wICKERsHAM PROTESTS

Here is brief resume of Wick ershsms protest letter, addressed to the Mayor and City Council and dated November 5:
 On March T, 1913, the Alaska Treadwelr Gold Mining Company and the Alaska Juneau Gold Min ing Company persuaded the then Mayor and City Council to sign an agreement exempting those com panies from payment of city taxes for thirty years from that date on property to be used within the city limits for a mill.
 It is estimated that, by this ex- emption agreement, which is charg- ed to be illegal, the city has lost about $18,000 year. During the past 21 years, the exemption has amounted, it estimated, to $378,OOO loss in taxes, that $524,000 is the amount, based on the valuation of

T perate struggle to overcome its operating difficulties and place the ~ operation on profitable basis, k This was evident to the property owners, No improvements were being made; buildings were not even being painted and only strict sly necessary repairs were being emade. Property in Juneau could be bought for a small percentage of sits present value. The taxpayers 0and other residents were patient and cooperated as well as they could to preserve, the enterprise and make it success.
 Penalize for Profit?
 .. "Now that the company is op- erating at profit, and the stock holders are receiving a long de- ferred dividend on money, which in many cases had been invested for twenty years with no return whatever, do the taxpayers wish to step in and try to penalize the company and it's stockholders for having made success of the enterprise.
 w When the City of Juneau and the Alaska Juneau came to this agreement, in the year 1913, the Alaska Juneau was a struggling young company, hoping to be suc- cessful in the future. The agree ment was made for the mutual benefit and protection of both par ties. The President of the Alaska Juneau, who was always known for his honesty, integrity and fair deal-

 Three suggestions were made That the Council ask the mine to voluntarily join the tax rolls again on this property; second eff the first suggestion faiD, to place an assessment on the described prop erty at the next collection of taxes; third, to let the facts be known with the idea that, perhaps, some taxpayer will bring suit to test the validity of the company's claim to exemption.

New Brunswick History

filed with romance. Cabot was the
first known white man to visit II In

sailed into. the mouth of "a great
river" on st. Johns day, June "a.
and named the river in honor of the
saint. The only inhabitation they
found was on the little island In
the harbor-an Indian fort and vii
iage. Champlain then claimed the
land for the French king.
The years that followed tell the
story of rivalry between the trad
ers, the brave defense Of her hus-
bands fort by Lady La Tour, with
its tragic sequel, and many other
heroic incidents. New Brunswick
was part of Evangeline's land and
in the early days of strife sheltered
Evangeline's friends In her kindly
forests. Later she opened her doors
