kThE FUMES ARE: 2. or E,

The meeting of the city council on Monday evening was sort of q free tor-all, and everybody but the mayor and clerk was in it. The first cause for action and q flow of elOquencc was over the report of the police committee on the chief of police's communication. presented at the last meeting. It ie- commended that no action be taken in the matter of repairing the old jail or making an office ior the chief, but that the journals and books asked for e supplied. It was also recommended that the law and ordinance committee hibiting minors nom frequenung sa Icons or other publIc places. The com mittee deemed it inadviSable at this time to purchase locks. cluu-, guns, or pistols, as the officers heretofore had furnished their own and could do so now. The chief alsu advised the pur- chasing of a safe for the jail, in which to put such valuables as might be taken from prisoner, but this also, the com mittee reported against. stating that the city was in no tinancial condition to spend money on things that could be dispensed with.
 Archer didn't like all Of the report. He said that the cost of the locks Mus very small. but they were necessary and that the chief should nave a p.Y- .vate office. Jourden responded by say ing that the quarters had been sunic- tent to hold all prisoners in the past and could do for a while longer. Econ omy was his platform and always had bsen and he then touched up the cX- travagance of the former city council. Stevens objected some what to this and made a feeble attcmpt to uphold the actions of the first beard of city fathers. Finally Chief Brannen stated that he would furnish the furnture for the room if the city would put in the parti- tiOn, and the matter was again referred to the police committee

Lee, agent of the government reindeer sta tion at that place. Mr.. Berrar Ii, c. sides trying L develop the ative in- tellect, is also aching them habits of cleanliness. thrift and ntatness. She breaches the virtie If soap of water, being more con erned with their tenn poral welfare than their spiritual, which, is as it should be. T en4t,se girls are taught how to sew cloth and make clothing. They know how to sew skins and furs to perfection, but when it cones to the white mans cloth they are not nearly 50 adept iu the use of the needle.
 In private letter to friend in Nome, Mrs. Bernardi says: II have rented sewing machine from one of the herders, and will have at least l2 girls ready to handle it and teach others by this time next year. Were you given q steam engine to han dle you would feel no more queer sensations, when it moved, than these girls do when tbey feel the treadle move under their feet The last girl 1 taught, -egweenu) began to gig gle, and she giggled every time she gave the wheel s turn. Finally she dropped to the floor crying, saying she was afraid of it. Even now after two weeks she catches her breath every time she starts the wheel.

 or not he could come through the northwest passage. A good many people will tell him that no ship ever came through that passage. We'll, you enter Davies strait and up through Baifn's bay, making some weSting as you come along. You enter Lancaster sound, coming due west. The Erebus and Terror were seen here by whalers, who reported them. They went through the northwest passage. The season was favorable and open. water was found through Wellington channel to latitude v degrees. They returned by the west side of Cornwalls island. The commander found ice up there, no doubt, aud failed to find harbnr or shelter. But he continued coming west, and got beset in the ice pack in Melville sound. The winters blizzards found him here and drove him down through McClinlock channel, and on the island, named King Williams Land, which lay right in his course, here on the north and litt,e west, was the ship that came ashore. And the burial place of the commander is near this spot. And so are the records which were described by the native and they will be found at some future time. All the old doughty lords of the British admiralty would have to do. would be to charter few of the best whalers, send three or four of them through Baliin's bay aud Lancaster sound pro visioned for three years at least; others through Bern. strait with instructions to follow the east coast, and then If they could get no further, through Dolphin and Union straits, or even .Franklin's bay.

MAYOR M'CONOCHIE TAKES
STAND ON SALOON EVIL

Mayor-elect William McConochie in
a published interview and signed
statement in the Union, mentions
some of the things he proposes doing
when he succeeds to the office of
chief executive of the city. He lays
particular stress upon his attitude to-
ward the question of allowing wo-
men to be harbored in saloons, and
the statement is in the fern of no
tice that he expects to give to each
saloonkeeper upon taking up the du-
ties of the office. This notice would
give the saloonkeepcrs to understand
that women and screened stalls will
have to be done away with. The pub
lie will doubtless appreciate this
promised attitude on the mayors
part, and earnestly trust that he will
carry it into effect.

A. D. SPERRY CAPTURES
A HANDSOME TROPHY

A contest that it required year to
decide was settled at the Elm street
range by the Marlin Rifle club Satur-
day afternoon. \ year ago Phil Mitch
ell put up a handsome gold watch fob
to be shot for, the conditions being
that the three men making the high
est scores at the greatest number of
shoots during the year with the one
making the highest score of
the season should shoot in
the finals for the fob. The four
who were entered Saturday were Phil
Mitchell. A. d. Sperry, James Darnell
and B. D. Connolly. The match was
an exciting one, and was captured by
Mr. Sperry, with Mr.. Connolly a close
second. Mr.. Sperry's score was s364
in so shots, and Mr.. Connelly's was z
points lower. Mr.. Sperry used Stew
ems rife.
