The present Nome Common Coun- ]

tenure April 17 and give way to its ;
successors of the ISth. Common Coun- (
t il. The council met Monday even- j
ing with all members present with the i
exception of Councilmen Huff and ■
l.es her. The business of the meet- ;
ing was largely of a routine character (
but varied by the official canvassing ,
of the vote of the recent election and
the passage of an ordinance changing ■
the time of levying tax assessments (
from November to September 1st.

by the Mayor and City Clerk, The

Nome, within a brief season, may
enjoy the sight of a number of real
veterans of the great war, if an article
printed in a recent San Francisco pap
, r is founded in truth. And not only
may the residents of our isolated burg
enjoy seeing these heroic survivors of
• bloody combats on the. far away hills
and dales of France, but they may also
have the pleasure of having them for

fare—the Frisco publication is telling
facts. Some of us already know at
least some of the war veterans whoso
return is thus forecasted and it is a
certainty that those who do not will
l>e glad to make their acquaintance.
Who are they? Well, we are not ex
actly sure as their names are not giv
en in the article mentioned. Howev
er. to prevent curiosity deranging
your system, we will inform you that
they are the famous “War Dogs of
Nome", whose fame has gone forth to
the four corners of the earth and
whoso exploits have provided mater
ial for many an article in the world's
press. Now you know them! Ac
cording to the Frisco paper, which
quotes a Miss Helen Dean, Pacific
Coast representative of the Blue Cross
Society, which, as everyone knows, Is
the animal Bed Cross society, the
dogs will be returned to their homes
when the peace pacts are signed and
the battle flags furled. Miss Dean as
sorts that she has received numerous
inquiries regarding what disposal is
to he made of the ten thousand or
mo''o dogs used by the Allies and av
ers that in almost all cases the dogs
were lent to the French government
by their owners for the duration of
the war, and they wll be returned to!
their homes when they are no longer!
needed. The Nome dogs were not
loaned to the French government, of
course, each of them being paid for in
good coin of the V. S. A. at the rate
of about $.5 per, but Miss Dean spec
ifically mentions that the dogs of the
famous Darling team who have sur
vived the war will be returned to
Nome, from whence they were taken
during the second year of the great
conflict by lieutenant Bene Hass. If
this be so. vve are due. as we said at
the beginning, to see some sure en
ough war heroes and also have the
pleasure of keeping them in our midst.
But then—maybe the lady was “just
talking".
