sections. He confirms the-report pub- lished in THE NUGGET a short time ago, that the food supply is short, and many people would be compelled to leave the Tanana this winter. It was expected that they could obtain pro- visions at the various trading stations along the river.
 Mr. Seidel also confirms the report of the sinking of the N. c. Co.'S steamer Sarah in the Yukon on Oct ,, about 40 miles below Eagle. The steamer, it seems, however, was raised, and was lowed to Dawson by the Louise and Leah. The Sarah had hole punched in her bottom by snag. The Leah after reaching Dawson, started for St. Michael, but only got as far as Ram part, where she went into winter quar- ters. Many people, this fall, left Daw- ana country.
 Mrs. Red" Mcconnell, an account of whose sudden flight from Dawson, was published in the last issue of THE NUGGET, reached Fairbanks in safety, where she joined her husband. At Rampant her trunk was seized for debt, but she left it behind and proceeded up the Panama.
 Mir. Sedel was in the Cinema section about three weeks, and he is satisfied that a big mining country will be de- veloped there. He would have re- mained there this winter but for the shortage of provisions.
 Mir. Seidel is also one of the pioneers of Valdez, where he is interested in town property. The town, he says, is dead one, there being only about 300 people there. Bill McPhee and Capt. Geiger built dock at Valdez last spring, but financially it has been a failure. A number of former Nome men are in Valdez, but all are discour- aged with the outlook. When the "moral wave" struck Alaska last win ter it did not reach Valdez, and gamb- ling continues to run "wide open."

 try.-BeIieveS in It.

Geo. Seidel, of Valdez, is one of those who express great faith in the Tanana country. Mr. Ssidel reached Nome from the mouth of the Panama 2 few days ago. He left there on Oct. l3 in a small boat. Forty miles below the ice overlook him and his boat was broken in pieces. Then he started on foot, walking the entire distance. He reached Nome Nov. B. The Yukon river closed on Oct. P, and on his way down Mir. Seidel crossed the river on the ice three times. The ice is smooth and is in the best condition that he has ever seen it. Mir. Seidel formerly lived in Dawson, and he therefore knows the vagaries of ice in the Yukon river.
 Speaking of the Panama Mir. Seidel says that when he left there early in October, there were probably 350O people in the Fairbanks and Cinema

 province as a judge. For instance, it
 IS alleged, that on occasion he has left
 the bench and ascended the pulpit, and said things to a wicked and perverse generation from its shadow. that he
 'dare not utter from the bench" At any rate, as preacher judge he seems to have administered sundry and divers severe verbal castigations which did not rest easily upon the heads, or backs, or souls of those who heard him. For these and other reasons, it is averred that Judge Browns political pathway in Alaska is not particularly luminous. will not remain in Alaska. He will return to Tacoma, his former home, and resume the practice of his prOfes- sion, and dip in politics as he may.
 If a delegate be appointed instead of elected, it is more than likely that the place will be rendered to Judge Chas. $. Johnson. Whether he would accept it or not is another question. There will, no doubt, be number of others who would not reject the place, among them being Jos. w. Ivey, former col lector of customs and Gov. John c. Brady. But the strongest man, by far, of the three is Judge Johnson, and he would also be by far, the more accept able to the people of Alaska.
 Judge Wickersham's place on the Alaska bench will undoubtedly be filled by Washington state man. and by this time, probably the wires have been laid and his successor agreed upon.

FIRE BURNS
 EMPTY CABIN
Said to Have Been Un0Ccupied, the Owner Being Absent--
 Suspicious Circumstance.

Fire was discovered yesterday about o'clock in a cabin near Fourth and C streets, not far from the Congregation al church. An alarm was turned in and the fire department boys, with the chemical engine, were soon on hand. The front half of the building was saved, but the rear portion was badly charred.
 The cabin is said to be owned by Mrs. Faulkner, who is now at Cape Nome roadhouse, and so far as known, was unoccupied. A man who lives in the vicinity of the cabin, saw two men running from the cabin after it was dis covered to be on fire. He asked them what the trouble was, and they truth fully answered that the cabin was on fire. They were not again seen so far as known. The cabin contained noth. ing of value.

IN VERY FEW DAYS
Scrapping Councilman Indulge in Personalities and AmuSe
 the Spectators.

The chairman of the finance com mittee reported at the meeting of the council on Monday night last that the matter of turning over the license money due the city from the general government will be settled within a few days, as told in the last issue of THE NUGGET, and the committee hope to be able to report warrant call at the next meeting. In the meantime they asked that the treasurer do not take any action looking to any warrant call until notified to do so by the finance committee.
 The city clerk reported he had col lected Sl09 in delinquent taxes and licenses for the week ending November l6.
 He also reported as to the overtaxa- tion of citizens as ordered by the coun- cil, and rebates were allowed as follows: K. T. Pilkiugton, $l5. 75: A. Anderson, $26.20; Robert English, $l9.50; C. l.. Morris, $26.25; Bole X Beaver, ll.25; Thos. Gregory, $7.50
 Calvin, as chairman of the fire com mittee suggested that $50 worth of piping be purchased for the purpose of heating the fire building. He thought It would be the means of saving four or five tons of coal this winter. besides heating the building better. The fire committee was instructed to look into the matter and report at next meeting
 The finance committee recommended that warrants be drawn in favor of the following:
 Special Fire Fund.-G. p. Goggin $4.50; H. o. Butler, $50; Ross X Richardson. 5000; Archer, Ewing & Co.,, S25OO; Alaska Printing Co.,, S7.5O; Taylor X Eaton, s22.OO; $. R. Daven- port, $4.00.
 General Fund. Electric Light Co.,, $92.S0; Kelly X Co.,, $l3.25.
 Hospital Fund. Sisters of Charity, S42.00: taking Capt. Hall to hospital, $l.5O.
 The committee further recommended that general fund warrants Nos. 2046, issued to H. o. Butler, 2045, issued to J. F. Giese, and 2O33, issued to R. Davenport be cancelled and special fire fund warrants be issued to them in lieu thereof. On each of these three items the consideration was to be cash war rant
 It was also recommended that C. V. Morrison be engaged as delinquent tax

 ing Apparel.

It is saying worthy of acceptation, because it is true, that Nome has many well-equipped stores and business houses where one can obtain just what he needs, no matter what 1t lS, at prices that will compare favOrably with those quoted on the outside. These houses need no specific mention.
 During the past two and half years new business, however, in this com munity has achieved such proportions that it is worthy of more than passing notice, since it is one that is of prime necessity in any locality. This is the harness manufactory of George Prosser at 452 Front street. MT, Prosser start ed a small shop in the spring of 1901, but his business grew steadily, owing to the strict attention he paid to 1t and the quality of work which he turned out Recently he bought the ground and building which he now occupies, and turned it into well-equipped har- ness manufactOry and salesroom.
 MT. Prosser has lived in this section long enough to know just what the people require in his line of business. and he has, therefore, equipped his new store with a complete line of goods, in which dog harnesses of various kinds, made in Nome, single and double har- ness for horses, collars for dogs and horses, sleigh bells, bitts, horse blank cts, rugs, lap robes, and in fact every thing which may be found in first class harness establishment. He car ries, besides. q complete stock of sled material, including hickory in strips and in blanks for making sleds; and he also keeps in stock Yukon SledS and basket sleds, known to every muSher of the far North.
 When a NUGGET reporter visited Mir. Prosser's shop yesterday he was hard at work filling orders recently re- ceived, his patrons finding that they can purchase, everything considered as cheaply from him as they can in Seattle or San Francisco.

 The committee further recommended that S450.00 be diverted from the gen eral fund and placed to the credit of the special fire fund, and that Sl00 be likewise transferred from the general fund and put to the credit of the hospi-
 al fund
 Stevens objected to special fire fund warrants being issued to Messrs But ler Giese and Davenport, and stated that they had always been willing to receive general fund warrants, and he didn't see why the new finance com mittee should want to pay cash. Stev- ems threw slur on the new committee, which brought Hill, as chairman of the committee, to his feet. He rose to a point of order. Stevens told Hill to sit on the point. Mayor Bard sustained the point of order.
 Hill then stated that no matter what the finance committee had done in the | past he was not going to play favortes. | Ex-chairman Stevens was no doubt | smarting under his removal. As chair man of the finance committee he ob- | jected to being attacked personally by other councilmen.
 Councilman Stevens again became personal and reflected upon the shape | of Hills head. Councilman Hill an swered that he was pleased his head | wasn't four-cornered, like his brother Stevens headpiece. And the "incident closed"
 Mayor Bard rapped for order, and the report of the committee was adopt ed.
 Councilman Hoxsie stated that, as one of the members of the special com mittee appointed to see the clerk of the court in regard to the matter of | the license money, he was pleased to report that the clerk of the court had | received telegram which would en- able hlm to turn the money over to the | council.
 Councilman Calvin asked that Mr. | Johnson's expenses of $25 the result of injuries received while on duty at d fire laot week, be paid by the council. Referrd to the fire committee.
 Hill asked for roll call on the amend ment to rule l3, as follows:
 "Vacancies Any member of the | council absenting himself for three | regular meetings, without satisfactory excuse, his seat shall be declared va, cant"
 Stevens said he would like to hear the opinion of the city attorney as to whether the council could declare a members s seat vacant.
 The city attorney stated that he was not in position to say
 Hill thought the motion was entirely in order, and on being put was carried unanimously.
