| COUNCIL TO MEET TONIGHT
TO CONSIDER ORDINANCES
The members of Xenana’s city
council will meet in special session
tonight for the purpose of consid
ering needed ordinance, some of
wh:ch have already been prepared
j for introduction. In all probability,
: among the first laws to be placed
] on the municipal statute books will
i be one to hbate the dog nuisance,
one to put a stop to the use of
sidewalks by teams, another regulat-1
1 ing alleys and one covering disord
1 erly conduct and drunkenness.
There also probably will be a
i further discussion of ways ,.nd means
! and definite action will be taken
shortly to finance tii? city, pending
: the the receipt of revenues in the
j form of taxes.
At the meeting oi the council
! held on Tuesday night, the meipbers
wfto met with Col 'dears for the
purpose of discussing a proposal to
' take over the management of the
j A. F. C. power and telephone plants,
j as was suggested by the commission
officials prior to incorporation, re
I ported that there appeared little dis
I position on the part of the commis
! sion to make any change at this
| time. Col. Mears appearing to be
.satisfied with the manner in w rich
I the utilities are being handled by
| the Healv River Coal Corporation.
In view of the outcome of the
: conference, the clerk was instructed
to communicate with Manager R. S.
Donaldson, of the coal company, re
questing a meeting for the purpose
of arriving at some kind of an un
derstanding regarding the cost of
! street lights and water furnished to
the city for fire protection.
An application was received from
Dawson Cooper for the position of
municipal clerk, and placed on file.
The deliberations of the aider
men were enlivened by a riot call
from the restricted district, and Fire
Chief Johnson was dispatched to the
scene of trouble to investigate. He
returned to the council chamber
within a short time dragging a
foreign disturber with him who had
all the appearance of having been
in a real scrap. He was closely
questioned by Mayor Smith and, it
appearing that others than himself
had provoked the trouble, he was
sent to his lodgings
F. A. Hansen, engineer of main
tenance and construction, accompan
ied by E. F. Power, his assistant,
arrived on the Overland this after
noon from McKinley Park and will
remain in town for a few days. On
the same train. Special Estimator
II. U. M. Higgins ant Chit:' Account
ant J. C. Seeley, of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, also arrived.
Higgins, Seeley and Boyer expect
to make a trip to Fairbanks during
their stay in the Interior, and while
in that district plan to hunt ptarmi
gan. to be found there in great
numbers.
SENATE WILL PROBE LOBBY
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 8—
The senate has adopted a resolution
directing Congress to investigate the
activities of the alleged dyestuffs
lobby.
WHITE PASS MANAGER SAYS
GOVERNMENT HAS PROBLEM'
In announcing recently that the
White Pass Route would not accept
freight or passengers for Tanana
Valiev points next season. General
Manager Herb Wheeler explained
that the completion of the Govern
ment railroad had destroyed the \
White Pass business in Interior Alas- 1
ka. He said that his company would
give shippers outside of Tanana Val
ley points the best service possible ]
after considering net returns to the 1
railroad company.
During 1920, the transportation'
man says, about half a million dol
lars in gross tonnage was collected
by the White Pass corp ~ation on :
traffic from St. Michael to Dawson,
which includes all the-lower Yukon'
and tributaries. This year the traffic
was below 1920. This, in the opinion I
of Mr. Wheeler, will leave the Gov
ernment railroad with about $1000,
000 in gross tonnage returns for the
1922 season, which, in his opinion,
v.-ii! give appalling loss for railroad
operation.
The general manager says, in his
statement, that his company will not i
operate any steamers on the Tanana
river, and Yukon steamers plying be
tween St Michael and Dawson, will
not be operated on any fixed sched
ule.
Students of Franklin K. I-ane
:-ahool are busy at work now on tbe
Christmas cantata, “Santa's Little.
Boy”. The story of this cantst
seemingly teaches the impossible:
the more of happiness we give away, j
the more we have left. It is brim i
full of Christmas cheer, is humorous !
enough to hold the attention of all
and the moral is plainly seen and
is not easily forgotten. The can
tata is full of catchy songs, so fuli
of pep and vim that they sing them
selves and will be remembered long
after Christmas is past.
The leading parts are as follows:
Santa Claus is being played to per
fection by John Scott, Jr; Mrs.
Santa Claus is well taken by Ethel
Rosburg. Freddy Santa Claus, Santa
Claus’ little boy, is being played by
Donald Fowler. Other characters
have been selected, but changes may
be made before long, so a complete
list is not ready at this time.

The forces employed on the Gov
ernment railroad, all along the line
from Fairbanks to Seward, are being
cut down to -winter requirements,
as much of the work cannot now be
done as economically and efficiently
owing to cold weather and frost
conditions. The steel gang, consist
ing of about 100 men, was laid oft'
recently and the men returned last
Saturday to Anchorage, where they
were recruited. It is expected that
the crew of the steam shovel arid
possibly another train crew will be
laid off soon. These men probably
will winter in the Interior to await
the opening up of work next spring.
