[ forget their obligations to the com. munity, and allow their personal feel ings ito influence their acts to such an extent as to make them worse than useless for thepurpose for which they were elected.
 The council has spent large a. mount of the city funds for public improvements during the past sum- mer, some of the work was probably necessary, and a great deal of 1t was not. The building of the First Street bulkhead, while an improvement to the street, could have very well have been dispensed with until the town was in a more fourishing condition financially, especially when it was necessary to pay a member of the council $1O per day to superintend the work, and another man $7.5O per day to boss the job.
 The opening Of B avenue was of course necessary to some of the mem bers in order to carry out a political promise made previous to the election when certain support was desired.
 A Protection Without Graft
 The same men who urged and voted for the spending of several thousand dollars of city funds during the sum mer, whether for public or personal benefit, have the temerity when the expenditure of few dollars for the most important thing to any town, fire protection, is broached to arise and preach economy.
 That four members of the council placed the good of the town before  their personal feelings and petty diff ferences, is a good sign that the in- terests of the community is safeguard. ed from the attempts of a boy with a bad attack of sweled head and a would-be politician who imagines that he has been selected as dictator for this particular section of the ter ritory.
 The public will probably have to listen to the vaporings of this pair for a few more months. Let us hope it will bear the burden patiently.

GOOD ? AY DIRT IS FOUND AT
 TOLOVANA

A dispatch from Fairbanks says: Authentic reports received from the Tolovana camp that pay running $2.5O to the square foot had bee found on discovery claim.
 This news has electrified the city anew. Many outfits will dig out of here before breakfast this morning and many others are preparing to fol- low.
 From the news received, and in view of the fact that prospects" have been found over a considerable area of country now known as the Tolovana district, the belief is strong here that another big placer camp will be open ed.
 For many years past occasional min CTS and trappers have uncovered colors
  on many of the streams of the Tolo- vana, but owing to the lack of trails and the cost of getting provisions into the country no attempt was made, save in a few isolated cases, to reach bedrock at any depth During the past year, however, stampede head ed in that direction and much more determined effort has been made since then to uncover the paystreaks. Of late the reports have not been en. couraging, although it was pointed out that enough work had not been done to give the place a test.
 The present discovery means the sending in of still larger outfits and more systematic prospecting. Already many Fairbanks people are figuring on a new town and establishing them selves in business.

CITY CLERKS REASONS WHY
 BOYLE, GO0DALL, CURRIER
 SHOULD BE DEFEATED

case personal feeling be laid asid, and only the best interests of the city considered: he also called the atteu tion of some of the members to tho fact that it was perfectly fitting foi the Chief of the Fire Department tc recommend to the council that a fire hall be maintained on First Avenue if in his judgment the protection of the property demanded it, and that the members of the council would not in any way interfere with what would be deemed the best means of protect. ing the town from fire.
 Councilman F. J. Davis objected to the reference made by the mayor to influences being used, stating that he had not heard of the matter until 1t was brought up in the council. He was of the opinion that a chemical should be maintained on First Avenue for the protection of the property there and would vote in favor of such actioh.
 Councilman Slater then moved that the Fire Committee be instructed to placethe fire house on First Avenue in such condition as to take care of the chemical during the winter, which motion was duly seconded.
 Stand by the Interests of the Town
 Councilman Thos. Davis stated that he was in favor of maintaining the fire apparatus on First Avenue, pro vided the building could be kept warm during the day without cost to the city.
 Councilman Hazelet offered an a. mendment to MT. Slater's motion that the city be not required to pay for the keeping up of the fire in the building during the day. The amend ment was accepted. On a vote being taken Councilmen Hazelet, Slater, E. J. Davis and Thos. Davis voted aye Councilmen Boyle, Goodall and Currier nay, The motion was de clared carried.

VALLEY TITLES
ARE ALL GOOD
Ex-Mayor Kelly Wires that
Valuation Bill Is o. K;
What it Means.

your bill 0. k" was the laconic
message from ex-mayor c. Z. Kelly to-
day TO George P LeBaron. The mes
sage was dated Austin and refers to
the measure introduced in the Texas
legislature to validate the title to lands
in the SocorrO and san ElizariO grants
in FL Paso county The measure passed
the senate yesterday. The mayor did
not say that it had passed the mouse
today. but if not. it was evidently re-
ported fayorably and seemed certain OF
passage
The passage Of this measure means
a great deal TO the valley" said Mr.
LeBarOn- There are no disputes over
titles. but certain lawyers refuse to
approve titles because Of technicalities.
This measure repOses absolute title in
the present holders Of all land and
makes all future titles perfect The
abstract viii not have to 90 behind the
present measure and the deed which the
holders Of property now possess"
The trouble over the titles was due
to the fact that the townships q So
zorro and San ElizariO have been in
corpOrated and disincorpOrated so often
that some Of the records have been
lost and the transfers are therefore
questioned from a legal standpoint be-
cause records are not in existence to-
day TO show the authority of township
officers 10 make transfer OF certain
properties which they sold.
