A wireless reaching the radio stat ion yesterday announced that the Coast Guard Cutter Bear was expected to arrive at Unalaska yesterday after noon. Where the vessel has been dur ing the interval since she departed from Seattle on June l3. none but the official powers know. While we o1 Nome have been expecting to heal daily that the cutter was nearing Nome with the much desired sprins mail, she has apparently been trekins around the Aleutians or along the southern coast. If the vessel pursue: her usual custom of remaining d Dutch Harbor or Unalaska for q week or ten days after arrival, We probably will not sec her around this part ol the Boring Sea coast much before tht arrival of the regular fleet.

Rowe for A period of three years by the 18th. Common Council. last year. Pursuant to a resolution passed with but one dissenting voice. the council decided to serve notice on Mir. Rowe of it's desire to annul the contract under the provision contained therein providing that the contract may be terminated on five days notice for failure to conform 10 the coven- anted terms. The present condition of the Dry creek bridge and the alleg- led failure of the street contractor to comply with some of the contract pro- visions regarding the sVeeping of the streets were designated as the causes which justify annulment of the con- tract.

 tain specifications. Rowe told him
 that the contract had been In his op-

 reason why the city should desire a change. Mir. Rowe had told him that

 FIRE BOYS DAY
TWO ROOF FIRES AND A CHM NEY BLAZE KEEPS FIREMEN
 ON THE JUMP

Yesterday was a busy day with the boys at the fire hall. They re sponded to two alarms for roof fires and one still alarm caused by a chimney blaze.
 The first alarm was turned in from the cabin of Chas. Thrift, between Seventh and Eight on Cushman street On arriving at the scene, the firemen discovered the seat of the flames along the ridge pole, probably caused from an overloaded flue. It was necessary to tear up a portion of the roof to check the blaze. No further damage was done. The sec ond fire alarm responded to, or iginated from the boiler room of the Fairbanks Beverage Co.,, on upper first ayeneu. The blaze there was small one in the roof above the boiler Short work was made of it after the iron roofing had been talk en up and the chemical turned loose. Only a limited amount of damage was done. The still alarm was turned in from the home of Mrs. Ruth Y Wilson, on Fifth avenue near Noble street. It was unnecessary to send out wagon on this alarm, one of the men going up and strengthening out an overheated chimney, the cause of the trouble

 "Il more British Columbia coal would arrive while the company had this coal on hand the Alaska coal could not be sold in competition with the other coal and it would be a dead loss"
