Mayor Phillips appointed Charles
Brandt special police, the next morning
after mis- rejection as chief of police by
the council. 4 conflict between the
mayor and council seems inevitable. To
the ordinary citizen 1t looks as though
four councilmen voting against the
nomination was a sentiment entitled to
such respect of the mayor as would in
duce him TO name a less Objectionable
mar for their consideration.

Communication Concerning school Matters.

EDITOR JoCRNAL:-I appreciate the
good Intentions OF our new editor, Mr..
Parks Of the Telegram. in speaking so
favorably as he does Of the Columbus
schools. but it would be safe 10 say that
had he lived in Columbus longer he
would not thus lavishly bestOw so much
praise upon our system and our super
lntendeut.
I am aware Of the fact that Columbus
has many able teachers and that the
public has very generously ~patrOnized
the efforts OF the teachers IN giving en-
tertainments for the library fund. but I
do not see that the credit should all be
given TO Mr.. Scott. II Is a question IN
my mind. If that same money might rot
have been better invested. and more
desirable books purchased than those
selected. I think. too, that more Of the
money should be invested IN books and
| apparatus for the lower grades. and not
everything for the high school. StGtiHg
that Columbus schools are not sur
passed anywhere. IS more easy than
prOriHy the fact 10 many Of its old cItI-
zens. 4 CITIZEN.

on the night of October IA.
The Bertha sailed from Unalaska October

from the southeast, ana on the 14th the
wind changed to the southwest. blowing a
heavy storm and tremendous sea.
On the night between the 14th and 18th
The Bertha shipped a heavy sea, which

was found impossible to save him, as the
vessel was on her beam ends. Later on
the gale moderated and the damage was
repaired. The cargo and ballast had been
badly shifted by the laboring of the ship
in The heavy seas.
Engineer Condor was a native of Ire
