TRANSFER COMES TO NOME
 FOR FEED AND SUPPLIES

w. J. Rowe's team of six horses arrived in Nome Tuesday in charge of Fred Cook. The team left Cam yon Creek on April 20 and was fore ed by heavy storm to lay over at Solomon for day. Cook came to Nome for camp provisions and horse feed for the crew of eight men anf 24 horses working on the Peck dredge in. the Casadepaga. The team left Thursday morning on the return trip.
 tis reported that Rowe is makinS satisfactory progress with the work. but has been greatly handicapped by heavy storms. On one occasion the crew was idle for eight days. forced to stay indoors on account of the blizzard. Another time three days were lost in the same manner. The dredge. being moved from Canyon. Creek to the Casadepaga river. has passed over the high places along the route and the work from now on will be down hill. thereby greatly aecelerating the moving job. About 12 days will be required to place the lull in its new location.
 Regarding the loss of two horses, reported some weeks ago. full par ticulars are lacking. John Olsen. the teamster in charge of Rowe's four horse team of big bays, of which two were lost. gave a garbled account of the accident. From de- 6uctions made by crew members it is concluded that Olsen cn his trir from Solmon to East Fork met with soft trail and got into an overflow Pulling his team back to the frri snow he unhtched the four horses and turned them loose while he went up Solomon river looking for solid trail. When he came back to his sled he found two big bays had wandered into the overflow ana were in their final death struggle. Finding it too late to assist the ami mals Olsen left them and proceeded with his remaining team. reaching q cabin near by where he remained for three days, until the heavy storm was over.
 The loss of these two valuable ani- mals is a heavy one for Mir. Rowe and is one of the chances an owner of horses takes in travelling thru the country during the winter.

MINER HAS MARROW
 ESCAPE FROM DEATH

Rasmus Jensen. who with his son Edward is mining east of Nome, had a narrow escape from death last Sun day April 22nd.
 The heavy SHOWS of the winter have completely covered their pump house and shaft some 12 feet deep has been dug to reach the building. Below a covering has been placed over the opening to keep out the drifting snow and acts as a ventila- tor. On the morning of the 22nd a blizzard was raging and the min CTS decided to lie idle until the storm subsided as it was impossible to hoist during such a strong wind.
 Leaving Edward in the house Ras- mus walked to the pump house, de- cended the shaft and started the gasoline engine and pump so as to keep the working shaft from food ing. Accomplishing his object he started up the snow shaft for home. Upon reaching the open air he felt himself becoming numb and sank 10 his knees partially unconscious. but still in possession of his mental fac nlities Being unable to walk he started to crawl to the cabin, some hundred feet away. thru the fierce blizzard Fortunately his son was looking out the window and saw his fathers condition. Running out he half led and carried Rasmus into the shelter, where he soon revived,
 The explanation of being overcome is probably that during the night gas had accumulated in the tightly sealed pump house and further. dur ing the starting more gas was form ed. thereby partly asphixiatin,g the victim,
 Had he remained below few min utes longer or had his son failed to see him in time Rasmus Jensen today would not be alive.

SECOND MEETING NEW COUNCIL
 LIVELY AFFAIR

On Monday evening at s o'clock Mayor Maynard called the 23rd Com mon Council of Nome to order. All members responded to the roll call.
 Under the heads of the various committees and departments no re- ports were submitted except that of the City Clerk which showed that on April goth there was still bal. ance of s4O33.34 to the credit of the city.
 When the matter of new business was reached the council received considerable food for thought. At the previous meeting resolution was introduced and passed unani- mously to the effect that instead of employing the men in the Fire De- pantment. working under the Chief, designating them as Engineer and Fireman, they were hereafter to be hired as UtiMty men. The purpose of this change in title or position was to employ the members of the work ing force and place them subject to orders that might be issued from time to time by the Chief of the fire department and the Council. As was pertinently stated in that meeting the City Council should be in a position to designate reason abae duties to be performed by City em- r|cyees.
 Applications had been received from the present incumbents in which specific duties were mention ed. According to the resolution all ready passed these applications were not properly worded and so were or dered returned for correction.
 The applicants after given the matter considerati tion took offense at the term. "Utility" and expressed their intention of refusing to accede to the change required. stating that they would be employed under the former method of procedure or quit their jobs.
 The Chairman of the Fire Com- mittee had personal interview with the employees of the Fire Depart ment and found them adamant in their original position. He further asked them to attend the meeting of the City Council and discuss the mat ter in a business like manner and see if the misunderstanding could not be adjusted. This too was r,, fused
 At tbe meeting of Monday night it was suggested bv City Attorner O'Neill that if the Firemen objected to the word Utility the difficulty could be easily overcome by chang ing the objectionable word to read Engineer. Fireman and such othec duties as the Nome Common Coun- ci1 may from time to time assign"
 At the request of the member Of the Council Mayor Maynard appoint ed a cormittee consisting of R. B Julian, Win. Sinhc1d and Attorney O'Neill to immediately visit the Fire House and submit to the employees there the proposed change and ob- tain their answer. A recess was taken while the committee perform ed its duty. In few minutes the? returned with the report that the incumbents also objected to the clause "and such other du'ies" etc. stating that they were willing to perform other duties and donate their services, but would not 0blfgate themselves. in writing. to perform these duties. After considerable discussion, on motion of Henry Burgh the applications of the three members of the Fire Department were laid on the table
 There being no further business adjournment was taken to meet again the second Monday in May.

COUNCIL CUTS DOWN ITS
 SCHOOL BUDGET

The Nenana City, Council at a special meeting in March. met to budget. which was submitted by the School Board in accordance with the laws of the Territory
 In reviewing the School budge. the councilmen decided that the amount called for was excessive and accordingly voted a lesser amount. The following extract is taken from the Nenana News:
 "The School Budget provides for a teaching staff of four for the con- ing year. and funds also are asked for the employment of janitor and the installation of "a new heating plant, the estimated cost of which is placed at $3.O0O. The entire bud get calls for approximately $7.000, but the council Is of the opinion that a sum considerably under that amount will suffice for school re- Quireme nts."
 The School law requires that the School Boards submit to the city council budget of their estimated requirements for the advance year, and the Council in turn reviews tho budget and allows whatever amount it deems necessary. After conclud- iEg the review and stating the amount allowed the school by the city. the Budget is then to be re- turned to the Territorial Superin- tendent at Juneau. By this is meant the revised budget and NOT THE ORIGINAL BUDGET submitted by the School Board.
 Nome had an experience last year that shows a fragrant viola ton of the law governing the case. The School Board submitted to the Nome Council budget of estimated re- auirements. The Council after a thorough investigation of conditions decided that the amount asked fOr was excessive and they also reduced the amount asked for, by over $1,000. Instead of sending to tho Territorial Superintendent the re- vised budget the Clerk of the Nome School Board sent the original bud get as compiled by the members of the Board. Why this was done is not fully explained. except that the clerk claims he forgot to include the revised budget as returned by the City Council. The revised budget provided for fewer teachers and thu elimination of other items of ex- pense, but still the original budget was sent into headquarters. Some weeks after it was learned that the Board had so acted and immediately the City Council submitted the re vised budget to the Suerintendent at Juneau.
 AS the City obligated itself to the pay oi d CSit<tin SSCuUOi maintenance and the School Board saw fit to ignore the Councils C. tion and entered into obligations in excess of the authorization it is ap- parent that the School funds to be used for the opening quarter of sihe coming school term will be exhaust ed. thereby.
 At the last meeting of the 22nd Common Council of Nome the ball. ance due the School Board was trans- ferred from the General Fund to the School Fund. of the city. thereby satisfying ,the obligation of the Council.
 The high handed manner in which the old school board handled the financial matter delegated them an l the disrespect shown the Nome Comon Council is matter of which neither the School Board members nor the people of Nome can be proud.

Coolidge Has Good Will Of State

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOISE. Idaho. September s.-Presi-
dent Coolidge has the good will Of
Idaho. Mr.. Harding was very popu-
lar In the Gem state. and the feeling
tnat the new Executive Is quietly and
strongly taking up the work where
Harding left 1t has transferred to
5oyed by his predecessor. The title
OF Silent CAR is sure to be an asset
In these states toward the sunset end
OF the Old Oregon trail. In Idaho the
pioneers. men Of silence and action,
are sun held In revered memory.
The political temper of Idaho was
indicated several days ago by Sena-
tor w. r.. Borah upon his return from
trip through the northern counties,
when he said: Il have never seen so
this time Of the year" The Idaho
farmer is intensely interested in
lower railroad rates and a market
for an unusually bountiful wheat
harvest. In some sections there is a
decided feeling that the government
situation created by an excess Of
wheat. because it is a result of over
production urged upon the country
during the war period. The average
economics, and, having made a huge
outlay in equipment necessary to pro-
duce wheat on a wartime basis, is
inclined to feel. and is somewhat
justified in feeling. that the loss which
must be taken during readjustment
should be shared by the nation as a
whole.
This attitude was expressed at a
, mass meeting of wheat growers held
at Moscow. Idaho. recently. and reso-
lutions were adopted favoring a spe-
cial session of Congress to meet the
wheat crisis"
Generally speaking. Idaho will see
no extremely radical political devel-
opments during the coming year. The
! farmers are going to fight until they
get on the same economic level with
other industries.
In 1924 Idaho will elect United
States senator and two representa-
tiveS in Congress. At the present
time there is less than the usual
talk of opposition to either of Idaho's
present representatives. There Is at
present little doubt that both Burton
| L. French and Addison T. Smith will
| be returned to Washington by the
voters at the next election.
With Senator w. 4. Borah a fore
cast is more difficult. The seed of
! opposition is being quietly but def
| nitely sown and there are unhis-
| taxable indications that at least some
| of it is falling upon fertile ground.
| Just what may happen in next
| years senatorial race cannot yet be
surmised by the closest observers.
/ That there may be race which will
| arouse national interest seems quite
probable. JEROME BARTELL.

SENATOR STERLING
MAY BE OPPOSED
South Dakota Governor Talked of
for Place in Washing
ton Chamber.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., September s.
South Dakota next year will elect a
United States senator, and interest
already Is quite keen.
United States Senator Thomas
Sterling. republican. is a candidate
to succeed himself. and his friends
in the state will make a strong and
aggressive fight. Thus far he Is the
only republican candidate in the
field.
There have been rumors that Gov.
McMaster, who recently attracted
nation wide attention because of his
fight for a reduction in the price of
gasoline, will become a republican
candidate against Senator Sterling.
McMaster now is serving his second
term as governor, his term not ex-
piring until January 1, 1925. In the
event that he becomes candidate for
the republican nomination and cleo
tion to the United States Senate there
Is a possibility that he might resign
the governorShip.
Friends of Senator Sterling, how
ever, appear quite confident that Sem
ator Sterling can win the republican
election. In past campaigns Senator
Sterling has been very strong with
South Dakota republicans, and those
in touch with his political affairs as
sert there has been no diminishing
in his popularity For many years
before being elected to the United
States Senate he was dean of the law
department of the University OF South
Dakota, and is said to have been ex-
ceedingly popular with the students of
the law department
The active part taken during the
past few years by Senator Sterling
in behalf of prohibition legislation
In the Senate also has made him very
strong with the male voters of the
state who favor prohibition. and also
with the republican woman voters.
Some of the American Legion men
Of South Dakota have severely criti-
cized him because he was opposed to
a. national bonus for the soldiers who
saw service during the war against
Germany. but it is thought Senator
Sterling will be able to show that
the finances of the country at the
time the matter came up in Congress
were not in a satisfactory enough
condition to warrant the measure.

HARTFORD. Conn, September g.
The republicans of this state would.
In the event Of a movement to send
a solid New England Coolidge dele
cation to the national convention, un-
doubtedly, be found with Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island in support Of the
President. 1t is true, however. that
the present disposition of the voters
of the rank and file OF the party is
to see first whether President Coolidge
makes good. not that there Is any
pronounced feeling that he does not
measure up to the White House stand

even with his accomplishments in an
adjoining state, the average man
doesn't feel that he knows much about
him.
Other things being equal, or nearly
equal, Connecticut republicans would
prefer to support a New England can

their party matters to continue to
drift.
Earlier struggle Soon DUE.
The primary elections will be held
on September Is and. although the
struggles in Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh especially and in-many OF the
smaller cities are full of ginger, the
registration has been below expecta-
tions and many women have ais
played an eagerness 10 iist their
names The situation Is being given
intense study and. unless the fnal
registration efforts show the result
of party activity. there will be a
light vote. with the women cutting
more OF a figure than in any previous
primary. Woman candidates for coun-
ty nominations are numerous this
autumn. Some signs of desire to Sc
cure Pennsylvania delegates for
President Coolidge have been OBJ
served, but 1t will not be until the
primary results are analysed that
names will be discussed.
The democratic delegate campaign
Is expected to get under way early
and to be lively. Mr.. Sterling Is a
former state chairman and, 1t Is be-
lieved. will be aligned with the Nc
Adoo forces. He has been visiting
many parts of the state and Judge
Bonniwell has been no less active.

BOIL WEEVL PARTY LEAVES FOR CAPITAL
 AFTER DAY OF VISITS

Immensely pleased with what they had seen, two internationally known scientists and inventors ended their visit to Birmingham Saturday after noon when pr. Hudson Maxim and Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison left over the Southern at $40 o'clock for Washington and New York. Their departure followed a hectic day Of inspection of Birmingham's industrial and residential districts that left them, in their own words, amazed.
 Their tour of the city Saturday morning came after dinner given by the Alabama Technical society in their honor at the Tutwiler hotel Friday night. The visit Saturday morning began with trip through the Preston motor works, followed by an inspection of the Ensley plant Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company. The party. which in- cluded Mrs. Maxim, Dr. Hutchisons sons, Jack and Harold; his father. w. F. Hutchison, and secretaries. was entertained at lunch al the Ems ley plant by Karl Landgrebe, man ager of the works. Following this the Fairfield works were inspected.
 Returning to the city the party was taken through the residential section on South Highlands. pr. and Mrs. Maxim were much impressed with the real estate development in this section. The tour ended at the Tutwiler hotel.
 J. D. Fries, chief engineer of the T. c. L, and Mrs. Fries accompanied the party to the train
