vate heating plants, the city counci
decided at Monday night's session t(
accept the ofTer made by the Wilt
<5ooso heating plant to furnish heal
for the municipal buildings at a menr

In response to a. telegram to the
governor requesting information re
garding tin- distribution of the T* rri
rial Influenza relief appropriation,
made by the last legislature for iho
reimbursement of those who assisted
in the rare and relief of the numerous
stricken people of this district during
the epidemic last winter, Mayor I loll
has received an answer stating that
the accounts sent to the governor’s
office are being audited and that .ar
rangements will lie made either to
send the money due local merchants
b.v wire or deposit it to their credit in
Juneau.
Following the failure of congress to
grant the influenza relief appropria
tion embraced in the Sundry Civil hill.
Mayor Holt wired the governor to the
effect that local merchants are greatly
in need of the money in order to pur
chase new stocks to replace the large
amount of goods advanced to tin* re
lief committee during the epidemic.
In his reply the governor states that
the. accounts of the merchants have
l>een found in good shape as a rule,
but avers that the other vouchers (for
labor and other items) are in a bad
mess, thereby lending the Inference
that they will probably not be straigh
tened out until after the merchants
accounts are settled.
Mayor Holt is contemplating a re.
quest to forward all the money due
hero by wire in order that the local
business men may be reimbursed at
the earliest moment.

Work on the harbor construction Is
proceeding steadily and the outline of
the east rev« tment and jetty is com
mencing to appear an a result of the
labors of the past week. The War
Department crew is at present extend
ing the piling for the east Jetty across
Snake river and will have the entrance
to the river mouth completely bridged
within a day or two. Contractor's
Ames and Guinan have extended the
piling for the east revetment from
River street to the end of the govern
ment construction and are at present
engaged on a wing which, will run
eastward along the bench from the
jetty end to protect the revetment from
the surf during severe storms.With the
completion of the pile driving work
the revetments will he completed by
driving sheet piling at a sharp angle
along both sides of the vertical piling
now being driven, making a V shaped
structure of great strength which will
ultimately extend along Imth sides of
the river channel.
That Nome is doing a thriving bus
iness in the foreign export lino this
year is indicated in the statement of
a well knou’n shipping man that the
aggregate value of the goods shipped
or contracted for shipment to Siberia
up to the present is in the vicinity of
fifty thousand dollars. The Karieff
brothers have been the principal ship
pers and many thousand dollars worth
of merchandise, most of which was
shipped in from the states on the first
fleet, has rid will be taken later in
the season to their several trading
stations on the farther coast. In
addition, tin- Nokatak, Alaska, Belinda
and Jewel Guard, all of which are on
the Siberian coast at present, have
each carried cargoes of merchandise
running well into the thousands to bo
disposed of to the Siberians. The
stores and fuel carried by these ves
sels also represents a considerable fig
ure from which Name derives a por
tion. It is stulid that fifty thousand
dollars is a conservative estimate of
the expert values up t > t'.. present
[and the grand total at tin- end of the
season will probably reach close to
