NEWS NOTES
The steamer I^v Touche is due ti
arrive from St. Michael about Erldnj
and Is expected to car.-y the next out
going mail for the states.
j The Silver Wave will leave for St,
Michael, with the second mnil of the
season about June 22. Owing to the
great quantity of Ice choking the en
' trance to the Arctic the dispatch of
mall for Kotzebue sound points Is
problematical.
j Long distance reports from Candle
today say that the Ice has been out
along the Kotzebue shore line In that
region for several days and ns far as
can be seen there Is no reason why
the boats cannot reach the long Iso
lated port. Doubtless the boats could
reach Candle without difficulty was It
not that the straits are choked with
Ice and entry Into the Arctic quite oat
of the question at present. /

Arrivals on the Silver Wave state
! that the storm which raged along the
j coast last week caused the barge of
j the Bernard dredge to go astray on
the high water which tore It from its
moorings near York. After being
tossed about for some time, the barge
finally was landed on the beach
| about two miles below York. The
! dredge Is the one that Bernard was
moving to Swanson creek for opera
I tions this summer and most of the
. machinery was removed during the
winter. A small portion of the ma
1 ohinery was still aboard at the time
the barge went adrift. It can easily
j be removed In the present situation,
however, and the Incident involves no
particular damage.
The schooner Silver Wave, arrived
from Teller anil Wales late yesterday

NOME CITY COUNCIL
HOLDS OUSINESS SESSION
The Nome city council met In reg
ular session at the city hall last eve
ning but, aside from the Introduction
of a resolution calling upon the city
attorney to draft a dog ordinance re
quiring that no more than two dogs
be kept within the municipal limits
by a single individual there was littie
business other than of a routine na
ture.
With the exception of Councilman
I’oteet all the city dads were on hand
when the meeting was called to order
by Mayor Lomen. After the reading
and approval of the minutes, the city
attorney reported he. had drafted an
ordinance increasing the interest on
property redeemed from the city after
failure to pay tho annual tax at the
stipulated time. The rate of 12 per
cent prevailing heretofore was in
creased to 15 per cent, under the pro
posed ordinance. When brought up
in the regular order of business later
in the meeting the ordinance was
tabled.
Mayor Lomen notified the council
that the dogs of Victor Anderson, of
which complaint had been made, had
been moved to other quartern. Mr.
C'olllns, the complainant In the matter,
was on hand and thanked the coun
cil.
Sundry .financial matters disposed of,
Councilman McAllister called the at
tention of the council to' the necessity
of changing the present heating ar
rangements of the fire house and city
hall Stating that it was costing the
city at the rate of $1,000 a year to
heat the two establishments at the
present time, he thought it advisable
that tlie city purchase a boiler and
Install its own plant, thereby saving
several hundred dollars a year. Coun
cilman McAllister also referred to his
pot project, the city scale, and was
granted more time to proceed with the
matter.
The dog ordinance previously re
ferred to was then taken up. In addi
tion to providing thnt no more than
two dogs he kept within the city
limits, the document further provid
ed that an assessment of two dollars
be levied against each dug so kept.
After some discussion the ordinance
was laid over.
This being lied Cross week, u reso
lution was presented urging the good
and patriotic citizens of Nome to
lend their assistance to ihe society
by means of contributions and such
olher assistance as might be render
ed. The resolution was adopted on
motion. Discussion of routine mat
ters followed and, being concluded,
the council adjourned.
