On Saturday a well known lady had
i Sier husband’s powerful team of nine
dogs hitched up to give a woman
friend a ride. They headed up the
coast the dogs galloping at a Mara
thon clip. Suddenly the leader de
ckled lo come back and swung sharp
ly around. Vfter a struggle he was
headed westward again. Only to turn
once more. He did this four times so
exasperating the woman driver that
she offered to sell the whole outfit to
a pedestrian for fifteen dollars. He did
not have the esuh however and the
learn had its own way and dashed
madly into town only to collide with
a telephone pole just as Chief of
l*i bee Noilly was about to stop the
eager canines. The price of the out
j fit was now reduced to $7.50. At thin
I stage the owner of the dogs appeared
and told the leader to take the ladles
di wn to Fort Davis and back. He at
once started and obeyed orders to the
great peril of one of Kilroy’s pups,
NOTES
some sack3 of coal and several
freighting outfits. The secret of till
this speed has been learned to be a
diet of veanifuge anil canned milk
which is now made public for the
benefit of racing men.
Soon after the Borden Marathon
nad been run the officials of the race
sent a telegram to John Borden ap
prising him of the outcome and the
records of the racers. Today the fol
lowing teelgram was received in reply
and Is self explanatory
"CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—W. C. Mc
Guire, secretary’, Nome Kennel Club:
Many thanks for your wire received
on my return from New York today.
Please convey my congratulations to
the winner, Fred Ayer and my ap
preciation of their great race to the

CITY COUNCIL IN
REGULAR SESSION
vc n n Mayor Moll* r ca'. ■ > 1 *he city
council together last night .ili were
ptesent Tile minutes if ihe prrticus
meeting having teen to: d i nd ftp
pi- fd when a correciV had been
in-dr, a communcation w; s read f'om
the chamber of commero ashing 'hat
i the city time be change to conform
with telegraphic time.
Mayor Moller said that the road
j commissioner had received a wire
irom the Empire of Juneau stating
that the appropriation for the Alaska
load commission had been cut from
’h.- military bill and asking the coun
cil and other civic bodies to wire
Senator Chamberlain urlng him to
have the appropriation Inserted in the
senate. The mayor had sent such a
telegram, he said, at onec in order
that it might arrive in time to do
some good. He asked the council to
ratify his action which was done and
later in the session the price of the
telegram was ordered paid to his
honor.
City Health Officer Chace reported
that he had Inspected meat shops and
bakeries and found them sanitary'*
He also reported that the general
health of the city is distressingly good.
City Attorney O'Neil recommended
that the one prisoner now In the city
bastile be kept under surveillance In
stead of being allowed to roam the
streets. The mayor and Councilman
Hose rejoined that chief of police
Neilly had been instructed to let the
prisoner go to his meals and take ex
ercise for half an hour after each
meal. The mayor directed Councilman
Rose of the police committee to con
tinue to use his discreiton In the
matter.
Councilman McAllister made hU
customary report that the Are plant
is in fine working order except for
one thing. A tank is needed, he was
informed to hold water for the cir
culating cooling system. Some mem
ber said that the salt water now used
made the etngine miss pops. This
called forth a heate^l rejoinder from
Councilman R03S that salt water was
not mixed with the gas. All motor
boats on the ocean and ga3 pumps
along the beach use salt water for
cooling. He said that there was plenty
of piping and a circulatory pump at
the fire house which could furnish
cold water for the engine without a
tank. He agreed to take Mayor Mul
ler to the station today and explain
to him how the system can lie made
lo work without a tank. He further
explained that ;i little l'resh water is
used in the combustion of the engine
but that a coal oil can of it will suffice
for a twelve hour run.
Councilman 1’otcet and Wesley i -
ported that with Contractor Rolling
they had checked up the material
charged in Ross’ bill and found it all
there except $62.70 worth . As for
I the labor that could be only esti
| mated that they thought the bill in
the neighborhood of right. Councilman
Ross arose to explain that the lumber
was all there and if it was not in the
door It was somewhere else in the
'building. lie also offered to show
his books which will tell how the
labor was put in.
Mayor Moiler asked Councilman
Iturgh to take ttie chair and then de
clared that he wished to protest
against this method of doing business.
There is no record on the clerk’s books
he said of authorization of this ex
penditure. This was not the proper
tvr.y to transact the city business. He
did not question that the material and
labor were delivered as the bill in
dicated but he did not approve the
expenditure of this money without
formal proceedings in open meeting.
Then one after the other Council
man Rose, Burgh, Roteet and Ross ex
plained how the plant was begun, tin
necessity for baste, how the absence
or vetoes of Mayor Blake tended to
delay work and how a change was
agreed to by’ the councilmen aftfcr
the original contract had been let.
They also stated that it was agreed
that Ross’ bill for this extra work
should not bo presented until there
was money in the treasury.
Councilman Burgh moved that the
informal authorization of the extra
work should now be ratified by the
council and spread on the mlntues.
This was done.
Then a motion was made ‘.hat the
bill should be pnid, one thousand dol
lars down and tti® balance In 60 days.
On roll call all members voted yea
except tin mayor who passed on the
ground that he was not a party to the
earlier transatcions.
Councilman McAllister brought up
tin matter of city scales and Ross
,in<l Burgh when they go to Solomon
on the Moose burden handicap of
fered to examine the scales down there
which are for sale.
The matter of a foot bridge for
Sandspitters was supported by Rose,
Burgh and McAllister and McAlister
and Poteot were appointed to exam
ine the tackle now in the city's pos
session to see what can be done.
Bills that had been approved by the
finance committee were ordered paid
and the council adjourned.
