Municipal Rumpus at Valdez

The city council of Valdez has abolished the office of city attorney owing, the mem bers declare to the necessity of economy in the matter of city expenses this year. But Charles Ganty, who has been serving as city attorney, declares that the action of the council is matter of spite. Mir Ganty has commenced suit against the city council for his salary for year, which, he says, he is entitled to as result of his contract with the city. In regard to the abolishment of his office, MT. Ganty declares that the coun- cl recently asked him for an interpretation of law, and when he refused to put a wrong construction on it he aroused the antagonism of the members of the council This, he says is why his office has been abolished and he is removed in roundabout manner.

PLANS OF ROAD COMMISSION
 ANNOUNCED BY RICHARDSON

Colcnel w. P Richardson of the Alaska road commission has given out statement which is in pert as follows:
 "Ihr work of the road commission for the season of 1915 will be carried along the same general lines as the previous four or five years The limited funds in the hands of the board for road work will not permit the undertaking of extensive new projects. Some new work will be done where the need seems most pressing. but most of the eX- penditure will be for repar and maintenance of existing roads Work will be carried on along the whole extent of the wagon road from Fairbanks to the coast, and consider able improvement is expected to result.
 "A change in the superintendence of the work in the Yukon district will be made by the transfer of John Zug to other and more comprehenSive duties as assistant to the en- gineer officer of the board, and the assign ment of R. J Sommers to Fairbanks i'll his stead
 The congress appropriated at its last ses- sion Sl65. .OO0 for road and trail work Ill the territory under the caption of Military and Post Roads etc. this being an increase by senate amendment of S400OO over the item as originally passed by the house. Receipts from rhe Alaska fund became available from time to time during the year in varying sums. and probably will amount to S6O0OO or more during the summer or principal working season. During the last fiscal year this fund amounted to Sl663l6 for the twelve months.
 The work laid out by the board and out lined by Colonel Richardson for the present season, and for which tentative alIotments have been made to the extent of the funds now available, embrace projects Tn varlous parts of the territory. ldltarod IS men toned in this connection, but no details of work are given. AIlotments in the Yukon district, which includes Eagle, Circle City, Rampant, Fort Gib5on- koyukuk, Ruby, Iditarod, Hot Springs Eureka, Hot-Springs Sullivan, winter trail down Tanana and Yukon, Fairbanks Richardson wagon road, trail to Tolovana, etc. amount to ap proxmately &65 ,000, exclusive of the Fair banks bridge Construction of the latter may be delayed on account Of delay Tn Shlp- ping material. The statement continues:
 Up to date the board has constructed and maintained in the territory SIP miles of wagon road, 5S2 miles of winter sled road and has made expenditures in varying amounts depending upon conditions, on 2,2O9 miles of trail While the commission is not always able to allot funds for projects which are recognized as meritorlous it is nevertheless glad to receive reports made ii good faith and petitions as to the needs of different sections for road improvements, and such reports and petitions will always receive consideration, and favorable action if the projects have merit, as soon as funds become available.
 Frequently new projects develop unex pecedly, as in the case of the Tolovana, to provide for which necessarily reduces the

SPANISH PRISONER" FAKE
 MAKES APPEARANCE HERE

Ira F. Wood has been singled out for dls- tinction as being the one man in the ldIta- rod district to whom should be intrusted the task of rescuing @ beautiful young maiden and recovering and sharing her fortune. In cidentally he is to be instrumental in de livering from Spanish prison a gentleman whose zeal for his country's welfare led him to participate in an abortive revolutionary movement, which drew him into the clutches of the Spanish officials.
 To newspaper readers the story IS an old one. It has narrowed the feelings and aroused the chivalry and cupldity of Amerl- cans for generations past. The fraud has been exposed and rldiculed times out o1 number
 MT. Wood has received a letter bearing a Spanish date mark and stamp, reclung a vague claim to relationship, and appealing to Mir. Wood to assist the writer, who Is con fined in Spanish prison, to rescue tor tune of many thousands of pounds which IS locked up in the Bank of England. Upon the receipt of a sum of money the spanish prisoner" will give him the details ot how this IS to be accomplished
 The letter IS written in beautiful script, and has a suggestion of the writers being a man of some education, with just enough mutilation of the kings English" to lend color to the plausibility of the story. It IS almost fac simile of scores of such letters which have been written to Americans in the past quarter of a century or more, with an added reference to present European con ditions to bring it up to date. It is notable, however, that the age of the daughter is still 16 years.
 This fake is said to have elicited many thousands of dollars from sympathetic m dividuals. Mir. Wood has not yet compiled with the request,

 "I have made special effort the past two or three years to get increased approprla- tons for road work in the territory, and to this end, submitted a special supplementary estimate of S750,OOO to the secretary of war in the fall of 1913 The following Is quoted in this connection from the annual report ot the board for 1914;
 Additional new projects, all more or less meritorious, are being presented to the board every year, with petitions for aid, which it Is impossible for the board to re spond to- except to very limited degree.
 This situation was set forth at some length ill last years report, and attention invited to number of memorials from the Alaska legislature upon the same subject. There was also submitted, on November p, 1913. special report embracing a mem orandum prepared by the engineer officer uf the board, outlining plan of work to be carried forward through period o1 years, together with an additional estimate ot S75O.OOO for the first years work. 1hls re mort and estimate 1t IS understood, was re ierrcd to the honorable the secretary of the interior for consideration in connection with other matters under his charge pertaining to Alaska's development.

Record Gastineau Payroll

The biggest pay day in the history of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company was June 10, according to story in the Juneau Elm pire. More than S130000 was distributed by the cashiers to the $50 men employed. The checks went to every man employed by the company, and were sent to the five camps. The next largest pay roll was year ago, when S125,000 was paid out for the months work From estimates of officials of the company, it is believed the amount paid out will steadily increase during the summer, as heavy construction work in all departments is under way, especially at An nex and Carlson creeks, where power units are being established The doubling of ca pacity of the reduction mills at Thane also will swell the grand total paid in the Sheep Creek division during the next three or four months

This is the largest number ever moved North during a similar period, and the rush continues uninterrupt- edly While some of these passengers rep resented itinerant job seekers, the majority was made up of prospectors, investors, busl- ness men, cannery officials and others whose presence in the North is or might be in the future, of benefit to the territory. With the heavy tourist bookings this summer and the large number already in the territory who will have to return in the autumn, the steamship passenger traffic at Seattle will continue to be unusual until Thanksgiving Railway and Marine News

CONDITIONS ON UPPER YUKON

The Fairbanks Citizen of June 21 stated that a telegram from Dawson gave the in formation that the mail accumulated at that placed had all been shipped, and that owing to the low water on Lake Lebarge, but limited amount of freight was coming down the Yukon. The telegram was in response to an inquiry wired to the Dawson News.
 Some of the contents of the telegram were as follows.
 General Agent Edwards says there has been no discrimination against Fairbanks ID the matter of sending mail or freight, and that every pound is being sent forward as soon as received and the boats sal, The Yukon will make quick trip, going without barge, and will carry about 100 tons of freight.
 Boats arriving here from up the river are bringing only half loads to Dawson, oW- ing to the shoals that are at the head Of the lake. DawSi n has received very little freight, aside from perishables. The market here is short on several articles, including gasoline, of which there IS none excepting that which is contracted for delivery. It Is not expected that any more gasoline Will be received here until lower river steamer ar rives, as there is none on the coast at any point up as far as Skagway, and the coast boats are not carrying any more unless they are chartered for carrying explosives.

Strike on the Hodzana
Record Citizen, June 26

(heCOrQ-olliZel, Julle LUI
 Ed Leepn, who left Ruby last summer, returned last Sunday, bringing news of the strike on the Hodzana river, mention ot which has been heretofore made. The strike Is about 130 miles from the Yukon, on the Pitka fork. Pitka fork is a left-limlt branch coming in about 100 miles from the mouth of the Hodzana Trout creek, where the strike was made. is about thirty miles from the confluence of the two branches, and IS a tributary of the branch of Pltka fork called Slate creek.
 Mir Leepin had wintered on the Hod- zana watershed near the Dall river divide, and did not hear of the strike until late Tn the spring. He was coming out of the Hodzana. and below the Pitka fork met men bound to the strike. He turned back and proceeded to Trout creek.
 Only one hole had been bedrocked on the creek discovery at the mouth. Glaciers, starting toward the head and gradually e1- tending down the creek, had made work i'm possible. On discovery about sixty feet ot bedrock was uncovered and three ounces had been secured by banning. It was estl- mated that the little dump contained 5oO more. The gold Is coarse, one halt-ounce piece being found.
 The discovery was made by Tom Stark of Dawson early in February. He staEed a good deal of ground on powers ot attorney from Dawson parties, and kept the dis covery secret.
 Jack Welsh of Rampant, and Argo Bill, wintering on Hardtack creek, tributary ot Slate creek, ten miles below Trout, were incensed because Stark did not let them ln on the find, and Mr. Leepin learned thet some of the Stark ground had been jumped, the claim being advanced that neither the bowers of attorney nor the claims had been recorded, as the law requires. Rampant, some 300 miles distant, is the recording of, fee. Welsh and Argo Bill, it is said, favored Stark on several occasions during the winter
 In coming out Mir. Leepln met several going up to the strike, and good many were building boats on the Yukon in prep aration for the trip. A good many are ex- pected to in from the koyukuk. MT, Leepln himself intends to return to the dtstnct soon.
 Favorable prospects have been found Tn the region for many years. About hiteeh wears ago a party of Indians headed by Pitka Minook of Rampant made sluce boxes and shoveled in bar gravel, but failed to make it pay That branch of the river was named after the Indian.
