CARL WHITMAN, WHITE
 RIVER OPERATOR, IN CITY

Carl Whitman, who arrived on one of the last trains from his mining properties in the Nabesna and White river districts, left on the Yukon to spend the winter in Seattle and other coast states. MT. Whitman states that mining in his district has been hampered greatly by dry weather, but that considerable gold will be taken out the coming season. About four teen men will winter in the White river district. While in Cordova, MT. Whitman emphasized the need of good road to his district by way of Gulkana.
 "This road would eliminate going over the dangerous Skolai glacier" said MT. Whitman. "It would go over one small pass, thence by easy grades and flat country to the Nabesna, Shushana and White rivers"
 He stated that three partners on Ladue creek were sinking holes to bedrock, and at the present time are down 65 feet, with indications of good pay.
 About twenty people will winter in the Shushana district this season. MT. Whitman is heavily interested in the White river district, having two pla- -cer and 13 quartz claims, which at the present time are dormant owing to the high cost of freighting sup plies in to the properties.

ANCHORAGE COUNCIL MAY
 ELECT A NEW MAYOR

At the regular meeting of the An chorage city council, the resignation of Mayor NJ. J. Conroy will be pre- sented by City Clerk Fred Spach. Mayor Conroy announced his inten- tion of resigning at the last meeting in September, due to his continued absence during the winter in the states.
 Candidates for the position of ma- yor of the city of Anchorage are mo- ticeable by their absence. Rumor has not named any particular man as the favoIite. From all indications Sher- man and Shonbeck of the council men would be the most likely of elec- tion. However, it is understood that neither of these men care particular ly about accepting the position. Pro- bably, in the course of the election a dark horse will be chosen from outside the council.

Exemption

When women got to vote they
had to pay for it. Election
laws required legs of voters in
voting booths must be visible
up to the knee, and all voters
had to give their ages when
registering.
Unless the skirt Of the femi-
nine voter happened automat-
ically to effect compliance with
the law IN respect to legs, she
simply ignored the law alto
gether.
But the State board of cleo
ton commissioners has clarified
the situation by exempting
women from the provision.
Women, also, no longer have to
give their exact ages. They
may say they'll be "21 or up
ward" when they register.
