THE PRICE OF NEWSPAPERS
•’he Cordova Times intimates that
t may have to raise its subscription
i Price. The Anchorage Times and the
Seward (intowny recently raised their
rates. In doing this they are doing
only what the papers of the large
cities have been forced to do. Before
the war the Seattle Times delivered
the paper for 50 cents a month or $5
a year. At that time, on account of
their greater proportional expense and
smaller editions, the Alaska papers
we e charging $1 a month or $10 a
year. Now the Seattle Times is sold
for $1.50 a month or $18 a year. The
proportional expense and smaller edi
tions still operate against the Alaska
papers as they did before the war.
Most of the metropolitan papers have
Increased their subscription rates from
100 to 300 or 400 per cent. The Alas
ka papers which have raised at all
have done so only 25 per cent.—Ju

COUNCIL NAME8
ELECTION BOARD
With nil member* present In their
accustomed places and with a few
spectators on hand to witness the pro
ceedings. the city council at Monday
nights meeting transacted nn unusual !
volume of business, including tha up-I
pointment of the election board which
will preside over the forthcoming
municipal and school elections. The
council also took an active hand In
the suppression of immorality among
the Eskimo by authorizing the ap
pointment of wha*. may be termed a
I native ‘morality squad,’* composed of
(throe native mule*, who wil* ke *p
iwatch and ward over the aboriginal
[virtue and help in the suppression of
I illicit r« lations between the Eskimo
land celt'in white dements o! loose
[moral propensities.
1 The council found so much business
| to do ihot the session lasted until close
to 11 ;» ,n. Under the head of oom
' mu nice ..in* the c!:* •. read rn offer
from v llaldwio »o purchase a shack
tin the east-end for fire wood. The
tschool board wanted $400 placed In
the school fund by the city to make
up a total of $1,000 and a check for
that amount drawn In the Board’s
favor to meet school expenses.
The reports of the city clerk and
cit\ treasurer for February were read,
disclosing something around $6,800 in
the city strong box. Councilman Tar
nut/.er of the Street Committee report
ed the work of his committee on the
public thoroughfares, stated the fire
department was doing excellent work
in keeping the streets open for traffic
and that the expense of maintenance
outside of the fire department opera
tions liad amounted to only $20 since
the old street contract was dispensed
1’ursiiant to the decision of the
council at the last meting to restore
the assessment date to November 10th
Councilman Cavey introduced an or
dinance amending the present assess
ment law in conformity thereto and
making all other dates correspond to
( ouncllman Tarnutzer imported that
the committee on lumber purchase had
wired to Seattle lumber firms for
prices on lumber to be delivered on
opening of navigation, but had receiv
ed no replies. The committee was
granted more time in which to report.
Councilman Maynard of the clock
j purchase committee told the council
that arangements were under way
whereby the matter of raising funds
to purchase the Segrerstrom and Hagen
clock would be undertaken by the
pupils and teaching staff of the public,
school. The school will give an enter
tainment in the near future which will
probably not enough or nearly enough
to buy the clock. When the purchase
j is effected the time piece will be turn
ed over to the city as a gift from the
school children.
Mills, including the City pay roll
for the preceding month were then
read and ordered paid under a sus
pension of the rules.
Superintendent Dyfed Evans of the
Bureau of Education addressed the
council regarding tho widespread im
morality among the natives. Mr Evani
said in substance that a large part of
the unsavory conditions are due to
the influence of a certain white ele
ment which brought liquor among the
natives and was chiefly responsible
for wide spread prostitution among
the native females. Mr Evans inti
mated that the pernicious influence of
these degenerate whites was respon
sible for the breaking up of native
families and much moral delinquency
and informed the council that matters
have reached such a state that the na
tives have formed a council in tho
hope of bettering conditions by co-op
eration with the common council and
hoped to secure the consent of the city
dad's to a proposal to appoint several
[native policemen. Mr Evans described
the immorality among tne native wo
men resutling from the debauching In
fluence of the whites as truly appal
ing: and also told the council that the
identity of many white nnen who have
been guilty of illicit relations with na
tive females is well established and
their names are known to him as well
as to the natives.
He was followed by Earnest Ezerok.;
a native, who confirmed the statements j
of Mr Evans and said the natives had i
organized a form of tribal council to'
improve the welfare of his people.
The native council had elected him Its
representative to look after the task of
clearing up the moral atmosphere and
thought the first step toward attain
ing the desired object was to see the
city council and secure permission or
auhority to act. Like Mr Evans.
Eserok described the conditions as de
plorable. but said he believed the ap
pointment of natives to act as special
policemen among the Eskimo would
have a good effect in preventing a
continuance In the future. After
some discussion the council concurred
in the plan and granted permission to
Ezcrok and two other natives, Charley j
Crowley and Richard Kongnok. all [
three of whom are of unusual Intelli- j
gencc as compared to the average na- ,
live, to act as special police officers, ‘
without pay. and their authority re- j
stricted to maintaining pence amorn: i
the Eskimo residing in Nome.
After thus applying the moral sa- j
polio to the situation, the council re
turned to the more prosolc business |
of adjusting a complaint against the ]
taxes imposed on the schooner Sea
Wolf. Councilman Tarnutxer moved i
that a rebate of $20 be allowed on a
tax of 980 imposed by the assessor and
after some deliberation and objection
by Councilman Peterson, who wanted
to stand pat on the original assess
ment. it was so ordered.
The council then proceeded to the
task of selecting the officials for the,
municipal election Aprl! 6. The fe- '
suits were as follows.
Election Board: W. H. Koch. In-1
spector; Ivan Scheike. Chos Watson.
Judges: John Hancock anti C C Crooks,
This business concluded, Mayor
Holt appointed the council a commit
tee of the whole, with the city clerk
thrown In for good measure to invos
11 gate the delinquent tax rail of real
and personal property and report its
findings at he n«*t meeting. The coun
cil then adjourned.
