CITY COUNCIL WILL
 REDUCE ASSESSMENT.
Majority of that Body has Come to Conclusion that the Whole
 Thing was Wrong.

The city council will reduce the as- sessment valuation of real estate in the city. That may now be taken for granted.
 The whole trouble seems to have been with that body that the majority let a few busybodies of its members run things to suit themselves and placed trust in them, with the result that the incompetence of the few has placed the whole council in a most unenviable light. Before the meet ing of the taxpayers, it may be re- membered, some of the majority party of the council were quoted in this paper as saying that something had to be done to meet the wishes of the people. They had simply let things go too easily and now that the matter has been put up to them they will make everything right. Stub borness, Obstinacy and egOtism has failed.

POPE AGAIN TO
 ASK FOR PEACE
IN SPITE OF POOR RECEPTION OF FORMER EFFORTS
 HE STILL HOPES.

ROME, August 11.-Pope Benedic- tus has decided once more to make an appeal to the warning nations to enter into negotiations with a view to the restoration of peace. His previous proposals in this respect were not re- ceived we'll by some of the nations in- volved. Even Great Britain declared that no proposals of the kind could be entertained, and Russia refused al most to consider the proposal at all, but the pope is stated to be still hope ful that if a proper modus operandi can be provided the belligerents will agree at least to discuss the subject. The Italian government has not been approached more than any other and in this respect it is known that the Vatican is placed in most delicate situation because of the preponderat- ing influence of the Italian element in the papal government. The strictest neutrality is being maintained, how ever, by the pope and his advisors of all nationalities.

ANOTHER PLEASANT
 WORD FOR THE REVIEW

The most pleasant letters come con stantly to the publishers of the All Alaska Review. One which came on the last mail shows that even the military take an interest in it. Willis Betts, of the Quartermaster's depart ment, of the garrison at Haines, in sending a subscription says in part that "with the patronage it (The All-Alaska Review) merits it certain ly should be a success from all angles and ultimately as good as many that are published in the States and un- der very much more favorable con ditions. I am sure this magazine fills a long felt want"

BURN DANISH SHIP

LONDON, August IA German submarine attacked the Danish schooner Jason in the North sea last Monday and, setting fire to her by shell fire, burned her to the waters edge. The Jason was bound for Grimsby, England The Daily Chron- icle severely condemns the agitation raging in England at present to de- clare cotton contraband of war. The big newspaper, which is the chief or gan of the Liberal party, expresses the opinion that the listing of cotton as contraband would have the effect of angering the people of the Ameri- can cotton states without giving the allies any compensating advantage.

MAN NOW IN SEWARD Is
 FOR R. R. COMMISSION.
His Presence May be Cause of RumOr That Another Man Repre-
 sented Secretary Lane.

E. z. Bowen, who is now in Seward, has come to take charge of the com missariat of the government railroad construction work and, according to the Juneau Empire, is a personal friend of Secretary Lane of the IT, terior department. His coming on the same vessel with Mir. Shoot may have been the cause of the rumor that the latter was here to represent that department. In speaking of Mir. Bowen, the Empire said;
 "E. z. Bowen of San Francisco, per sonal friend of Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the Interior Department, ar rived in Juneau yesterday, on his way to Anchorage to become cOmmissariat for the Alaska railroad commission He made the trip on the steamer Jef- fersOn to Skagway and Sitka, with a party of San Franciscans, and will sail for Seward on the Northwestern. He is registered at the Alaskan Hotel
 Mir. Bowen expects to be in Alaska for the next five years, as it will take that long, it is estimated, to complete the railroad, and will bring his family to Seward as soon as he can get lOcat- ed.
 q have never been in Alaska be- fore" he said last night, "and l must say the trip so far has impressed me I suppose I will be a 'sOurdOugh' by the time the railroad is finished Mir. Bowen will report to Chairman W. c. Edes, of the commission, a: soon as he arrives in Seward"

LONDON, Aug. l1.-The trawlers Harbor. Wiper and Benardna have been sunk by German submarines off the English coast in the North sea. The crews are safe. This is the re- suit of the second direct raid by the Germans on the fishing fleets, raids which have evidently been undertaken in the hope of curtailing the English supply of fish as the loss of the traw- lers themselves amounts to only very little

In the defeat of Maurice q. Nc
Loughlin by William M. Johnston in
the contest for the tennis champion
ship of the United States the average
person who essays this fascinating
game will be but mildly interested.
Such a person will be impressed by
the facts that both Hayers are Cali
fornians, that Judging by results east
ern players this year were outclassed
by players from the Pacific coast and
that the victory of Johnston registers
what might be termed in sporting
parlance an upset; for. although Nc
Loughlin last year lost the champion
ship to r. Norris Williams IL, his
marvellous playing has given him a
foremost position during the last few
tennis seasons, while Johnston, a
youth OF twenty years. has not hither-
to been regarded as a player of vast
iy superior merit.
But the average player will fail 10
take a really <een interest in the
championship match at Forest Hills.
l.. l., for the reason that he plays a
somewhat different game from that OF
the McLoughlins, the Williamses and
the Johnstons, says Chicago Daily
