FAMOUS LAST WORDS

81 wonder if it's loaded. I'll look
down the barrel and see."
ooh, listen! That's the train
whistle. Step on the accelerator, and
we'll try to get across before it
comes"
They say these things can't posi-
bly, explode, no matter how much you
throw them around"
q wonder whether this rope will
hold my weight"
Its no fun swimming around in
here. I'm going out beyond the life
lines"
(Which one of these is the third
rail, anyway"
There's only one way to manage a
mule. Walk right up behind him and
chastise him.
THAT firecracker must have gone
out. I'll light it again"
Watch me skate out past the
danger sign. l bet l can touch it."
Men are born to succeed, not to fall.

COUNCIL MEETING

The bi-monthly meeting of the Nome City Council was held Monday evening, Jan. 9th, with all members present except Mayor Rice. The Mayor is confined to his residence with an injured arm and Councilman Maynard presided as acting mayor during the meeting.
 A warrant for S000-80 was drawn from the general fund and placed in the School fund, after which s3,3O0.00 was transferred from the School Fund to School Treasurer Nels Swanberg for school purposes. The Territorial Treas urer recently remitted s2300.O0 for the School Fund so of the S3300.00 only $100O.0O was taken from the revenues of the city for the main- tenance of the school.
 At the conclusion of the regular routine business of the meeting. visitors were given the opportunity to address the city council. One or two business men took exception to 8 matter that had never been acted upon by the Council. namely, the financing of the removal of snow from Front street. It developed that instead of the city financing the project 1t was being, done by the v;do awake husiness men of the cen tral portion of the business district. It was succinctly suggested that other citizens could get similar re- suits. by pursuing the same policy.

production.
 A. G. Blake detailed his observa- tions during his survey 0 fthe rail- road and the wagon road route to Candle for the Alaska Road Com mission last summer and told the assemblage it would require close to S50,0O0 to place the railroad line in proper state for travel. Three large bridges must be repaired. he said. and this alone would require a considerable sum. MT. Blake said he thought road suitable for light traffic could be built from the end of the railroad to Candle at small cost. as the country to be trav- ersed is generally fiat. with shallow streams and no heavy grades.
 District Attorney Fred Harrison urged cooperation in local develop ment and commended the dinner meeting plan inaugurated by the Chamber.
 Juuse u. J. LoHleH' TetlTlls CHdlF- man of the Board of Directors also praised the dinner meeting plan and after discussing the coal question at some length said the Chamber of Commerce coal committee should take up the Lisburne coal matter at once
 c. A. Adams, Alfred J. Lomen, w. J. Keene. Geo. Hilfrich, Mitchell Weisberg. F. M. Kiesele. J. E. Stan- groom and E. L. Holt also address ed the meeting on various topics, offering in some instances valuable suggestions or information relative to the activities and problems of the district.

LOWER YUKON TRAFFIC
 TTE-UP IN PROSPECT

That the White Pass Company will not maintain it's steamboat ser vice on the lower Yukon during the coming summer and that there will probably be no river transportation service below Dawson unless the government establishes line Of boats between St. Michael and upper river points. is the disquieting iuti- nation conveyed in letter to the Nugget from G. A. Anderson. the widely known Juneau music dealer and piano man, whose piano repair ing tours of the Territory have made him acquainted with every import ant town in the territory.
 Writing under date of November 7th. MT. Anderson says:
 Sorry I could not visit your city this past summer. Transportation was very uncertain and the White Pass boats. although running. were very uncertain as to service. Next summer l may secure smaii lduHcu of my own and in that way not have to depend on the steamship service on the river.
 'I understand that the White Pass Company will not accept any passen- ger transportation below Dawson during the coming year and I pre- sume that the U. s. government will have to do something for the lower river country in the transportation line. or the people will be up against the transportation problem worse than they ever were.
 "In order that Nome and other points in that section may derive some benefit from the new govern ment railroad line, line of boats will have to be maintained on the lower river by the government and 1t seems to me that the sooner your community begins to kick, the better"

LOCAL COAL DEVELOPMENT IS URGED AT CHAMBER OF
 COMMERCE MEETING

The need for cheaper fuel and the feasibility of utilizing the vast stores of high grade coal in the Cape Lis burne region were the chief themes of discussion at the annual general meeting of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce Tuesday evening During the course of the session il was pointed out by several speakers that large number of peo- ple who leave for the States in the fall would remain here to prospect for gold deposits if the present price of fuel was not prohibitive. Others, il was said. would be only too willing to remain and exploit the widespread low grade deposits if coal was at q price which would permit margin of profit to the operator.
 The meeting was held in the din- ing room of the Bahlke Cafe and was preceded by dinner in which number of non-members were in vited to participate. Following the repast. the meeting was called to order by President Thorulf Leh- mann. The reports of Secretary A. Polet and Treasurer o. S. Weaver were then presented and read. The secretary's report proved 10 be a most Illuminating and decidedly in teresting document covering the wide range of Chamber activities during the past year and pointing out the numerous unselfish and highly valuable services rendered the community and district in that period. The report described the Chamber of Commerce as "the steer ing wheel of every effort that has been made" to further the com munal welfare and prosperity The Chambers efforts in behalf of the gold bonus bill; the attempt to se- cure a power boat for the use of the Nome Coast Guard in its life saving work: the prompt action talk en to suppress the i'll advised
