A SUGGESTION
Ed. Miner.

l-l. -NIALfA.
 Now that the delegate elect ion is over and the inconven- fence which the unsatisfactory location of the waterfront line of the incorporated town has been rubbed in-so to speak on our voters, is 1t not time to take united action to have the waterfront boundry extended 10 the middle of Tongass Mar rows?
 Il iS a matter which should he remedied before the next municipal election. Apparently the matter of a territorial legis- Iature is still in the air and from present indications it is doubtful if such legislature vii have authority 10 pass a law applicable to the situation and certainly not in time for the next city election.
 Possibly the Commercial Club iS the proper body to inaugur- ate movement to bring this subject before Congress. At any rate it is time to get busy in order to formulate 6 plan of action and carry 1t out at once.

OLD TIMER HERE

Tom AIcGinnis, one of the old time miners of this region is a local visitor.

THE HOME RULE SITUATION

Acording to a wire received last night by the Miner the Al-
 aska Home Rule Bill with the dual house section included has passed both houses of Con- gress, and was up 10 the Pres lident for signature. The wire continuing states there is every probability that the President will sign the bill, and that t will become effective at once.
 This will mean the election this fall of a legislature of I6 mem- bers. and a senate of eight. eq- ually distributed between the four judicial divisions Of the territory. that is four legislat- lors and two senators will be el- ected at large from each of the four divisions.
 As yet. none of the political parties have outlined a plan of campaign, and nobody knows
 just how nominees for the leg iSlature assemblies will be named although the probabili
 ties are that a convention will Le held in each district for the purpose of naming the eandi- dates within the next month or
 SO.
 At least three sets of eandi- dates will be put up. and pos
 sibly four, although there is
 some probability that the two
 factions of the Republican par
 ty will bury the hatchet and un-
 ite on a ticket.
 Although the rights granted
 Naskans under the bill ar4 rather of a negligible quality
 and quantity. still the bill may
 be looked upon as the entering
 wedge for popular legislation. and is bound to result in a lar i ger and more complete form or iself government at some time
 not Q very far distant. The
 only thing for Alaskans to be careful of is to see that they
 elect careful, conservative men as their representatives, men who will not attempt freak leg
 islation. In effect the charge has been made that Alaskans are incompetent of self-govern- ment. and ii is now up 10 Us i0 see to it by the actions Of oar Irepre sentatives that the lie is given to this charge, and the country be shown that nowhere on earth can be found better. more capable or more honestly
 patriotic legislators than those of Alaska.

LIFE IN THE VOLCANO ZONE

at Wood Island, Kodiak, has an interesting article on pres ent conditions in the vicinity of the recent Mt. katmai eruption It says:
 We can noW|look back on nearly eight VI }eks of life in the midst of Velcanic ash.
 At first 1t did not seem pos sible for Us to remain here, and We began. to pack up, prepara- tory to going elsewhere. But where could we go? Where ever wewent, We could not take the buildings aud furniture, represent years of plann ing and hard work and the out lay of many thousands of dol lars.
 As the days passed condit- ions improved, the water in the lakes began to clear, and we had good spring water for drinking, so we left off packing and began uneovering gardens, repairing roofs and cleaning house. The beds in the kitch- on garden which were uncover ed and resowed are already furnishing Us with radishes and lettuce, the finest ever. The potatoes have responded won derfully to the attention given them. Even seeds sown in the ashes have sprung up. Two small fields sowed with oats look green and promising though it is not likely the oats will grow more than a few inches high.
 "To be sure there are un- pleasant things to contend with For instance the trees still hold loads of ashes, and when the wind blows, after a few days ill which there has been no rain. the dust is simply choking and gets into the house in spite of closed doors and win doWs. After a rain it is not wise to step out of the beaten track, else one will mire over their shoe tops. Tramping through the woods for pleas
 Ire is out of the question. h. deed there is very little incent- iVe for such rambles as there are no wild berries and very few wild flowers to be gathered this year. On sunny days the glare of the light reflected from the chalk-like ground is very trying to the eyes.
 "On the other hand: we nev. er have had smoother and bet ter roads than these ashes have made where they are packed hard. Heretofore bicycle would have been utterly use less, now one could be used finely. The children can go barefooted now when it is warm enough without much danger of getting bruises and cuts.
 At Kodiak the damage to the buildings was slight, con- sldering the high hills at the back of town, and the conse- quent danger of landslides The greatest danger being sustained rom these causes, and at first ! looked as if they could not 1e put in shape for use again, but with the excellent hybraul ic pressure at hand the ashes J aye been cleaned away, and everything is in first cess con- ellIcn again..
