I of the Canadian line down into the
i Flathead lake,” says Tom Shaugh- 1

over three hours coming from Safety

stay there until the weather moder
I ates.

At the weekly meeting of the city
council held last night certificates of
election were ordered issued to those
who were successful in the recent
election, in the matter of auditing
the accounts of the city M. W. Grif
fiths informed the council that the
amount of $75 for such work was
inadequate but could be performed for
$$200. Owing to the fact that the city
clerk had been re-elected this work
was eventually considered unneces
sary.
Nomeites in Juneau are loyal and
though money is tight they managed
to raise three hundred dollars to fat
ten up the Sweepstakes purse. The
wire received by the secretary of the
Kennel Club speaks for itself. We
are not surprised at the amount of
money raised—are mighty glad to get
It—but wo are surprised at the fact
that Grigsby and Allan stayed out all
night! Who ever heard of such a
thing of our old friends!
