NO SHORTAGE OF TURKEYS
SUPPLY WILL BE EQUAL TO THE
DEMAND HERE.
Earlier Predictions Not Borne Out
By Later Figures Price Will
Rule About as Usual.

Reports from various sections of the
country contradict the early reports
that the crop of turkeys will be
short this year. Larger receipts in
the cities during the last few days in
dictate that there will be plenty of
turkeys here for Thanksgiving day.
The price. it is thought, will also be
lower than early reports indicate, and
the feeling now is that retail prices
will range around % cents a pound.
Receipts of poultry were heavy and
prices were somewhat stiff but now in
anticipation of the Thanksgiving de-
mand, which will begin later this
week, together with only moderate Of
ferings, prices are higher. Durins
the latter part of last week live tur-
keys were quoted at IA cents pound
wholesale.

WILL CONSIDER
MORE ORDINANCES
COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT TO
TAKE UP DIFFICULT
TASK.
MAY FIX THE OFFICIALS SALARIES
Ordinance Governing Duties of Board
of Health to BE Also Con-
Sidered.
WAY FIX THE OFFICIALS SALARIES

The city council will hold a regu-
lar meeting tonight, when the matter
of considering the various ordinances
will be taken up.
Probably the most important ordi-
nance is that fixing the salaries of
the city officials. The matter will
probably be given further considera-
tion tonight. AS stated in the News
the council arranged the salaries
last Thursday night, but did not
adopt the ordinance. Whether the
city fathers will adopt the ordinance
as it now reads or whether they in
tend to make any changes has not
been stated. 1t is stated by some
that the city will make great mis-
take in fixing the salaries at the
figures suggested. These argue that
the population and duties of the Off
cials do not warrant such salaries,
while others say there are so many
matters to be attended to that good
salaries should be paid.
The salaries as proposed by the
council are as follows: Mayor, 5000;
city councilmen, 5000; treasurer,
SDUU, CITY Clelh, PlooU, maj ohdi
$500; police judge, $1,000 and city
attorney, $500.
Another ordinance that will be
taken up is that governing board OF
health. According to the ordinance
as it now reads the board of health
shall consist of three members, to be
appointed by the mayor, with coun-
ellis approval. The city physician
shall be one of the members of the
board.
The board is to notify persons OF
any nuisances, to condemn all fruits
and vegetables that are not good and
to enforce the quarantine in cases
where an infectious disease prevails
The city marshal can be called upor
to assist the board in enforcing the
quarantine law.
A quarterly report must be sub
mitted to the council giving an ac
count of the sanitary condition of the
city, the number of deaths and conta
gious disease cases, if any.
The salaries to be paid the mem
bers of the board has not been fixed
but may be decided upon tonight.

NJ. III. WICKS LOCATED TEN
CLAIMS THAT SHOW UP

M. H. Wicks arrived from Whis-

he had most successful prospecting
trip while in that locality
Mr.. Wicks states he located ten
claims that run $25 in gold and have
a good showing of copper. He spent
some time in that country before
making the discovery and, of course,
is elated over his good fortune. He
has no doubt that the mine will
prove even much richer further
down, his samples having been TAX
en- from close to the surface.
Mr.. Wicks will leave in a few days
for the east, where he intends to en-
deayor to interest capital in his
proposition. He is desirous of organ
izing a stock company and of work
ing the property and he feels certain
that after little development the
mine will be one of the biggest pro
positions in that section of the coun-
