battle royal in the skies today over j
the lilies. This was inaugurated by j
the Germans who attacked in force, j

POISON WATER HOI.IIS.
..EL PASO, Sopt. 25.— It is al
leged that poison has been found in
water holes on all the cattle ranges
in southern Texas and Arizona.
This discovery it is stated will
uncover a German plot to kill thou
sands of cattle which were destined
for the American armies.
Although the wells are said to be
poisoned, it is remarkable that no
reports as to cattle dying therefrom
come with this story.
It is possibly of an alarmist na
ture and not properly founded on
fact.

Of The Bargains Offered

The Big
Untill The Close Of Navigation
WE TELL OUi CUSTOMERS
THE TRUTH.
As far as we know the truth.
If candor and straight-forwardness is going to deprive us
of an individual sale we may safely conclude that the sale better
be sacrificed than that the charcter of our store be placed in
jeopardy.
There is but one basis upon which the relations between
the merchant and customer may be safely placed and that is
upon the foundation of confidence.
One lie may not destroy that foundation but it develops a
fracture that require many more lies to conceal tliat the struc
ture is bound to disintegrate.
We must pay a certain market price for our goods and
we must sell same at a little more than what we pay for them
to be able to maintain our structure effiieiently and to pre
serve same in order to aid in the present and future develop
ment of our community.

On October 1 Municipal Assessor . N
Grimm will proceed to make his 8
annual round up of taxable values I y
within the municipality of Nome. c{
it is some job. Mr. Grimm docs not 8
'take kindly to the notion that the. ; !i
City Council apparently desires'§
should materialize, that is that an j H
assistant assessor be appointed in j 5
terms cf a rcsoluion already passed j 3
the Council. He insists that he is i 2
the official assessor and that he will | j
act independently of such an ns-iS
sessor to whom the council can give ! jj
no official standing by any ordi-Jfl
nance, resolution or fiat whatso-1 „
ever. Moreover he is auite deter- j "
mined that no such appointed j ■
assistant will share hia office or , J
have access to his books unless by
an order of the DitrU-t Couri. The j
fact that he was elected by the
people and not a: ; < in*<V !iy tie
council, as city clerk and ex of in 'c
city assessor and municipal magi-'
!ra . giv< s h i m. h< feels no u i
ctr' in .'round to act upon. It
is well known that the assessed vn

some businessmen, but Mr. Grimm

“Hy Heavens. I'm astonished at my
own moderation". The general pub
lic approved tie Grimm assessments
by the vote that he was accorded
last spring and he feels that the .
Council would in appointing an as
sistant assessor to inteifere with ]
his work, be superseding that en- |
dorsement which he received at the j
