City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 22, 1915.

While the present Snake River bridge Is as glaring an example or municipal blindness as one can well expect to see in this neck of the woods. at the same time we can derive some consolation, while viewing that utter ly and wholly incomprehensible structure, by the thought that We are not alone in possessing a sample of been the management that inflicted this costly oddity on the community. itl appears that all three of the principal coast cities, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. are also in the same plight in regard to civic Improvements that were enormously costly and did not improve where improvement was intended. Seattle, it appears, ex- pended hundreds of thousands of dol lars in building dam for the inn pounding of water for the uses of the city only, to discover. when it was too late to rectify the absurd mistake. that while it was most excellent dam from the point of view of the engineers. at the same time it would not hold water because of having been located in what is termed "a natural seive" While the dam will hold a portion of the water impounded, the supply so secured is hardly more than adequate for the present uses and the problem of supplying water in sufficient quantity
 to meet the needs of future years is no nearer solved than before its erction, and the dam which was expected to be adequate for the water needs of many generations yet to come will be prac- tically useless in few years. Yet. wlthal. this example of municipal ab- erration is hardly equal to the case of civic light -headedness developed by Los Angeles, which city has expended an enormous sum in the construction of water system which it cannot use at all at the present time and possibly not for many years to come. It ap-
 pears that the city had q useable water system but desired to provide for the future needs of it's population and therefore proceeded to expend the sum of $25,O00000 in the construction of a
 system of aqueducts for carrying
 water from point two hundred and T fifty miles away. The system was commenced in 1907 and did not reach

YALE STUDENTS HERE
 FOR FACTORY TEST
Stanley Works to Be Run By Sons of Eli for AS
 Hours.

Through the efforts of E. w. Pel- ton, and the courtesy of the officials of the Stanley Works, thirty five stu dents in the Sheffield Scientific school are to have an opportunity of increasing their knowledge, when they will come to this city tomorrow and commence a period of actual tests of the boilers and engines at the plant This will be the first time that students have ever been afforded a similar chance in this city collec- lively and Professor Breckenridge Of the school is grateful for the oppor- tunity offered by the concern.
 The men will be divided into five shifts and it will take about forty eight hours for the complete course of study, to be put through. Accom- panying the students will be instruct ors Swain, Seward and Prentice of Yale, who will be in charge of the test.
 A number of the men are post-grad- uates of the Scientific school and the remaining members of the senior class. The authoritiC, of the school have during the past few years urged many of their graduates to return to school for it. is felt that in some cases the three years course is not sufficie t to qualify some graduates : practical work.
 Stanley Works officials will follow closely the tests to be made by the students, and will invite them to re- turn next spring to make a compara- tive test. In this manner the com- pany will be in a position to know ex- actly in what condition the boilers and engines are.

MUNICIPAL ICE NOT
 A FINANCIAL SUCCESS
It Cost 5000 More to Harvest Crops in Two Years Than Entire Re-
 ceipts Totalled.

Has the municipal ice venture of the city of New Britain been a suc- cess?
 This question is answered by tho report which Comptroller H. L. Cur tis will present to the ice committee and the water commissioners tonight. The report will show that the ex- pense of harvesting the ice alone for the past two years was $500 in excess of the entire receipts.
 The report will also show that there is not balance of $1,2OO in the treasury for the ice department. Last year 1,5O0 was borrowed from the health departm ment with the under standing that what was not used was to be returned. Of this amount S1. 900 was counted as estimated income by Treasurer Chamberlain when he was compiling a statement for the board of finance and taxation at the beginning Of the year.
 It is believed the committee to- night will recommend that the ice plant be abandoned for a year and ice bought out of freight cars in this city The city can buy ice for $1.75 8 ton and sell it for $2, holding the re- tailers under obligation to sell it not higher than thirty cents per hundred weight.

Balkans Dominate Situation.

London, Dec. 1, 11:45 a. m.--The Balkan states continue to dominate both the military and the diplomatic situation in Europe. Runania's at titude apparently is causing the Gen. tRal Powers great uneasiness, while Greece's refusal to limit her military effectiveness, as requested by the en- tente, is of equal concern to those powers.
 Rumania is said to be only await ing the presence in the Balkans of preponderant entente military forces before dispatching an ultimatum to Austria, and German military critics, according to dispatches reaching Lon don. express considerable dissatisfac- lion with conditions in the Balkans predicting both military and diplo- matic difficulties ahead despite the brilliant Serbian campaigns of Field Marshal Won Mackensen. Moreover if is reported that Austria is opposed to the possibilities of Bulgarian domi- nation of the Balkan states and it is suggested that desire to forestall any friction in this connection was re-

CLOTURE PROBLEM FOR
 SENATE DEMOCRATS
Reelection of Clark As Pres ident Pro TempOre Ap-
 parently Assured.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Senate de- nocrats wrestled further with the problem of cloture when they resumed their caucus today. At the same time democrats of the house ways and means committee continued their task of readjusting the committees to provide places for the enlarged re- publican minority
 The senate caucus proceedings gave promise of being enlivened when Chairman Owens of the special rules committee submitted a report recoIn- mending a modified form of limita- ton on debate. Although Chairman Owens had expressed the belief that a cloture rule would be approved by the caucus and later by the senate, opposition was considered certain from some of the democrats on the ground that the question should not be made a party issue and further that the senate should not bind it. self with restrictions similar to those in the house.
 A rule has been prepared by cham i pions of cloture limiting each senator to three hours general debate on a siven measure and fifteen minutes on amendments, with no extension Of tune except by unanimous consent The reelection of senator Clarke of Arkansas as president pro tempore l of the senate apparently was assured, despite the revolt last season against the ship purchase bill. A voice chairman of the caucus also was to be chosen. The names of Senators Pomerene of Ohio, and Lewis had teen mentioned for the place
 While the ways and means com i1ittee has not half completed its work, Chairman Kitchin said he ex- pected to finish by Friday. The work must be done in time for the house democratic caucus Saturday night.

 Carranza officials were reported to have received advices that Frontiras, twenty-two miles south of Agua Prie- ta, had been made the concentration point for the forces of General Rod riguez, which are said to number from 2,000 to 5000 men. In the meantime their leader is expected to determine whether to retire to Chi huahua or make an attack on the weakened Carranza garrison at Agua Prieta, where there are less than 500 soldiers.
