Roses Greet the
City Fathers

Each councilman, the mayor, the
recorder, the chief of police and even
the lowly newspaper reporters found
a beautiful La France rose awaiting
them at Tuesday evenings session.
The roses were the gift of Councilman
Ware, and we must say that Mr.. Ware
is some florist, with the accent on
the some.
The council plunged into the rou-
tine of business, giving permits for
house moving to parties who are re-
moving houses from the park prop
erty. A requisition for supplies from
the light department was honored. A
proposition from the Chautauqua
Park Association and Mr.. Perozzi in
regard to turning over the sewer
owned by them, which extends from
the creamery to theeconnections near
the plaza, was read and referred to
the sewer committee. Mr. Billings
spoke briefly in support of the own
ers' viewpoint of the proposition. The
owners agree to sell the sewer for
$115 to Mr.. Perozzi, who owns the
greater part, and $50 to the associa-
tion. The sewer in question: includes
S72 feet of siX-inch tile and one man
hole. 1t was the opinion of Mr.. Ware
while talking over this sewer that
the easiest way to provide for the
future would be to construct an eight
inch sewer from the planning mill site
to the creamery, thus providing for
any unexpected increase in the num-
ber of connections. When necessary
the city would merely have to replace
the present Perozzi sewer with an
eight-inch tile.
The matter of keeping the park
comfort stations open was referred
to a committee after much discussion
INDUCED in by Mr. Billings and men,
bers Of the council.
A requisition from the water de-
partment for material which must be
ordered Immediately was passed upon
favorably.
1t seems from discussion which
took place that should the electric
light plant have to shut down for any
cause, before the city would get any
water the water would have to back
up through the plant line, fill up the
reservoir to overflowing and come
down the creek to the intake. Be-
cause of this the water commissioner
advised that fittings be put in at the
plant which would allow of the water
being sidetracked into the mains,
should the plant have to be closed
down. The water committee was
given power to act in the matter as
it was deemed an immediate neces-
sity.
The possibility of purchasing the
Conner property above the reservoir
was discussed and referred to a COM
mlttee Tor investigation. The prop
erty belongs to w. A. Conner and re-
Gently a house which stood on the
place burned. Mr. Connor may posi-
bly, rebuild, but made a proposition
informally to one of the councilmen
which will be looked into.
The street, water and electric light
departments were ordered to sell the
old junk which had collected.
The taking of ferns and flowers
was discussed and the council came
to the conclusion that it would be
necessary to make an example of
someone before the practice will be
stopped.

ALASkA'S HEALTH RESORT
 IS GREAT REJUVENATOR

Robert Isaacson, of Mccarthy, re gently returned from the Goddord health resort, near Sitka.
 "I was amazed" he said, "at the accommodations and the reasonable prices, as well as the curative powers of the warm springs. In time the place is bound to become famous.
 "The rooms are heated by the water from the springs and the temperature is always warm. Baths may be had as often as one desires. Mrs. God dard looks after the dining room. We had fresh eggs, chicken, vegetables clans. several varieties of fish, and table and hOmelike accommodations for $250 per day. It cant be beat wish my voice was big enough to reach all over Alaska and | would shout out the merits of the place so that everyone could hear. One comes away from the place feeling like a new man."

PLUCK" TRIES AN
 UNIQUE EXPERIMENT

Of all periodicals of national indu- cnce, none has been more steadfast in its support of the cause of suffrage than Puck, the famous humorous weekly; and the announcement now comes that the publishers of this cele- brated periodical have turned the en- tire direction of their issue of Febru- aur 2Oth ton sale February 16thD over to the suffrage party.
 The number will be in charge of an editorial board of prominent sunrag ists composed of Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, Mrs Norman DeR. Whitehouse, Mrs. Anne O Hagan Shinn, Mrs. Mar garet Aver Cobb and Mrs. Alice Duer Miller. These leaders have in turn enlisted the editorial support of some of the greatest literary and artistic celebrities of the day. including George Ade, R. l.. L. Goldberg, Richard Le Gallienne, Norman Hapgood Peter Finley Dunne. Charles Hanson, ToWg2, Gertrude Atherton, "F. p. A." James Huneker, Irwin Cobb, John Kendrck Bangs, Wallace Irwin. Julian Street, and a host of others. Unquestionably, the number will carry contributions from the most brilliant galaxy of liter ary stars" ever assembled in a single issue of an American periodical,
 Local suffrage leaders are enthusias- tic over winning the support of a na- tonal periodical to the extent of con trolling it's editorial destines for a special issue. and a number of comedy young suffragists will sell the issue on the streets, recognizing it's power ful propaganda possibilities,
 Newsdealers declare that the ad- vance orders for the number indicate an enormous interest in the suffrage movement and they anticipate no lit tie dimcul y in supplying the greatly increased demand for the Suffrage Number of Puck.
 80 far as I know" writes the editor of Puck to the Times mo other peri odical of national scope has ever do mated an entire edition to the cause of equal suffrage. and we are proud to say that this number is the most brii liant We have ever turned out"

 With the nationwide relief move ment of our children we can turn their minds from destructive murder to helpful lifegiving and build on the terrible need the strongest, most help full race of men and women the world has ever known.
 "The school children are organized, and can begin Immediately on relief work They can raise at least one million dollars without burden of any one as the fund will be raised in small sums-the peoples gift through their children. They can make millions of needed articles of clothing and other things. Working shoulder to shoul- der to offset the influences of organ ized murderous warfare they will feel the quickening helpful impulse of their great life-giving organizations mighty impulse in their lives and a great example to the world They will do more to establish international peace and good will based on kindly acts than years of diplomacy and peace conferences"
 The plan announced is that each child earn or make what he gives, or give from what he has, that he may | feel that he has worked or sacrificed to help. The fund is to be known as the Children of Americas Fund" which boards of education, superinten. dents, teachers and others are urged | to address at Oak Hill Newton Cen, ter, Mass, for working details. One-half o fthe fund is to be used to relieve local suffering, and will be distributed through home charile3 as far as possible. The other hall will be distributed to the sufferers in Europe by the national committee Arrangements have been arranged fol the free transportation to Belgium of all gifts of non-perishable food ol new clothing in packages weighing twenty pounds or more.
