Ed Miner :-Altho 1 am not pro- derty owner within your municipality. own some property in the district, and I wish it to be understood that have the interest of keschikan at heart, for some day hope to be per manent resident of Ketchikan.
 Now 1 believe the only way to ac complish permanent good for our city, is in unity and cooperation. 1 under stand there IS some feeling existing among some residents here whom are all good citizens. Now let us lay aside all feeling on account of a creed or nationlity, and all join in an issue foI the common good. and for the best interests of Ketchikan and this dis trict
 wish to call your attention to the boundless resources of this district. There is not mineral country under the sun that has such great mineral showipgs on the surface as this dis. trict has, and every property that has been developed has, without single exception, proved its worth. Just word about our commences. If the canneries we're the only indus tries we have, ketchikan would al ways remain a smal, and insignificant burg for the very good reason. that | h.. iu iy,o tho neries, send up fishermen in the spring and after a short season they take them back to the states to spend theil money.
 1 wish again to call your attention to the fact. that through the untir- ! ing efforts Of our townsman, Mr. Sted man. who has worked faithfully for { number of years to establish an indus try which will be of more lasting anc permanent good for Ketchikan thar all the canneries of this district com. bined. say that to much praise can not be accorded Mr. Stedman, for hi. energetic and untiring efforts ir bringing this great Industry 10 suc- cessfui conclusion.
 Now let us be little broad minded and work in harmony for the best in. terest of our city and district. l he. Iieve there is nothing that impresse; the visitors so much as good fellow ship and harmony among the citizens of our place. be he an invester or 8 laborer.
 Our city election is now approach ing. let US try to elect good. honest and fearless men who are not afraid to do their duty regardless of praise or censure and then assist them all we can.
 To advertise and develop industries it will require not rhe efforts of one man, or nall clique of men, but harmonious and combined efforts of US all.
 l firmly believe that if we all work along these lines we will have, in the very near future the qualification oi seeing Ketcnikan, the most popular, and fourishing, city in all Alaska.

STEEL AND CEMENT.
Marvellous Growth of the Use of Re-
enforced Concrete.

The steelcrete age is a-coming. AL
though we are accustomed to speak
of prehistoric man as belonging to
the stone age the real stone age is
only dawning Forestry has been de
clared to be a farce, and fenceposts
are being grown by the farmers not
by planting acorns, but by pouring
mixture of cement. sand and stone
into mOlds. Hollow telegraph poles
of REINFORCED concrete are common
in France, and concrete piles are
finding a wider field of usefulness
every year. In Italy baTges and
scows of re-enfprced concrete are
used
FireproOf buildings of the stone
lumber" are too plentiful to excite
comment, and concrete cottages and
residences bid fair to be equally nu-
merous ere long. Enough has been
accomplished with REINFORCED con-
crete to show that forests will soon
be as little needed for building pur-
poses as buffaloes for carriage robes
or deer for dinners. The wonderful
artificial stone called REINFORCED con-
crete is credited with all the essential
properties of lumber save combusti-
bility. And the want of this proper
ty is an advantage. Fire does not
burn it quickly not consume it slowly
1t has the strength Of steel the dur
ability Of granite and promisesto sur
pass all present attainments in the
future when the wonders wrought
today will be tomorrow's common
places with the steel buried in stone.
The ancient age of stone and the
present age of iron are uniting to
produce the coming age of steelcrete,
as the REINFORCED concrete has been
called. Sherman Democrat.
