fit to continue work on his ground
on Penny river today.

How law abiding Nome is, is
shown in the fact that for over a
month there has been a"tenant
neither in the federal nor municipal
jail. A city without a crime!
The belated returns which are ar
riving from distant grecincts show
that there is still a chance that
some who seemed to be in the also
ran class may yet be elected.
Furniture repaired at Crooks,
next City Hall.

Freighters report that the trails
are now in much better shape ai)d

a whole lot more snow.

be opened under the management
of Brooks and Anderson who are
the new lessees of the Staples Build

'December 10, the taxes will be
due. Until that time the city has
to face a deficit in the treasury.
Sandspitters are not taking kindly
to the idea of having to pay taxes
considering the way they have been
treated throughout the year in the
way of bridge accomodation, light
ing and fire protection. They are
asking the conundrum why is a
municipality.

NOTICE.
TO ALL MEMBERS NOME MINE
WORKERS UNION, LOCAL 240
W. F. M.
Nomination of officers for the en
suing term are now open. Election
will be held on Dec. 2, 1916.
The Ladies of the Easterm Stai
have come to the conclusion that in
stead of a formal Thanksgiving Bali
as has annually been the custom, a
Barn Dance with refreshments etc.
would be more welcomed and popu
lar. For that reason they are ar
ranging for such an event on
Thanksgiving Night, Thursday, Nov
30, which will be held in the A. B.
Hall. As this re-union has always
been very enjoyable and as Nome
has been always ready to accept an
invitation to a barn dance, the inno
vation this year ought to prove de
cidedly popular.

City CTerk Grimm says that mer
chants are mighty slow in returning
their assessment blanks filled in.
These 'were supposed to have been
filled and filed before November 16,
so that almost all are practically
overdue. Some that have come in
are not very indicative of the fact
that the merchants are suffering
from an overstock, while in fact
some of the valuations which the
merchants have turned in on their
own stocks show that they have
been carryinig on business on much
less than a shoe string, in Tact have,
been peddling hot air for the most
part and paying freight on it too.
This will necessitate either of two
! things: that the personal property
I valuations bt raised by the assessor
and finali left to the Board ol
Ecjuilizatioi. to adjudicate thereupon
er the real values almost all ol
which are admittedly over-taxed
now, will lv.re to be increased still
further. In act when the merchant
falls to make a fair return of his
; personal property the miners’ cabins
are the oner, to suffer. But it was
always this way, ana will be until
some city council gets backbone,
enough to make these men who try j
to get out of paying their legitimate
taxes blow through or pay the pen- j
alty. That the city needs the money
for school and other purposes is an
obvious fact, and should be reason
enough why there should none of
this evasion from those well enough
able to pay.
Last night about eight o’clock the
pumps were tested in the new pump
ing station erected opposite
the city hall. This is the
so-called fcity pumping plant
although it is erected by a
private syndicate and the power and
pumping rented by the city for use
in its mains. Charlie Ross was busy
as two men putting the finishing
touches to the connections and long
before the time cane to let “her go”
the place was affording entertain
ment to an interested audience ot
others besides the councilmen and
the men who promoted the under
taking. The great gas engine
worked like a charm although the
big muffler failed to work very ad
vantageously and it was apparent
that a gas eater would have to be
employed to stand the thick atmos
phere of combustion gas that filled
the basement. The work of priming
the pumps having been completed
and Jas Haughey at the throttle re
gulating the out-flow of water the
pumps were opened up and speedily
went to an excess of one hundred
pounds pressure before he opened
the out-flow into the drain.
An inspection of the drain out
side revealed several plentiful sluice
heads running to .the beach and the
experiment proved a sucess com
pletely. One unfortunate feature ot
the try-out was the fact that the
engineer became overcome with gas.
He was taken to Mielke’s barber
shop where the care of Dr. Chace
Was requisitioned to restore him
The fact that the muffler leaked so
fearfully was responsible for this.
