ANNUAL. TAJ ASSESSMENT
PERIOD AT HAND
Municipal Tax Assessor E. E
Qrimm Is devoting the present tira«
distributing Tax Assessment Blanks j
to the merchants and other proper
ty owners. The schedule covers
both real and personal property
and the individual has an opportun
ity to make his or her own assess* j
ment, subject to revision by the (
Board of Equalisation.
The initial date of delivery of th
blanks is Nov. 10th and if volun
tary returns are not in the hands
of the Assessor by Nov. 15th, he i>
authorised by ordinance to make
an arbitrary assessment, using his
own judgment in the matter.
Payment of taxes Is a duty de
volving upon each and every citizen
and misstatements or evasions are
not only evidences of bad citizen
ship but constitute a misdemeanor
As the city is now obligated to
the government to pay $2,500
yearly toward the Snake River har
bor dredging. Nome will have to
raise this additional aqaount to
meet its municipal requirements.
FIRST WINTER MAIL
TRIP NORTH CONCLUDED
Joe DeRosle, the Teller mail car
rier left Nome Nov. 1st with about
120 pounds of mall for the north
and returned to Nome Nov. 9th,
parrying about 25 pounds of mail
and one passenger, Mr. P. Miller.
On the trip north his dog team
had hard pulling as there was no
enow until Cape Wolley was reach
ed, four days were required to make
the trip to Teller. On the return
trip more snow was encountered
and traveling was easier. The la
goons were overflowed and It was
necessary to take to the foot hills,
■but even so the return was made
in three days. From Sinrock down
the trail was in fine condition and
no doubt by this time the new snow
has placed the entire length of
trail in eacellent sledding condition.
Mr. DeRosie states that dog feed
in the Teller district s peluk,^ or
nearly so while at Wooley there is
absolutely none to be had. Also
food tof human brings is very
scarce and those who leave Nome
for the north should take the pre
caution to supply themselves >vith
the necessary food, otherwise they
are likely to go hungry.

belt breaks at
CITY POWKK PLANT
Last Monday at the Electric
•Poweif Plant the large belt connect*
ing the LaVerne engine with the
! electric generator broke, throwing
the city into darkness and placing
all motors out of commission.
The power 1 house crew, under
Charles Jennsen, at once started
Are under the bolTers in the steam
plant i nan attempt to supply the
community with light end power,
but difficulty arose here too and
j consequently electricity was sup
plied only by spells.
The plant is supplied with both
steam and gas engines. The gas
engine is the one constantly in use,
the steam being retained merely as j
an emergency. As the gas engine |
Is most reliable and seldom requires I
repairs or attention the other units
have been unused for many months
and as is the case with unused ma
chinery, parts become set and when
first started up many times fail to
respond. In this instance the
smaller of the two auxiliary units
burned out a hearing throwing It
out o {commission, and leaving hut
one unit remaining to supply the
demands of the city. Prom Tues
day until Friday this generator run
be stehm whs the only available
source of power and consequently
lights and motors were in commis
sion intarmittsnUjr.
The broken belt is an 18 inch
endless leather belt and when it
parted tore itself to pieces to such
an extent that ten feet of leather j
had to be cut off and replaced.
Belt mending or repairing is an
art in itself and requires more than
ordinary skill, however. Mr. Jann
sen proved equal to the emergency.
The town wa» scoured for leather
and cement to repair the damage
and by taking odds and ends the
large leather belt was finally com
pleted and the gas engine is now
humming her former tune, supply
ing all the power that is necessary
to keep the community supplied.
The cause of the belt breaking is
accredited to the unusual strain
placed upon the machine during
(he summer when the dredge on
Snake river was running. As local
users of power realised during the'
summer the dredge would alter-!
nate with power on and off, reeult-j
ing in unusual strains upon lights
and motors at the power plant.
When the peak load wae reached
and exceeded by the dredge and
then thrown to aero, the generator
would alow op while the engine
was running full speed. This
caused the belt to slide over the
generator pully with the genera
tion of heat which finally burned
out the belt and caused It to break.

Dob Omsk will leave with the
mail for Taylor and t^ay points

With regard to the time the first
