CITY MAP
Believing the mere existence of a
street a vexatious and obsolete!
t'orm of intercommunication be
tween the difierent parts of lditarod j
City, several enterprising citizens!
piocteded Thursday night to close!
Willow street against the encroach
ments of cheecbaco lot jumpers j
To do this they jumped it them-!
■ -Ives.
Scarcely had the sun. sank his;
bashful head behind the hills at it j
p. m than a small, decrepid tent t
ippeared in the middle of Willow !
street, adjoining Joe Green’s place, j
opposite the Vienna Cafe and di j
reclly across the roadway.
A1 Hicks and Ernest Niehoffi
thought they saw a chance for aj
good location. Just after that Juhn j
King decided that the remaining]
space wasn’t wide enough for aj
oadway anyhow, so he jumped I
he remaining portion of 30 feet, !
closing Willow as effectually as one
of these new fangled rubber stop j
pers.
The comment 011 this business is j
obvious, and it's a shame to have]
to say it.
Lot jumping may be all right un
der certain circumstances, but when
j it becomes chronic the public must
administer a sedative and place the
foolish victims on the operating]
table. Their greed should then Lei
removed, however painful the op- j
eration.
Tht government officials treated j
the matter calmly, knowing they;
would be backed up by public sen I
timent. It streets are useless for j
any purpose except as resident
sites then let us get together—there
are several streets suitable for a
town ball where the citizens can
meet on common ground.
A. J. Daly, the well known Nome at
torney, is contemplating atrip to Nome |

RAMUS GOING
TO OLD HOME
Lawrence Ramus, formerly of the
Hot Springs mining district, the
discoverer of gold on Flat creek,
was a visitor in town last Sunday
and Monday.
Mr. Ramus came to this district
last summer accompanied by his
partner, Thomas Maber, in a small
boat, uud after looking over the
creeks for a time decided to sink on
what is now known as Flat creek.
On the 5th day of last November,
on Judge Swartz' ground—No. 5-b
Glenn group—lie got 25 cent pans
at * depth of 7‘d feet.
He is now interested in a piece
of ground of roo acres 011 Flat and
Otter creeks, his pu it tiers bung
Thomas Maher, lid ward Britt, Jas.
Muckier and Charles Craig.
Lawrence will leave in a few
weeks on a long-deferred visit to
his old home in the state ot Ohio,
but intends to re’urn in the winter
or early spring to get busy on his
holdings.
MABEFffiST
PAYMENT
James Orr and William McLeod
were in town last week attending
to the difficult proposition of ac
cepting the first payment on the
Manley & Price option on the Ma
rietta association. July 15th mark
ed the day specified in -the afore
said option for the transfer of £15,
000 and the fact that the money
was forthcoming is proof positive
that the buyers have ample faith in
Flat creek.
Frank Stevens, Geo Shirley and
Hans Olson are also on the receiv
ing side of the line, and although
the price is right they are not so
i sure at this day that it was a good
sale.
j The option in question entails
| the expenditure of another $15,000
in September with a final payment
: of $45,000 on or before the ist ol
'October, 1911. This $75 ,000 op- |
| lion is trerged in a $25,000 privi
lege to purchase secured by Jack
1 Price in May, making a total ol
| $100,000 for the Marietta, a half oi
; the Aylrneu fraction adjoining, and
1 a half of the Red Boy gioup on In
; dian Gulch
It is one of the biggest deals ol
the year and involves what is con
■ sidered the richest ground on Flat.

NEAR RIVERSIDE HOTEL
FEW AT
MEETING
Last Tuesday night a few -and vary
tew—interested citizens gathered at
Frank Miller’.s'place at the call of the
town trustees to discuss the quaation
of fire protection for the city. There
were not enough of them there to start;
an argument, so they talked awhile
about the weather and the stage of the
water in the river. Then they went
home.
Before departing they registered a
small vow among themselves that they
would foregather at the same place
next Tuesday night, each man agree
ing to try to induce aomeoue to come
with him.
The lack of interest in the matter of
fire protection was commented upon at
the time. It was freely predicted that
nothing would be done toward organiz
ing a volunteer fire brigade until a dis
astrous lire has wiped some carelesa
person off the map.
This is probably true. It always has
been and always will. Back in the
dear dead days, Socrates, Ijvdia Pink
ham or some other of those old-timer*
propounded a lot of truthful sayings
about your never missing the water
till the well runs dry; when it rains
you cau’t fix the roof and when it
doesn't you don't have to—none so
blind as a bull pup with t cold in the
head.
These all point the moral of the ages
that its no use having % fire depart
ment until there's a fire to put out.
However, it might be well to organ
ize a bucket brigade next Tuesday
night for sprinkling the streets occa
sionally, and many citizens are expect
ed to attend.
