MANY MATTERS
 OF IMPORTANCE
 BEFORE COUNCIL
SUBJECTS OF DAY DISCUSSED PRO AND CON BY OUR
 CITY FATHERS.

i Many matters Of importance to the residents of the town at large, as well as to the municipality, were discussed at the regular meeting Of the city council held last Tuesday
 hing A new dog ordinance was introduced and the light question was gone into at great length; the health situation was taken up and
 general spring cleanup of tho
 ty was reviewed
 R D. Menzie, manager ot the heat and light department of the N. C. company, appeared before the council and explained the situation l He explained the cost of meters and the cost of keeping them up, and showed to the satisfaction of i the council that the company is not making more off of lighting the i houses O. Fairbanks than it is en- titled to make The council there fore voted to allow the light rates 1 to remain the same as last year.
 The new dog ordinance provides that the city shall pay monthly to it's dog catcher the sum of $1 for each dog caught, released to it's owner. It also provides that the owner of the dog shall pay the dog catcher $2.50 for the release of his dog each time it is caught and an additional s1 for each time it is caught after the first time within one year. The city also agrees to pay the dog catcher the sum of g for each dog he has to kill the ordinance stating that the poundmaster is required to keep the animal but for five days. And the city has no dog catcher yet.
 The waterfront at the Independent Lumber mill was also discussed It was pointed out that something should be done to stop the action of the water there, for the reason that the bank of the river at that point is being washed away very fast. Roy Rutherford. manager of the lumber company. offers to fur nish the piles and filling for rip-rap- ping if the city will do the work. It was decided to take the matter up with other property owners in that vicinity.
 A committee from the Woman's Civic club of Fairbanks visited the council at the meeting, bringing a letter from the secretary of the or ganiZation relative to the curfew or dinance. and asking that it be more out that minors are attending dances, etc. where they should not be. The council instructed the city attorney to draw up an amendment to the ordinance which would cover the points named. The committee which i presented the letter was composed i of Mrs. J. A. Cambridge, Mrs. J. K Balton and Mrs. Ed Wickersham. | Johnny Kanes cleanup contract was talked over by the councllmen and it was decided that Mir. Kane does not have to remove refuse other than garbage from the streets, according to his contract. And the word garbage" was defined.
 1 In order that some of the streets might be strengthened out, it was decided that a house on Second avenue owned by Mrs. J. H. Mann will have to be moved back from the street while another, on Seventh avenue, owned by Isaac Dutton, will also have to be moved. It was also pointed out at the meeting that there are several fences which, if moved back would be matter of civic imnrOyement

The MOuntaineers.

We have been amused many
times at the remarks made of
the people of the Mountains. We
do not go before the world with
the claim that we are without.
sin, but we do go before the
whole country with the boast
that every man. let him be white
or black, gets a square deal in
the Mountains.
We have had a few of the most
fiendish crimes committed in this
country, and while that is true
it had, in most part. been some
one from another part of the
country that has done the worst
deeds. Take for an example the
case of Jesse FITZGERALD, who in
the darkness of the night, when
all was at rest, he slimed his way
to the lonely dwelling of Robt.
Broughton. where he found his
wife, Martha Broughton, who he
murdered in cold blood, and rob-
bed her. then went his way
thinking that all was well with
him. But this was not the case.
the eyes of the law were upon
him. he was arrested and brought
to the county jail. ne was trans
ferred to another Jail for safe
keeping, and brought back to
this county and given a square
deal. The Jury said by their
verdict that he shonld hang by
the neck until ne was dead. The
case was taken TO the Court of
Appeals, and that Court said
that the finding of the Court and
Jury was correct, and he was
hanged.
Only a few days ago there was
a case not near so bad in the
western part of the State. The
woman is yet alive. but that Deo-
pie down there took the law in
their own hands. and every man
who went forth to hang the man
who was guilty was a murderer,
every man of them, and when
they put the second man to death
they committed cold blooded
murder, and Judge Reed has call.
ed special term of his court to
try to ascertain who they were,
and to bring them to justice.
Two wrongs never has and never
will make one right.
If this had occurred in the
Mountains, we, every man of us
would have been condemned, and
they ought to have been. We
are not taking the part Of the
man who committed the outrage,
he deserved the severest punish
ment, but it should been dealt
him by the strong hand of the
law.
The State of Georgia has be-
come a by-word in the World, for
the hand it has played in lynch
ing not only Negroes who have
no show in that State even in the
courts. but they have not been
content at that, they have gone
forth with their mob rule and
hanged and mobbed others. in

"In Eastern Kentucky"

Another of Louisville's great
editors Appeals to the lgnor-
ance CT the Citizens of Eastern
Kentucky"
The Evening Post. in its edi-
torial CT October oath. comes
with tears and trembling, asking
that we, the people of the Noun
tains, see TO it that The election
is free from intimidation, and
that the returns are not tainted
with fraud" Next to this. let
them make clear that they are
not tc be ordered to the polls or
to be counted at the polls, even
when they stay at home, by party
managers. Who in the Sam
HilP' ever heard of any intimida-
tons &C the polls in the Noun
tains Q. in Eastern Kentucky?
This man who lives in tie City of
Louisville fOrgets that we are not
of the class of politicians that
run the affairs of the city in
whic. ne lives and helps to run.
He forgets that right here in the
Noun talns of Kentucky is where
civilization and progress came
hand in hand. He forgets that
the first settlement of Kentucky
was established right here in
Knox County. He forgets that
the Mountains have sent some of
the greatest men the wo Id ever
produced out to Missionary fields,
and That they have always been
represented in every big under
takiEs this Country has ever
had. de forgets that the Noun
tains Of kentucky has sent one
of her sons to the highest court
in this land. He forgets that we
have less crime in the whole
Eleventh Congressional District
in ore month than is committed
in his city in a single day.
BIT there are some thing that
we are sure that he does re-
member. Among them we are
sure that he remembers that
When re too, was trying to shoot
the Tag of our Country full of
holes, trying to make this great
country of ours a Confederacy
and not Union, that he found
the brave boys from the Noun
tains On the other side, swearing
by Him that liveth forever that
he should not do it. He found
them when the Democrats were
robting w. S. Taylor and the
rest of the Republican officers
that were elected at the same
time, who were given certificates
of election by three Democratic
election commissioners, that they
were then as they are now in
fave. of every man having a
square deal. He will find them
this Fall as in all the days of the
past, standing up to the high
marx of good law-abiding citi-
zens.
We do not have to count the
vote only as it is cast, we are all
friends, both Republicans and
Democrats, we have enough in
each party that are honest enough
to bold our elections and give to
each that same kind Of treatment
that we would like to have.
In this part Of the State we
have no intimidations, we have
no political bosses, we are all
bosssss in both parties. we vote
as we please. and they are al
ways counted as cast. All that
we want. all that we need is to
be let alone. Our Democratic
brathers are not afraid of US,
