Council to Hold
 Regular Meeting

For their last meeting in th, month of October, the municipal councilmen of the city of Fairbank. will gather this evening at the city hall. Mayor Nerland stated Satur- day that the meeting would be of a routine nature, as there is very :, little business of importance to be brought up.
 However, it is stated that the matter of calling for the resigna tions of the two members of the Failbanks school board who are absent from the city, is to be brought to the attention of the city fathers. It is stated that, while the council has every confidence in the ability of the one member of the school board now in Fairbanks u handle affairs, if is thought that three members, as provided by law are necessary.
 Accordingly, the matter will be dis cussed this evening. ard, if it IS decided that the absent members of the school board are no longer residents of Fairbanks and do not intend to return here to stay any length of time, special election may be decided upon. Those who are absent are the treasurer I. E. Moody, and the director, P. \. Knowlton, the former being in the Tolovana and the latter now on his way Outside.

CORRESPONDENCE
Valdez, Alaska.


 September 20, 1915. To the Editor of The Citizen:
 My attention has been called to an editorial ill The Alaska Citizen under date of August 30 entitled That Cinema Trail" The statement that "a good summer road could have absurd as scarcely to merit atten- tion, when it is considered that only 5000 was available for the work This trail is 64 miles long, which gives an average expenditure of but SIS per mile, which is too scant for even a winter trail under ordi, nary conditions.
 The general route followed was that suggested and urged by pros ptctors and miners in the district and by persons who were interested in securing means of ready access to the region. The work of con- tructing the trail was in direct nharge of MT. John c. Wood now Deputy U. S. Marshal, an old timer n the Fairbanks district and an ex- perienced and competent foreman, several of his men were prospectors and woodsmen who were personally interested in the district and famili ar with the country At the time Of it's construction three years ago no criticisms were made of the trail which were not favorable and none have since come to my atten- ton until now
 Reference to the location of the Tolovana road is also noted in your editorial columns. The Road com mission does not object to legiti mate criticism and has always been glad to receive and consider suS- oestions offered in connection with all new projects. The commission and it's representatives have no other desire than to respond to the wishes of the people in such matters, when ever 1t can be done, and to give them everything they need in the way of roads and trails. but cannot do this without adequate funds; and united and harmonious action on the part of individuals, news paners and commercial bodies toward securing these funds will be more effective it is believed. than unmer- ited criticism such as noted above
 Respectfully
 JOHN ZIG I am sending copy of this let ter to the Times,
 J. 2.

Large Amount Is
 Expended On Roads

When all of the work for the
 year has been completed, It will
 be found that the Alaska Road com,
 mission has spent in the neighbor
 hood of s6e,O00 on the roads of the
 Fourth division, according to the
 statement of R. J. Sommers, the
 local superintendent of the commits
 sion This amount Is exclusive of
 the sum of s5.000 raised by the citizens of Fairbanks toward tt
 construction of road to the Tolo vana country. and also has nothing
 to do with the sum of s11.0OO spent } nlocal roads by Territorial Road Overseer H. II. Ross
 At the present time the figures
 compiled by the road commission show that the sum of $44,484ls
 has already been spent Fully 80 per cent of the money has been spent In labor the balance being used toward the buying of supplies at the various towns, all of the merchants having been given an opportunity to bid on them.
 Alaska for Alaskans" has been
 the policy of the road commission.
 and therefore nobody but Alaskans
 have been employed in the road work
 during the past summer Over 15G
 men have been working most of the time in various places, and 10 teams have been employed during the greater part of the summer. With the exception of the allot
 ment made for the Tolovana road and for a little work which is to be done on the Big Cinema hot springs trail in the near future, the money expended this year is practically the same as last. How
 ever, the $10,000 which will have
 been expended in Tolovana roae
 construction work will have ma
 terially increased the expenditures
 of the road commission in the Fourth
 division.
 Aside from the places already
 mentioned. road work was done at
 Circle. Eagle. Rampant, Hot Springs,
 Iditarod, Ruby and on the Koyukus trail out of Panama.

.MADCE JORDAN
 BECOMES BRIDE
 OF I'M. SCOTT
YOUNG COUPLE WERE MADE ONE ON SATURDAY
 EVENING.

Culminating probably more char acteristic frontier romance than was was ever the experience of many FairbankSans to witness, in fact one the like of which is very rarely heard of or read about outside the covers of novels MT. Frank NJ Scott. the local jeweler, and Miss Madge Jordan became man and wife Saturday evening. The ceremony was performed by Rev George G. Bruce. at the Presbyterian manse. at 8 o'clock Miss Hazel Wattles was bridesmaid, while the groom was supported by R. w Calderhead ceremony were Mrs. Caldelhea1 ard Mrs Bruce. At the conclusion of the ceremony refreshments were ding party then repaired to the Calderhead residence, where the new lywed5 began to receive the congrat ulations of their hosts of friends
 Except in town, neither MT nor Mrs. Scott ale well known in this community, as neither has long been a resident of the city However
 in their circle of friends in Fairbanks proper. both are very popular
 MT. Scott came here last sprin2 to act as manager for the local
 ewelry store of w. H. Mendham. Shortly after his arrival he joined the Fairbanks Tennis club. and. as an enthusiastic exponent of the gane, could be seen on the Shaw House courts almost any evening during the engagement hera of the Juvenile Bostonians, of which con- pany his bride was then a member.
 It was through seeing each other at the tennis courts and meeting at his place of business that the couple became acquainted, to say '0thina of the evenings when, after his tennis game was over, Mir Scott would go from the courts to the Auditorium, just across the street, to see the Bostonians ner form for it was really there that the most versatile dancer in the entire trcune literally tripped her vGv into his heart.
 Playing their dates the BCstonians departed from Fairbanks. Many were the farewells said on the dock just before the steamer pulled out but there were none who took a longer time to say good by" than Madge Jordan and Frank Scott.
 And that was where Dan Cupid stepped in, for, although the Bos tonians left Fairbanks. presumably not to return at least for two years he flew back and forth betweer
 1'r -teamer as che piled the mightv Yukon. and Fairbanks. carrying his wireless messages, and, under his insistent applications, Miss Jordan was induced to resign her position at Dawson. She returned to Fair, banks on the next boat. and has since made her home with MT. and Mrs R. W. Calderhead
 For the next few days MT. and Mrs Scott will live at the Calder head residence. They will. however remove shortly to the Drury resi- dence, on Fifth avenue, where they will be at home to their friends al CT Novembr l.

Haggren or dered the suits as soon as he start ed to build the natatorium, in Au- gust, but they had to be made to order and were consequently late in reaching here.
 They are flrsL tlass in every re spect. Smiths Gun Store has also received a consignment of swimming costumes which have been placed on sale.
 Large crowds continue to patro nize the natatorium nightly Spe- cial days and hours are set aside for all sizes and sexes of bathers. and consequently everybody has a chance to get into the big pool lle womens afternoons each week are particularly well patronized

NEW LAUNDRY
 OPENS DOORS
 THIS MORNING
NEW BASEMENT READY TO ~~ A LARGE
 BUSINESS.

Announcement was made yester day to the effect that the New Cascade Laundry on lower First avenue, next to Stein's store, will be open for business this morning for the first time. It's proprietors Jack Raymond ana Sterling K. Stew art, two experienced laundrymen, who have long made Fairbanks their headquarters
 The establishment itself is pre-
 to do a large volume of busi- ness. New machinery, ordered dur ng tho summer, has been installed, md the place otherwise present 5 the apparance of an up-to date laun- dry in every respect.
 One feature enlarged upon by the proprietors Of the new place Is the washer. According to their state nent, it is one of the best ever shipped north. as 1t Is equipped to handle the finest silks and other fabrics without danger of tearing or otherwise mutilating them.
 The delivery wagon will be the most attractive vehicle in the ctv for delivery purposes, excellent pic lures adorning 1t. The painting on each side is of ia waterfall which looks as if it wouldl, in real ac- ton, supply enough water to run several laundries. The work was done by Herman Anderson. and re quired considerable of his time fo- the past several days. MT. Ray mond speaks particularly of the waterfall picture, as he says that his delivery and order wagon will be known everywhere in town by the painting; by the motto which is also painted on the side and by he name of the concern: "The New Cascade Laundry" which will be painted as though 1t came out of the spray of the waterfall
 The proprietors of the new laun- dry guarantee that nothing but first class work will ever be allowed to leave their establishment In fact. they state that if 1t isn't good they will make it good. The utmost care will be taken to see that nothing is lost, but should 1t be, the con cern will make up the loss to the customer
 Mrs Florence McQuilken has been engaged as chief laundress by the new concern. She has conducted a hand laundry of her own in Fair banks for number of years. and is therefore we'll known here in that capacity.

THE CREEK MYSTERY.

The Bulgarian and Turkish papers are devoting much anxious atten- tion to Greece and her vacillating policy toward the allies. The semi that MT. Venizelos, despite bis huge majority in parliament. is unable to swing the Greeks to the side of the allies because of the kings oppo sition:
 Now, it is notorious that the king, while he agreed to the forma tion of Nenizelist ministry be- cause he had no alternative, did not accept MT Nenizelos' program Therefore MT. Venizelos succeeds to the legacy left by MT. Gounaris in tact, and will, like his predecessor seek a solution for an insolubl'- problem"

 What has happened to Greece Greece has till now been regarded as the friend of the allies, but how does it happen that the kaiser and his empire are today acclaimed ir the theatres and on the streets ot Athens9 After the fall of Veni- zelos the king saved his country from becoming the plaything of the Entente Till then the Western Powers had deceived the Greeks by a thousand devices, especially by the claim that they were the protectors of the weaker states. In the meantime, while Venizelos was out of office, matters have changed The map of Europe has been remade The veil has been lifted from the face of the Entente.

Harry J. Bentley was given a ver- dict in the sum of s3,000 in his rui' for damages against J. P. Rose laSr week in district court. In rendering the verdict the jury recommended that the sum of $1,250 be set aside for the education of the young man, but the recommendation does not mean that his guardian is compelled to abide by it's provisions.

BUSINESS IS
 ON |NCREAS
 IN INTERIOR
FIGURES SHOW INCREASE OF BUSINESS OVER THE
 YEAR 1914.

That business was better during the quarter ending October J of this year than it was in the correspond ing quarter last year. is learned from a careful comparison of the figures of moneys taken in at the office of the clerk of court of the fourth division. and the reports rendered thereon by said office. The figures show that S4,000 more was taken in at the clerks office this year in licenses than was taken in last year.
 The entire amount taken in last year was s34,72640. Of this amount SIP ,S1140 went to the government as money for licenses issued in un- incorporated towns The collections N. year amounted to $3S,62325 as a total. the government getting S17,24045. The increase in busi- ness without the limits of incorpo- rated towns was therefore S4429.05.
 The places among the incorpo- rated towns not showing an increase in business are Cinema, Iditarod and Eagle. In the former place $4,930 was collected during the September quarter of 1914, while in 1915 but
 
 to the town for the licenses issued within it's boundaries. The defi- ciency was therefore s453 in compari- son. The deficiency at Eagle was $50, as the licenses issued there in 1914 amount to SLIGO, while this year the sum of s1.050 was turned over by the clerk. The greatest deficiency was at Cinema, where the receipts last year were $2,015, while this year they were but s1,055S0, showing a decrease in revenues oI S959.20.
 Fairbanks shows an increase of business to the amount of $92O. Last year her license receipts dur ing the quarter were s11,360, while this year they were s12,280. Tana- na shows gain of S10 over last year, when the receipts were s2,150.
