This action was decided on at
a meeting of the committee having
his event in hand and report of the

at least shortly after the Inaugural

be the means of giving this section

There is one man In town WHO has
his doubts. Lars Hauge. the green.

spooks or else Fairbanks has dishon.
est people within its confines.
Recently Hauge came into pos.

hanging in his cabin. Thinking that
it had thawed out more than was
good for 1t. he hung 1t out to &C

The city council met at its cham
bers last Friday evening and in the
course of business brought before
it decided to take some steps in the
matter of filling the vacancy to the
Legislature caused by the resignation
of J. J. Mulalley. This matter will
be brought TO the attention of Gov
Clark. who it is expected, will pro
vide some means whereby the dele
cation from here will attend the
meeting with its full quota of mem
bers
1t is held that Mr.. Mulalley was
out of the district at the time of
his election. which was made under
his protest and his name could be
thrown out as an elected member
On this representation the governor
will be asked to substitute in his
stead the next nearest man on the
ballot, Bernard Estby.
Mr. Estby will undoubtedly accept

completed his work on the books

report:

local institutions ability as bank
