Contrary to expectations, Nome's most widely known landmark. the big clock lin front eff the Segerstrom and Hagen jewelry store, will not be re- moved this fall and win once more mark the passing hours of winter for those who by circumstance or inclina tion share the delights of the "shutin'' period. MT Segerstrom. local repre- sentative of the firm. annorinccs that
 the unexpected and unusually early cold spell will make the removal of the clock q difficult task. The, base is set in cement and will require con siderable labor to remove. In ad- diticn. the handling of the delicate mechanism in cold weather is extreme ly liable to result in damage. It has, therefore. been decided to leave the
 Jock in it's accustomed place for the winter. Mir Segerstrom says re is not greatly disappointed by the change 1f ContemplHtions resulting from the unusual weather conditions. as he feels d distinct aversion toward pulling down the old landmark
 "'rhe old clock has been there so long and is so closely associated with the communal life" he says, that it really goes against the grain to take ii away In spite of the fact that the clock will he q valuable advertisement for our Seattle store. would rather it remained here. If l could get any thing like q half way reasonable price for il would be only to glad to leave it"
 Questioned by the Nugget regarding the lowest price that would be con would agree to q reduction of two hundred dollars in the price recently quoted making the present offer $400. This offer is distinctly reasonable and should enlist some effort to have tho clock retained as q permanent fixture The Nugget suggests that the feaHired funds could be readily raised during the winter hy giving entertainments or by subscriptions from the public. If it is desired to undertake an effort to purchase the clock, the Nugget will agree to provide all possible publicity to the movement and will also publish in each issue Il list of those subscribe ing fifty cents or more. Also. if agree- able to those interested, this paper will undertake to receive subscriptions. or help in any other way desired.

Al last nights meeting of the city council, it developed that many of the local business houses turned in as sessment appraisem"nts on their stocks some instances ii appears that the merchants assessed their stocks at scarcely more than half the valuation usually returned. The development is said to he due to the date of assess mcnt being set forward from Novcm- ber lst to September 1st by the preced- ing council.
 The council sat as q board of equali- aton and listened to the complaints of q number of property owners who were not satisfied with the valuations placed on their real property by As sessor Grim.
 Discussing the assessment returns made by the merchants, members of the council body say if the council ac- cepts the valuations sivep it will mean Il serious reduction in city revenues and will place the city government in a decidedly embarrassing position Several are considering the passage of q resolution restoring the date of as sessmcnt to November 1st. Some of the valuations returned by the mer- chants are so ri1iclI1ouSlv low that there is little doubt that the council will increase them to figures more in keeping with the returns of earlier years.
 4 majority of the council are of the view that many of the business houses took full advantage of the changed as sessment date to let their stocks run down to the lowest possible minimum
