This is not Ken- | orally understood in tho south and some have resented If. Tho follow ing: facts will give some light on the <|iiestinn : Tho debates In congress on thc bill have developed the fact that until recently Alaska has been unappre ciated, as was the great northwest country when acquisition hy the Uni ted . States was considered. Bren people who do business along the west . coast of Alasku are said to be ignor ant in great measure of Ita Interior. Btit the coast, except for the fishing industry ls of relatively little commer cial importance. The discussions have developed that In tho Interior there are Immense agricultural re? sources capable ofsustaln lng the pop ulation of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Russia and Siberia. This has only been known within the last few years. AH a result of railroad construction this fertile lund ls expected to be tak ?u up at once by hoards of homestead ers, for Alaska has what are admitted lo he good homestead laws. . And as to coal deposits, Alaska ls rich. It lips two notable coal fields larger than any In the United States or possibly In the world. The Beh ring river field covers 75 square miles and the Mutauucka held 85. They are practically virgin, only one title hav ing been perfected. The rest belong to tho government and lt is the ex pectation that this land will be open ed. The government Is willing, and transportation facilities are expected to bring it shout. The railroad de- J velopiiient wil open the coal lands and , the coal will, furnish tho power to op- i erato thc railroads and bring about j other development, tinder present con- j dit ions it cost $-00 a ton now to ship \ mining machinery to points along the , Yukon river and SI a ton for each I nillo tn transport lt Into thc Interior I on jjleds and by other means. The opening of mines In Alaska to- , gether with the building of a rail- ; road and the opening of the Panama .< Canal, lt is estimated will Hav?. the ' government from three to five dollars . a ton on its coal burned In the Pact- , flo. Alaska Itself now buys coal < front';british Columbia. One statlstl- 1 clan figures that Alaska has as much ' coal as Pennsylvania and West Vir ginia together and that it Is as good 1 !? quality. J Senator Chamberlain, In meeting the \ opposition to the proposal that tlu ( government go Into the railroad busi ness td the extent of $40.000,000, ad mit t?>d that thin would bw the first time the government had ever owned 1 a railroad but he argued that the sum ?

The various steps to he taken to put the matter be fore the people in towns of this size are as follows: 1st. lt in a petition <?i registered electors qualified to yote in such eil\ equal t?? 2S per cent, of the votes cast for all candidates for mayor at the last preceding city election petition therefor, the mavor is required to call a special elec tion to he held not later than one month nor earlier than mie week alter the petition is filed. 2nd. Thereupon a special registration of the qualified electors is ordered. ?rd. li a maj?rih ol the votes cast are favorable to the commission form of government, the mayor certifies this lo the Secretary of State and calls a special election for a mayor and two councilmen, this election to be held not later than six weeks thereafter. The town is divided into wards tor the election of these councilmen, but all of the electors of the whole city vote for mayor and two councilmen. A primarv election may Iv held two weeks before this general election. The mayor v iii receive a salary of .SI.ooo per year and the councilmen S S no each. They are each elected for a term of four years. A majority of this council of three is necessary ami sufficient to pass any ordinance or take any action. The executive and administrative powers and du ties of the city shall be divided by council among three de partments, each member to be superintendent of one de partment. Council has the right to establish or abolish any office or position they may deem necessary, and fix salaries for the same. Council shall melt at least once a month, and the meeting shall be open to the public. Several un usai and important provisions apply to the city government when conducted according, to this commis sion plan. For instance, no franchise"'sfiail be granted to any corporation for a public utility, unless approved by the majority vote of the electors of the town voting at a special election to he called for ?!i?? purpose. Also no officer or employee of the city shall be inter ested in any contract or job for work,or materials to be furnished, or he performed for the city, or for any company operating any municipal or public utility, such as streets cars, gas, telephone, water, lights, etc. Heavy fines are pro vided for violation of this section. If 20 per cent, of the electors petition for an election for such purpose, and a majority vote therefor, the mayor or either councilman, or all. can be recalled and retired at any time, and new officers elected in their stead at the same election. Likewise, 20 per cent, of the electors may propose any ordinance by petition, and ifcouncil does not pass the same within two weeks, it must call an election on the question, and a majority of the elextorkjnjlJLPut the or dinance in force over the will of cotrrrcll. rFuiTrTermore, 20 pen cent, of the electors may suspencLanv ordinance already in force, unless a majority of the ellqpfs vote in favor of its standing, at a special election to "Ifield forjhfe purpose. And finally, the pity may abandon tnra form cirgovernment after six years of its operation in the^anjjp way it is adopted.
