the fur business records a corres

so quickly responds to depressive
influences, and these, in the estima

Last night all the aldermen did
themselves proud both at and before
a special meeting of the City Coun
cil to consider the purchase of the
James lot opposite the city hall for
the purpose of establishing a pump
ing station. They went over the
matter for and againts, and if their
caucuses were anything like the ani
mated discussion that they held in
I the ante room before they reached
any sort of conclusion then they
must have been lively sessions in
deed. Jim M’Allister led the pur
'hase faction while Thompson mar
shalled his forces against him. Yet
both found that their supporters
were giving only half hearted sup
port and finally the matter was ad
justed by a motion, made by M’Al
lister and seconded by Poteet, that
> the city purchase the James lot
[$250 to be paid down,
$250 to be paid next October and
the balance of $500 to be paid July
1, 1917, without any accruing inter
est. All voted aye on this motion
except Thompson who was negative.
The Mayor appointed a committee
consisting of Burgh, Rose, Poteet to
devise ways and means of raising
money for the purpose of erecting
a pumping plant on the lot purchas
ed. The meeting then adjourned
subject to a call from the Mayoit
All were present including Major

Closing Out Sal )
Bad National Bank Currency is
causing a flurry in business circles
in Nome. The m>re serious of these
bills is a one hundred dollar note on
the National Bank of Pittsburg, ac
cepted by the bartender of the
Board of Trade yesterday morning
after the arrival of the Senator and
turned in by the proprietor to the
Alaska Bank yesterday morning
where the lack of signature on the
bill was noticed by the cashier and
the bogus currency detected. Tho
bill is good in all respoets except
that it lacks the bank's signature
and must have been stolen when in
transit from the Treasury. The
night bar tender who accepted the
bill claimed it was given him by a i
stranger in payment for drinks
served and cashed by him. The
stranger who arrived on the Sena
tor is a Yukon trapper named W. S.
Galey who declares that he does
not think he passed tho bill, al
though he may have done so, but
would not swear one way or an
other that that was his bill. He
sold one thousand dollars worth o*
furs to the N. C. Co. at Circle City
and got ten hundred dollar bills In
payment and if he tendered the
hundred dollar bill in question, it
was from the roll that he received
from the N. C. Co.. No suspicion
of intention to pasp a counterfeit
monoy is attached to Mr. Galey. It
is a coincidence, however, that prior
to his arrival other houses of busi
ness accopted ten dollars unsigned
notes also national bank currency
for ten dollars. The Marshal’s office
is investigating the matter.
