Clash Between COunCil and
 Water company.
C0MPhMY'S DEMAND
Want S2ooO For Furnishing Water For Fire and City Purposes. for the Season. the Same as Last ear, and Council Thinks It Too riuch.

Last Monday evenings meeting of the city council demonstrated clearl, that there is q rupture between the Nome Water Company and the fire committee.
 The matter was brought up by recom- menGalions of Fire Chief Baldwin. He requested that some immediate action be taken regarding the water supply, as the supply was liable 70 be eat of from the ocean at any minute. As neither IOurdcn nor Stevens, the fire committee, were present, no explana- tion could be had; but Archer stated that Jourden and ;. C. Milligan, man. ager of the water company. could net agree, and Jourdcn was given to under turned on until terms had been ur- ranged. Last year the city paid S2.oO0 for the water privilege and hardly used a bucketful. This year the same figure is asked by the company. two reasons being given: The company is still Il young one. and if the city doesn't want the water it can be sold elsewhere. Archer wanted to know if the water company had franchise. The city attorney and the law and ordinance committee were instructed to look into the matter of the cjty's right, and the rights of the water company and to draft an ordinance relative to securing water for tue engine.
 City Assessor White reported hay ing collected $4,O91.50 from general licenses, $4S from poll taxes and $34 from dog taxes. Receipts had been formed according to ordinance as pay ment of poll tax.
 The sum of $1, 98O -S has been placed to the credit of the school fund by the clerk of the district court. The treas urer's statement credited the general fund with ,S34 go, street fund wiCh $l5.75, fire fund with $36 and the school fund with $4, l3S2 24. The amount of money availab ble in the city treasury was S4, 230.S0, and d warrant call was ordered for warrants numbered 634 to 747, inclusive.
 Chief of Police Jolley reported 49 ar rests. 36 convictions, : turned over to the federal jail, and discharged dur l ing the month of May. The sum of S5l9 had been collected from fines and forfeitures, while l16 meals had been furnished to prisoners.

Experiments of Department

WEATHER BUREAU
Offers a Field for the Purpose of Adopting System Suitable to Its
 Needs Stations to Be Established Along Pacific Coast and on Islands.

Washington, April 29.-Professor Willis l.. Moore, speaking of wireless telegraphy, says:
 ''SeIetary Wilson early recognized the value of wireless or space teleg- raphy. For about two years. by his orders, experiments have been con ducted for the purpose of 'devising Q system that would be adaptable to the peculiar needs of the weather bureau.
 "The weather bureau offers field for tbis new method of communication that is unique.and interesting. By it's use we hope to accomplish results that are impossible in any other way. Weather conditions in the northern hemisphere move from the west to the east, and weather predictions for a state or locality are based npon ob- servations taken to the westward. It is, therefore. entimes~ difficult to forecast for the Pacific coast, because we cannot ascertain the weather cOndi- tions that prevail in the ocean to the westward. Wireless telegraphy offers a solution of the difficulty, and already arrangements are being made 10 eslab- fish stations on some of the nearby islands of the Pacific. Observers sta tioned on those islands will flash their observations. across the intervening waters to land stations. and the in formation they contain will enable the weather bureau to issue warnings of fogs and weather conditions with a greater degree of accuracy. The ob- servers located on these islands will also be charged with the duty of re- porting vessels for the benefit Of com merce.
 "Another application of space teleg- raphy will be in the warning of vessels at sea of dangerous storms. The pres ent system employed by the weather bureau in issuing storm warnings is so complete that every vessel that floats in our ocean and lake ports can be notified of approaching dangerous winds in less than two hours. but there is no way of communicating with vessels that have left port. Wireless telegraphy will be invaluable in this work. Vessels equipped with wireless telegraphv in struments can be informed of the 'loca- tion and violence of ocean storms, l ;ak Hl hnn fr nj safety or alter their sailing direction, as the case may demand. This will be especially applicable to the large. mum ber of vessels engaged incur coastwise trade.
 "Wireless telegraphy will be boon to the people of the West Indies. Those islands of the southern seas will have a more speedy intercourse than by sail and steam, and warnings of the dread full hurricane will be radiated from island to island to the everlasting grat itude of people that in the past has sacrificed thousands of lives in the in satiable fury of these tropical storms.
 "No country in the world has O. bet ter telegraph service than the United States. Without rapid and efficient inland telegraph system weather ser vice would not be possible. The devel opment and uses of wireless telegraph may prove as startling and valuable tt commerce as the magnetic telegraph and the telephone"

in the vicinity of the Postoffice.
There had been wedding in'dark-
town" and the bridal party was on
its way to the depot. The bride
was a decided brunei exceedingly
tall and a decided heavy weight.
She was just from Hymen's altar
bedecked with veil and orange
flowers. All at once, amid the
thickest of the crowd, TIE dusky
bride became frantic and wildly
clutched her garments. She was
about to loose some of them, and
the crowd saw only the humorous
side of the catastrophy while the
unfortunate woman beat a hasty
retreat to some sheltering haven

There has not been lack of
interest in this matter by the
people, or rather those who have
all along championed the cause,
but it has been thought best to
further wait, as the attorneys of
the Bayou Carlin Drainage District
commissioners, have applied to the
Supreme Court for a re-hearing, in
the hopes of getting a modified
decision which will allow the old
board Of commissioners to do bust
ness. A little wait may save
greater confusion and loss of time.
As soon as the court will have
passed upon this new application
either the old board will proceed
with the work, or the people them.
