Council Will Build
Permanent Quarters
Finding the present arrangements for the accommodation of the
city officials inconvenient, and the quarters lor the fire department in
adequate, it lias been decided that Iditarod needs municipal offices of
its own.
With that end in view Tom Walkinshaw has been commissioned
by the council to draw plans and specifications for a two story building
to be erected on First street, in place ot the building now used by the
fire department. The plans and specifications will be passed upon by
Counctlmen McDonell and Anderson, assisted by Councilman Barnes.
The erection of the building is to be proceeded with at once, and
although the total cost of the new hall is not definitely known, it is
expected to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,500.
The site of the hall was originally part of the] N. C. Co. water
' front property, but was handed over for the use of the city when the
fire-hall was moved from its original location on \\ illovv.

Fix Regulations tor
Future City Elections
At the regular meeting of the city
council last Wednesday an ordinance
was introduced regulating the conduct j
of future elections in this metropolis.
Among other things it was decided
that regular elections should take
place on the first Tuesday in April of
each year, the qualifications for voters
are set forth, and regulations govern
ing elections are formulated.
Although it is a most entertaining
document, space forbids us giving the
text of the ordinance in full; but those
who think they will be here next April
are invited to step up to the clerk’s
office and acquaint themselves with its
details. _

Dikeman Xclitarod
Secretary to Governor
Demands Five Dollars
While Uncle Satn may be slow in
paying, he is a pretty smart collector,
anti does not allow any accounts which
lie may have against individuals or
corporations to accumulate.
This lias been exemplified in the
case of lditarod city.
Scarcely had the city time to estab
lish an overdrawn bank account than
up comes a letter from Secretary-to
the Governor Llistin politely pointing
out that the sum of $5 due to the gov
ernor's office for filing the letters of
incorporation had not been forwarded.
The matter may have been over
looked by the city authorities, or the
necessity for promptness not realized;
hence Mr. Distin's letter.
The till was empty when the secre
tary's communication arrived, but
rather than let the governor worry
about the non-arrival of the Five, the
city attorney advanced the amount.
It’s a great pity the council couldn't
have paid by one of those warrants—
it's so much easier.
Charles D. Garfield and Jack Hil
liard, of the United States customs ser
vice, after spending a week in lditarod
on their annual tour of inspection, left

and in'erior points.

CARRIES THE BEST BRANDS
MILLER &JERMAX, PROPS.
After a lapse of six weeks the new j
Miner’s Home saloon has arisen from
the ashes of its predecessor brighter,

was a large crowd at the opening on
Wednesday night last and full justice
was done to the excellent wines,
liquors and cigars to be had on the
premises. Mayor Miller certainly has
a fine place, and the next lime you
take a walk down Willow just drop in
and try some of that Quaker Maid
whiskey._

Elopement Starts Feud
In State of Alabama
Birmingham, Ala., July JO.—With
the killing of Leslie Linn at Sayre by
his father-in-law, Alec Brewis, it is
feared one of the most serious feuds
ever engendered in the mountains of
Alabama has been precipitated.
Four families, including about 20
men, are involved.
Two years ago Linn won Brewis'
daughter against the father’s protests
and they finally eloped. Recently the
daughter went home, saying Linn had
mistreated her. Alec Brewis, accom
panied by his son, John Brewis, went
to Linn's home and the tragedy re
sulted. The Brewises are in jail. Both
sides arc arming and further trouble is
expected.
