OLD COUNCIL MEETS
 FOR THE LAST TIME

The old city council met for the last time Tuesday evening. There was no business to transact, the only object of the meeting was to hand over the reins of government to their successors. All the new officers have qualified except one councilman and there seems to be some doubt as to whether he is el- igible. R. R. Powers made the dis covery and is prepared to hand down a decision on the quali6ca- tions for holding office under the statutes. In the event of a disqual- ification of any of councilmen elect, it is thought that MT. Powers could be persuaded to accept the appoint ment to fill the vacancy. He was favored with some forty votes dur ing the election, and this alone would justify some pressure being brought to bear upon him.
 The new council will hold their first regular meeting next Tuesday evening and at that meeting they will decide as to the qualifications of their own members. and if there is a vacancy it will be filled by ap- pointment. The new council has the sum of $34O on hand, with un- paid claims amounting to nearly $50.

BROPHY EXPLAINS
 THAT AGREEMENT"

THE NEWS has interviewed Jim Brophy regarding the article puh. lished in the Flagstaff Democrat wherein they quote various para graphs from letters between Brophy and Mir. Brown.
 Brophy claims that Brown enter ed into an agreement with him that in case Williams did not win the purse, Flagstaff was to pay the ex- penses, and he says that Charlie Clarke is witness to it. Brophv claims, and everybody else knows. that Williams did not win. He al- so claims that he entered into an agreement with Brown to bring the two towns together in a friendly spirit and eliminate the antagonistic feeling existing between them. He also promised Brown that if he did pay the expenses of the Williams team while in their city, that he would use every possible influence to see that Williams reciprocated this year when they came for our celebration The bone of contention in the past has been "pay your ex- penses while visiting our city" That is wrong; town of our popu- lation cannot afford to board 12 or Is ball players in a visiting town for three days. A certain amount should be set aside from the purse for each visiting team assuring them their expenses. This is what Bro- phy and Brown entered upon in way, which was taken up too late to be handled by the committee.
 Regarding the flake telegram" Brophy says:
 "There had been a petition circul- ated to celebrate here, but it was not backed by business men of the city. and through the influence of Wm. Rittenhouse it was stopped. Rittenhouse denounced the action, stating that he and the remainder of the business men of Williams had promised to celebrate in Flag staff and that they must keep their promise. The fake telegram was used on certain element to quiet them, but Rittenhouse and several other business men knew why they went to Flagstaff, simply because the business men of Williams prom. ised to celebrate in Flagstaff and to Flagstaff they went, not individ- ually, but in 8 body. they spent their money freely and bet several hundred dollars backing their homo team, and the ga me in the 9th in- hing broke up in riot through the unfairness of Flagstaff um- pire. The Williams business men lost several hundred dollars and although Flagstaff did not win the game, they never squealed and Flag staff to this day kept the money that was bet on an unfinished ga me.
 Brophy claims to have the prom ise from Brown that he would bring his team to Williams this year, and Brown promised that he would see that he brought larger crowd to Williams than came to Flagstaff.
 Brophy says there were over $700 contributed to the base ball fund by the business men of Williams, and in addition to that sum there were $4OO donated through dances. showing that Williams could have paid expenses only for the agree ment entered into by the two man. agers.
 It is regretted that Flagstaff is taking this means to escape coming to our celebration. Last years eel ebration in Flagstaff was decided success financially; but will it be this year without the support of Williams?

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
March 12.-E. P. Perkins,
special agent and lecturer,
engaged in publicity work for
the reclamation service in the
West, received $500 a month
from the Hartman railroads
in addition to a salary OF
$4,000 yearly from the gov
ernment, according to the
testimony this afternoon of
Arthur P. Davis, chief engi-
neer of the reclamation SER
vice.
Davis testimony was given
before the congressional COM
mittee investigating the Bal
linger-Pinchot controversy.
Davis said that the officials
of the service finally learned
of Perkins connection with
the Hartman representatives
and he took to Secretary Bal
hnger the report of the agent
who had made the first inves-
tigation of the matter.
Meanwhile Director Newell
of the reclamation service
had ordered another man to
investigate the case further
and in a letter to Perkins
Newell practically requested
Perkins resignation.

the Hartman lines.
Davis, from the witness
chair, said:
II think I ought to say. in
justice to Secretary Ballin-
ger. that he did not authorize
all that Perkins did, although
the Letter says so.
"After all these things
about Perkins coming to light
does Ballinger still retain
him I'm Chicago?" was ask
ed.
.Yes," replied Davis.
Davis said that Perkins
had always insisted that he
was under the secretary's
jurisdiction and not under
the authority of the reclama-
ton service officials.

FARALLON
SURVIVORS
LOCATED

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
SEWARD, Alaska, March 12.o
After a sixty-three-day battle with
ice, blizzards and hunger, four of
the six men who rowed away from
the wreck of the steamer FarrAi-
Ion January Z, are safe in Seward
today and the remaining two are
safe at Kodiak.
The four men were brought to
Sward on the revenue tug Taho-
ma, which left Seattle February
8, to search for the missing men.
They are: Gus Swanson, Chas.
Nelson, Albert Bailey and Otto
Nelson.
The other two were Charles
Bourne, and Captain Widder,
master of the launch Sea off. +.
For month the Tahoma
searched for the missing men with
never aword. March 7, as the
revenue boat was leaving Karaluk
straits, she spoke the schooner
Matte, whose crew shouted that
the six men had been at Uyak,
leaving there two days ago in a
dory headed for Afognak.
The Tahoma headed full speed
FOR Afognak and there on the
evening OF March 7, found the
men.
The four now are in eSward
and will return to Seattle on the

The men tell a marvellous story
of their two months battle for life
and a final victory.

IN RETURN FOR A POSITION

EXPERIMENTATION 1T WAS
WORKED.

Citizens who meet Representa-
tive Sayre peddling candidate
cards for ex-Commissioner II. !.
McGregor in this campaign may
know that 1t is all right, he has
his pay.
This morning the commission
er's office sent in a notice to the
light department ordering that
Sayre's son be placed on the pay
roll as a lineman's helper.
The light department does not
need him. There is nothing for
him to do. No help was ask ID
for but Commissioner Shelter SIM
ply wants him put to work.
City Electrician Lauzon says he
will not be kept on as there is
no place for him and he does NOT
intend his department shall be-
made the dumping ground for the
friends or families of politicians.
For the last month Sayre has
been assiduously distributing
cards for McGregor and holding
almost daily conference with him
at the city hall. AS a result his
boy goes on the payroll to get the
taxpayers money when there Is
no call for his services.
1t would have been too plain
to put the young man to work
while McGregor was still in office
so he held him of until a few
days after he quit and had Shelter
do the trick instead. This looks
better and accomplishes the same
purpose.
