That Fort Davis will soon be abandoned by the government is the information conveyed in an official notification received recently by the commander of the fort. All appropriations for the keeping up of the fort have been stopped except an amount that will be merely sufficient to maintain it barely in a hab- itable manner, says the Nome Nugget. The decision to aban- don the fort is part of the plan to remove the military alto gether from Alaska which has been under consideration for some time but which has only come to a definite stage re- gently, as shown " t,.e official notification received by the commander here. It is assum- ed by the officers of the fort, according to one of their mum Der, that the fort will exist as a fort when the present gar rison goes outside and this will not be untill next spring. The intention of the government is to replace the military with a body of constabulary some thing similar to the North west mounted police ofCanada.

che Pacific Coast at leats knows about Ketchikan and the mil lions and millions of pounds of fish she exports every year, and one feels a thrill of pride stiffen his back bone when he over hears the remark "Ketch- ikan! Say that's that hustling little town up in Alaska that's growing so fast isn't it"? "It is and we want to do our share to keep it in that light.
 Some time ago theCommer- cial Club of Ketchikan was or ganized for the purpose of boosting this locality. It grew and flourished as the green bay tree for a while, acquired a considerable fund in it's treas ury, did some real good work in the publicity line, and then apparently gave up the ghost because we (the Miner Man is as much to blame as any body else) lost interest in the matter and let it die. This paper be- Iieves that never before in her history has Ketchikan stood
 more ill need of definite cOn- eerted, concentrated action
 than right now. Business In
 general throughout Southeast ern Alaska is opening up and promising better today than ever before in the history of
 the district. Ketchikan is get ting a goodly share. The wonderous wealth of her wat CTS is being recognized, inter- astis being reawakened in the
 lntold riches of gold and cop
 per; the world is beginning to
 realise the latent possibilities
 )f her timber lands and water
 lights. She is indeed wonder
 ously blest but she needs and
 must have a way of passing the
 word along, some way of tell.. ing the millions of people of
 hese United States of ours what we have done, are doing,
 md hope to do. A commer- ercial body is the only answer. Let us take steps to revive the 1ld organization with another 'get together" banquet if need )e-put it on It's feet again and pledge ourselves to stay on the job for a bigger, better Ketchi-

NEW CHARGES FILED

Attorney Chas. H. Cosgrove was notified on a recent boat hat the land office had with lrawn it's charges against the Shoenbar holdings near this ,ity but had filed new ones, practically repetitions of the old ones against Col. Shoen- ,ar's applcatiion for patent. This paper understands that he applicant offered to fore 20 If of the claims and accept patent on but twelve. If such s the case it would appear that 1e has done his share towards affecting compromise of the natter and the very least the government can do is to allow him to perfect his title to that many and proceed tp prove whether the claims are worth anything from a mineral stand point or not.

Seattle, Oct. 6-Looking little the worse for her unusual ex- perience the steamer Spokane arrived from the north at an early hour yesterday morning. According to the story of those m board the cause of the mis- nap was a chip or some other 'oreign substance which clog yed the sea cock furnishing water to the condensers and boiler, and the water rushing nto the boilers and vessels ,ngineroom almost caused her turn turtle. The vessel was steaming along fully a mile rom the nearest shore when he mishap occurred the bridge vas notified, and the vessels ,ourse was changed so that she vas headed for the shore. At
 he same time signals of dis
 ress were sent out from the
 hips wireless and the La
 ouche rushed to her assis- ance. In the meantime the nen of the engine room force were striving to plug the pipe
 trough which the water was
 ushing and threatening to
 ink the ship. The water rose D to their waists and several If the men quit and rushed up ,nto the deck refusing to be 1enned up like rats in sink
 ng ship. At this juncture
 ,hief Engineer Dumett jumped
 own into the water which by
 his time was up to his armpits
 nd with the assistance of the others who joined hin closed he pipes and repaired the con- 'enser head. By this time the
 essel was ashore, so the boats we're lowered and the passen- gers were placed in them and many of them taken on board the Latouche. The pumps were then gotten to work, and had no difficulty in freeing the vessel from the water. This being done, the passengers were taken back on board and the vessel came on to this port under her own steam. The ship is as sound as ever she was and will require no overhauling.

AN IDEA WORTHY
 OUR CONSIDERATION

From various towns and cities of the United States comes word of experiment in city municipal government along lines differing radically from the old Town Council method. Many places are now trying out the Des Moines plan of town government by commission which provides for a business administration of three or five men elected sup posedly independant of their politics to run the city on a fbusiness basis, and almost without an exception we are told that the change is for the better. But evolution and pro gress in town government do not seem to be content with stopping there, and now we hear of cities side tracking councils and commissions and electing a business manager to take complete control of the business end of the city govern ment.
 Sumpter s. G., has tried it with absolute success for the past ten years, LaGrand, Ore gon, is just applying the plan, and Tacoma's mayor is sug- gesting that the "City of Des- tiny" try it.
 | Ketchikan spends annually between twenty-five and thir ty thousand dollars for her city government, and gets-what?
 Her town coUncilmen are and we believe always have been honest men with the welfare of the town constantly at heart but as 8 rule they have been too busy, or lacking in busin ess instinct of the kind re- quired for the running of a town, to get the results we want. They are elected for but one year at best and know that no matter what they do; no matter what time they may takefrom their business and de vote to town affairs, they will be adversely criticised by the very people they are sacrificing their own affairs to serve. The need is time, common horse sense, and business methods applied to teWn matters-in |
 other words Ketchikan needs a business manager. She can we'll afford to pay twelve or fifteen per cent of her income to see that the rest is spent where it will do the greatesI good for the greatest number What we need is a young mar with engineering training tc take hold of things, plan out line of action and follow it Let him be given a contract fol at least three years so tha he will kupW he has tim' enough to see his plans mater alize, and hold him absolutel, responsible for the eXpendi ture of every cent spent in tn town. The municipal govern
 ment is one of the biggest fl
 nancial concerns in the tow and less interest is taken in tn
 transaction of it's bushes
 in many respects than shoul
 be expended on a. pea nu
 stand.
 The business manager pla
 looks good to other places
 why not apply it to Ketchikan
