Therefore, there is no sound reason why the funds derived from this source should be di-- verted to the Territory"

Propose Issuance
 $1OO,OOO Bonds

A special meeting of the City Council was called to confer witt Attorney H. L. Faulkner to con sider the feasibility of securing permission from Congress to is sue an additional $1OO,O0O it City bonds.
 It was stated that there was no immediate need of such an issue except, perhaps, to retire certain school and hydro-electric bonds now outstanding at ' per cent which could be redeemed and a reissue made at 6 per cent af-. fecting a saving of per cent to the town.
 The main idea seemed to be to secure this authority from Cor gress in case it is deemed nece5- Sary to tunnel the mountain for outlet from Crystal Lake instead of using the present pipe line.
 Outstanding City bonds now are $97,000 City Light and $35,-. coo School Bonds-a total in debtedness of $132,OO0 with an assessed valuation of half a mil lion dollars. The issuance of bonds would depend of course, upon sanction of the voters at an election. Suitability of the bonds would depend upon finan- cial conditions.
 MT. Faulkner is now conferring with City Clerk Clausen prepar- ing statement of present indebt-- edness, tax valuations and esti- mated valuation of the public works as data for the informa- ton of Delegate Wickersham in order that he might present such a bill to Congress when it convenes in December.

Y ickersham Will
 File Once Agair,

Delegate James Wickershan has announced his candidacy fol renomination before the Repuh. lican primary in April next, thrl the following letter:
 Washington, D. c.
 October 13, 1881 H. B. Selby, Esq,
 Editor Stroller's Weekly,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 My dear MT. Selby:
 In reply to the statement in your letter of October End, that no expression had been made public that I intended to make the race for Delegate from Alas ka again, permit me to inform you and the people of Alaska, that it is my intention to offer myself as such candidate again to the Republican primary next April
 In the meantime Congress will be in session and I will attempt in good faith to carry out the pledges contained in my plat form upon which I was elected last year, and also further sucn other meritorious legislation for the benefit of Alaska as shall be presented to Congress.
 I shall appeal to the voters for their continuous support llp- on the record to be made by me in that effort, and upon the sur- cessful services performed by me in my prior work for them ill Congress. You nay give such publicity to this announcement as you wish. Thanking you for your promise of support in the next campaign, I remain,
 Very Sincerely,
 James Wickersham,
 Delegate from Alaska.
 Says Stroller's Weekly: MT. Wickersham'S announcement has been received with great pleas ure by local Republicans, who realize it will greatly clarify the political situation in Alaska, as the rank and file of the party were awaiting his intentions with some anxiety. While he was considered the logical can didate for the position, and the strongest man the party could prevail upon to head the ticket, it was feared that other duties might prevent his accepting the nomination next year.
 Delegate Wickersham is no stranger to Alaskans, having faithfully served the Territory as Delegate for a number of terms. He is author of Alaska's enabling act, under which the Territory operates and at all times has worked for his con- stituents. It is hard to con- ceive of any man of more i'm portance to the political life o& the Territory. His nomination is equivalent to his election.
