I Ed Johnson, the Moonlight water
! king is authority for the statement

I delayed the arrival of the aqua pura
j in the kitchen faucet.
_
| Miss Ruby Martin—the Hans Wag
ner of the North—has not been at her
accustomed place on the switchboai.l
1 for the past three or four days. La

j be back at the telephone office in r
few days.
I
j Hilly liowes' office looks like ns if
| it ha<l been hit by a couple of pounds
■ of Edisons' dope. Everything is *orn
1 up—the window front is missing- and
so is Charlie Milot. Hilly is to have
I one of the finest plate glass windows

counter and office fixtures and will
be equipped up to the minute. He
never does things by halves anyhow!

When Ed Young arrived home on
Saturday night ho found his house
in the possession of his friends who
graciously allowed him to come in. I
It was a merry party and Ed had to
call out the marshal staff to get rid of
j the bunch a few hours later.
Everybody was happy. 'Twas Mrs.
Young’s birthday and her friends of
the Rebekah lodge sprung a surprise
on their vice grand.
The officer in charge of the local
telegraph office announces the fact
that the night letter service will be
I suspended until further notice. This
I is due to the fact that the Valdez
1 Sitka cable is still down and it is
! presumed that the navy radio is un- I
1 able to handle the great bulk of night 1
J letter which are sent to the outside at
th'is time of the year. Night letters
to the outside may be transmitted by
being routed over the Canadian 'ines
which route entails considerable ex
pense.
Deputy Marshal Hart Humber Will >
leave for home tonight. He will trav
el as far as Council by the regular j
I trail and will then strike out -across
country cutting out many miles of
bare ground. The Keewalik river is
open. That has no terrors for Hart.
I He's had to swim it before.
During his stay ;with us Deputy
Marshall Humber has been kept busy
and has covered several hundred
miles of tough trail on his last trip
to St. Michael. He will return to
Nome ngnin th'is coming summer.
During the past few nights we have
experienced cold weather and the
trails have tightened up again. Many
miners who were caught in the sud
den break-up had supplies hauled out
and dog teams were called into re
quisition again . The snow is fast dis
appearing and it looks as if there will
be a shortage of water in the freshet
run. Over a week ago it looked ns
if we were to be a month ahead of last
year 'in the line of sluicing but pres
ent indications point differently.

hands—has two pencils in each ear

Jaeobsgaard of Lehman’s grocery
store has discarded runners and is

Cracking twenty three blue rocks
out of twenty five Ira Rank proved
himself to be the best shot at the
opening meet of the Nome Gun club
yesterday. It was a glorious day but
the attendance was small due to sev
eral of the members having made
previous ngagoments. Ed Burroughs

on and ordered the removal of the
whole caboodle to the city where they
