The Alaska!?* takes personal credit j
for the sudden cessation of the cold j
spell that held Skagway in its grip
for nearly a month. Saturday, the
very coldest day of the year, when
the temperature was IS degrees below
zero, the following advertisement was
inserted in The Alaskan:
WANTED ? A period of warm
weather with cloudless skies and no
raging winds. Anyone possessing
such a brand of weather please give
it to Skagway.
We were sanguine that results
would follow. They did. .Monday the
weather moderated and today the
temperature is nearly ."? ? degrees
warmer than it was Saturday. In
our ad we overlooked the possibility
of snow. Doubtless had w. mention
ed it no snow would have come.
Moral: Advertise in The Alaskan.
Results are certain.

On request of the school hoard the

talnance of the public schools during
?January. Of this amount $000 was
spent iu salaries and $100 for ince
den'.als.
.Mr. Snyder, chairman of the water
works committee, reported that the
mains were now In good condition,
with the exception of two breaks, one
at Sixth and Broadway and one at
Third and Broadway, and about 70
feet of frozen mains on Main street.
He said this would be thawed out as
quickly as possible. He said the
pressure was now above normal and
that the low pressure of last week
was caused by the presence of lee In
the mains. He dented that any slush
lice had entered the mains from the
reservoir. He added that more
i trouble might be experienced In case
of another spell of cold weather.
Chairman Taylor of the fire and
water committee reported the hose to
be in good order.
Sick Fisherman Aided.
Chairmau Clark of the health and
police committee reported that the
town had taken steps to relieve an
ill and destitute fisherman living on
the beach.
The city treasurer was not present,
but Clerk Doherty reported that there
was $1,490.94 in the treasury on Janu
ary 18.
The resolution authorizing Mayor
Shea to appoint Judge Winn to de
fend the city in the tax case against
the White Pass & Yukon railroad
came up for second reading and was
adopted* by a four 'o two vote.
Counciltnen Ashley an<J Taylor voted
against it.
The White Pass & Yukon railroad
presented a bill to the city for $182.75
for engines and Ipbor engaged in
thawing out the water mains. On the
| request of the mayor, Phil Snyder,
representing the Home Power com
pany, agreed to pay half of this. He
also said the Home Power company

the city rejected the bill. The coun
cil decided to pay half the amount.
"Could Thank the Almighty."
Chiff of the Fire Department Shea
J saiil that 2.". fires hutl bwen reported
I during the month, but tliat only two
alarms were turned in. The fire of
January S on Eighth street and of
January IS when the Masonic hall
burned, cost the eity $175 for fire
men's pay. He concluded his report
by saying that Skagway "could thank
the Almighty we were not all burned
out."
The bill presented by the White
Pass & Yukon railroad for $101.30 for
installing and repairing the city
water pump at their shops was laid
over after considerable argument.
Counciltnen Ashley and Taylor fav
ored paying the bill and Councilman
Nye and Snyder said they had no
doubts it was just. Mayor Shea
strenuously opposed the payment on
tin- grounds that it was illegal, as the
council had no knowledge of the clr
cumstances, the bill was not properly
O. K.'d and that the council had no
knowledge of the circumstances.
Bills aggregating $1,379. including
the $700 school appropriation, were
allowed.

A committee was appointed con
sisting of Messrs. Ashley, Snyder and
Taylor to draw up a resolution of coi
dolence to Mrs. McLellan because of
the death of her father. John Her
burger. The resolution was adopted
and spread on the minutes of the
council. It was as follows:
"Whereas the Grim Reaper Heath
hath gathered to Himself John Her
berger, father of our town treasurer.
Mrs. M. H. McLellan, and whereas
the community as a whole and the
council of Skagway in particular
wishes here and now to express its
sympathy with our treasurer at this
time of her sorrow and loss. He it
therefore resolved that the town coun
cil of SkaRwav extend its heartfelt
sympathy to Mrs. McLellan."
Mr. Snyder made a motion that the
council pay Mayor Shea for his work
in patrolling the town to prevent fir<4
The mayor declared the motion out
of order.
The meeting then adjourned.
