I
The Mayor called the council
meeting to order at 8 p. m. last
night. All members apswered the
mil call except Councilman Krieck
The Journal was read and approved.
The requisition of tho fire depart
ment was partW.y granted, the
feed was ordered, and the buying
of the tin strips was referred to the
finance committee.
A communication from Mr. C. L.
Lambert was read, offering to pur
chase from the city the piece oi
property kno7/n as the Snyder lot
situated near the junction of Fro1’.!
and River streeas Mr Lambcr. of
fered to pay a!*, back taxes, penalty
.etc, which has accrued against raid
property. The Mayor stated that
J. J. Colo was the execute#* of the
Synder estate and the paying oi
the taxes had probobly been over
looked. He believed tho taxes would
be paid when Cole arrives. It was
stated he’ll likely be in on one oi
the first boats. (Lambert’.; ch .nces
of obtaining this piece of property
by simply paying a little more than
the taxes against dt, “is very slim
indeed” especially as it happens to
be on river street. There has been
some talk of the possibility of work
being done in. tho near future in
connection with the proposed harbor
-at the entrance of Snake river.)
A communication was read from
Capt Thos Ross of the Coast Guard
Station stating that the members
of the crew and himself are ready
at all times to assist (gratis) the
fire department .When assistance is
necessary to extinguish fires.
The Clerk was instructed to ac
knowledge receipt of said communi
cation.
Evidently, all property owners in
Nome will greatly appreciate the
unselfishness, and efficient services
which may be rendered in time of
need by the Coast Guard.
(Henceforth, citizens can turn in
with less fear than heretofore—now
. we've been assured we'll have two
crews instead of one listening for the
“turn-on-the-water” whistle to
blow.)
The current bills were read and
referred to the finance committee.
Councilman Stadie introduced a
resolution authorizing, in conformity
with the laws, the sale of delinquent
tax property, the resolution was
unanimously passed. The clerk was
instructed to post notices of said sale

' (Special qualifications a yard
long were attached to some of the
official looking applications.)
Councilman Milot moved that
■j* "**
the selection be made by ballot, this
was satisfactory to everybody pres
ent. Milot and Hansen were ap
pointed to act as tellers. Five votes
were cast as follows. Bond 4—
Nielly i. Qeorge Bond was declared
elected, (in spit* pf the fact that
it was rumored that a certain offi
cial was going around yesteday try
ing to knock ham.
‘‘Judging from the many remarks
which we’ve recently heard expressed
pertaining to the fire department,
wo presume that the majority of the
citizens in this community are well
satisfied as to the efficiency, and
ability with which ho filled his po
sition in the past. Mr Bond is fully
capable of filling any position which
may become vacant in Nome’s fire
department. ”
The salary of the new appointee
was fixed at 165.00 per month.
We've be^n informed that b tter
conditions will be given the Bremen
in the future, such as half a day off
at least once a week. “They’re hu
man and they need an occasional
bath, etc, the same as any other
wago slave.”
A committee of three consisting
of C. Mason, A. Beck and M. Roper,
representing the Nome Mine Work
ers Union, asked the Council if there
was such an Ordinance upon the
books which specified the blowing
of the fire whistle, or the ringing
of the fire bell at any certain times
during the day. It was stated that
the whistle, or the bell ought to be
rung at least twice a day, 12 noon
and at 5 p. m. The committ e
stated it would be a benefit, and
very Convenient, for the workers
within the city limits, and those
adjacent thereto if it could be ar
ranged by the council to either blow
the whistle or ring the bell.
(It wil! bo v ry handy, especially
as some of the two-by-four bosses
aro in the habit of cigotting to io.lc
at their watches until miiiy minutes
after quitting tim;.)
The fire committee was instructed
to investigate and see if any ar
rangements could be made to have
the whistle blown, if not, instruc
tions were to be given the members
Of the fire department to ring the
fire bell, at 12 noon and 5 p. m.
The meeting then adjourned in
due form until 8 p. m. Monday, June
3rd.

There are \co many actors to bora us.
And stars who are hardly a shine;
There ajn too many girls ip. t-e choruq
Subsisting pn lobsters ppd wine.
There are too many catpred and yt^tered,
Who call for the iriz*y and ijrjr.
Too few who are sowing and hilling and hoeing
So living—well, living is high.
There are too many thrummers and struminers
Annoying the keys and the strings;
There are too many chauffers and loafers
Who are riding in automo-things.
There are too many schemers and dreamers
And only a few who produce;
Too many investing the golden-egg nesting,
And few who are growing the goose.
There are two many preachers and teachers
who work the south half of their faces;
There are too many tourists and purists,
Whose suits are concealed in their cases.
There are too many lawyers and jawyers
Who demand, but who can not supply,
And they serve a subpoena upon a Mortini,
And wonder that living is high.
Too many are looking for cooking,
Too few are encouraging spuds;
Too many find sinning is simpler than spinning.
To dress in delectable duds.
There is too much ddctionand friction
And not enough actual toil;
There are too many diggers at ficticious figures,
And not enough diggers of soil.
There are too many rhymers and chimera
(Like me) doing versified stunts;
There are too many gapers (like you) of the papers,
Who read and forget both at once.
There are too few who skill hard the vineyard,
Too many inbibing its juice,

Corporation (mis)representatives and a few of their
satellites are still trying to hire men to go to work in Viola
tion of the eight-hour lav which has been established—AND
IS DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL BY ORGANIZED LABOR
— (regardless as to what political misfits, or others say to
the contrary.) AS WELL AS BY EIGHTY FOUR PER CENT
OF THE VOTERS THROUGHOUT THE TERRITORY.
Any wage worker on Seward Peninsula who works longer
than eigh.*. pours in each calendar day (except where it may be
an emergency case, and is absolutely necessary) is considered
unfair towards Organized Labor and unfit for the companion
ship of his fellowman.
The following named persons are (at present) consid
ered unfair towards Organized Labor. They have worked for
either the Pioneer Mining Company, Wild Goose Mining
Company or the Moonlight Water Company since May 1st,
1918, and in violation of tho rule3 and regulations adopted
by the Nome Mine Workers Union prior to May 1st, 1918.
