BRILLIANT DEBATE
AT CITY COUNCIL
Local Statesmen Indulge in Eloquent
Periods Over the Wharf
Question.
The city council held a meeting last
i Monday evening which will probably
go down in history for several
I reasons. Tho chief subject for dis
cussion was connected with the ap
plication for the opening of First
avenue at the approach to the propos
ed wharf to be built by Derick Lane
| and his associates. City Attorney
Coppcrnoll stated that the application
j for the opening of the street had not
been presented in the proper way, and j
no petition had been presented by the
1 property holders, but Judge J. J. Fin
j negan, attorney for Mr. Lane and th»
! others showed the city attorney that
no such petition was necessary
“When a man gets up in this council
and says the city could not have the
street opened it is nonsense,” said Mr.
Finnegan. Mr. Coppernoll countered
by declaring that the specifications
presented by Messrs. Lane ar d Comp
any where misleading but Mr. Fin
negan got back by declaring that the
I city attorney had stated previously
that ho knew nothing about such
matters. Another striking phrase
uttered by Judge Finnegan was that
“the men opposed to the proposed
J wharf haven’t the “guts” to come ouf
j openly and attack it.” In the legal
| phase of the question Finnegan clear
] ly had the advantage, but then came
| Couneilmen Borgen into the discus
j sion and the debate assumed an
! erudite aspect. The last named spoke
! about “egress” into the city or bay or
! something and he became terribly
!! fluent. He waxed still more eloquent
> when Couneilmen Youngs brought up
M a matter connected with printing.
>| Mr. Youngs stated that he had gone
jj to the city clerk to ask a question to
jj find out how much money the city rad
[ squandered in printing in their paper
j! and the next thing he saw was the
[ account of the fact in the organ.
[ “There must be some underground
|| wires,” said Mr. Youngs. Some of
\ the members of the council interrupt
f j
; ed him continuously during his re
[
> marks and the chair never made a
j move to let his colleague be heard.
J i Mayor Myers was not present. It
I! was then that Alderman Borgen
j broke forth in all his subtlety. He
directed his remarks, needless to say,
at the Gateway although the poor
j Gateway was not the subject, and he
J declared barefacedly that the Gate
j way had cal loti him a foreigner. His
J! subtlety at last became so pronounced
> that it is difficult to reproduce his
!! speech and it is probably lost to'
5 posterity. He also said something
) about giving away an electric light
franchise and when Judge Finnegan
from the hall, reminded him that he*
had not voted against the franchise
the alderman seemed to lose control
of his eloquence. In Mr. Youngs re
marks appeared the sentence:
“charity printing institution,” and a
few others. “If you have money to
waste,” said he, “give it to the work
ingman for work to improve the city.”

NEWS NOTES
Mrs. Phil Hickey has undergone
the operation for which she went out
side and she is progressing very
favorably. Mr. Hickey received the
announcement of her convalescence in
the last mail. The operation was un
dergone in California.
Dr. I. Knickerbocker, fromerly a
prominent dentist of Nome, came to
reward on the Alameda with Mrs.
Knickerbocker. He was here last
summer and will probably decide to
reside in this part of the territory.
W. J. Carpenter writes the Gate
way from Watthill, Nebraska, that
he will come back to Seward on one
of the first spring boats. He lived
here in 1U05 and 11)06 and saw the
first rails laid on the Alaska Central
railroad.
Mrs. Dehnc has returned to Seward
and made the departure of the Dora
look like old times today when she j
stood on the dock to say “farewell” to
Mr. Dehne.
Ben Labaree writes from Spokane'
that the preliminary work of estab
lishing a hotel here is proceeding all
right. He will leave for Seward
about the first of April. He mentions
incidentally the fact that an immense
number of people are talking of com
ing to Seward.
Miss Alice Alexander and Paul
Heath went out on the Alameda and
Dame Humor has been busy with the
suggestion that Miss Alexander will
change her name to Heath and that a
Mr. and Mrs. Heath will reside in
future at Spokane.
Rev. Mr. Molony has received word
of the promotion of his nephew from
the ranks to a lieutenancy in an Irish
regiment in France. The nephew is
an elder brother of Captain Herbert
Tozier who was wounded at the Dar
danelles. He joined the army when
the war broke out and his promotion
was rapid.
After all the trouble in finding a j
suitable piano the Pioneers’ commit-!
tee, composed of Messrs. Fat Hewitt
and Bill Small, found their new in
strument to have musical qualities of
the tin can variety and for a time des
pair seized their hearts until it was
discovered that the blamed thing
could be tuned up. The operation has
been successfully performed.

A 'Strenuous
Objection—
If your coal dealer de
livered only three-quar
ters of a ton of coal ^
and charged you for a
full ton, you would ob
ject—and refuse to pay ,
the bill. The same
principle applies in
the fuel consumption
of a heater—why use a
heater that wastes one
quarter of your
fuel ?
Great western OaK
consumes all carbon and. ^ases-none es
capes up chimney. Scientific flue system
discharges heated air through slotted open
ings ri?ht over fire-, and through mica door
you can clearly see the shooting flames —
representing the burning ^ases. In actual
use, you can feel "the increased heat ■ - ■
and decreased amount of coal used Be
convinced by an inspection.
