CUSTOMS MILL TO BE
 ERECTED AT CHENA

A rumor has been current about town during the past few days that it was the intention of the proprie- tors of the customs mill which was brought in by Martin Harrais to erect the same in the vicinity of Fairbanks.
 This is not correct Several per interested thought it might be good move to have the mill here. but careful consideration of the conditions under which the mill must be operated is sufficient to con vince anyone that the most satisfac- toryresutls can be obtained by cree ting the mill either at Cinema, as originally intended, or on one of the creeks.
 It is essential that the mill should Be erected on arockfoundation. or something equally stable, and that condition could only be obtained in Fairbanks after great expenditure, which the promoters do not consid- CT justified.
 It was the intention of those who fathered the scheme for the install lation of the mill that it should be used mainly to demonstrate the immense possibilities of this region as quartz country. and that object can best be served by placing th mill where it will be most accessible to those who wish to use it.
 Where ever the mill may be erect ed. of this we may be sure, with in a very few weeks it will have done sufficient work to demonstrate that we have in ths vicinity the finest mineralize zone in the world world.

TIE NEW TOWN OF
 CHITIHA

Interviewed by representative of the Cordo}a Alaskan regarding the new town ot Chitina which is being laid cut in the Copper river dis rfct F. W ENum. who has charge Of the trNTsitc. said that the spe- ciaI pride of those handling the townsitc property, is is excellent water system and the little lake that boautitics the town.
 Tt is our purpose" con inued Mr E,u m, to furnish the people with an ample supply of pure water. and as to the lake the inhabitants will De just as enthusiastic over it as We are. when they see it.
 At present there is no building material at Chittna. outside of the native timber, and transpo. tation fS- cilities now are such that no freight can be delivered on the ground.
 There are probably saventy-five people oamped there, awaiting the time when the property will be placed on the ma ket. All of them are temporarily living in tents and fer the benefit cf these who are not acquainted with the tua. ion, would state that no lots in the toWnsite a.e now being nor will they be occupied until they are plac ed on sale The present residents of Chit.na are occupying the streets, until such tme as they can secure a location.
 owing to the climatic oond .tions and the location of the townsite there is every reason to believe that Chjtina will be quite d residence town. There is practically no grade in any part of the tcwnsite and the view and sanitary conditions are all that cou d Ee desig ed.
 The water supply is furnished from d reservoir about half mile northwest of the tOwnsite, with an elevation of 1,206 feet above the town, affo. ding ample pressure"

MORE RED TAPE AT
 POSTOFFICE

About a year ago, when Si Pep per was acting postmaster of Fair banks, an empIoye named Bridges embezzlcd some of the moneys of the office He was arrested. con victed, and is now serving a term Si Pepper and his bondsmen were held liable for the amour, of the defalcations, which they made good. It was peculiarly hard on the act ing postmaster because Bridges had been fOisted upon the office against Mr. Peppers wish. But the defic- iency having been made up the in cident was considered closed
 Not so, however. There has just arrived in town from Washington a gentleman with a bundle of red tape He is called an inspector, and so far has spent his time in delying into the past and resurrecting things that are dead and forgotten. Among other things he revived the case a gainst Mir. Pepper, who was arrested during the week on the old charge of embezzlement, although another man has been convicted of the offence
 This may be all right from the Washington mans point of view. He may even think it is smart To us it looks like red tape run riot. We would suggest to the official from the far east that his time might be better employed in trying to increase the efficiency of the present staff and making it unnec- essary for the people to contribute to official salaries from their priv ate purses, instead of raking up old cases for his personal aggrandize- ment

ci the strongest reasons why Dem uyrats should stand staunch for their prfn,ipics and remove both factions from the political field
 And this meeting declares its firm belief that a large majority of the electors of the territory believe in Democratic pIiuGp},s. and can il thry will but unite, control and di- ret its roI.ios
 By reason Of the detection of Democrats mentioned it has been sonad impossible tc secure candi- date fer the coming election.
 The certainty that leading Demo era5s in all parts er Che territory were determined to take part ou one side. OF the other in the E.pah- Han fight. has made it seem un- Ei.a to nominate damooraOis can didatr for sacrifice. even if aus- enc were willing 10 make tho race
