 AN OLD BELL
Much Routine Business Last Night Before the City Council
 Meeting.

The first meeting of the Juneau City Council since September 7th, was held last night with every mem Der present with the exception Of George F. Miller, who is still ab- sent from the city. Most of the time was taken up in adjusting tax matters, double assessments, erron- eous assessments and personal prop erty assessments which, for various reasons, cannot be collected.
 Two petitions for walks were re ceiyed one of which had been in stalled and the lumber for the oth CT had been ordered. The Council voted to construct walk on the Government road from Twelfth street to the Juneau Dairy.
 George F. Forrest notified the Council that no sale for the big Fairbanks Morse gasoline engine which was purchased some years ago for the rock crusher, has been found and that it would be necessary to sell the engine locally. The City l Clerk was instructed to notify ma chinery houses in Seattle of the chance for them to purchase a good engine cheaply
 The city was notified by the Alas l ka Electric Light and Power Com pany that the October bill is $26 i higher than in former months due | to the fact that IS new street lights ] have been installed and cut in.
 Protests were read from w. J. Beach against the taxation levied against his property in the Scatter i Tract; from the Alaska Juneau against taxes on cabin near the 1 General Hospital; from w c. Ed rington against taxes levied on his property; on the mail boat Prince of 1 Wales were all referred to the tax committee to report at a later date.
 The assessment on the fixtures of 10 $500; the tax on the Peter Carl son auto was stricken, and taxes against the personal property of F. P. Pond and in the Idaho Room ing House were stricken.
 The appointment of Albert For sythe as city patroiinan was ap- proved.
 The ordinance regulating the haul ing or garbage and making is fais- | demeanor to haul garbage in any thing excepting a covered wagon was adopted as was also the ordi- nance providing for the listing and reporting of all contagous diseases in the city
 Claims for the past two months were read and allowed after their approval by the finance committee.
 Since E. w. Petit had received pay for one days work which was performed by A. B. Cole, and as the latter had also been paid, Mayor Elm cry Valentine requested the council | to take some action. Inasmuch as Mir. Petit had served the city faith fully for a number of years and is now absent from the city the coun- ell voted to let him retain the mon icy, which amounted to about five dollars.
 A proposal from the citizens of

then there is the 10 per cent. of the receipts from the National forests, expended within the forests under the direction of the Forester, which in Alaska, means as directed by W. c. Weigle, of Ketchikan.
 Capt. Waugh Connecting Link
 Capt W. H. Waugh is sort Of connecting link between the road building branches of the War De partment and Agricultural Depart ments in Alaska. He is a member and engineer officer of the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners of the War Department and a Senior High way Engineer of the~ Office of Pub lie Roads of the Agricultural Depart ment
 These various funds next year will produce a considerable sum for Al aska roads. The amount to be ex- pended by the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners will depend in part, at least, upon the success of Gen. w. P Richardson in getting an ap- propriation from Congress. It is eX pected that it, with the unexpended balance from the last appropriation, and the Alaska Fund, from license taxes, will be considerable.
 The receipts from the National forests will amount to about s4,000 for each Judicial Division. The Ter ritorial appropriation will amount to $50,000 for each Division next year, in addition to the unexpended bal ances carried over from the present year.
 There will be available for ex- penditure under the direction of Dr. Hewes of the Office of Public Roads three years allottments of the $46,2So, or $13S.S40 in all.
 Mr. Weigles fund for expenditure within the boundaries of the forests under his control will amount to $G. 600 or $70G0 This year Mr. Weigle built a road from Hadley to Kasan and connected the bay and lake at Warm Springs Bay with a plank road.
 People Must Be Patient
 Secretary of Agriculture D. F Houston is taking personal interest in all of these matters" said MT Cecil, land he is so busy with wal matters and things of vital concern in connection with agricultural pro duction and distribution. that we cannot always get his attention to road matters. However, if the peo pie will be patient, everything will be settled, and we are confident that there will be a lot of fine team work in Alaska road building next year"
 Some Work During Winter
 The Alaska Board of Road Com missioners has let contracts for get ting out timber and blanks for plank roads in the vicinity of Ketchikan, Wrangeil and Petersburg, and it proposes to do some clearing on roads that will be constructed next year. Otherwise there will be little road construction in Alaska until Spring.
 Dr. Hewes and Mir Cecil sailed for the South on the Admiral Wat son, and Mir Weigle will sail on the Forest Service tender Tahn tonight for Ketchikan. All of them arrived in Juneau from Ketchikan on the Tahn.
 Capt. Waugh went to Ketchikan to meet Dr. Hewes, Mir. Cecil and MT Weigle. but on arriving there he discovered that they already had left for Juneau He came back on the City of Seattle and was here when they arrived

ORGANIZE. HUNT FOR THE S3
Farmers Seek TO Stop the Leak Be-
tween Producer and Consumer.

An Indiana woman was peeling po-
tatoes. she cut into one that was hol-
low and inside it found "A note from
the southern farmer who had raised
the potatoes. The note read:
Il got So cents bushel for tines"
potatoes. How much did you pay
for them?" -
She wrote back:
Il paid 81 per bushel."
The farmer sent her just one more
letter. It said:
II got 60 cents for those potatoes.
1t. could not have cost more than 81
cents to carry them to you. Nno got
the other So. l am going to try to
find out"
That was the end OF the correspond
ence, hut not the end of the matter.
A farmer in Texas set out to look for
that SO, and a woman in Indiana set
out on the same search. They are
typical of thousands of producers ana
consumers in these United States.

Nets Lose Series Opener

Brewer and Smith Form Com
bination That Causes Defeat
of Muskogee Team in Extra
Inning Contest by Score Of
5 to 3.
Special TO The World.


MUSkOGEE, Okla. Aug. IL
Brewers daring base running coupled
with a momentary fit of wildness 10y
Salisbury and Il two-base hit by Smith
over third gave the Producers IL to 3
victory over Muskogee today in the
eleventh inning OF the series opener.
After the teams had struggled thru
ten innings of hard thought baseball
Brewer gave the visitors a flying
start in the tenth by beating out a
well placed and entirely unexpected
bunt down the third base line. Heatly
showed him on to second with a sacri-
flee. Salisbury then walked Linda
more and catching the Muskogee
pitcher off his guard Brewer dashed
for third and stole it easily.
This seemed TO unnerve Salisbury
more than ever and he walked Ohlin,
filling the bases with just one out.
After Salisbury had famed Fairchild.
Catcher Smith lifted high pop over
third base which was too far back for
Wagner to get. Calbert was playing
deep for Smith and could not come
close to the bail. Two runners scored
and Smith pulled up at second.
The Nets got "A man to first in their
half Of the eleventh but could do no
more.
II looked like the Producers would
win the contest in the regular nine in
nings. They took a lead in the second
on FairchHd's homer over the right
field wall and increased 1t in the third
on two bases on balls, Pearson's single
and Heatly's double, but after that
they were unable to score off Sails
bury until the eleventh when Smith
broke up the game.
The Nets scored one in the second
another in the sixth and tied the
count in the ninth when Hale stole
home with two down and two strikes

the same time.
