providing for the registration of voters,
which is now in effect: the third ordi-
nance provides for the closing of all
saloons in the town on election day.
There was little discussion on any OF
the ordinances, and they were passed
by a unanimous vote.
Warrants were ordered drawn on the
fire fund Ia cash fund for bills amount
ing to S797.IO.
A petition was read from Messrs.
Waite, Collins, Jensen and Jones, OF

tion from taxes for five years, because
of work done on the Dry creek bridge.
The petition was referred to Council
man Stevens to report.
Stevens inquired if Hills memorial
affidavit committee had reported, but
before he could get an answer, mo-
ton to djourn was carried.

chant swOre that the elements were
threatening, the ocean rough and
angry.
One of the lawyers in argument,
summing up the case, touched upon
the conflict of testimony of the wit
nesses.
Judge De Haven, who is the per-
sonification of patience, and who had
never said word, created a no small
degree Of merriment by quietly inter-
rupting the attorney, saying: "Well,
this is one Of those cases from Alaska.
The court will have to do some guess

Even that much-abused individual
the Swede, is not proof against its
sometime advantages. OF John Erick-
son it has been told that while lying on
a couch in Nome hospital, well nigh
unto death, nursed by one of those
angel-like sisters of mercy, found
strength to ask her why she did not
marry. Her answer was that she had
taken vow never to do so. The fol-
lowing morning the gallant John,
doubtless with flutter in his bosom.
called her to him and said: I've been
thinking of what you told me of why
you did not marry. Couldn't you make
another atfidavit?" j. Fl. L.
