BUILDING OF WHARF ALONG
 ABATEMENT IN SIGHT

Negoti iations have been going on for some weeks between the Nome Common Council and the Engineer ir4g Commission in the matter of building a wharf along the revet- ment. The Engineering Commis- sion have determined to build the wharf for the actual cost of the la bor and materials. While it may be impossible from financial standpoint to build along the entire this year, ii is very feasi- ble to at least put in d section or so this year which can be added to from time to time.
 The Engineering Commission is going to extend the revetment from the foot of D Street Westward this year. It is from this point that the City intends building the wharf. When it is ascertained from Junea u the length of this extension, it will be easy to determine the proba ble cost of building the wharf alongside the same. Information is expected as soon as the engineers at Juneau have made their calculations.

However. this condition II believed
by authorities on the subject to he
only a minor hindrance to the newly
enfranchised Indians going to the
polls, the chief obstacle mentioned
being the lack Of organized machin-
cry. Most of the Indians, II In point
ed out, live on closed reservations
located in unorganized counties
where there are no officials to pro-
vide the necessary ballots, polling
places and other election facilities.
Not only the Indians in the par
ticular circumstances described are
prevented from casting their votes,
but even white citizens living on the
reservations have no such opportun-
ity.
In one or two states, however. this
condition Ii said to have been rem.

ian reservations permitting the citi-
zens I'm unorganixed jurisdictions to
cast their ballots in the adjoining
counties.
More than 100000 Indians had been
made citizens before the passage Of
the new citizenship act and a large
percentage of these are said to be
placed in the similar position of not
being able to vote solely because the
facilities enabling them to exercise
this right are not available.
