Government land surveys in the Panama valley tributary to Fairbanks new total 19O,OOO acres of lands, ac- cording to J. w. Barker, special agent of the general land office, who left Fairbanks last September. Of the eight and one-half townships survey ed and plated much is already settled upon for it includes the placer fields as well as lands surveyed for pros pective homestead settlers and for farming purposes.
 Speaking of the agricultural pos abilities of Alaska, MT. Barker says that they are enormous, especially in the great valleys of the river systems The Panama valley he believes, has I great future for agriculture and stock raising. The silo he says, has evolv- eel the problem of providing fodder for winter feeding. The expense of clearing the land of stumps and brush at present is very high but there are many natural meadows where there arc no trees to contend with any these meadows extend over large areas.

CHESTERFIELD COURTHOUSE

For several months the question Of removing
the Chesterfield COURTHOUSE has been agitated,
and the fight waged by number Of citizens
against the retention of the county seat at
Centralia has reached a high point. Although
the citizens Of Bon Air and vicinity defeated the
proposed removal by a small majority by straw
vote at mass-meeting last week, those who are
In favor Of II declare that in the event that
special election is held in the county enough
votes can be secured to cause its transfer.
AT the present time the courthouse buildings
are old and Anticipated and are located three miles
from 4 railroad station. Time and again an ex-
penditure Of $4,000 has been proposed for perma-
nent improvements on the dilapidated buildings,
but on every occasion citizens of the county have
protested because Of the naccessibiity Of the
buildings to other sections Of the county.

decision ten OF the saloons in that district must

supreme tribunal in this matter. and from it's
decision there is 10 appeal,
We are sorry Judge Richardson could not see
his way clear to relieving the congestion Of sa

block. and Oil four licenses were renewed, These

FTTTCGssrUr contradiction, That moro men under

west SIDE Of Seventh street, between Marshall
and Broad, any afternoon or evening than on
any block in the city, and We are firmly of
the opinion that If Judge Richardson had had
time 70 investigate these conditions personally
he would have curtailed the licenses IN that
locality
Bat The Tit9tnlan does not wish to pose as
earping critic on the other hand. it wishes to
commend Judge Richardson most heartily for the
courageous stand he has taken. He has relieved
materially an evil situation. and there Is reason
70 believe that when license time comes around

and pray that the ordinance limiting the saloons

A N1sF. MOVE.

The administrative board has done wisely and
well in deciding to reconstruct Ninth street
bridge instead of repairing IT, and in further
deciding to keep the structure open to traffic
during the process of reconstruction.
The city has spent $4,000 in the last four
years in repairs TO this structure. and the bridge
to-day is. still in a ramshackle condition. And
further appropriation for temporary repairs
would be money thrown away. There was but
one thing to do. and that thing the board has
appropriate sufficient amount to rebuild
the bridge
II viii cost more probably to keep the bridge
open and probably work a great inconvenience
the contractors. but the convenience OF the
public is to be considered first OF all and is
worth all that It costs the city.
