WANTS KING
FOR CHINESE
AMERICAN LEGAL ADVISER TO
CHIN A’S GOVERNMENT IS
MONARCHIAL.
PEKIN, Aug. 17.—Professor Good
now of John Hopkins university, legal
adviser to the Chinese government,
has come out with a declaration in
favor of President Kai of the Chinese
republic proclaiming himself emperor.
Goodnow seems to think that the
change from a monarchial form of
government to that of a republican
has been too abrupt for a people who
had lived for so many centuries under
despotic rule. That there is a grow
ing sentiment in China in favor of tc
turniag to monarchial institutions is
a fact which has been brought i*t
more clearly during recent days and
to this fact is probably due the state
ment of the professor.
SI MUSE LOOKS WELL.
Nathan P. White, who came in from
Lynx creek yesterday on the car re
ports that the mines in the Sunrise
an^l Hope district are doing well this j
season. Gus Seifert is doing better
than expeeted but the Mathison boys
are not taking out as much gold this
season as they have done in former j
years. The Mathisons have started
work on the digging of a channel from j
Resurrection creek to their property, j
so that next year they will not be
hampered with the lack of water a.s
all the mines over there have been
this season. They brought in a steam
shovel this spring especially for the
building of this channel and Mr.
White thinks that they will have
enough water next season to sell to
adjoining claims over and above what
they can use themselves.
All the creeks have been very high
because of the rain the last few days.
The gardens have been doing excep
tionally well this summer.
CAR RIMS OVER AND
KILLS MANY RABBITS.
Percy Pullen reported that during
the last part of the week the water
had been very high all along the
tracks because of the heavy rain.
Resurrection river was very high the
water running over the benches of the
trestle. He said that along the track
around Snow river the water was so
high that it formed a swamp over the
whole territory. The rabbits in order
to keep from drowning came up on
the track, and as the car passevl a’ong
400 or 500 rabbits ran ahead '« r
quite a distance. The car overtook
many and killed them. He thinks
that the high water out there will kill
off nearly all the rabbits.
The water was on the floor of the
road house at Mile 20 and 34 for
several days last week.
MAN CHARGED WITH Ml RDER
WORKED FOR JAMES FAMILY.
Julius Miller, the man who is under
arrest at Fairbanks for the murder of
Mrs. Rowe, of Olnes, was employed
as a cook by Bennett James and the
other members of his family on Gold
stream some years ago when the
James firm was operating the famous
claim known as No. 17. Before that
time Miller worked as a cook on the
Tanana Mines railway and has been
well known in that district. Accord
ing to the latest news from Fairbanks
blood was found on the clothing of
Miller and he is unable to account for
himself on the night of the murder.

SOME MORE SPATS AT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
Chamberlin Throws Another Gas
Bomb that Almost Asphyxiates
Other Members With Rage.
In writing about the city council it
is terribly hard to be serious. With
out wishing in the least to say any
thing offensively flippant, one finds it
almost impossible to speak seriously
of the actions of that body. With
this introductory' excuse in anticipa
tion let us proceed to tell what hap
pened last night in a few' short words
without levity.
Mr. Chamberlin presented a com
munication protesting against the
latest scheme for improving the
school building. This communication
is printed elsewhere verbatim so that
all the people may see it for them
selves. Councilman Daggett, from
the chair, the mayor being absent,
with offended dignity accused Chamb
erlin of impugning the motives of the
council or officials or something. He
and Councilman Borgen, indeed, got
hot again with that infernal Chamb
erlin. It was suggested that the com
munication be tabled and C hamberlin
be squelched but Mr. Borgen evident
ly misunderstood the cue and moved
that the communication be filed. Mr.
Borgen then delivered an address dur
ing which he suggested that the men
who do not pay direct taxes should
keep their mouths shut. They are
doing all the agitating, he said, and
they have n« children, nor nawthin.
This is still quite serious in spite of
an ominous feeling that the risible
faculties cannot be restrained. The
stormy petrel, Chamberlin, follow*ed
by declaring that the whole thing
about schools was a “schoolboy
proposition” and he went on to sug
gest that one or two members of the
council are trying to be bosses and to
create dissension at every possible
chance. He even spoke of being rid
den over by the inner coil of the gov
erning circle. Curtis Morford of the
school board was asked for an opinion
and. somehow, his views seemed to
bear out what Mr. Chamberlin said.
At least, he stated that his recom
mendation had been turned down and
that it was probably too late now to
offer others or the same. He
thought the plans presented by Archi
tect Kingsley and accepted, but later
abandoned, were superior to the ones
afterwards accepted from Architect
Winstedt. Mr. Morford went on to
state his opinion that his idea of
bringing down the old building was
still the best one. It saved money
and would permit school to be open
on time. Indeed the member of the
board seemed to be entirely at vari
ance with the obstinate ones of the
council whose actions are usually
dictated by the fact that someone
they dislike has suggested something
else. After listening to Mr. Morford
Councilman Youngs said it “seemed
to be a makeshift” whatever plans
were adopted. The bids for the w’ork
according to the Winstedt plans are
to be received this evening when the
council meets again. The water
franchise was passed, and then came
an ordinance providing against juries
in misdemeanors in the municipal
court City Attorney Coppemoll said
something about Seward being the
only city that had such a regulation.
The fire protection ordinance passed
its first reading. Finis.
