MIR. Walkers Remarks.

Mr.. Walker said that he would en-
deavor to bring to the minds of his
audience the Importance OF streets
and alleys to a city and the import
ance of their proper construction, but
that it was not his duty to censure
any Office holder or to pick out flaws
in our streets or their construction,
as that would be merely a matter of
personal opinion. He placed empha-
sis on the Importance of the Office OF
street commissioner, saying that the
man elected to that Office should be
possessed OF good business ability and
good common sense. He compared
Keokuk with other Iowa cities rang
ing in population of from 5000 to 49,
900 as regards their streets and al
legs. He urged that personalities be
left out in electing a. man for this
Office and stated that it should be
made purely business proposition.

ATLTN NOTES.

Atlin, B. C., Jan. 8, 1914. When Capt. Lynden was out on the lake the other day sailing his ice boat the mast was carried away by a sudden squau. Fortunately no lives were lost.
 O'Donnel river is now producing more riches than ever. Prescott White, Murphy and Martin rocked out four cars of gravel recently and cleaned up four ounces of gold dust. This is the best pay that has ever been found on that river and shows that Atlin district is bound to come to the front sooner or later.
 AJlin lake is frozen over and the stage team will in a few days commence its regular winter service over it.
