There was considerable activity on
Die water front this morning when the
good ship Silver Wave was launched
from the sanjJspIt. The trim little cmft
took the water—ran on to a bar—and
made a final wiggle which took her
into deep water where she now rides
proudly ready for business. At the
Standard Oil plant the tug Genevieve
also took the plunge. Reports from
Safetj- this afternoon state there Is
no sign of the ice breaking up on the
lagoon yet which does not allow of
i Die launching of the schooner Eagle, j
j The Belinda left for Tissue thsl after-j

Commodore George Beehive Mund y,

I quito fleet—at the home office—re
I turned from his annual Inspection of
the walrus and polar bear of the Be
ring straits on the good ship Belinda
yesterday.
The voyage —as usual—was full of
thrills: In the first place the shore Ice
between Sledge Island and the main
land was still solid which compelled
them to back up a mile and take the
island with a flying leap. In doing
this the kelson wash shifted to wind
ward and could not be replaced for
many hours.
The genial mariner had no further
trouble until Port Clarence bay was
sighted. Owing to that harbor being j
still frozen solid from Ix>st river to
Port Spencer he decided to proceed to
King island to check up on the Auk
let and Puffin family. These were
found to be in good shape, so, heading
south, east by east, the good ship
| Belinda returned and anchored off the
roadstead. The commodore in land
ing was saluted by the home guards
who fired one hundred guns In his
honor.
The Jewel Guar darrlved from St.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
TO REMOVE A RIVIT
i
A. T. A T.
COUNCIL, June 6.—Herrftan Soupe,
who Is In harge of the Kimball dredge
on Melsing creek, met with a peculiar
accident on Saturday last and he was
singularly lucky that it did not have
more serious results.
Soupe was endeavoring to punch a
rivet out of a piece of sheet steel and
thinking the process too slow decided
to take down his little cannon and
shoot It out.
Loading up his 22 with careless in
difference and taking careful aim
Hermann let drive. Almost simul
taneously with the report the bullet
struck him In the abdomen having re
bounded off the plate and as he was
standing close up it inflicted a nasty
wound and then disappeared out of
sight in the fleshy region of his body,
and there It is today as all the prob
ing of i)r. ftnmsay could not locate it.
Houpe is not suffering any and Is
up and around today. He is more
than satisfied with the result of his
experiment and is no worse off than
thousands of other men who—over in
Europe—are packing souvenirs which
never rebounded of any boiler plate,
and which are larger than the 22
caliber.
CITY COUNCIL HAVE
BIG LOAD TO PACK
According to the report submitted
to the city council by the city clerk
last night the expenditures of the last
common council of Nome exceeded the
city fund by $4,715. This is a big
weight for the new council to carry
but we have got something to show
for the money as now the city has a
complete pumping plant and Are sta
tion which Is a credit to Nome.
At last night's meeting the mayor
drew the attention of the council to
a communication received from the
Nome Chamber of Commerce which
directly referred to the hygiene of the
city. The communlcatton was in the
form of a recommendation to the
aldermnnic body as to the unsanitary
state of nattve dwellings and unoccu
pied houses.
Some of the members of the alder
manic body were highly Incensed at
the idea of dnyoen making suggestions
as to how the affairs of the city should
be conducted and expressed themselves
to that effect.
The report of the city clerk for the
month of May showed a deficit of
$347.70. The school board Were
grunted an appropriation of $1300 for
school expenses. Other business of
minor, importance was gone ^nto an4
the- meeting adjourned.
