citizens invested money with the

One of our local business men re-
ported that several women. who said
they had money on deposit in our
banks. asked him if he thought it
would he advisable for them to with
draw their funds. He said he had
money i'll the same condition: was
not at all alarmed; would let his cash
remain where it was; that at this

Joseph Chilbcrg recently wrote
from Nome to friends living in this
city, that he is the only Socialist
member of the City Council of Nome:
that he lends his best efforts towards
promoting the welfare of the COM
munity in which he lives. The car
penters wage last summer was 81 %
per hour. Mrs. Chilberg is well and
is still an enthusiastic devOtee of

Neva has improved Us a violinist and
at concerts receives $40 per night for
her efforts in that behalf. Mr.. C.
states incidentally that the days are
getting short in that Northern lati-
tude; that the comrades had invested
800 in Socialists books and litera-
ture to keep their time employed dur
ing the long nights of the coming
winter
