YES, instructed to SELL ! And
we have been SELLING ! The
ridiculously low price on our high
class goods is the seller. With

We shall continue hammering down prices uri
mercifully, until every garment has moved over to
the consumer, for orders are given to sell out and clean

It would be obnoxious, though we may try, cutting
prices, or putting certain articles at certain figures: for
our variety of men’s wearing apparel is too great and

Three competitors trying to subdue one another

The Third Street Question
Mr. Auten, chairman of a special
committee which had been appointed
to inquire into and report upon the
circumstances causing complaints of
encroachments by undesirable women
on Third street said the committee had
no w ritten report, but that Mr. Mc
Donell was in a position to state the
case verbally.
Mr. McDouell said he and Mr. Wood
had walked past the row of houses oil
Third street, on the block between the
creek and Black street, and asked
women on the premises what they were
doing there. The women answered
that they were there to get the money.
The members of the committee did not
enter the houses or question the
women in detail; but retired to the
house of Mr. Auten, w’here the full
committee went into a long conference
over the matter. The conclusion ar
rived at was that the ordinances and
rules adopted by the old council should
be adhered to as nearly as possible.
The dead line established by the old
council was at Black street. The com
mittee was in doubt as to tile legal
authority to order the women to move,
but thought such » course should be
taken if the council has the power.
Mayor Barnes stated that the women
thiii afternoon liail a!i vacated i lie
block in question. But the question
ought lota pc i mam ntlf settled. The
women should he restricted to the ter
ritory beyond Black street or else in
formed i hat the eree.; will be considered
the line in future. The council hasthe
right to establish a line beyond which
the objectionable characters will not
be allowed to come; but that does not
imply any immunities or promises
to them for remaining outside of that
line.
Mr. Mutchler moved that the com
mittee’s report be accepted as the
sense of the council.
Mr Bradley said he had engaged
competent counsel, but the attorney
had been compelled to go out to the
creeks. He said he ivas entitled to a
hearing and hoped the council would
let the whole question go over for
another week.
Upon a vote being taken the com
mittee’s report was accepted as the
sense of the council.
Charlton’s Sign
Chairman Bradley of the street com
mittee reported that he had refused
permission to J. W. Charlton to erect
a sign extending over the street in
front of his place on the east end of
First avenue. Some of the property
ownets further out on the street ob
jected to tlie proposed sign because it
would obstruct their v:ew along the
st t eel.
Mr. Auten said that the scenery
along the street just now is not very
inspiring, and residents further up the
hill ought not to take their loss too
much to heart, even though their view
of the more central part of the city
should be totally obscured.
It appears that a sign has already
been erected by Mr. Charlton, and that
it does really interfere with the view
up and down the street. It was agreed
to let him keep the sign provided he
would raise it to a height designated
by the chief of police.
School Board In Need
VY. A. Hunsaker, in behalf of the !
__i
school board, in a communication made
known the need of $200 with which to
windup the accounts of the past school
year. There being no money in the
treasury, the oulv thing that could be
done was to p'aee the communication
on file. There ought to be some poll
tax money to come in soon, and a small
amount is due from Fairbanks. The
board will probably gel its demands
soon.
The Wood Question
Mayor Barnes said Banks & Mikuta
were having a hard time in trying to
keep up their wood supply. They have
been getting it here and there, cords
and half cords at a time. If they could
guarantee $200 in GO days they could
now procure a large lot of wood to be
paid for in future. The mayor said it
was dangerous to permit the supply of
wood to run down, and the council
should make Banks & Mikuta a pre
ferred creditor to the extent of $200
in order to safeguard the property of
cil izens.
J. R. McGovern asked if Banks &
Mi kilt a were made preferred creditors
in this instance what would happen
when they want wood again. The pro
cess might be repeated, to the great
injustice of other creditors who need
food and other things as bad as Banks
& Howland reed wood. Mr. McGovern
said if tbe council kept dabbling in this
preferred - creditor business it is going
to get itself into a lot of trouble.
There was much discussion, with the
result that $200 dollars was promised
on or before August 1.
O'Farrel! Resigns
Frank P. O’Farrell tendered his
resignation as municipal clerk, magis
trate, chief of police and captain of tbe
fire department, to take effect June
13. Chairman Barnes was appointed)
magistrate without reference to salary. |
At the instance of Mr. McDonell it was
decided to advertise, in the Pioneer fori
applicants to succeed Mr. O'Furrell.
Minor Matters
Mr. McDonell of the street committee 1
reported that the absence of a piling]
under the corner of the city wharf'
renders the place dangerous, ( hair
man Bradley had notified Kddie Miller
and the latter had agreed to fix it. Mr.
Bradley was authorized to look after it.
Mr. Mutehler reported a bad hole j
on Otter street, where a load or two of j
slabs now would keep the street from!
soon becoming impassable. Mutehler i
and Barnes offered to haul the slabs i
gratis if they could be procured. The j
street' committee has authority to have :
such jobs done when the cost is less
than $100. Mr. Bradley pointed out i
that this authority was of no use with- j
out ability to procure material. Mr. j
Mutehler promised to see Mr. Thomas. I
of the mill, and try to get the slabs.
The bridge across the creek at Third j
street, which has been reconstructed j
by Mr. Bradley and others, needs a |
load or two of slabs to put it in pass ]
able condition. II K. Riley, the water j
man, has to cross the bridge in order or 1
serve people in territory east of Rlack
street. Mayor Karnes said if Ililey
would buy tlie slabs, he himself could
haul them and Mr. Headley could lay
thorn on- so the city would have a
necessary improvement without a cent,
of cost. The street committee wore to
see Ililey. _
