OVERHEAD WIRES

IF ever Council was up against an
4 issue it is now, with the Diamond
State Telephone Co. We have
no hesitancy whatever III believing
that Council is well able to take
care of themselves and the interests
of the town. These remarks are not
written to arouse any fighting
blood but only to say that the town
is back of them to the finish III see
ing to it that no additional pole
lines are erected on the streets OF
Newark. If the franchise given
the Company last May gives them
the privileges, their representative
claimed Monday night, then revoke
it at once. His none too polite re-
quest for 0. X. on new line on
the North side of Main street from
eastern entrance of town to Chapel
street is, to our mind, only an en-
tering wedge--a precedent. IL II
is granted and the letter Of the con-
tract with the Company so reads,
then even Council can't stop them.
Rv establishing this precedent, the
citizens may well make ready for a
net work of wires over the streets OF
the town. at the option Of the Com
panv. The representative practlc-
ally said that the ordinance was so
worded that the Company had the
right of way OH any street IN town
with the exception Of exact loca-
ton of poles. The copy OF the ordl,
nance was in the Bank safe and
could not be referred to at the
meeting. When the members OF
Council recalled the ordinance but
not according to his Interpretation,
he stoutly contradicted it IN no un-
certain terms. .,
Council has been lenient with
pole line companies and has made
easy their franchise in Newark. In
spite of this, they do not seem to
enter into the spirit of cooperation
They are asking too much: One
street line and one private right OF
wav is sufficient to serve the needs
of this town, even if it is the best
paying telephone Town III the
world.
Citizens, not only along the pro-
posed line but all over the town,
are incensed over the new proposal.
Several inquiries were made at TINS
office yesterday concerning the COM
ments of Council at the meeting. ,
The special meeting will be held
on Monday evening to take up the
matter. If the wording of the ordl-
nance grants this right, we hope 1t
is revoked at once without sem
blance of precedent. A gentle,
straightforward lecture on modern
public utilities would also be IN
order.

 St. Patrick's Day Sweepstakes
 The course of the race will be twice around the Iditarod-Tlat City Discovery Otter City course distance of about 62 miles. This race, which is the big event of the Kennel Clubs annual series, promises to be of unusual interest this year, as teams are expected to arrive from distant com mUnities to enter the contest. Secretary George Marah of the club recently received communications from Ruby and Takotna stating that those towns could be counted on to show" fast teams. In all probabil- ity E. Coke Hill will arrive here from Ruby with strnig of Heetfcots, and Eddie Ander- son, the Yankee creek trader will undoubt- eGly come from Takotna with a team that has won over everything in that part of the territory. This district may be depended on to enter at least five crackerjack teams, and it will require some good swift travehng to beat the slowest of them.
 The race will be for a purse of not less than $500, and if the club can see its way clear to increase the size of the prizes it will certainly do so

the cry of fire was heard many rushed to the scene to render what assistance was possible. Ivan Wales said when he rushed in he met a man coming out crying, "It's no use; it's too far gone" and when he saw The room he thought so too. But after quick and hard work they succeeded in smothering the fire with water and blankets. It was a windy day, and if the hospital had burned the whole town would have been in danger As it was, the ceiling and the side walls of the room received the only damage. Mrs, Jacobsgaard said her loss was so small it wasn't worth speaking of.
