District Court today.
1 M P. Peterson left with a load
of freight (per dog team) last night
for the Loerpable camp on Iron
Creek
The three locomotives which were
formerly used on the Solomon River
Railroad will be shipped to the out
side during the coming summer.
One. of the political gas-bags re
cently exhausted such balderdash
as, if he lets another wimper out of
him I'll can him for six months.
(Rats.)
"Let the opportunity arise and
wie’ll venture to say to the vapor
izer that there’ll be a wimper al-j
right, even if the library should j
be presented (later) for so loing.
Late arrivals from Dextor creek
sa;d, judging by present indications
of weather conditions out there, it
will be some time yet before they
’ll get an opportunity to sluice their
winter dumps.
Some of the Boys in the vicinity
of said creek, are still hoisting the
auriferous gravel to the surface.
(Most of them are doing so with
i the aid of an armstrong hoist.)
Yesterday, a representative of
the Industrial Worker was inform
ed that some of the tax-paying ;
property owners who reside within
the City limits, recently made the
statement that they were willing
to subscribe the $10.00 per month
difference which apparently exists
between some of the dissatisfied
members of the local fire depart
men and some of the members of
the city council, providing it is
necessary to do so to keep up the
present efficiency of said depart
ment.
Wie presume the Mayor and his
collogues realize that the tax-pay
ers are to be taken into considera
tion (if not consultation) when
it comes to the maintenance of 1
efficient fire-fighters.
Regardless as to who may be select
ed by the City Council at next Mon- !
day .night's meeting, from among J|
the applicants seeking the position g
as a member of the Nome Fire Do- I
partment, we still maintain that a
$175.00 per month is not one cent
too much to pay for the services
of an efficient member of the afore
said department.
It is not necessary for us to enter
into details to illustrate the facts,
that the price of the necessaries
of life are soaring skyward in this
community, as well ns elsewhere,
since the U. S. entered the war.
All city employees salaries should
be paid direct from the city treas
ury, if it is possible to do so. Pri
vate subscription ought to be the
last resort.
Reasonable wages should be paid
under any and all circumstances.
We’ll state right here for the i
benefit of v/hom-so-ever it may ;
concern, that it' it is necessary ,
to resort to the subscription *
list to pay efficient mem
bers of the fir - department reson
nble wages tire Nome Mine Workers
Union will certainly pay their pro
portionate share.
(Furthermore, the aforesaid or
ganization's tax receipts will corn
rare favorably with any o'er >3
