ORDER FOR TAX SALE SIGNED BY
 JUDGE BUNNEL[
COURT SIGNS ORDER DEGREE ING THAT DELINQUENT
 TAX SALE BE HELD.

Upon the petition of City Attorney Cecil H. Clegg, filed yesterday in district court, Judge Charles E. Bun nell signed an order giving the City of Fairbanks the right to sell cer tain pieces of real estate for de linquent taxes The order stated that the sale may be held at such a time as the mayor and common council of Fairbanks shall decide upon. It allows the city interest at 10 per cent per annum on all unpaid taxes from February 15, 1916
 The list of property on which tax es are due and payable was pub lished last spring at the order of the council, together with the names of the owners of the property. The publicity of the list had the effect of making a great many of the de- linquents come in and pay, but there are still some property owners who have failed to come in and con tribute their pro rata of the city's running expenses in proportion to the value of the property owned by them. It is against these and their property that the order of the court made yesterday is directed.

Jewish New Year
 To Be Celebrated

Local Hebrews will tomorrow cele- brate Tishree Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New Year The celebra- tion will really start at sunset this evening, all Hebrew celebrators start ing at that hour. And it will continue until tomorrow at sun set. It is understood that there will be services either at Harmonic hall or at the Auditorium in connec- nouncement of them had been made last evening.
 Sunset this evening marks the be- ginning of the Jewish calendar year 5677. In olden days there would have been ten-day celebration start ing tonight and ending only with the celebration of Tom Kippur, or day of atonement, which falls this year on October :.
 The Jewish New Year is celebrat- ed by Hebrews all the world over And it is probable that in conform ance with the prevailing custom, most of the mercantile establish ments owned by Jews here will be closed all day tomorrow, although no announcement to that effect has been made.

ERCEC ID DRILL
 Ok ESTER CREEK

Mike Erceg, the well known drill man, started loading a big Keystone drill on d car of the Tanana Valley railroad last night preparatory to transporting 1t to Ester creek. The drilling work will be done on No. below on Ester, ground owned by Paul Rettig.
 Several years ago considerable work was done on No. 4, and over $l00000 was taken out. The work was stopped, however, by water which came into the workings in such quantities that it could not be handled by ordinary methods with out more expense than the opera tors at that time cared to undertake.
 The time has now come. however, when the owner of the ground de- sires to see what kind of pay dirt can be found and just how much of 1t is in wet or frozen ground. This can easily be determined by drill ing. And it is hoped that the pay will be found to be in such quan- titles as will enable the owner of the ground or the operators on it to work to advantage, thus adding ma terially to the output of the camp during the coming summer.

Nordling Will Be
 anitor At School

Carl Nordling, by agreement of the board, has practically been appoint ed janitor of the public school. Mrs. Mary H. Zimmerman, clerk of the school board, said that for the po- sition they needed an experienced engineer; that MT. Nordling is. as he holds a certificate as such from the navy. She said that it was very difficult to get satisfactory man for the place, as the man must be both good engineer and janitor.
 MT Nordling seemed the best man for the place. He is middle aged man.
 MT. Kerler, the former janitor, was forced to resign on account of illness
 Miss Stevenson is teaching pen manship to the seventh and eighth grades and the high school.
 William Frame, of the Frame brothers automobile line. has quit driving his car to the coast. He is now in the employ of the N. c. Co.

 RIGHTS GIVEN
 ID NEW ID l N
JUDGE SIGNS ORDER PERMIT TING INCORPORATION OF
 TOWN OF BUCKEYE.

In district court yesterday morn ing at 10 o'clock Judge Charles E. Bunnell signed an order permitting the incorporation of the town of Buckeye. And thus was a new town born. for it is understood that the residents of Buckeye will immediate and that the councimen elected will enter upon their duties as soon af- ter they are sworn into office as pos sible
 Buckeye is located at the mouth of Woodchopper creek, in the Hot Springs recording district It was formerly known as Woodchopper, but the name was changed, owing to the fact that there is already a post office in Alaska by the same name And unless the name has been changed recently, the town of Buck eye is known to the United States postoffice authorities as Tofty.
 The petition for the incorporation of the town of Buckeye was first sent here last spring. Nothing was done about the matter at the time, however, owing to the fact that no vote of the populace of the place, relative to incorporation, had been taken. However. on July 22 vote was taken. resulting in 75 votes be ing cast for incorporation and 26 against it.
 Buckeye is the sixth incorporated town in the Fourth division. The others are Fairbanks, Panama, Idita- rod, Fla gle and Cinema The new town will have the usual rights of other incorporated towns. The chief difference is that the town will now have the license moneys col lected within it's corporate limits at it's disposal, when formerly they went to the government. It is with these and the taxes collected that the city must pay it's running eX- penSes.

HOLDS
 BUSY SESSION

The city council was called to or der at S:30, with Mayor Myers in the chair. Councilman George Smith came in directly after roll call. The case of D. l.. Squires. The commit tee found that no taxes had been paid on the property since the first tax levy in the town. They recom mended that he be given a deed to the lots if he would pay all the back taxes, penalties and costs. The report was accepted.
 Owing to a shortage in the sup ply of lumber, the construction of delayed. There is plenty of lumber now, and the work is being rushed The committee found that gravel made a very good upper coat for the streets, and that has been used extensively on the streets east of Lacy. The gravel was secured near the brewery. The council then dis cussed the graveling of Front street. No action was taken, as the matter was left to the street committee.
 Some time ago a number of prop erty owners above Eighth street, along Cushman, offered to furnish the lumber and pipe for drain if the city would pay for the installa- tion. The cost to the city would be $1OO The council voted to do the work
 The work on the school is nearly completed The work is permanent and has given satisfaction.
 The school board, through Mrs. Mary H. Zimmerman, clerk, asked that the board be granted $1,000 for the expenses of the month. The council decided that the board must give an itemized account of the last amount received before the warrant would be delivered. The warrant was ordered drawn and the city clerk instructed to hold it until such a report was made.
 J. H. Groves will be waited on by the fire committee in regard to the 250 cases of gasoline that he has stored near his home on Cush- man street. Cecil Clegg, city attor- ney, and J. J. Buckley, fire chief, were instructed to draw up an ordi nance that would cover any similar case that might come up in the flu ture.
 The date fixed for the sale of real property held for delinquent taxes was November 1st. Bids will be asked from the newspapers for the publication of the lists.
 The various bills were ordered paid and the salary warrant drawn.

ENGINEERS HAVING
 MANY DIFFICULTIES
Builders of Alaska Railroad Combating Many Obstacles S50OOO Has Been Spent This End By Engineering Commisson-Work Expected Go Forward More Rapidly Next Year-Contractors Working Hard

close down for the winter by the fifteenth of next month. Clearing work may be carried on to the first of November
 The building of the culverts and pling will be begun early next sea son. Contracts will probably be let for cutting ties, piles and bridge timbers this winter
 In spite of the many difficulties that the engineers had to face at the Fairbanks end of the govern of progress has been made. First of all was the late start. It was the middle of July before the clear ing was begun and the middle of August before the grading was start ed Then the contractors were trou- bled with a shortage of men and horses up to week or two ago. This season has not brought the progress that the commission hoped for in the construction on this di- vision.
 The nature of the ground also presented heavy difficulties. Most of it is covered with a heavy growth of moss A short distance below this the ground is frozen. On the first section Contractor Bartlett found easy going, as the moss was not thick and the ground frozen only in spots. He will finish a mile of his contract this season.
 Engineer J. J. Fallon, of the Hap py residency, stated that he found that three things had to be done in order to make any headway in the work First the moss must be removed, so that the ground could dry out. Second, the ground must be thoroughly drained. Unlike the Outside, where the ditches need be a thousand feet or such matter apart. here they must be only few hun dred feet apart. Third. the con tracts should be large enough so that the contractor could take his dirt down to the frozen ground and then move on and permit the ground to thaw This takes time and money.
 A good example of the difficulties can be found in the contracts of Mcdonald and Lunborg. They have to work in mud and water half way up to their knees Then the muck drains from the top of the fill and runs off the sides. This carries the soil with it. and the dump soon pre- sents very ragged appearance, Nev- ertheless, they have kept steadily at it, and are getting results.
