OF TONNAGE
 FOR ALASKA ROAD

There is much talk about furnishne tonnage for the government rairoa I when built. But few people stop L. figure what constitutes tonnage for q railroad. There are in the interior many known lodges, some of which promise to make as big mine as the Treadwell. and which ore carries many times the value of the Tread. :. we'll mine produces 5000 tons of ore each day. If all the mines combined along and tributary to the government railroad produce 5000 tons of ore per day of sufficient value to ship to a mill O. shelter this will each year furnish two million tons of freight for trans rortation.
 This Is the same amount of tonnage that 5000 farmers of Nebraska or Kansas annually furnish to rail- road if each of them raise 16O rcrcs of corn, 50 bushels to the acre The farmers tonnage. at fifty cents per bushel would have a value of $32- cCC,OOO, while the miners tonnage. at s16 per ton, have an equal value
 Aside from an ore tonnage there would be million tons of coal to ship "It each year for the navy and com mercial consumption. If the govern mcIt should charge the same price Tor il" coal that Alaskans have paid fcl ';he last len years. the profit on tne commercial consumption alone net be less than $5,OOO,0OO Wien the population of Alaska has increased t. znO,O0O people.

RECALLS MURDER OF
GERVAIS MARSHAL

Prosecuting Attorney Ringo reports
that he has found some evidence that
might have had some bearing on the
Zoller murder case had it been produced
at the trial of Roy Carroll, now serving
life sentence at the state pen. 1t
was reported that farmer had found
a suitcase in his field about three
fourths of a mile south of Gervais.
Carroll said that he slept in barn
about a mile south of Gervais on the
night the murder was committed. The
suitcase contained a .3S eaiibre revolver
and q number of cartridges, three ra-
zors, a flashhght, bunch of skeleton
keys and two pairs of pants. There
was nothing TO connect the find with
the Carroll murder, except that one pair
of the pants was gray and Carroll
wore a gray coat on the night of the
murder.
Several reports relative to this ease
have been circulated from time to time,
but upon investigation none of them
have been introduced at any of the
trials in this case

tration should have very little but the
rontire business of the city to transact
/ / do not wish, however, to take the
credit fcr-what has been accomplished
to myself II is due entirely to the
excellent council over which / have the
honor to preside. They have been Tor
the most part men of Judgment and ex-
perience and unselfish in their service
TO the city. If any credit is due me
it is because Of my choice Of commit
tees, and | wish at this time to take
occasion TO express my heartfelt thanks
TO the heads of the different commit
tees VINO have at all times given largely
of their time and energy and deserve
the hearty appreciation of our citizens.
During both years of my administration
the committees on streets, finance and
bridges have had arduous duties to per
form, and upon the ehairmen OF these
committees have devolved much of the
labor of conducting the city's affairs.
/ wish again 10 express my thanks TO
these and the other committeeman who
have done their best in the service OF
the city.
If i might digress at this point it
would be to deplore the tendency Of the
American people to distrust man s
motives as soon as they have placed
him in public office. Most men will
administer public affairs in about the
same way they handle their private al
fairs.
If a man is dishonest in ais personal
dealings he cannot be intrusted with
public office. If he is loose and in
capable in his own affairs he cannot
he trusted to handle the public business.
Yetwe see men of unquestiOned hon
esty whose motives are impugned when
they serve the people and it is fact
that incompetents are nOtOriOusly eager
to occupy public office.
] will say with the utmost conviction
that all tne business of the two years
of my administration has been conduct
ed with entire honesty. If there has
been any suspicion Of graft in any de-
partment or of any character l have

to have made it public.
