NEWS NOTES
I
Yesterday was a peachy day. Most
everybody who could walk were out
hitting the Mgh-spots. Scores were
seen on the various trails during the
afternoon and the younger set indulged
^ in ski and toboggan races on the near
i hills. Uee! 'tis good to be alive this
j weather.
■ Leonard Seppala has received sev
1 j . nil congratulatory wires from the
:t outside as well as one from the Dem
• ing Wheelers who are now at Fair
banks. The sweepstake winner is little
the worse for the trip. His face Is
not burnt and cvacksJ *s was the
ease after last years race.
Early this morn'ing a little convoy
hit out for Bangor creek under com
i mand of General Bumpus. There were
; three six-horse teams in all piloted
by Ralph Minor and Bil’y Carpenter
and were loaded with supplies for Con

I ready for summer mining.

I' •lliother” Carroll writing from Se
attle tells of spending both time and
inonej in little old New York where
i lie was seeing the sights for some
! time. "Brother” is in the pink of
| condition and states that everything
- humming back east but tbe wave of
prosperity seems to play around that
' section for he says the coast cities are
J quiet. Brother will be here with tho
big smile on the first Victoria.

and Lucky Peterson took to the hills

"What have we done towards organ
izing a military contingent” is the
question asked by the man in the
i reet. There will be a big meeting
! in the city hall tomorrow night at 8
o’clock to determine what is to be
donsj. . Over in Council they have
acted in the matter and have peti
| tionod the post commandant at Fort
] Davis to detail an army instructor
I to whip the raw material offered there
! into shape. We are a little behind
! here in Nome in this regard but will
’ catch up.
The Nome Chamber of Commerce
has taken up the matter of raising a
military contingent from Nome. To
that end there will be a meeting of
citizens called for tomorrow night to
1 take place at the City hall. Governor
.1. F. A. Ctrong has wired as to what
action has been taken relative to this
by the citizens here. All other towns
in the terltory have raised their quota
of men to form a territorial regiment.
Let us answer nobly the call of our
President, onr Governor and OUR
COUNTRY. Tho meeting will open
ni 8 p. ni.
The lire department have taken the
fire alarm box 32—which was hereto
fore at Yorkey's—into the fire house.
This action was taken ow*ing to the
close promixity of the new station
to the fire box.
The Miles-Bloomfield party left Se
attle on March 9, arriving at Chltina
nine days later. They set out from
there on March 20 arriving at Fair
banks March 28 where they rested
two days leaving for Nome on March
30. On the way they spent one day
at the Hot Springs so made the trip
from Fairbanks to here in 17 days.
Alex Smith, well known from Forty
mile to Point Barrow is back in Nome
again. Alick left us for the Iditarod
years ago and has been keeping up his
reputation as a stamepder ever since.
He takes the mall in, and has picked
up a little money here and there. We
are all glad to see him back.
.’uss Downing is all smiles todav
for his pups are back in the city hav
ing been on the trail for seventy
one days in which time they have trav
eled over 2,000 miles and were in the
collar a!l the time. They never miss
ed a meal. "That was why Seppala
won the Sweepstakes” says Russ;
however there's another Sweepstakes.”
Milton Luther, who for many years
was the United States commissioner
at Teller, and but recently resigned,
has been appointed as deputy United
States marshal for that section of the
country to replace John J. Riordan
who formerly held office ‘in that capa
city. Milton left today to take over
the office and carries with him the
best regards of his friends.
At the Board of Trade this evening
there will be a meeting, to arrange
tho schedule ffor the finals in the
balk line tournament. The winners
in all classes follow, Ed Wells, class
A. Faxt r Lewis, class B, Guy Mish,
class C., and Earl Modini, class D.
The play off will start tomorrow
night, and as these games will be
hard fought, all the billiard fans are
sure to be on hand to root for their
favorites. The first, second and third
prizes are now in exhibition at the
Board of Trade, and to say that they
are beautiful is putting it mildly.
These prizes should be an incentive to
bring out the best that is in each con
testant. It is understood that in the
absence of Mish. Judge G. J. Lomen
will play his games in the finals.
Milton Storm, who for the past six
teen years has made Dexter his home,
is in the city. Together with Charge
Caulkins—who is the original locator
of the Daisy claim—they have mined
that ground with eminent success.
This w'inter they handled some good
dirt and had quite a number of men
working until a week ago when they
ran into some old workings. They
are now sinking on the other side of
the claim and will get to bedrock to
morow. "Dexte- wi'l produce about
$75,000 for the winter's work" says
. fctorm, "and there are many million
dollars in the hill yet."
I A petition to close the Saloons in
September next is now in circulation
by the “Drys.” It is not meeting with
much support for yesterdays canvass
recorded but a small number of names.
The voice of the people In November
last expressed their wishes in respect
to tho drink question. The dry law,
will take effect within the next ten
months. That was emphatically set
tled by the people. Why all this un
necessary petitioning and counter
petitioning! Calamity howlers take
notice. We—the people—have ousted
Old John Barleycorn. He has received
his death sentence and we have given
i him until Jan 1st 1918 to got out.
Let the people rule!
Travelling by the compass Chris
Goodmanson arrived in Candle today
having made a big trip in through the
head cf the Candalar and through the
Koyuknk country in quest of fur for
a San Francisco house. Chris is in
the best of health and will leave for
Capo Prince of Wales tomorrow en
route to Nome.
Speaking of the new strike in the
Koyukuk country Goodmanson says
that many came in there from our In
terior Yukon country-, and were dis
appointed, ns the extent of the deposit
was not large enough to warrant any
stampede.
He Is Just an old malamute Is
"Bill.” Just a rough-coated old sal
mon eater who has been roughing it
on the trails 'in this section for a
good many days. His age as far as
can be ascertained is eleven—mayhaps
twelve—but “Old Hill" was in the race
nnd was one of the best dogs In Sep
pala's team according to Leonard him
self who states throughout all the
four hundred mile run that old faith
ful dog was hn the collar working all
the time. lie is now the property of
Marshal Jordan who will pension "Bill"
off.
PAUL KJEGSTED RETURNS.
Paul KJegsted, last but not least of
the Sweepstakes contestants, arrived
'in the city last night at 1:55: IS. There
were many of his friends and admir
ers at the finishing point to meet him
though Paul was trying to escape any
ovation. He stalled around at Safety'
so that he could get in under cover
of darkness, and even squared Del
qust to say that he would not arrive
in Nome until daybreak.
Without question KJegsted made a
tine showing in the big race and the
fans are ail proud of him. Ills dogs
were more or less forzen from their
experience in the blizzard and he was
packing one dog in the sled.
We are all glad to see Paul back
and can sympathize with him on his
hard luck in the last two Sweep
stakes races. However, we are proud
of him—win or lose—and will be al
ways glad to recount the story of his
pluck and tenacity in the race of 1917.
JOHN BROWER BACK AGAIN.
John Brower arrived in town from
the "great outside" with the Miles
aggregation. He spent most all of the
winter in California where with Nick
Barge he drilled on Trinity river for
several months.
John is looking fine and fit and says
that there is more work in the drill
ing line in California in a month than
there is here in six. He speaks well
of the Golden state and says that
drilling in that climate is sure a pic
nic. Further that the remuneration
for the work is the same ns we get
here; so California will see him again
next winter.
I He is now on his way to drill for
Alaska Mines where he has a big eon
I
tract which will keep him busy all
l summer.
