 FIRST DIVISION
Steamers Cordova and Santa Ana Relieve Situation-Schools
 Had Been Closed.

The people of Snut utileastern Alaska suffered from the effect Of a coal shortage, which threaten rd to rbcome serious but for the timely arrival of the Cordova and santa Ana al ketchlkan. Douglas and Juneau. is the report of "ffl- ,.rrS on he CurdoNa.
 The situation at ketchikan was worse than at either of the oth- rr two cities. The public schools at Douglas and ketchikan had lu be closed for lack of fuel: .. When the Santa Ana arrived at ketchikan, a few hours ahead of the Cordova, the citizens were at the dock and sacked their own coal. and every dray in town was busy delivering a sack here and one there to relieve the citizens who were completely out of fuel.
 At Douglas the conditions were better but not a pound of coal was in the hunkers and many were out. The capital city had d little coal left, but welcomed the Cordova.
 The supply at Cordova was all most gone when the coal boat ar rived at the railroad town.

HARRY KING
 FOR COUNCIL
Friends Wish Him to Run for "City Dad'-WouId Make
 Good Councilman.

The friends of Harry King, manager of he Independent laun- dry. are trying lu induce him tu allow them tn present his name to i the voters of Inc town for cuun- gilman. He has not. however. an nuunccd his decision. If he de cides to stand for the nomination there seems no doubt of his elec- ton. tie is one of the subStan- tial bus mess men of the town and would make a good councilman.
 Many members of the present council are being urged to re- main, as the city needs men of experience, who will give to the taxpayers an economical admin istration. With the construction of the dike, the enormous min eral development near the town, the expected increase in the pop ulation, il is desired to have a representative council of business men.
 It is possible that the reserva- tion will be annexed this summer, in which event a new election would be held.
 Seven cOuncilmen are to be elected and one school director in, he town proper and three mem- berS of the school board from tthe reservation. No slate has, /; been prepared as far as the Pros Epector is aware.
 Many are urging T. F.. Dough- trty to again run for councilman. He has the confidence of the citi- zcns of the town and at a form- er election received the highest number of votes. He would with out doubt be elected by a big vote if he will allow bis name to be placed on the ticket. i Chisholm, Day. Ethical, Mccall lum and Mayor Ritchie may be induced to remain on the council for another year.
 Arthur Lang, of he Valdez Mercantile, company, is also urg- ed to become a city dad and would make an excellent man for the council.
 F.. B. Wheat, of $. Blum X Co.,, is wanted by many of the people to sit in the body. He has, for many years. been city treasurer and would make top-notch councilman.

probable that there will be no pro-

matter Of rates to the state fair on the
railroads. The representatives of the
railroads have not indicated thus far
any intention Of resisting the applica-
ton Of the board Of agriculture for an
order as to reduced round trip rates to
the fair. There is an intimation out
that they will make only perfunctory
resistance to the movement and ulti-
mately accept this as sufficient ex-
cuse for abandoning the long boycott
upon the farmers Of Iowa. The rail-
road commission has set next Saturday
for the hearing.
