COUNCIL HOLDS
ROUTINE SESSION
As;<k- from ;i resolution to commence
publication of the list of delinquents on
the person.-il tax rolls of the munici
pality in this week's Nugget. prepara
tory to the confiscation of such pro
perties on which the taxes have no*
l)een paid, Monday night’s meeting of
the council developed little business
aside from the routine order The
only other matter of more than passing
■moment to occupy the attention of the !
«ity dad’s was a decision to investigate
the possibilities of finding relief from
the present property taxation difficul
ties by instituting a city poll tax. The
question was laid before the council
by Councilman Tarnutzer. In the sub
sequent discussion it was state*! that if
an annual poll tax of about ft.00 per
head were levied by the city, it would
he possible to reduce the present real
property assessments to about on*1
third of the present valuation. It. was
suggested that such a tax could be im
posed under the provisions of Section
€27 Compiled l^t-ws of Alaska, which
in general terms, provides that City
Councils -may impose an annual poll
tax on every male citizen between the
ages of 21 and 50.. After considerable
argument pro and con, the council, to
whom the tax question has long since
become a distinctly harassing sub
ject, decided to lay the question before
the voters by means of a referendum
at the forthcoming city election. On
motion of Tarnutzer .the Law and or
dinance Committee and City Attorney
were instructed to take the necessary
steps to hold a referendum vote to as
certain whether the public desired less
property taxes and a poll tax or to
leave matter* as they are. The motion
passed at the time but It was later de
cided to drop the- matter and the vex
ing question of what to do will, to all
appearances, be left for the next coun
cil to wrestle with.

SCHOONER OLGA HAD
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
The Nome trailing schooner Olga

the Victoria last fail, had a decidedly
hazardous experience before putting

port after a most thrilling experience
which lasted over ninety days, during
most of which time the crew was prac
tically out of provisions and subsisted
principally on dry fish and the meat ol
several live reindeer which wore book,
ed for the states, but were killed.
The schooner, with its crew of four
men h(id been engaged in trading along
the Siberian coast, left Nome on Oc
tober 22 for Seattle. The only stop
made was Unalaska, and since leaving
there the boat has been buffeted about
at sea by raging stoHmn. The engine
room soon became filled with water
and the pumps were kept going night
and day.
"An attempt was made to land at
Kodiak, but the Olga was blown out
to sea and unable to keep on its
course. At one time It was within 400
miles of Seattle and after a most thrill
ing experience today reached Cordova
“There are two cub Polar bears
aboard the boat.”

JUDGE REED WITHDRAWS
FROM LEGISLATIVE RACE
A message from Judge T. M. I teed
to A1 Nicholson Friday morning an
nounced that the wall known attorney
has changed his mind about becoming
a candidate for the vacant seat in the
territorial legislature and will not sub
mit his name to the voters at he forth
coming specinl election. His message
reads as follows.
Juneau, Als. Mch. 18, 1921
A! Nicholson, Nome.
“Thank you and others for wires.
Will not be a candidate for election
to the legislature at special election
on the 29th. Regards to all the boys.
T. M. IIBKD.
The withdrawal of Judge Reed
leaves only one candidate for the vac
ancy at present. This is Victor A.
Julien. who came very close to win
ning a place on the Second Division
legislative roster in the November
election. There are rumors of other
candidates appearing shortly but no
definite announcements have been
made. The distance to Juneau and the
resultant impassibility of reaching the
Capital in much less than thirty five
days is probably a strong deterrent to
local toga seekers.

NOME ENJOYS DELECTABLE SEA
As a result of a recent trip imn.de >r
Al Winkler to the handle section,
Nome during the past week has had
an opportunity to enjoy a txiste of ‘he
much praised fish known ;u» "Shee."
with much resultant gustatorial de
light to the individuals who appreciate
good exits. A! was asked by friends
to bring down a few of the delectable
fish and while he was .about i*. Iirought
a sled load. In tbe opinion of thoHo
who sampled it, the •‘Shee’* is as daintv
a sen food as con be found and fully
sustains the reputation given it by
Sourdough’s of the Kobuk and other
The fish are large, the average one
brought down by Mr. Winkler weigh
ing about R pgunds. although they are
said to sometimes attain a weight of
IS to 20 pounds anil are frequently
four feet or more in length. Old time
northerners claim they have been
taught up to five feet long in the Ko.

somewhat resemble pickrel. and the
flesh is white and flaky and somewhat
resembles halibut in appearance.
MUELLER IN LAND
OF SUNSHINE
“It is surely nice to be here*; not
having to shovel snow but instead
picking fruit and flowers,” is a portion
of a post card greeting received by the
Nugget from A. J. Mueller, the welt
known jewelryman on the last mall.
The message is dated Los Angeles,
January 25 and states that "A. J."
has been "having the time of his life"
since he arrived in the States after
20 years In the Northland.
“Have met many old Nomeites since
I came out,” he. says. "Since I have
been in Los Angeles have called on
ex governor Strong and wife, the
Zehner's, Louis Stadie and wife, and
R. K. Trengrove, and expect to meet
many other Alaskans before I hav<*
done visiting all the surrounding

may be assured that I won’* imlss any
thing worth seeing.”

health at the time of writing and sent
