City Fathers Discuss
 Money With FinancierS

An important meeting of the city council was held last night at the Court house, whereat they discussed the matter of the city's credit with the representatives of three of the city's main business institutions. Upon the result of the meeting practically de- pended the fate of the fire department and it's early installation, and therefore the conference was lengthy one.
 The main question agitating the minds of the city dads was their ability to get credit on the city's running ex- penses next fall, if they use the funds that will be available next month for the fire department. This expenditure will be in the neighborhood of $10,000 and is absolutely essential, if the city is to have any fre-fghting apparatus.
 Mr. Chas. Ross of the NJ. & NJ. bank, c. J. Hurley, of the American bank and John Duncan of the Northern Com mercial company were there and after the council had expressed their wants, each was called upon to tell what he could do. They declined to answer off hand but indicated they would be able to turn in a favorable report this evening.

Camp [0sos We'll
 Known Hello Girl

Finding it necessary to leave the Iditarod on account of her health, Miss Marg garet Haley, one of the best known and most popular telephone girls of the north, left this city Thurs day evening on board the steamer Re liance, and will proceed directly to her home in Salt Lake, going by way of St. Michael.
 The camp will greatly miss this gra- cious young lady who has listened so patiently to the complaints of its people for the last year, and who for merly knew most of Iditarod inhabit- ants in the Fairbanks district. She was stationed at Cleary for long time and has always been avalued employee of the Fairbanks and the Iditarod telephone companies.
 Some weeks ago she became i'll through overdose application to her duties, and finally decided that she would go to her home for long rest. It will be interesting to observe whether or not the lure of the north will again claim her for it's own.

With eyes cast on the Ruby creek strike, and longing look toward the Innoko, it now begins to become ap- parent that the Guggenheims will soon have control of all the placer ground in the country.
 It is perfectly well understood here that parties representing them were among the first stampeders to Ruby city, and that transactions have already been made there in contem plation of turning the ground over to the syndicate
 Bill Hunter, one of the old-timers of the lnnoko, who has been there five years, and who found the $500 nugget on Gaines creek, came to Iditarod last week and returned a few days ago. On his return journey he was accom- panied by Sam Sanderson, who IS alleged 10 represent Tom Aitken in tying up all of Gaines creek he can. Billy Wise also accompanied Hunter, going, so it is understood, for the pur- pose of talking over business with Otter creek property owners who ara over there. In addition to this, report has it that Hunter gave an option to Tom Aitken on all of his property in the Innoko.

 About Wednesday Night

According to the present frameup at wireless headquarters, the plant will be ready for tryout next Wednesday night, when the invisible fingers of the mysterious current will reach out to tickle the antennae at the Gibbon station and thus establish Iditarod's first direct connection with the Outside world.
 General Manager Milligan stated this morning that the instruments were practically installed and that the chief work yet to be done is the raising of the huge pole which is four feet square at the base, and which rises by diminishing sections to a height of l50 feet. Four smaller poles have been set out at four corners of square some distance from the pole to act as guy lines and ''feelers."
