The action of the city council
in voting to piace tne municipal
lignt aim pumping p.ant ana aiso
U»e coai yaru quest.on on tne o,n
ctal aauot at tne Ioitncoinmg
election unngs tne matter squal
ly oeioie tue pebple. 11 tney want
tne pioposeu innovations and the
possiuie benents to De derived
tnerefiom it is now plainly up to
them to say so. i here has been
a vast deal of luke warm discus
sion over the matter of late but
• this usually means very little in
Nome. W e are always long on
talk but it usually don’t amount
to much when it conies to a show
down. Acting is the least impor
tant of our attributes, as evidenc
ed by the repeated failure of pro
jects of a progressive and bene
ficial nature which have been
developed in the past. We have
been ready enough to talk about
them in a commendable vein but
when it comes to getting in and
helping them along we were sad
ly lacking. It is therefore not an
unfair surmise that the same
thing will happen in the pumping
plant matter. We are, general
ly speaking, ready to admit that
the project contains the elements
of a material benefit to the com
munity ; w’e have little doubt that
the establishment of a municipal
pumping plant alone will effect a
material reduction in the civic ex
pense® and everybody is more or
less convinced that a city coal
vard will have a very decided ef
fect on their coal bills. We also
have a vague idea that the city
will be able to save something by
installing a plant for street and
other city lighting. We are ready
lo recognize these things in theory
but tile question is are we willing
to vote for them and work for
them with vim and spirit until we
get them? Are we willing-to dig
down into our pocket, if need arise
to help tins! several projects-along
to the point- whifre they betOme
realities or do we intend- to- do
as we have done so often in the
past—talk about them for a little
while and run when there is a
prospect of having to put up
something? Do we recognize in
t.i* tnree proposals possiolities
of sutheient merit to warrant us
in placing a portion of our bank
account to the credit of the city
in the event of congress refusing
to giant us the right to issue
bonds for the purpose? Are we
ready to show our faith in the
future of the country and the
community by putting up the
money ourselves in case there is
10 other alternative?
Or, do we intend to merely vote
for tile three propositions laid be
fore us and then leave it up to
the council with no intention of
carrying the matter farther
case congress refuses to give us
the privilege of issuing city pa
per so that we can get the neces
sary fun.ds from professional
money lenders? Also, in case We
endorse the several projects, will
we get in the collar and work to
impress upon congress the great
desirability of lending us the as
sistance we ask?
VV ill we be able to arouse suf
ficient energy to personally work
to show that body that in grant
ing our request they will be con
ferring a great benefit on the
community? That is very likely
what we will have to do before
we get through and we should
make up our minds to it as well
first as last. If we want the
pumping plant, the lighting plant
or the coal yard or either of them
u o will have to get right down to
! us'ness and work to get them.
It is little use to place the whole
effair up to the chamber of com
i.<ice and the council and then
forget all about it- If we are con
vinced that we can benefit our- :
'•*ves by havmg any or all of
the three it is plainly up to us to
employ every posible effort to the
desired end. Every one should
! e behind the movement to bring
it to a succssful conclusion;
should be ready to vote for it,
work for it and put up the money
if need should arise. If the thing
is worth starting it is worth go- .
ing through with.
EXERCISE IS LIFE. |
The arm chair will get you'if 1
you don’t watch out! Mark ■
Twain proved by statistics that
lying in bed was the most deadly
>f occupations. Every chair up
holstered or plain is .rife with
germs that kill. Primitive man
was very much on the jump- He
was so spry on his feet that heart
and kidney diseases, appendicitis
and indigestion were not able to
work him into a corner and land
a knockout. Superb footwork
saved our ancestors from degen
eration at 40- Walk! Don’t stroll!
Go at a pace that will stretch the
stagnant muscles and rock the
vital organs that were not in
tended to sleep twenty-four hours

Tliere's one rubber boot
that has “made good”
in Alaska, and that’s the
Goodrich
HIPRESS”
White Boot
‘With the Red-Lino ‘round the Top"
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “HJPRESS” Boots actually wear
I -~y x_. longer thin iron or steel I You don’t have to half*
sole them with leulher—they far outwear hpb
I nailed leather boles. The reason for this unusual service is that
‘‘Hll’RESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that, goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONK SOLID PIKCKt
Nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, creek or split.! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the tout while it '., working. We promise that once you start
wearing White “HlPRflgS’’ you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—It l.as a Red-Lino ’round tho Top.

TASTING BY THE NOSE.
.ai ^_
Sir Ray Lankereter, the emi
nent man of science, asserts that
he flavor of'food and drink does
not come to us through the sense
of taste. That sense, he says, can
only furnish sensations that cor
espond to the chemical composi
tion of the substances presenter
to it. We can distinguish In
taste only sweetness, bitterness
sourness, and saltness, although
the various intensities of these
sensations are innumerable Th
distinctive flavor of various foods
is not received by the tast
nerves. Flavors excite the olfac
tory nerve instead, and are trans
mitted by it to the brain .A
person whose sense ■ of smell is
impaired is unable to detect th"
avor of the food he eats, although
he has the taste sensation that it
stimulates. This is an explana
tion of the effect that influenza
often has apparently on the
taste, but. really on the sense of
smell.—Ex.
