The 13 natives who were taken tc sea on an ice foe a few weeks ago, have been heard from. The foe drift ed from the vicinity of Teller to the Fig Diomede Islands. They landed safely on the Island, two of them re- mained there and the other eleven mushed across the Boring Strait, and arrived at Cape Prince of Wales five days ago. They suffered from the cold more than from hunger, they had a couple of seal along with them, which they were fortunate enough to catch before the ice parted from the shore. It was reported that several of the natives were badly frozen, but none seriously enough to necessitate the amputation of any of their limbs The full details of their thrilling eX- perience were unobtainable from our informant.

A communic ation was read from the School Board, asking the Council to set aside $500 to defray current expenses for the month of February. Upon motion duly passed, the Clerk was instructed to draw a warrant for the aforesaid amount, and turn same over to the Treasurer of the Board. The regular rules were suspended and the city em- ployees salary ordered paid. The Health Officers report showed that the general health of the City is good. regardless fthe unusual number of deaths which occurred during the month of February 6 all-told) with one exception, all were due to chronic diseases. At the present time the City is free from contagious diseases eX- cept among the Eskimo population.
 The City Attorney gave some inter- esting legal advice to the special com mittee, appointed by the Mayor at Q previous meeting to look into matters pertaining to the proposed govern ment construction of the Cnake river harbor.
 The financial statement showed .aI' Troximately $500 in the treasury and 6: out $500 outstanding indebtedness as well as last months salaries unpaid, which leaves the City practically out of debt. The Clerk was instructed to get registration affidavits printed, 1O4 voters have registered to date. The registration books will be closed at midnight on the 2Srd of March. A. motion was unanimously passed that on the 18th day of this month, delin- quent tax notices. will be posted at the following places: District Court house, Post Office, City Hall. and one in the hallway of the Will Goose ! building, near the entrance to the Telegraph office. It being so close to the municipal election, no action was taken to fill the chair recently vacated by ex-Councilman Lynell.

 carefully replaced to it's former rest ing place. The meeting then ad- journed until D. m. March IS.

 It is very gratifying indeed, to know that several of the business men contemplate hiring teams to re- move the snowdrifts from in front of their individual places of busi- ness. We must confess we've de- cided to fall in with the band wagon. We have notified the McAl- lister Transfer Go. to go ahead and remove the beautiful pile which has accumulated in front of the Industrial Worker Office.
 A temporary soft snap is on, and many of the residents along Front St., are Shovelling the snow from the roofs of their buildings. We have been informed that it is much more convenient for the teamsters who do the hauling away of tho snow, if tho citizens who do the snow-shoveling from roofs, and side walks, will throw the same intc the middle of the street, instead O as in some cases, it it lief 1 near the sidewalk. By doing thi the citizens arc not only helpin, the teamsters, and making it easie work for the horses. but they ar also helping the city in a financial way, which we've no doubt will bt greatly apprec, lated, by others a well as by the present local admin | istration.

In 1914, he said, Ireland was almost
ablaze with enthusiasm on the side Of
the allies, but the sentiment Of the
Irish people had since changed toward
the war, owing to distrust of the
British government and in the word of
British ministers.
BY the governments present action
