The Eagle barn dance was a big
success and everyone had one huge
time. The big hall was for the time
being transformed Into a barn yard
with turkeys, pigs and chickens In
■ vidence w hile bales of hay were scat
ered about the hall in a way realistic
ally suggestive of the scenes of "boy
hood's happy days down on the farm.”
The Jingleviile brass band was on
1 nd in all its glory and the lads and j
lassies were in their best jeans and
calico. Apples and elder were served
<s refreshments. Every one attending
was Immensely pleased with the affair
and the evening was over all too soon
for the majority.

ington's birthday, February 21. It Is
-said that the handsome spoons offered
ly tlie Solomon Moose have caused a
-remendous flutter among the young
adies who are eligible as burdens and
he entrants will have no trouble se
aring a "burden." From present ln
lications the list of entries will be
treater than ever and apparently every
log In town is being requisitioned for

in a letter to friends in Nome, Mar
in Church gives considerable space to
tnmenting on the latest fashions af
.. ted b\ the feminine population and
xpresses himself as sometimes mys
ifled as to the age of some of the fair
nes lie encounters in the effete out
hie. "Old women," he says, "on the
treats are dolled up like little glr.s
th short skirts and painted worse
liun Commanehe warriors," and then
proceeds to wonder "how they do it on
ten per." all of which seems to show
hat Martin drooped some of his so
phistication up here. Just like many
mother one. In another paragraph ht
pats the ladles of Nome a handsome
compliment in the following words:
"Tile Seattle girls haven't anything at
m lo compare with our Nome girls
n the way of good looks, as far as I
nave noted. Martin Is also much Im
pressed with the Jitneys and say it
peats riding in a crow ded street car nil
hollow. In conclusion he says: "I
.von't say that 1 will not go back to
Nome again, but 1 will say that 1 will
,ry not to. I am glad to be out of
Nome, but 1 hate to be away from
Nome people. 1 think, as a who's
.hat they are all b F O. b. and I wish
t could be one of Nome s population
mdeflliilely if they lived In a more
convenient part of Alaska."

The Nome Kennel Club la In receipt
of a communication from the Ruby
Kennel Club of Ruby stating that the
letter organization will hold a flfty
t-vt-n mile dog race on March 17, thei
coiire being from Ruby to Long City •
and return. The race will be run un
i. practically the same rules as ob
t.-.in in the Solomon derby save that
there is no rest at the turning stake.
The course Is stated to be over a gov
ernment wagon road, which at that
time Is In Ideal condition. The prizes
■fft-red will be $600 for first, $300 sec
ond and $200 third. The course record
Is given as five hours, thirty-four min
utes and forty-nine seconds, made by
Joe Jean with a preked team from the
Iditarod in April, 1913. Last year’s
winner was a mall team from the Yu
kon belonging to J. L. Lamont which
made the distance in five hours, forty
four minutes, sixteen seconds. The
club Invites Nome entries and states
that while the prizes offered are not to
be compared to those in the Alaska
Sweepstakes they are sufficient to pay
the expenses of a Nome team if no
better than third place Is attained,
arize, was fixed with the end In view
obtaining a Nome entry and the third
prize "as fixed with the enld In view
of providing enough to pay expenses if
the visiting team secured no better
than third place. The club Is trying
to get teams from all parts of Alaska
and expects entries from Iditarod. Nu
lato, Fort Olbbon, Lamont’s mall team
and two or three from Ruby. The let
ter also states that they expect that
at least one team from that section,
the Lamont team, will come to Nome
as an entry In the sweepstakes and It
Is also possible that Coke Hill may
take a team down although his dogs
are rather young yet. The Ruby fan*
are very much Interested In seeing
Lamont enter the sweepstakes for the
reason that he has a somewhat new
brand of dog flesh. Yukon native dogs
with about a sixteenth of hound or
bird In them. The Ruby people think
that they are a remakarkable team.
