GLACIER FRONT EXPL LORATION
 PARTY LEAVES
Continu a ion of Fields Work Begins with De-
 parture of Yakobi

Continuing a year -by-year study of glacier fronts, party of three scientists is scheduled to leave Ju- neau this afternoon on Capt. Tom Smiths Yakobi for Glacier Bay.
 This group is expected to estab- fish base on Tarr's Inlet, where the receding face of Grand Pacific Glacier will be studied. On the next northbound run of the steamer Yukon the three will be joined by William Osborn Fields, Jr., New York man who is the sponsor of the expedition
 Leaving today are: Dr. T. A Cooper, professor of botany at the University of Minnesota, Russell Dow, Woodsville, New Hampshire; and Robert Stix, Scaresdale, N. Y Dow and Stix are students at Dart mouth College.
 Dr. Cooper arrived this afternoon from Seattle on the Alaska, while the youths came north on the Prin- cess Louise last week.
 The two young Dartmouth under graduates have been here before or similar Fields expeditions. They explained that the party will spend two and one-half months in Alas ka this summer, three week. oi which 1t will stay in the Glacier Bay area.

one of the Senatorial elections next year, they still win be in the mi nority.
 On top of that, l2 of the 32 seats to be filled in 1886 are in the Dem ocratic south--in Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Okl ah om a, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana, a, Arkansas, Georgia and Texas. Normally, all of these l2 places would be expected to go to the Democrats. giving them an assur- ance of 62 of the 96 Senate seats ir the next Congress.
 It would seem that If the Repub. ucans make up an exceptiona sweep they may wind up witt about one-third of the spells.

 the group is the present Democrat l ic whip Of the House. Patrick J. Roland of Scranton, elected three times in succession by capturing both Democratic and Republican nominations.
 r How It Works
 The records indicate that some 1000 Democrats in Scranton habit ually register as Republicans. In the last three Congressional cleo tions it has so happened that bona fide Republicans sought the nomi- nation for Congress. This so split the regular Republican vote that the Democrats held the balance of power and were able to elect Bo- |land. He has had no real difficulty In landing the Democratic nomina- ton.
 He is one of the five other Penn sylvania congressman whose cam paigns ended at the primaries be- cause they were able to capture both Democratic and Republican nominations. The others are Dunn of Pitts burgh, Ellenbogen of Pittsburgh, Berlin of Greensburg and Richard |'6on of Reading-all of whom label themselves in their official biog- raphies as Democrats.
 Guffey Delighted Each of these. men had the choice whenlg they came to Washington of affiliating with either party. Bo- land, for example, took his seat in December. 1881, at the time the Democrats took over control of the House. Their majority was rather slim and for several weeks both parties were bidding for his sup port.
 Finally he decided to join the Democrats. His selection as whip in the present congress is credited in some quarters to the decision he -'ede at that time.
 Pennsylvania politicians say that Senator Guffey, the first Democrat elected to the Senate from that <tate in 75 years, is highly pleased over the situation.

of ordinary means need not worry about having his taxes Increased next year.
 A tax raise for the rank and file of the voters is one of those things which simply don't come to pass immediately preceding a campaign year.
 Talk of general revision, with increases all along the line to meet the deficit, may sound well but no one would expect 1t to mus ter many votes on Capitol Hill. Not only the President but every one of the 435 members of the House and ! g. of the Senators come up for re- election in 1886, and all of them know that higher taxes never are popular.
 General tax increases come after elections, not just before. By that token, a different forecast may be in order after the votes are in in 1886.

DOUGLAS WILL HOLD ELECTION
 ON AUGUST F
To Decide Question of Is- suing $25, ,000 in Bonds
 for Improvements

Whether or not the incorporated town of Douglas City Alaska, shall issue bonds in any sum not exceed ing $25, ,000 payable in graduated in- stallments, bearing interest at a rate not to exceed 6so per annum and which said bonds shall be a general obligation of the town of Douglas, and the proceeds thereof to be used to construct, reconstruct, enlarge, extend and improve its water supply system; and
 Whether O. not the incorporated town of Douglas City, Alaska, shall issue bonds in any sum not exceed ing $15,000, payable in graduated installments, bearing interest at a rate not to exceed 6%6 per annum and which said bonds shall be a general obligation of the town of Douglas City, and the proceeds thereof to be used to construct, reconstruct, enlarge, extend and improve sewers"
 These are the questions to come before the qualified electors of the town at a special election set for Monday, August 12. The election was properly decided and arranged for at meeting of the City Coun- cil as specified by the act of Congress on June 18, 1884 which gave Douglas the authority to undertake the municipal improve ments mentioned in the two ques- tionS.
 Although a limit of $40000 is placed on the amount of the bond- ed indebtedness which the town may be obligated by the vote, but $27 500 is the amount actually in- volved in the loan and the interest rate will be 4s6 per anrum ns.ead of 6%, all on account of the ln're favorable terms by which the two public works imp uvements may now be carried on.
 Whe Can Vote
 Qualified voters in the co.nine special election will be limited to only those whose names appear on the last tax assessment roll. The entire area embraced within the corporate limits of Douglas will constitute one voting precinct and the voting place will be at the fire room of the city hall. All persons who are citizens of the United States, 21 years or over of age, resi- dents of Alaska one year and six months residence in the town and whose names are on the last tax assessment roll, may vote.
 Tax Roll Completed
 Clerk Felix Gray presented his list of all taxable property, per- sonal and real which he has been working on for the past month, to the Councilmen. They approved of the list and set the first three days of next week, July 29 30 and 31 as the dates for the Council to sit as a Board of Equalization to hear any complaints there may be regarding this years assessments.
