FOLLOWING VP
Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasois;
5 he first reason is that we are $1000.00 to the good.
The second reason is that we have demonstrated to the
public the unreliability of rumors, and we are sorry to say that
owing to the same persisteut and pernicious agitation many of
our citizens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureXome for some hidden purpose. _
The true development. of locality is never based on a mush
room growth it takes arduous and patient work to bring and keep
section prospering.
At this time more than any other time (Excepting few war
conditions which no good American will run away from)
Nome's future looms up brighter than ever and those who remain
' to assist in bringing the daynearer will reap the benefit. ’
LEST YOU FORGET
We want to also impress upon your mind that we have not relented
in the grocery business, we carry the best of goods and we are sell
ing them at right prices.

tecting consumers from what is claim
ed to be the high-handed method of
the local coal dealers, operating with
the approval of the local fuel admin
istrator, D. W. Jeter, the City of

some time ago authorized the Mayor
and the finance committee to estab
lish a municipal coal yard, and the
formal recommendation that this be
done will be made at the next meeting.

articles of amendment to the State
Constitution to prevent the courts
from issuing injunctions against
! strikes.

no more dastardly than the autocracy
of the labor unions of the United
States.
NEWS NOTES
The Ram arrived from up the coast
wherev. it has been engaged in dis
tributing supplies.
Republicans have issued a circular
wherein the political and domestic
virtues of each of their candidates is
heralded to the four winds of heaven.
It is painfully eulogistic.
Duffy O’Connor who had the misfor
tune to have his ship the Hettie B.
driven ashore in the storm, is now en
gaged in attending to the vessel. He
lost anchor chain and anchor and dam
aged his popellor, the latter but slight
ly, when he was driven ashore.

All the councilmen were present
at the postponed meeting of the city |
council held last evening, with the I
exception of Councilman Lescher. j
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were read a,nd approved.
A communication was read from
Cap King offering the city countirj
$13.50 for a cabin in the east end of I
town, the amount being equal to j
taxes, penalty and interest upon the j
property.
A communication was also read•
from Manager Jacobson of the Alaska
Lighterage and Commercial Co offer
ing one thousand dollars for the fire
pumps at the old station in the rear
of the lighting plant. The offer was
accepted by the City and the Clerk
was instructed to prepare a bill of sale
accordingly. The clerk’s report re
vealed that there was on hand cash
amounting to $2339,67 but that war
rants wer outstanding to the amount
of $4769,15, leaving a balance still in
the red.
The Alaska Industrial Mining and
Power Co agreed to furnish light to
the city at the rate of 75 lights for
12 and 60 lights for 13% cents.
The council ordered an ordinance
drawn up requiring all who wished to
tear down cabins or other buildings
in the city limits to get a permit from
the city clerk before doing so.
The mayor announced that he had
received a telegram from Governor
Riggs that he was in St Michael and
was coming over on the Arctic. The
council was appointed a committee
to act as a reception committee in
conjunction with other committees
for that purpose.
A lock was ordered put on the safe

of the city might be safely under lock
and key.
The health officer reported three
births and no deaths during the past
month. Routine business of an unim
portant nature having been transact
ed the council adjourned.
fuel monopoly declares that this is
not correct. Oil was selling at $3.50
a barred at the opening of navigation
and the price per barrel now is $4.30.
That is approximately eighty cents
per barrel which is only the costs
of transportation plus the price fixed
by the administration. .At eighty
cents a barrel transportation costs one
can easily understand that the profits
of the tankers must be huge enough.
However that’s not the point. -Oper
ators we understand have heretofore
obtained under contract oil at the rate
of $2.80 a barrel, others had con
tracts which were at the rate of $3.00.
so that if the ruling made in the oil
industry is to apply to Alaska, that
no rebates were to be granted to buy
ers, the price of oil will be increased
fully a dollar and a half a barrel Of
course to the single barrel purchaser
the oil will still only be increased
eighty cents .
The Belinda returned this morning
from a trading trip to Siberia having
disposed of its cargo for cash. The
schooner was close to Cape North
when it came across a trader with
good American cash who bought the
whole cargo. The buyer then charter
ed the Belinda to take the cargo to
where he wanted it placed. About
forty miles from Cape North they en-!
countered heavy Arctic ice and did
not go any further. The saw nothing
of the Sea Wolf which they had heard
was in Anadir.
The Silver wave was an arrival
from the North this morning after
doing big work. The first trip was
made to Point Hope with government
siy>plies for the Bureau of Education
station there. They left for the coal
mine to load a supply of coal, but
owing to the bad weather could not
make it. They came down and went
into Shismareff where they loaded
up the dredge there and brot it to
Teller for Joe Vint. The dredge mov
ing was quite an extensive piece of
work, about 120 tons in all being
involved. Neither the Silver Wave
not the Belinda experienced any bad
weather in their trips and did not run
into the storms that were around this
section during the past week or so.
While the Republicans are mani
festing the usual harmony character
istc of those outside looking in, demo
cratic candidates display no such
solidarity and each candidate appears
to be inclined to paddle his own canoe,
None even display a tendency to pull
an oar for Mr Sulzer unless they have
immediate access to the spoils of of
fice or are indentified unmistakably
with those in that fortunate adipose
producing position.
An important deal in valuable fox
skins was concluded today when
Pelkel and Cuttle bought the fine
parcel of furs brot over by Karaef
brothers from Siberia. It was report
ed that this Siberian firm was seek
ing to acquire by purchase one of
the local masquito fleet boats for
their business across the Bering Sea,
but at any rate no such deal has
been concluded as yet.
