DR.. Edward w. Stitt, District Sup
srintendent of Schools Of New York
City, writes an instructive article for
the Association Seminar, on "Recre-
alton as a Cure for City Evils In
opening DR.. Stitt quotes approvingly
the words Of Mayor Gaynor, Cities
are just now waking up to the fact
that clean souIed and strong-limbed
young people are as important to the
moral health Of city as clean streets
are to its physical health.
On this text DR.. Stitt proceeds to
build an interesting discussion of his
theme. He speaks Of the rapid trend
Of the population toward the cities
and Of the dangers that grow out Of
his congestion Of humanity. He says:
Perhaps the greatest dangers Of
city life are to be found in our New
York streets so crowded by vehicular
trafIic as to make most outdoor play
impossible to the children. Last year
43S persons, including 1S9 children,
were killed, and 1904 were injured by
automobiles, wagons and electric cars.

danger to the morals Of our young

lower order Of dance balls.
The frequent removal Of the poor
working people from one apartment to
another prevents the fostering Of any
sentimental regard or affection which
they may have for their living rooms

Those Of you who have been blessed
with a long residence in the same

of the loss which many people suffer
from being deprived of this precious
privilege. For many adults, as well as
for children, the school buildings

Thousands of parents are unable to
give their children proper training as

HERD OF REINDEER
 ARRIVED THURSDAY

Bringing herd of 34 reindeer for Sam Appelbaum, the Iditarod commission merchant, Peter Bal> arrived from Unalakleet via Kalta g yesterday, after two weeks spent OH the journey, The herd was halted three miles below town, where the animals are now being butchered and dressed for the mai ket.
 Ill spite to the lorg journey over the trail, the reindeer were in prime condition on arrival, being fat and sleek. One of the herd is pure white. They tip the scales at all average of 15o pounds.
 The meat will be put on the market imm mediately, but will only be sold by the side. MT. Appel baum says the price will be reason able, so that every body will be able to indulge in juicy reindeer chops next week.
 Peter Balls was one of the first white men brought to Alaska by the United States government for the purpose of giving instruction in reindeer breeding to the Eskimos, and was given herd of reindeer in part payment for his services.

 MEETING

When last Wednesdays council meet ing was called to order Mayor J. D. Barnes addressed the members on a subject which had been engaging his attention for some time. He pointed out that meetings had been conducted hitherto regardless of form and parlia mentary rules of order. He thought business would be facilitated if stricter regulations were observed, and laid down few rules which he thought should govern them in future.
 The mayors remarks were appreci- ated by the balance of the council, who recognized the need, and future meet ings will be conducted strictly accord ing to Roberts.
 Hardly had the mayor resumed his seat when it became necessary, at the instance of Councilman Smith, to call a thoughtless brother to order, but since that time the rule has worked well

Fire PrOte CtiOn

Councilman Acheson stated that he had interviewed Ben Rowland several times regarding the use of the boiler, but had been unable to come to terms so far. In his opinion the city could secure standing pressure at all times for Sl00 month.
 Mayor Barnes and Councilman Smith supported the idea if funds could be found to meet the expense. MT. Smith thought it was the duty of the council to secure protection from fire and inn pose whatever taxes might be necessary to cover the expense.
 Councilman Bayles pointed out that the biggest merchants opposed all ex- penditures for fire protection, saying they did not need it. He also referred to the financial status of the city, and expressed himself as against mourning any further expense at all. The pres ent arrangements were ample.
 Councilman Acheson pointed out the great danger that would exist if a fire came and there was no water to handle it. The smallest amount of water had it been available, would have saved Idtarod from the two seri- ous fires experienced.
 At the council meeting held Tn urs day the matter of fire protection was further discussed A communication was read from Ben Rowland offering to provide water at all times in return for monthly payment in advance of S10O, a case of coaloil and supply of tallow.
 Commissioner Albrecht, who was present at the meeting, was questioned regarding the legality of such pro- ceeding. He pointed out that the account could not be audited before the seavice had been rendered, therefore the idea was not workable.
 Eventually the matter was referred back to the fire committee with full power 10 act.

CHRISTMAS TOYS
 FOR THE CHILDREN

That the children of Iditarod and district will be surfeited with toys this Christmas season is the opinion of those who have examined the sources of supply. Two stores there are in Iditarod that have displays calculated to bring joy to every child's heart, while the mechanical toys have given such pleasure to grownups that the storekeeper is kept busy all day exhib- iting them.
 The Northern Commercial Company is making a specially of toys this year and has variety of fine dolls and dolls houses, A B c blocks, rope toss CTS, zig-zag games, washtubs and boards, dark lanterns, squeaking dolls, buzzers, airguns, watches and picture books Then they have whole men agere of animals, including teddy bears, rabbits, dogs, etc. Already a, large proportion of the toys has been disposed of, and those who want to make gifts to their little friends must make haste.
 William Ansley's big store on Rich mond street is in holiday attire, and he has fine display of toys and other hol- iday goods, Bills specially this year is the mechanical toy, and he has won derful assortment. There are airships with car and revolving screw complete dancing niggers, skipping eques- triennes, women feeding chicks, and others running away from mice, etc.
 Last year there was scarcely a toy in the camp, but this season the children are being as we'll served as if they were living in some great metropolis.
 Hurst Bros, of the Imperial cigar store, are also making specially of Christmas candies in boxes or in bulk. As they are overstocked low prices prevail, and purchasers should look them up.
 Mrs. T. L. Thurston, of the Postoffice candy store, will be very busy the next two weeks filling orders for home made candies. The Postoffics candy store has made a great reputation, and you must order early if you do not want 10 be disappointed,
