A number of new business places
have been established here, but they
are entirely inadequate to meet the

Commander of Gun Crew on Ameri-

Was Shattered.
London, July 2.-The gun crew of
an American liner fired upof: two
German submarines during her Voy-
age from the United States to Eng
land.
Both targets were at a consider
able range, but the report to Wash
ington of the commanding officer
will express the belief that one perl
scope was shattered.
A third submarine was sighted, but
at a great distance and it submerged
Immediately.
The passengers expressed the
greatest admiration for the marks
nanship of the Aemrican gunners
as shown beth in practice and against
the enemy. One member of the crew
of the liner was formerly gunner
in the British navy and he won APP
plause from the American gunners
by making a bull's-eye hit on a bar
rel target during practice.
On one occasion the Americans
made seven bull's-eye out of eight
tries.

City Council Passes An Ordinance
Amending Sections Of Old ordi-
nance Relating TO Street
Assessments.
FOR OUTLYING DISTRICT
Paving District Plan to be Used on
Main street improvements
Not In the Plated
Districts.

Preliminary to ordering In the
street improvements decided upon for
this year. the city council this morn
ing passed special ordinance amend
ing and revising a number OF sections
in the city ordinance relating 10
street improvements and assessments.
The ordinance was amended chiefly
for the purpose of creating paving
district, through which assessments
for street improvements outside OF
the plated districts of the city are
made. Among other improvements
the council contemplates the paving OF
Main street from Fourteenth street 10
the city limits. From Nineteenth
street to the city limits much OF
Main street lies in an unplatted DIS
trict.
For the Improvement Of these
stretches paving district has been
created through the revised ordinance.
In this district through the new plan,
the cost of the improvements will not
be assessed against the AUDITING prop
!erty holder direct, but against every
owner OF land in the district created,
according to benefits conferred.
The paving district plan viii not
apply on those improvements inside
the plated districts OF Keokuk. The
paving district is part Of the code OF
Iowa and the plan has been used In a
number of Iowa cities. The Santa Fe
avenue extension to the city limits
in Fort Madison was put IN by this
plan.
The ordinance passed by the council
today is given complete in another
column of The Gate City this evening.
It is entitled IAN ordinance amending

FORT clBeoN AFTER RECORD

The boys at Fort Gibbon, on the Yukon and the Signal Corps sta tions along the line are after the record of subscriptions for Liberty Loans, according to word received by E. D. Beattie from his son F. D. Beattie, who is serving in the Signal Corps at that place The sum of $9,400 was put up by the boys, with several posts along the line yet to be heard from and as the record of the States, for posts, according to the number of men, was but $9,- GOO, they think they have the rec ord. The government made arrange ments so that the boys could sub scribe for the bonds and pay so much each month out of their pay. One man at Gibbon subscribed all of his monthly pay with the excep- tion of $3 60 each month, and as it will take ten months to pay for the bonds. this account monthly will be the extent of his spending money for that length of time.

DELEGATE AND
 MRS. SULZER TO
 LEAVE FOR CAPITAL

Delegate and Mrs. Charles A. Sul- ger. and their son William, will leave on the Mariposa for Wash ington City. Mir Sulzer has been in Alaska since early last month, visiting his mine at Sulzer since that time for the first time since leaving it last February to attend the session of the Legislature.
 When Mir Sulzer left Washington the legislative program for the re- mainder of a war session, which was nearing it's end, had been completed. There was nothing pending that affected Alaska in any way that had not been settled.
 MT. Sulzer arrived in Washington at the beginning of the extra ses- sion early in April, and remained there until the 9th of September when he left to attend the funeral of his brother, John Sulzer, and to be with his mother, who was ser iously ill. He returned from New York to Washington, where he was a few days, assisting to secure the passage of the Shafroth resolution eliminating assessment work on mining claims, after which he left for Alaska, via Los Angeles, where Mrs. SulZer and son had spent the summer after the latter had suffici- ently recovered from a severe at tack of scarlet fever to permit of his removal from Juneau They returned to Alaska together, and will go to Washington together.
