 A telegram was received from Col Steese advising the City to make a deposit of $2.5O0. or to guarantee this amount as the share of the city for the yearly maintenance of the harbor to be available by the end of December 1921.

COUNCIL DECIDES TO
 ADVERTISE DELINQUENT
 TAX LIST

Nomes City Council met last Mon- day night in regular session and with the exception of several minor and routine matters the meeting was de- voted to the discussion of the delin- quent taxes.
 The Council has levied personal tax upon the citizens of Nome and will employ due process of law to in force the ordinances under which the assessment was levied.
 Many people have in the past and are now assuming that they are the ones to determine whether or not they should pay a personal tax and also attempt to dictate to the coun- cil how much they will pay. This is an error on the part of citizens and will no longer be tolerated. If taxes are not forthcoming at the expirat ation of the legal time limit distress war rants will be issued and officers of the law will levy upon the property taxed.
 City lights, the public schools and our fire department must be main tained and the only way in which this can be accomplished is for each and every person enjoying these conven- fences and necessities to assume his or her proportionate share of the burden.
 The meeting closed with resolu- tion to meet again in an adjourned session Feb. 18th at p. m. Prompt ly at the time set the councilmen were present and set the date of Feb. 18th as the time for the publication of the Delinquent Tax list.
 At the Monday night session there was presented a communication from the War Department inclosing per init to the City to construct a munich nal wharf. The conditions covered by this permit are that no property rights have been given by the De- partment and in case dredged mater ial is dumped on shore it shall be deposited behind substantial bulk heads. Bulkheads as shown by the plans submitted to the Department by the council are not of sufficient strength and will have to be greatly strengthened before dumping will be permitted. According to the depart ment instructions they are to be no tified when construction work wil begin and must show adequate bulk heads for retaining dredged materia in case deposit of same is made with in the bulkheads.

4 LEGION POST IN rURS

Last Sunday the American Legion of Nome successfully filmed the pie ture that will travel the world un- der the title. "A Legion Post in Eurs.'
 The day was bright and clear with mercury around zero. Harry Phil lips. movie photographer e1traordi- nary, pronounced 1t ideal for the work at hand, and under the ener- getic and resourceful head of Frank Dufresne. the picture grew to nearly twice the length originally planned.
 At 11:45 series of bugle calls. aided and abSted by "malamute chorus" of hethog like 175 dogs. straining and leaping at their col lars where they were harnessed and hitched to convenient telephone poles on Main Street, awoke the few remaining sleepers in town and caused the mukluk and parka clad populace to assemble at the center
 
 Although not in the order in which they will later appear, the dog teams were filmed first. Harry Phillips took his stand few feet out on the Boring Sea and "shot" the teams as they sped past; the fur garmented crowd and the town forming an admirable and typical background. A hasty switch to the flag draped across the street at Bar racks Square registered the twin ners." as they passed under the nag. Joe Hebert's pony added touch of ridiculous buffoonery to the race as it dashed by with it's rig at the amazing speed of about 3h miles per hour.
 What will be the opening scene was next taken with the camera focused on the tunnel leading to Legion Headquarters in the Coast Guard Station. A legion insignia $ feet in diameter rested over the en- trance of the tunnel.
 At the sound of Assembly" leg ionnaires "a la Eskimo" poured forth from the "dugout" to stand formation with all the gusto of for | mer days in the service. A bit of comedy resulted here in bugler Du- fresne stimulating the freezing of the mouthpiece of the bugle to his lips. requiring mighty tugs and the full strength of Lee Godbey to remove it.
 The final picture and most beauti- full tableau of the day was next pre- | scented when Legionnaires; their families and friends grouped about the Legion sign and the snow dugout A sprinkling of native children, bucks and squaws. and a picturesque assortment of dogs. quite complet- ed the scene. Starting with "smii- ing attention" the crowd soon regis tered laughing hilarity" and ended with a free for all snow scr'nimace. which unless we miss our guess will prove the hit of the entire produc- i tion.
 There is hardly doubt but that these films will prove to be the fin
 est winter pictures ever taken at Nome. The novelty of the dress. nothing but furs" will secure dis tinct recognition for the Legion. and
 the public spirited citizens who
 helped form the background of the scenes should feel we'll rewarded in
 the proof they, helped to establish
 that Nome is still on the map and
 chockful of healthy. happy people.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Babies who

old men who couldn't move quickly
enough to avoid it, swelled the total of
accidental deaths to 3,4S3 in New York
city last year, health department reports
reveal. This represents a decrease OF
400 from the accidental deaths of 1919.
Only 9S7 of the victims were females,
while 2,496 were males. Even among IN
fants the death rate for males was by
far the higher, probably, according to
the health office, because boy babies
often come to grief through inquisitive-
ness and natural tendency to seek adj

Is ENGINES LOST
IN PORTLAND FIRE
Explosion Before Blaze-Believed to BE
Work of Incendiary-100 Freight
Cars Saved.

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug Fifteen
locomotives of the Maine Central, Bos-
ton & Maine and Portland Terminal Co.
were destroyed, and nine others badly
damaged in a fire here yesterday. The
damage is estimated at 81 100000. The
fire is believed TO be of incendiary origin.
just before the fire was discovered by
deputy sheriffs on guard, two explosions
were heard. Roundhouse No. 3 was de-
stroyed.
The fire started in an clubhouse made
of two box cars close by the roundhouse
and which was used by airbrake repair
men.
An explosion heard by deputy sheriffs
shortly after the day watch had started
work was the first indication that any
thing was wrong. This was followed by
a second explosion and immediately the
entire roundhouse was in flames.
A fireb0at responded but was unable
to give assistance owing TO low tide at
that time.
A number of locomotives on the pit
were put into service and more than
100 freight cars hauled away to safety.
Five locomotives were saved in this way
by pit tenders. Three locomotives in the
western section of the roundhouse were
run out fourth, belonging to the

Sheriff King Graham immediately
started an investigation and placed a
number of additional men on duty in
the yards The sheriff stated that upon
presentation of information secured by
his deputies he believed the fire was IN
cendiarv as no cause could be found for
an explosion to have occurred at that
point.
Railroad workers freely expressed the
opinion that the fire could not have been
caused by spontaneous combustion and
attributed the loss to incendiarism.
