The city council met in regular
session last night, all members being
present and the mayor presiding.
The regular routine was gone thru
with and the monthly bills allowed
and ordered paid.
William Sime was unanimously
elected city marshal and superin
tendent of water works.
A communication was read from
the Alpine club, accompanied by a
petition containing about two hund
red and fifty names, asking that the

1 follows:
Skagway, Alaska, April 14 |
Col. J. G. Steese,
Chairman. Alaska Road Com.,
Juneau, Alaska.
Sir—Ve, the Mudersigned. re
spectfully petition the Alaska Road
Commission to extend the present
Skagway valley road through the
timber tract of the East Kork of the
Skagway River In order to make
this timber availalie for fuel and
other uses to the citizens of the
Town of Skagway.
After some .discussion it was unan
imously agreed that the council
would endorse the proposition, as
everyone feels the necessity for
some kind of a road to timber limits
where the town can be supplied
with fuel.
The petition was fathered by the
Alpine club and was generally sign
ed by almost all citizens and resi
dents.
Another communication was re
ceived from the Alpine club calling
attention to the filing of a home
stead on the ground near Smuggler's
cove and asked If the council would
| take the matter up with the proper
i authorities and see if the ground
J was open to filing. The clerk and
mayor were instrucied to look into
the matter and write the depart
ment.
j After a general discussion, it was
I decided that the va.lous committees
would, at the next meeting, bring

Of money each committee would

place the expenditure of money on
the budget basis.
The council adjourned ut 9.30.

W. n. GRANT
The Sentinel heartily endorses W.
D. Grant for the Territorial Legis
lature.
It would be to Wrangell's advan
tage to have a Wrmgell man in the
legislature, and especially would it I
be to the town's besi interest to have
as representative a level-headed man
like W. D. Grant, who knows our
needs, and would always be on the
alert, ready to use all his energy
in working for anything that would
benefit Alaska as * whole or the
Wrangell district In particular.
Mr. Grant stand; for the encour
agement of capital to come north
and for legislation which will open
up the territory for development.
He is a sterling Republican, stand
ing for no clique or faction and
there is no reason why he should not
poll the unanimous vote of the
Wrangell district. There are four
representatives to be elected The
Democratic party has only two can
didates. Therefore, if you are not
a Republican you can still vote for
Mr. Grant without voting against
your own party, wl.ich has failed to
put out a complete ticket.
Mr. Grant has-resided In Wrangell
for twenty-live veari. He knows the
needs of this region as but few men
do. He will be elected a member
of the next legislature, but it will
give him additional prestige with
i his colleagues if the voters of this
district will ';make it unanimous."

WHY CALLED "CLD DOMINiON*
! Two E-planaiions Have Been Given
for Nickname 3;ttow«d on tne
State of Virginia.
. There utv two explanations as to
him the >::iu- of Virginia ituot iu Ik*
called llomill.ou." Tin- one glv
eu In the following account Is genes*
ull.v regarded a> the un»t plausible:
"In (.'apt. Julin Smith's 'History of
Virginia.' rdlllini of HESt. there Is a
map of the settlements of Virginia,
whi'h ut tli.U time .nciuded New Kug
land. as well a» every other part of
the Hritlsh settlements iu America.
He there tails our present Vlrgina
'Ould Virginia'—the wool old l«-lng
1 so sjiclled at lhat lime—in coutradis
tini'ilou to the New Kngland colony,
which Is culled 'New Virginia.' Uere.
then, we have the word 'ouid,' the dis
tinctive word of the title Now, we
know thai, from the settlement of the
colony to the Revolution, every act
of iMirllnmeiit. every letter of the king
to the governor, designated Virginia
as the "colouy and dominion' of Vir
ginia. Here is found the other word,
and the change Iu common talk from
'Ould Virginia' to 'Old Dominion'- was
ea*v. Imperceptible and almost Inevi
table."
The other explanation 1« that the
title "Old Dominion" was bestowed
upon Virginia hj ( harles II. because
the colony hud refused to reosnlze
the government of Cromwell, and. af
ter the execution of Charles I had
transferred Its allegiance to his son.
In gratitude for this loyalty. Charles
II caused the arm- of Virginia to be
quartered with thos< of England. Scot
land and Ireland, a distinctive pop
tion of the Hid Dominion and an In
dependent member of the I'n.ted King
dom.

ROAD PROGRAM IS AVNOrxCKD
| It has lately been announced that
! the road program of the forestry
so vice has been approved by the sec- i
reiary of agriculture and that plans
for the completion of the Glacier I
Highway from Junnu to Cagle Rtv- i
er have been endorsed. Two hund
red and thirty thousand dollars will J
be necessary to pui the entire road
in perfect condition The road will
probably be extended from its pres
ent terminus at /.#k Bay to Tee
Harbor this season Later perhaps
the road will be extended beyond
Berners Bay.
While the funds for this road ;
work are supplied by the forestry \
MIT toe, the actual work will be an-j
perintended by the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads Under Supervisor C. W.
Cheatham.
The program submitted to Secre
I tary of Agriculture Wallace and ap
proved by him include the following
J projects:
Glacier Highway I2S0.000
•Ketchlkan-Wards Cove .. 6S.000
Petersburg-Scow Bay ..3.600
Salmon River 20.000
Seward-Kenai 125.000
Cordova-Eyak Lake JO.000
Yakutat $.000
Investigations and mainten
ance 10,400
Total 1566,900
•$1S,000 of this amount is federal
highway funds.
Bids on two of the projects are
now being called for, namely, the
Ketchikan-Ward* Cove Job and tt^e
Glacier Highway, and if the bids
are not satisfactory, the bureau Is
in a position to do the work itself
so the work will probably be start
ed at once. Two additional engin
eers. Wilson Br%dley and R. S
Graves, will arrive on the Queen,
and after tbelr arrival a pioneer par
ty will stake ont the Glacier High
way right-of-way it, preparation for
