Owing to the absence of Councilman
Lehmann, the numerous tax complaints
were not taken up at the meeting of
the city council last night and, as there
was little other business to transact,
the meeting was short and little of im
portance transpired. In addition to
Councilman Lehmann, Councilman
Blake was also missing from his ac
customed place when the mayor called
the meeting to order. The minutes
were read and approved and, as there
were no communications, the order of
business passed to the reports of city
officers. The city clerk and treasurer
both delivered their monthly statement,
disclosing that, allowing for unpaid
vouchers, there is the sum of $14,250.10
In the city strong box. The "!ty clerk
in his capacity of city magistrate re
ported that the sum of $275 had been
collected through the medium of fines
and forfeitures during the preceding
month.
City Attorney Hobbes announced
that he was engaged in drawing up the
ordinances providing for a change In
the time and nsethods of conduct the
local elections as, instructed at the pre
ceding meeting of the council and re
quested that the law, ordinance and
iiiinting committee and also the other
members of the council confer with
him at his oilice. A large list of claims
ami accounts against the city, includ
ing the monthly pay roll were read
11.i all such approved by the finance
committee were ordered paid.
Councilman Thompson reported on
behalf of the tire and water commit
tee that the suction pipe supplying wa
ter to the tire mains was now repaired
and in good working order. Owing,
us stated, to the absence of Lehmann
balrtnan of the tax protest commit
tee, nothing was done in the matter of
ie many complaints handed in recent
. the mayor stating that the commit
tee would be given another week to
complete their report.
There being no .further business.
Councilman Thompson moved the ad
journment with customary aplomb and
the council filed out.
The following Interesting Items rela
tive to the Kiana section are contained
!n a letter to .Tno Martini written by
.lack Sackett. formerly of Nome, who
s mining in that section. The mis
sive 13 dated ‘Riley Camp” October 9.
“George Stanley Is working on Klery
creek. Paul Xavier, Hugo Eckhart,
.lack Devine, Teddy Westlake and a few
core are also down there.
Mr. Burden spent the day with me
n his way down to Kiana He and
i ‘bldister have spent the summer In the
Noatak country prospecting on and
tround the Lucky Si. They found a
little gold but no pay. Mr. Chldlster Is
now at Shungnak and Burden will re
; irn there later.
Lewis Lloyd and Mr. Touhey are
working on Dahl creek and are doing
fairly well. They areb oth ‘98‘ers.
Harry Brawn Is on the Shungnak
nd Herman Paul Is on Lynx creek.
We have two trading posts, a school
and two missions at Shungnak and
Kiana will have three trading stations
this winter.
. mlge Moran and 1 have Just return
■ d from Kiana, a trip of 160 miles, in
an open boat in a drenching Arctic
circle rain—not very pleasant. Judge
Moran leaves again tomorrow and will
come back over the Ice.
I almost forgot to tell you that we
have the finest garden in the Arctic
circle. We have potatoes, carrots and
beets galore and the largest, finest
turnips I ever saw. They were planted
by your uncle Dudley. It was my first
work as a gardener, so you know It
must be easy. If Sol Smith Russell
or Denman Thompson could see this
Arctic farm of ours they would forget
all about the ‘Old Homestead' and
‘Peaceful Valley.’ ”
To date the following suggestions
have been received by the Chamber of
Commerce In answer to Us request
that the public suggest a motto or
slogan for the chamber which would
be prlntedo nthe stationery and on
such literature as will be issued from
time to time. The answers so far
handed In are: "All together for Alas
ka.” Develop Alaska,” "For the best
interests of Alaska,” and "Prosperity
on masse in Nome and Seward Penin
sula Is prosperity for the individual
citizen.” It may be further suggested
that the answers should be short and
It Is desirable that hey Include the
name of Seward Peninsula, If possible.
The use of the name of the district
is not, however, obligatory as what
is thought to be the best motto will
be the one selected regardless of whe
ther it refers strictly to Seward pen
insula or not.
ATTENTION! EAGLES!
Nomination and aloction of officers,
Tuesday night. All members requeated
to be present.

that old men are either too foolish
or too irritible to fill a really active
place in the business world. Bowers
declares that after a man has reached
the ago of sixty years ho is unfitted
to carry on large business operations
and should therefore retire in favor of
younger and more solf contained men.
