GOOD NEWS
 PARTY HERE

A party of three men arrived from Good News Bay last Thursday. They are Thomas Hughes. Pete Deneen and Dan Cunningham.
 The party fit Good News October p and travelled by boat to the Tulasak where they awaited the freezeup.
 Butte creek, which made the best showing in the Good News district, the arrivals say, produced Sl2,000, $l0,000 of which was taken from 1 below. That claim was the only one able to pay wages, and it only carried width of 40 feet of dirt running 40 cents to the foot, The ground is very easy to work or it could not be made to pay at all.
 Twenty or twenty-five men were in the district when the party left. Five drills were taken there from Nome last summer one of which belonged to Frank WaSkey

whether to pay or not to pay was not fair: the city should pay what it owes. He thought the city attorney had acted fairly in the case, as he saw it. If Mr. Cleveland wanted to be fair he would compromise on the bill.
 Mr. Auten repeated that Cleveland had refused to discuss the proposal to arbitrate. He thought Mr. Roden had given good advice but that no vote should be taken until all the council men were present.
 Mir Roden again explained the legal aspect of the matter. The m'll people at least kept record and as business men it was unlikely they would falsifA their books. He could not advise them to go on with the matter with any hope of winning their case. He strongly advised a St ttlement.
 Mayor Barnes agreed with Mir. Ro den, and was sure that the city would have to pay. They might get into a lawsuit and pay three or four times as much. He advised that the amount be paid.
 A motion was then put that the bill be paid. Five voted in favor and one (Mr. Worden) against the motion, which was therefore declared carried and d warrant for the amount of the bill or dered drawn

Cleveland Mill Account.

It will be remembered that the Cleveland mill submitted an account amounting to $l,092.l0 for slabs and sawdust supplied 10 the city for street work. The council thought the amount unduly large, and deferred action upon the matter from time to time. Eventually the account was sub mitted to the finance committee for consideration and report.
 Investigation showed that of the total amount charged S269S0 was un- supported by vouchers proving delivery. Mir. Cleveland was approached and d suggestion nude that the amount in dispute be arbitrated upon. To this or to any other form of compromise Mr. Cleveland repeatedly objected demand ing a settlement of his account in full. Mir. Cleveland's ultimatum was carried to the council bv the finance committee, whereupon City Attorney Roaen was requested to take the matter up with Mr. Cleveland.
 Mir. Roden went carefully into the account with W. B. Thomas, book Keeper at the Cleveland mill. He re- ported that although no vouchers were available, the books of the mill had apparently been kept in proper man ner and they indicated that the material had been supplied and charged up in the usual manner. Such entries were prima facie evidence that the slabs and slwdust had been supplied 10 the value named, and would be accepted as such in any court of law. In consideration ot this fact and the fact that the city could produce no evidence that the goods had not been received, Mr, Ro den advised payment of the account in frll. Attached to the attorneys state ment was an afi layit made by w. B, Thomas, vouching for the entries.
 In view cf the city attorneys written opinion. Mir. Auten said that the finance committee would make no recommendations, but put it up to the whole council to vote for or against payment of the bill.
 Mir. Worden pointed out that it was contrary to custom to pay under the cir circumstances. The amount could not be collected unless the goods were signed for. He believed the council would be acting illegally by paying.
 Mr Muchler doubted if the amount Of matelial charged for had been sup piled. He would have liked the con- tract for sl09.
 Mir. McDonell believed that the city owed some of bill, and to take a vote

County Superintendent TO Recon-
mend That They Be Installed
for Farmers Convenience.

A novel feature at the teachers in
stitute will be a demonstration next
Tuesday morning at o'clock Of the
Babcock milk tester by Professor J.
school. The demonstration will last
40 minutes altogether. and in the af-
ternoon Professor Johnson will give
lecture on the subject and explain the
test more fully. Professor Johnson
gave a similar test before the Mercer
county institute last Wednesday and
farmers for miles around came to see
the tester in operation and 10 have
samples OF their milk analysed.
TO CONDUCT TESTS.
This test is TO be given with an idea
of interesting the teachers in the mat
ter and the plan is to install the test
ers as a part of the equipment of the
rural schools. Superintendent S. J.
Ferguson is going to recommend >that
a part of the money usually spent on
library books be given over TO the
purchase OF these machines. By means
of the tester the farmers can readily
discover whether or not their cows are
paying for themselves and what cows
are Improbable. The machine is very
the cost of the entire out
fit being only $3.50. The tester was
invented by Babcock at the time he
was in the employ of the State Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, and as he was work
ing for the state he refused to have the
machine patented and as a result they
can be had very cheap. The machine
shows accurately the percentage of
