Minutes of several past meetings
almost made Clerk Grimm develop

several municipal departments and
later these were approved.

his verbal report that a committee
be appointed to arrange for the

the School Board. This was done

j vital statistics of a routine nature

: and injured purposes. This was
1 granted.
O’Farrell announced the lighting
l company insisted upon offering a
' renewal of the old contract, that is
I 75 lights for 11 cents. He had tried

first class condition.
The Mayor stated that Rowe
had told him he had formulated a
plan for taking over under con

on call with other contractors offers
Moreover Rowe had expressed the
opinion that gravel or macadam
was just as good and better in some
cases than planking and also be
lieved that the streets should be
gravelled from the docks to Dry
Creek to protect the planking. Mr.
Lindeberg had offered at the close
of the mining season to donate the
use of the catterpillar and trucks
for street work and the Mayor
thought that they might get volun
teers to perform the shovel work.
Hills and other business having
been handled in the usual way.

WE TELL OUR 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 that 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 effiiciently and to pre
serve same in order to aid iu the present and future develop
ment of our community.

LOCAL ITEMS.
Mining indications for the winter
are to be chiefly observed in tne
vicinity of the Submarine where in
all probability the most important
winter operations will take place.
Despite pessimistic views to the
contrary there is every likelihood
of more important mining being
carried out this coniine' winter than
in the past two .tears A consider
able quantity of ground is to be
opened up on the submarine by all
accounts.
The excitement that broke out in
mining circles over the failure ot
the company to pay in full some of
the men employed by the men em
ployed by the Alaska Mines Corpo
ration somewhat simmered down
although as far as could be learned
yesterday the men had not been
paid. Whether or not a resolve
lias been made to continue the ope
rations that made the Nome Con
solidated famous in this camp is not
known, but the workers somehow
connect this delay with the arrival
of a well known high financier not
wholly unconnected with the com
pany. Whether there is any ground
for the belief that the former system
is connected with the arrival or not
the Industrial Worker is not able
to say. The workers who have
money coming so far are not able
to say whether it is because the
the balance in hand is temporarily
exhausted or because it is due to
the not unknown custom followed
in former years by some corpora
tions of "paying the money when
it was taken out of the ground’’.
There was a general disposition upon
the part of many cf the former
employees who are unpaid to bide
a while to see what will happen.
This is almost like old times.
