Council Deadlocks on
Appointment of Chief
The vote stood three to three last Wednesday night for J. It.
McGovern and W. W. Wiles for chief of the fire department, and
Councilman Mutchler not present. As a result, the vote was de
clared off until next Wednesday night when the whole council will
■>e present, and when the matter will be definitely decided.
Having decided upon the ordering of the fire apparatus, and
iccepting the bid of the N. C. Co., the council thought it about
time to appoint a permanent fire chief. The communications of all
applicants were read, being those of McGo\ urn, Wiles, Felix Seppi
and Arthur Howard. Howard having gone to Ruby, his name was
scratched, and the vote was held on the three other applicants.
Voting was done by ballot, and on the first count it was found
the council split evenly on Wiles and McGovern. City Attorney
Roden then advised that this vote be declared off and that they
take a new vote next week instead of letting it stand and giving
one councilman the right to cast the deciding vote. Under this sit
uation it is very probable that if additional applications were put
in by responsible men they could still be considered.

War Breaks Out
On Third Avenue
Merry war has started on that por
tion of Third avenue known as the
restricted district, as the result ot
which a number of the girls living
there have put in a vigorous protest to
the city council objecting to the ex
tension of the row to that porttion
lying between Black and Willow. In
this they are backed up by another
Cr.
Petaluma Eggs, Salinas Potatoes, Pomona
Oranges, Lemons, Seal-Tight Hams and Bacon,
Lowney’s Chocolates
And a Largs Variety of CANNED SWEATS All First-Class and in Prime Condition

protest presented to the council last
Wednesday, signed by citizens and
ladies of the eastern portion of the city
asking that the row be confined to its
present limits.
The trouble started by the recent
purchase of a building on Third street
west of Black, or nearer to Willow than
the authorities have previously allowed
the girls to come. The rest of them
object to this because they maintain
that they were not allowed this privi
lege and no one else should be. The coun
cil sidestepped the question Wednes
day, layiug the communications on
the table and promising to take the
matter up at the next meeting.
Woodrow Wilson
Says Home Bole
Seattle—Governor Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey, in an interview pub
lished in the Post-Intelligencer, said
that the people of the Eastern states
did not understand the Alaska situa
tion.
He believes Alaska should be gran
ted self government and says he has
asked the Democratic Congress to
! grant the North that much. It is his
j opinion that Alaska is too distant from
I Washington to he successfully governed
| from the capital.
Governor Wilson says nothing Alaska
lias ever done has impressed the situa
tion upon Easterners as did the
Cordova incident.
Chief Can Gan
Careless Canines
Pursuant to a need that lias become
apparent within the last week or so,
the city council has passed an ordi
nance against careless canines and
hereafter, if dogs don’t behave them
selves they may get pinched.
Chief of Police O’Connor has been
considerably harassed by droves of dogs
that roam about the city looking for
trouble, wherefore the council gave
him power to act in the premises. If
any foolish pup gets excited now and
starts running around the block in an
eccentric manner, he may find himself
a useful target for the betterment of
police marksmanship.

Siwasfi Seeing Seattle
Has ST50 Joy Hide
Seattle—Charles Baines, an Alaskan
Indian, and a parishoner of Father
Dunean, ended a joy ride in a hack
here minus $750, the savings of a life
time.
Baines arrived in Seattle on the Str.
Jefferson from the Metlakahla mission
with $750. After seeing part of the
city he decided a hack was the proper
procedure. Two strangers volunteered
to pilot the vehicle.
When Baines arrived at police head
uarters via trolley he was so over
come with remorse at his backsliding
that it was with difficulty the story of
his wanderings was gleaned from him
by a desk sergent. Baines says the
money taken by his erstwhile friends
was the savings of a lifetime. He
could give no clear description of the
men. _
Dell One of Flat's Attractions
Situated in the heart of the business
district of Fiat, and already a popular
rendezvous for the busy portion of
Flat’s industrial life, the Dell cafe,
recently opened by Mr3 Joe McDowell
and Tom Patterson, has become a
recognized institution and is known as
a good place to go to eat.
Both partners in the enterprise have
had much experience hitherto, of which
the meals now being served are
ample proof. Tom Patterson is an
excellent chef, and with service in
charge of Miss C’oolidge, the combina
’ion proves ’o the good.
Kuskokwim Prisoners
Will Start Tomorrow
Bringing George Tisdale, charged
with murder and Parros, charged with
the illegal sale of whiskey, Deputy
Marshal Siebe is due to start from
Georgetown for this eity tomorrow,
according to a letter brought in last
Wednesday by Roy Davis.
Both of these prisioners will be tried
during the next term of the district
court beginning July 10, and following
the Redfern case, the Tisdale murder
trial will doubtless be the first
on the calendar. Mr. C. Tisdale, a
brother of the accused, was a tecent
arrival from Seattle and will remain
here to assist in the defense.
Attorney J. C. Moody is still at
Georgetown and according to Siebe’s
letter he will probably appear here on
behalf of Parros.
Whether or not he is interested in the
Tisdale case is Dot known.
Upon Mr. Siebe’s arrival it will
doubtless be possible to get further
details concerning the reported drown
ing of Gil McIntyre and Ed. St. Clair,
as well as news concerning the
man who was reported to have frozen
to death on the Hahaliknuk early this
spring. __
Seward Will Not Incorporate

City Must Take
Care of Indents
The first case in which the city
has been called upon to look after
the sick and needy came to the at
tention of the council Wednesday
night, when the council was asked
to investigate the plight of Mr.
Martin, an aged sourdough, who
has been lying ill in a tent in this
city without funds and without
proper medical treatment. It would
be more proper to say that such
was his condition, for, when his
condition was discovered, J. R. Mc
Govern devoted considerable time
to bis case and Dr. Wortman offered
his services.
Upon presentation of the matter,
City Attorney Roden told the coun
cil that it was the city’s duty to
look after the sick and indigent
within the city limits, but for cases
outside the city it was now the
duty of the marshal’s office to take
charge under the new indigent law.
This charge against the city has
always been a heavy one in Fair
banks, and doubtless will here, but
there seems to be no way to get
around it, even if the council were
so inclined. They--tost ..no time,
however, in investigating Martin’s
case and providing him relief at
once. He is now improving.
