Thomas Martindale, author and hunter, who is so well known in Sew ard, writes all the way from his home in Philadelphia to subscribe for the AIl-Alaska Review, and in the course of his letter says:
 "You have done well in publishing the All-Alaska Review. It will be productive of more good to Alaska as a whole-than you have perhaps ever dreamed of. Alaska is so very big with so many different and vary ing interests that it would be almost impossible to keep in touch in an ordi- nary way with the coming boom that is bound to be an eye-opener when the public commences to realize what a wonderfully rich territory Alaska is sure to become. The Review fills the bill in giving a short and succinct statement of the happenings of the month through all the districts of Alaska"

CITY TAX MAY
 BE THE LIMIT
TWO PER CENT ON PRESENT ASSESSMENT WILL BE
 NECESSARY.

After further investigation by the city officials it has been discovered that the expenses of the city for the year will be approximately ffty-four thousand dollars. This means that two per cent tax will have to be levied on the present assessment of two million two hundred and forty thou sand. Two per cent on that amount will bring in round figures forty-four thousand dollars. The remaining ten thousand will come from federal li- censes. If the expenditure is cut down at all it will have to be cut by either reducing salaries or the mum Der of officials, or by stopping inn provements on the streets and schools. There has not been met one property holder in the city to say that he is satisfied, but the best thing to do is to go carefully and quietly into the whole matter and try to rectify matters.

 The first cement was placed on the sidewalks today. The contract gives the contractor another month for the completion of the work.
 The readjustment of the hydrants on Fourth avenue will give the city much better fire protection than formerly. They used to be very close together but are now separated and some parts of the street, especially the lower and upper extremities were insuficiently protected against fire. This evil os now remedied.

BORGEN AND CRAWFORD
 APPOINTED BY MAYOR.
Al Chamberlin is Now Sure to get It Where the Chicken Got
 the Axe.

Councilmen Borgen and Crawford have been appointed by the mayor as a committee to investigate the mat ter which came up last evening when Councilman Chamberlin asked wheth- CT the city attorney was acting for the city or for the contractor on the street work, or words to that effect, AS a matter of fact there was no ac- cusation made and the whole thing is childish but that committee is ap- pointed for some purpose which has not yet come to the surface. The mayor in appointing those two coun- cilmen appointed men who are always bitterly opposed to that stormy petrel, Mir. Chamberlin, and the time is ripe to begin weeping for his fate. One of these days, countrymen and lovers, you will hear something sprung by that committee. It is a committee of brilliant public men ap- pointed by a great and deep legis- lative body and, of course, they have fooled us all. That play of the resig- nation and committee of investigation is Machiavellian-that's a good word. Watch the game. The city attorney is not being investigated so much as someone else.

In addition to this, some pay has been found in the vari- ous small creeks and gulches that feed Livengood creek.

BIRCH
 ON BROAD PASS
SAYS NOTHING FOUND AND EVEN KNOCKS THE MATA-
 NUSKA POSSIBILITIES

Some days ago this paper asked as suggestion whether the cOndemna- tion of the Broad Pass as a mining country by the Copper River interests could have any bearing on the desire of those interests to show that the government has selected a railroad route which can have no hope of such tonnage as the Cordova route, and now comes an interview with Stephen Birch in a Seattle paper in which he mixes up the two subjects in a man. ner which is significant to say the least. Mr. Birch even goes so far as to say that the tonnage-presumably for the railroad-from the Matanuska coal fields will not be anything enormous" In the Broad Pass, he says, the representatives of the Gug- genheims did not find "enough ship ping ore to load a pack horse" This sounds very much like person going out of his way to belittle district. But here is part of the interview in the Seattle Times with Mir. Birch:
 "We had an expedition in that re- zion all winter" said Birch, "and the properties we had under option fail ed to stand up under investigation. The members of the expedition didn't find enough shipping ore to load a pack horse. There may be some ton mage in that country, but the mem bers of our expedition failed to dis cover it.
 "The only tonnage that will be de- veloped, so far as we were able to learn, will come from the Matanuska coal fields, and with the exception of that used in the navy that will not be anything enormous. Many of the battleships are now burning fuel oil.
 "The market for Alaska coal will come largely from Alaska itself. It will be used in developing and creat- ing various industries. Practically every big plant in Alaska now burns California fuel oil"

CROW CREEK Is
 SHOWING UP WELL.

Elijah Ayres, who has been out in the Crow creek country for the past few months returned yesterday after noon on the car. He reports that Dick Dawson is doing much better that he expected to this summer. He is employing at the present time in the neighborhood of 35 men. He has made only one small clean up so far due to the great volume of water flowing down the Glacier streams and coming from the melting of ice due to the great heat of the sun. The big cleanup will come off about the lat ter part of September.
 Mir. Dawson is keeping the saw mill going steadily making lumber which will be used for making a by pass to be used when the water runs low. This Hume will be about a mile and a half long. Some of the lumber will be used in the construction of new bunk houses and a big ware house, which will be commenced during the winter some time.
 He will keep the full number of men until December. When the water runs low they will cut logs and begin work on the buildings.

CITY ATTORNEY RESIGNS TO HAVE SOMETHING OR AN
 OTHER INVESTIGATED.
SCRAP LASTED } HOURS
CHAMBERLIN WANTS TO KNOW MANY THINGS AND IS
 VOTED DOWN.

Anyone who was not present at the city council meeting last night missed the most extraordinary enter tainment that was ever provided by or for man or beast. The meeting lasted just about ten minutes less than three hours, and from the time of the rising of the curtain until the moment when the last political Op- ponent and arch william was confound- ed and crushed everything was a scream. The piece de resistance or the climax came when the city at torney offered his temporary resigna- ton and the lawmakers after a touch ing and heroic exposition of their deep emotion accepted it. This climax came because the unfortunate Al Chamberlin in the course of his re- marks happened to say q want to know whether the city attorney is working for the city council or the contractor" Poor Al never meant a thing except to suggest that he didn't think the city attorney was strict enough in his interpretation of the con tract for street improvements. Any sucking infant gazing calmly with it's calf eyes over the nerve settling milk bottle could have seen that, but our local statesmen, maddened by the fierce and bloody strife could not, and the immediate result was pandemon- ium-the same sort of pandemonium that one might see when suddenly amongst "the noisy geese that gambl- ed OCT the poop a cat or some other terrifying quadruped projects him self It was funny. By heaven, it was rich. If man had only short hand notes of it, a photograph and a moving picture machine to reproduce it he could make enough money to build the Copper River railroad into Fairbanks and maintain it, and that's saying something.
 The performers were discovered dis cussing the proposed school building. One amendment asked for separate bids for the different units of the work but as this was proposed by Chamberlin there was immediately passed another amendment to let the contract for the excavation and the concrete work as one. Then it was found that no chimney was provided for in the concrete so it was decided to make the chimney brick rather than admit they were wrong. Again
 
 Chamberlin, to aid poor men bidding for the work, wanted only a deposit from bidders of five per cent, which is the usual amount, but, again, Cham berlin had to meet defeat. Frank Youngs was not present, let it be said The mayor at times voted with Al when he believed he was right but the rest of them would apparently have skinned their grandmOthers if they could have only chOked Al with the venerable pelts. To make them all the madder the audience was on the side of Mir. Chamberlin and ap- .plauded him. It was decided finally to call for bids. All bids must be received next Monday except the bids for the heating plant which will be due on the 29rd. inst.
