As a result of the man-hunt that took place last week to locate
the traveler who was lost on his way from Dikeruui, a bill of $188 60
lias been turned in to the council of this city. The city fathers find
that they have no authority whatever to pay such a bill and therefore
it is up to the citizens to subscribe that amount by popular subscrip
tion.
When the news came in from the creeks urging the immediate
necessity of sending men into the hills, and asking the co-operation of
Iditarod in the work of saving human life, the response was instantan
eous. One or two of the councilmen, realizing the urgency of the case,
gave directions to the chief of police to get men out at once. This was
done and a search of three days was kept up. These men felt that if
the council could not properly pay the bills, the city would support
them in their action.
The bills came up before the council Wednesday night and were
rejected on the advice of the city attorney, who stated that the city had
no authority whatever to pay them. The council then voted to ask the
citizens to come forward to make the amounts good, each member
agreeing to subscribe.
The money is owing to H. Renaud, Gus Boulenger, G. Vallee. Joe
Latcurneau, the Pioneer Stables and Mead Maynard.
A subscription list will be sent around and every one is urged to
contribute his little mite toward a cause that could not and should not
be avoided.

A unique proposition was put before
the city council last Wednesday night,
when Chas. J. Young, formerly of
Whitehorse and Dawson, appeared in
the council chamber enl asked that
the city dads guarantee the sale of his
bricks by passing an ordinance that
houses in the tire limits be equipped
with brick chimneys.
If such an ordinance were passed.
Young would immediately get on the
job and make the bricks, because he
would be sure of a market for them.
He said that he had made bricks at
Whitehorse and they had proven satis
factory, but after the town burned
down they all returned to the safeties.
He said it would cost a-plenty to set up
a kiln of 100,000 bricks and he wanted
to be sure where he was before start
ing in.
The council looked the matter in the
teeth and decided that they did not
feel like rebuilding the town just at
present. Mr. Young retired witli
many thanks.

Declare Dr. Zuckerman Insane
After spending a year in the country •
during which time site has lived on
private charity and incidentally driven '
her benefactors frantic with Iter divers ;
peculiarities, Dr. Zuckerman, who 1
claimed to be a Red Cross nurse, was
yesterday found insane by a commis
sion of six men and ordered committed
to the Mt. Tabor insane asylum.
The unfoitanate woman passed
through a similar experience in Fair
banks, except that site escaped the1
clutches of the law. Her twisted men-;
tality has always taken the cunning
turn that if she claimed to be a nurse, '
no one could refuse her anything, and
she has evidently lived on that theory ;
for several years.

Id! t a rod Banks Withdraw/
From Flat This Evening
_ :
I
Finding that the business gained does not warrant the unusual
expense of maintaing two institutions, both the Miners and Mer
chants Bank and the American Bank of Alaska, of this city, have,
made arrangements to close the branch offices at Fiat city, and
will close their doors at that point with the end of banking hours
today.
The offices were opened at Flat with the idea of accommodat
ing bank patrons, as far as might be possible without establishing
branch banks. They were also opened as depots for the reception
of gold dust to be paid for at the main banks.
On account of the vexations and delays that have arisen,
accompanied by the danger and expense of trying to keep those
offices supplied with money, the parent institutions cannot figure
their Flat offices as anything but a heavy expense without ad
ditional revenue and they have therefore decided to cut them out. ;
