After the minutes of he last regular council meeting and the epochal spec Ial meeting had been read last right and a correction inserted in the latter at the request of Bnrgh they were ap- proved
 Communications were read from Messrs. Pole: and Goggn offering en. closed checks as payment ia full for their taxes. Polet's check was. short S170 of the amount levied and Cog gins Sl50 less than entered on the tax roll. Polet had added $50 to what he considered just for good fellow ship"
 Reports were made that the city treasurer had q balance of $S47.72: that the Eskimos had been digging around the garbage dumps to the possible detriment of health; and that the fire plant is in first class shape
 The tenders for taxes by Polet and Goggn were taken up under the head Of new business. Councilman Burgh rose to state that Polet's offer of $50
 for good fellowship" was an insult to the council and to the community A little later he extended his remarks by saying that it was a sort of bribe and could not be reprobated too strongly He would make no tax con- sessions to anybody. The taxes had been fixed by the board of equaliza- tion and should stand.
 Councilman Rose asked City Al torney O'Neil if the checks could be accepted as part payment and on learning that they could not, favored returning them.
 Councilman Wesley, Ross, and Me Allster were firm in their opinions that the full amount of the taxes only should be accepted. Mayor Moller therefore instructed the clerk to re- turn the tenders

, with the people engaged in them kicking against the high cost of living. These people are very much with :he 1 President and his peace moves. They sGy that the armies of Europe are eating the bread they should have and arc putting up the price of every 1 thing they have to buy. The people generally dress better and live better shan they did in the past and seem to have more money, but am unable to even guess where it all comes from.
 Many of the stores. especially i1 the clothing and hardware lines, cannot get the stock for gold in advance. One merchant explained to me that hun dreds of large and small factories in the East had gone into the war fur nishing busniness and were known no more to the trade, in their old lines.
 The South is more prosperous than ever before, and is probably out stripping the rich East. The 1916 cotton crop in Texas alone brough. almost three quarters of a billion of dollars. An automobile man here tells me that this place has less than fifty automobile houses. Dallas, Texas, a city of abou. one hundred thousand, has one hundred and fifty such houses. Even the darkics down there are too proud to ride in Fords. Most every thing here Is as high or higher than Tn Nome, but your merchants will put the price up when they get their spring goods, because they will have 10 pay much more.
 By the way, you would laugh in your sleeves if you could be here and see :he ladies in their modern crea- toins. Really some of them are wear ing anticipations. l could not tear myself away from Second avenue long enough to eat and sleep during my fifirst week here. Their toggery sim ply demonstrates that we are not re- liant upon Germany for dye and that Jobs coa. would appear solid black in comparison with the raiment of the flock of feminine fashion con- nosseurs who set the whimsical and capricious standards of dress il this village. Those of seven, seventeen and seventy seem to vie with each other in the selection of gay and pompous attire.
 Dresses are bull. high up under the ears and the cloak collars even but ton over their petit noses, but while they are added to at the top they are abbreviated on the other end. The fat ones wear very big hats and the slim ones wear small hats, but all hats are pulled low over their be- witching brows, so that only the eyes arc left exposed to horrid man. One has to look at their feet to distinguish them-thanks to nature, they run in differen: sizes. It is dangerous thing to fiirt at a distance with lady in modern dress, so they say, be- cause if she heaves- to one often finds that his Venus has seen more than fifty winters and that her adornment IS the sum total of her charms. It is then too late for him to write note or deaend upon any form of diplom- acy; a swift mobilization and an ig nomiaious retreat Is all that's left so they say.

TERRELL WRITES OF
 LIFE OUTSIDE

Mir Joel Terrel was one of a num- Der who on leaving last fall were asked by the Nugget to write their impress sions of what they should see outside. In response he sent this very inter- taining letter which will be finished tomorrow;
 SEATTLE. Jan, F, 1917. To the Nugget,
 Am keeping my promise 10 write you and will tell of the outside as it ap- pears to me. If my letter impresses you that my horizon is limited and my view hazy you will please be so kind as 10 pardon me; there are no eye openers here.
 Alaskans line the streets, fill the joy places and spend their money with the abandon of bacchanalians. They are well dressed and when seen in the restaurants convince one that their main object in life is to defy the high cost of living This may solve the mystery of their perennial return to the nations great white way. l will not mention them individually as it would take too long, and then again 1 may have to attach long postscript 70 my letter in order to tell of those who had escaped my memory and the vigilance of the police There are just three classes of Alaskans here, to-wit: work, those who imbibe unreservedly have seen one actually in the first class and one in the third class. All others are in the second class. Of course when I make the above state ment l disregard all hear-say repre- seatations as incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial; and not proper evidence to go back to Nome.
 There is prosperity here in some lines and hard times in others. The trans pOt AeNAOn RtDpiC eAE SO i1A bCAliho bAelN they may never catch up. The cafes, department stores and play houses are simply damned. all the time. The hotels and apartment houses are full and turning away hundreds and hun dreds every day, and many of the apartment houses have large signs in front saying, no vacancies" while others do not put up the signs, as their managers like to have the priv aige of turning people away; d pleasure they never had before, unless it was in the gold excitement days. There are a great many people here from Canada. and many of the we'll 10 do young men are playing hockey. A Canadian said to me the other day: Il am not able to go over the country playing hockey, but l came over here to escape conscription just ,he same"
 No one can fully account for the great number of people in the city. There are no eastern people here at all; they are too busy making money. While all corners say that the word is out in Oregon. California and the mountain states hat Seattle is very prosperous there seems to be very few people here from those states. Real estate has not advanced one cent, unless It be the down town property. The lumber business is simply para lized on account of transportation conditions, but there are said to be about forty million dollars worth of ships under construction and con- tracted to be built on Puget Sound; to say nothing of the Government ships under construction and to be built. Most all other lines of business are about as they were two years ago

A decision as to the presidents

Censorship Regulations in Es-

Senators as Unfair
Proposition.

Washington Desired

FREE PRESS IN DANGER

United Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The fight
in the senate against the administra-
tion's proposed drastic newspaper
censorship regulations, which form
part Of the espionage measure, contin-
ued unabated today. Emboldened by
the bitter denunciations of the suggest
ed censorship by Senators Lodge,
Brandage. Thomas, Johnson and 9th
ers, it's opponents today flatly declared
If the bill passes unchanged, "it would
make the press Of the nation the vir-
tual tool of the government" Such a
law, these men declared, would com
pletelv muzzle all publications in the
matter of comment or criticism "of
the plans Or policies OF the govern
ment."
Lodge reiterated his charge that
under the bill newspapers could not
print anything that the administration
did not want them to print"
Liveliest debate since the war pro-
gram of legislation started, has been
stirred up by the censorship clause.
An amendment designed to permit
newspapers to print any information
Except that useful to the enemy,
was put forward by Lodge. Thomas
IS preparing duoIueT diiCiiuiLShL oihiA-
ed at the same object.
"This bill puts it into the hands of
the president and his department
heads to decide the liberties of the
people," Thomas declared. I'D rather
have no law at all than this monstrous
law"
Lodge took fling at the committee
of public information appointed by the
president by declaring:
1--WE are told that a board Of CEN
sorship has been appointed to act as
censors Of the press of the United
States. 1t puts absolutely into the
hands Of the heads of the two depart
ments that are to conduct the war the
power to send to prison any man who
criticises their administration, al
though not giving information to the
enemy.
There Is a very broad distinction
between what is useful to the enemy
and what the head Of a department
says in his opinion might be useful to
the enemy. The president cannot at
tend to every case that comes up--he
has to rely upon those very depart
ment heads who are most likely to be
criticized"
