It is stated that R. S. Dimmick
will open up a motion picture
Theater in Dime creek this summer,
similar in nature to that operated
so successfully at Candle. It is
supposed to be operated during the
the winter months also.
A recent arrival from Dime, who
has been there since the camp began
and who is greatly interested in its
future, says that there is consider
able danger that too many miners
may go there, and so congest labor
in the camp and be unable to obtain
employment. In fact just before he
left there were all .the men needed
in the camp, but they were going
into the camp still and he met all
kinds on the trail.
At the End of the Rainbow, ap
entertaining amateur production,
drew a fairly large house to the
Eagle Hall on Saturday night, the
audience greatly enjoying the clever
presentation of a very difficult play.
The substle humor of the dialogue
and the sparkling wit of the well
written text required considerable
dramatic ability to deliver without
some loss of the subtleties which
the play contained, hut the Nome
amateurs were equal to the oeca-.
sion and as a result a very credit
able performance indeed was ren
dered. The whole was under the
direction of Arthur Cole to whose
indefatigable labors not a little- of
the play’s successful presentation is
due.

An interesting question has ari
sen now as to the status of the city
clerk as city assessor., It has been
claimed to Mr. Grimm that it is up
to the Council to appoint an assessor
and that he does not legally till that
office. The enabling act provides
for an assessor, but the city ordi
nance provides for the city clerk
performing the duties ex officio as
assessor. This it is contended by a
newly elected official is irregular
and will have to be changed. If
this contention now made is correct
then the fact that the clerk in
lormer years has been performing
these duties l'legally make all the
tax collecting under such invalid.
This perpetual uncertainty as to
the right of the city to collect taxes,
it having formerly been alleged
that the incorporation was invalid,
and now this later allegation that
thie city assessor is an appointive
office, independent of the position
of the city clerk, is only going to
show the situation is getting ^more
and more complicated. That sooner
or later men will be elected to office
who will decide these questions for
good and all by a test case* or cases
is the only hope that the city has.
It is a nice situation if all tax col
lections and so forth which have
been made and the various sales
etc, are all of them irregular. That
Nome as a municipality is in a
very peculiar situation brought
about by the exigencies of the tax
collection situation is agreed upon
by all, and the sooner the city gets
down to cases and the people know
where they were at, is unanimously
conceded to be the only thing worth
bringing about. Meantime, quite a
number of large tax payers have
paid no taxes and apparently intend
to bay none. It is not likely that
this action was taken by all of them
without legal advice to act as .they
are doing.
Ed Belden will leave today for
Candle.
