A herd of two hundred or more
reindeer belonging to the Lomen syn
dicate is expected to arrive on the out
skirts «»f the city from the Golovin
section within the next day or two.
Commeneinf soon after their arrival, a
large portion of the herd will be
slaughtered for shipment to the states,
where the market for reindeer is
reported continually growing, now that
the delectable qualities of the meat
are becoming better known. Just how
many of the deer will be killed is not
definitely determined as yet. Mem
bers of the syndicate say the number
slaughtered will be determined by the
number arriving, as Hie killing is done
on n form of percentage basis. The
|slaughtering will l»e done at the old
slaughter house on Dry Creek back of
town and is expected to occupy three

unusually large quantity of mail. It
addition the vessel also brought ;n

lowing the subsidence of the storm
the weather eonditons were excellent
'until the steamer arrived in Bering

Beyond disclosing that the commit
tee has every assurance that the re
quisite funds will he forthcoming when
needed, and that the War Dopartnfont
regulations require that all plans,
specifications, etc. with the accom
panying maps and other data, must l>e
submitted for departmental approval
before construction can bo commenced,
the adjourned meeting of the city
council -Monday evening develojbcd
practically nothing new In connection
with the proposed construction of a
municipal dock on the Snake Diver
Harbor basin. Chairman Mllot of the
council harbor committee reported
that the committee, consisting of'
councilman Seidenverg, chairman of
the Finance Committee, Councilman
Tarntzer. head of tho Street Commit
tee. and himself, recommended tho
adoption of the site between Bridge
Street ami the Dry Creek bridge, re
commended bv Major Sturdevant, the
War Department engineer and Also
re|*»rted that it would l»e necessary
for the city to acquire about 7f» feet
of the Afton Water mining claim, the
easterly end of which includes the area
crossed by tho bridge. It Is under
stood that the required P'trtion of the
mining claim will be given to the city
without cost.
Mr Mllot also informed the council
that investigation inclosed that the
construction must have the approval
|of the War Department and conform to
:certain specifications. He said it would
! be necessary to forward the plans to
the Department before active con
si nation measures could be Instituted
without risk of departmental disap
proval. The committee also dotermin
'■ii that no definite recommendations
can he made regarding the kind of
dock best suited for the purpose until
such time as the character of the ma
terial to he dredged from the river
ibottom is determined. If the dredging
material proves to bo gravel, an en
tirely different character of construc
tion can be adopted than will be the
''•.■.so is the dredged debris proves to bp
(nothing but soft mud. in View of
|those factors, the committee refrained
| from offering its views regarding the
type of construction best suited to tho
| purpose. Mr Milot stated that the
I War Department engineers in charge
of the jetty construction have agreed
] to assist the city with the plans and
work out the engineering details so
they will conform to departmental
ideas as soon as tlie dredging opera
tions reveal the charm-tor of the ma
terials in the river bottom.. The com
mittee also reported having investt
j gated ways and means for securing
the requisite funds and found that
[such money as will lie required can bo
|easily raised on Liberty Bonds loaned
I for the purpose by public spirited;
citizens as security for funds advanced
by the bank. Mr Milot said in ex
planation that the committee inter
I viewed J .J ('ole. head of the Miners
land Merchants Bank, and had found
him willing to advance 90 per cent of
the value of tho bonds deposited for
la period of two years, the loans made
nearing eight percent interest.
The committee figured that the city
can pay flip eight percent interest on
the small sum needed and also redeem
the bonds without difficulty before the
expiration of the two year period. Dis
easing the proposal informally, Mi*
Milot said the committee had secured
within an hour pledges for the loan
of almost $2,200 worth of bonds and is
confident that all the funds required
can he easily secured In this manner.
During the course of fusion the
council also grant*] the request of the
school board for an appropriation of
$2,000 to pay for the expenses Incurred
ir the reeent altera tioAs^md Improve
ments in the school heating plant. The
proposal of Hubert James to act as
city patrolman In connection with his
merchant patrol activities during the
fall and winter* period fpr a payment
of $60 per month, was again taken up
hut action was again deferred pending
further deliberation by the Police
Committee. Councilman TnrnUtzer,

. send of the Street Committee also re
. ported the intention of his committee
i to present an estimate of the cost ol
t city lighting during the dark periot
, at the succeeding meeting. Mr Tarnut
. zer also provoked a somewhat childish
* display of choler on the part of sev
I eral councilmen by stating that the
, street committee had little or nothing
to do until such time as the street
I contract controversy was settled. The
i remark precipitated a verbal tempest
i in which it was declared with cohsid
• erable vehemence-that the street coq
> tract is not in existence and by reason
I of its abrogation the dutjr of niaintnin
’ ing thos troets in proper condition rest*
' entirely on the street committee,
i Some of the remarks regarding the
street contract were of n decidedly
heated type. One or two of the coun
cilmen appeared to forget the dictates
of decorum to the degree that some
of their remarks regarding the street
contractor and Councilman Milot, who
is in his employ, were of an distinctly
unwarranted and abusive character.
Mayor Holt’s efforts to stop tho at
tacks failed to prevent some nasty
terms being used l»efore the unseemly
harangues came to an end.
