THE CITY
 COUNCIL

Editor NUGGET: In all phases of life self-interest isthe predominating spirit, and there are always two sides to any question or proposition. The purchase of the Hoxsie lot by the city council and putting thereon building, at double the cost to the city for which a good location without clouded title, and a good building could be secured, while it may be beyond recall does not excuse the people and taxpayers from not awakening to the situation, and not to be caught mapping by any schemes of private interest at the expense of the city.
 The proposition quietly being worked up by which some members of the pre- sent city council propose to extend their term of office. is piece of monu- mental gall.
 The widening of Hunter way, the opening of Second street, and Lane's alley as well to width of 20 feet be- tween Front and Second streets, would be good policy, the most important of these thoroughfares in my opinion being the latter, because of the danger of fire. This can be done easily.
 While it might be good policy to change the date of holding the munich pal election, it must be done in a legal way.
 Insofar as street planking is con- cerned believe that it would be better policy, and make more permanent streets, to use the gravel found here in abundance, thus saving good deal of money, and keeping a large sum at home, which would otherwise be sent to the outside for the purchase of planking.
 Tho removing of the women of the under world from the present location out into the open, where it would be more noticeable, like sore thumb on the hand: where men in liquor might stagger across respectable thorough fares to reach the place from the saloons does not appeal to me. If such quar- ter is a necessary evil in a city and as annexes to liquor saloons, would it not be better to keep these women together and open streets so that ladies while going to and from church, etc., may go directly, instead of having to pass the doors of saloons and brothels. Perhaps this may be scheme to turn the upper stories of some of the saloons and dance halls, which employ women, into bro thels, where the hard earnings of the miner may be more easily obtained, when he "blOws" in.

Freight ConsignmentS llO,7SO Tons, Valued at Sn,O75,OOO
 -5553 Passengers.

Seattle. Oct. 25.-Five thousands i've hundred and ffty-three people were dispatched and 1lO,75O tons of freight, valued at $ll,O75,00o were shipped from Seattle to Nome and the lower Yukon districts during the season of 1903.
 As regards the movement ot ooVh freight and passengers to Nome' the season closed October F with the oe- narture of the steamship oregon, the last vessel to leave any port for the la mons oold fields. While the volume o1 bnsiness in the memorable rush of l9oo was larger. this has been one ot the most profitable seasons in the history oi the district, as the figures will sho" when the last vessel returns from Nome.
 In this article only the freight ana passengers that Seattle has sent to Nome and her adjacent districts are shown. The figures are as reliable as if is possible for such data to be, the Post-Intelligencer having rellglously noted from day to day the departure oi each vessel, the number of passengers taken and the amount of cargo carried.
 The goods shipped are valued on the basis of Sl00 per ton for general mer- chandise, an estimate generally accept' cd hv all mercantile statisticlans.
 Concerning the passenger ana irelsh' charpes. the most conservative estl- mates have been followed. The pas senper rates to Nome this season ran all the way from s3O second class to S125 for a first cabin passage. On the first sailing voyages the larger ana more comfortable vessels got S'o ana s1OO first class and $40 second class. Later in the season first class tickets were to be had for S50.
 Freight rates ranged all the way from S7 to $22. 50 per ton. As rule the latter figure was obtained on lum- her and double-compressed hay. Rates on coal dropped to very low hgure' some having been delivered on the beach at Nome for Sl0 and lower.
 The appended table gives the num- Der of passengers, amount of cargo value of freight, etc., shipped to Nome from this port during the season Just closed:
