Here There Everywhere
It will be a “no contest” in the
Civic elections if there aren’t
more candidates filing for posi
tions on the City Council. At thi
writing, there have been only
three who have actually filed. Ru
mors as to other candidates who
wiil seek a Council seat are flying
a. >unj pretty heavily. No doubt
there will be a last minute rush to
get under the deadline by noon to
i
day.

Tim Gilmore, of Elks Club fame
and debonair man about town, ha.
filed. His day off is Monday, am
that’s the night of Council meet
ings—so he says, 'Why not?" Tin
has a lot of friends—he’ll find ou
how many of them will go alon;
with his campaign slogan, "Rom
with Gilmore."

George Sonntag is another can- 1
didate who has entered the field.
He is an old resident, having been
here about 8 years. His slogan is
‘Government for all the people,
not just a few.”
I Another candidate is out after
signatures. Jim Loan states he is
t running for a Council seat—so the
race is beginning to take on the
; look of an election. One more, who
hasn't filed at this writing, is
George Cornelius. We haven’t ask
ed these latter what their plat E
forms will be.
Speaking of office seekers, re
minds us of an article which ap
peared in the Juneau Independ
ent about Byron Gillam, which said
at least 40 signs were “Gillamized ’
along Alaska highways, according
to ARC officials. The signs read
“Axe the Tax. Ellect Gillam.” Gil
lam himself, may be “axed” as the
law provides a penalty of $500 for
such defacement.

A word about the weather Ru- I
mor has it that snow fell atop a
nearby mountain. All we can say
it it sure felt like it .... . When
you feel like complaining of a lit
tle rain here in Kodiak, think of
Ketchikan. That City had 25.33
inches in August, which wasn’t by
any means a record. It “drizzled
33.90 inches” in August, 1920, ac
cording to the Ketchikan Chron
icle. Postscript: Five minutes after
the above was written, snow be
gan in downtown Kodiak!

Another name that has been as-"'
sOciated with good food and enter
tainment of a sort in Kodiak, has'" •
been discarded. Its present najpe,
the Yum Yum, we have assumed
referred to good food, but it mi^ht
have been used to describe the en
tertainment offered at one time.
That was in the colorful days of
the war when a soldier went up to
the door of the Greenhouse and
asked if he could purchase some
flowers. The Yum Yum will be op
erated as a rooming house by Cas
sie Coble, who has renamed it the
rista View Rooms.
