of Skagway, and now prosper ous attorney of Fairbanks gives clear idea of the growth of Fairbanks aud the Panama and speaks well for the out look for the place,
 Mir. Dillon says when he went to Fairbanks a year ago last February there were six or eight claims being worked on Cleary creek. There were 1000 people in the district which has in creased to 5000 before the middle of the summer. The cleanup last spring was about S35O, 900 or $4OO,OOO This was Increased to sl, ,5OO,OOO by the summer work.
 There is now about five miles of Cleary creek being worked. Other creeks are being worked but not so ex- tsnsively nor with as good results. Fairbanks creek Is found to be rich in places and rich diggings have been un- covered on several claims on Hester creek.
 The population of the district is about 75OO or 5000.
 Much prospecting is being done and prospects are found in all directions and many rich strikes reported. Great hopes are entertained for the Delta country, l25 to l5O miles farther up the Panama river.
 Mir. Dillon says unless moro rich ground can be found there are more people in that country than enough now. However, he and all the other people there believe more rich digging: will be discovered. He says there is much in the country to encourage pros pectOrs.
