It is not believed that Pete Bloom- <
quist and Joe Goodwin who lei !
Nome shortly after Christmas foi j
Lost River have lost their way in a |
' blizzard and perished as rumor ha:
I had it for a day or two. On the othe:
I hand it appears that they are the two
; white men an Eskimo reported as a.r j
[ ri\ ing at Cape Wooley native villas i
quite badly frostbitten. They were j
well equipped with sleeping bags. 1
warm clothing, provisions and seven
degs. It was not learned from the
Eskimos how badly they were frozen.
It Is declared that the next big so
cial event will be a Mardi Gras given
by the A. B.'s at their hall on Januarv
27. Rumor has it that invitations will
be extended to many who are not j
members of the Arctic Brotherhood ■
and that positively no one not In cos - |
tume will be allowed to pass the door.
It is further stated that the club will
defray all expenses incident to the
affair. It is believed that beautiful
costumes, as well as grotesque and an
absolute Incognito will make this
event one of the mo3t enjoyable func
tions of the winter.
The mail today brought reports
from the Tacoma fur sales on No
vember 16. Red fox sold from $3 to
$13.60, cross fox were in good request
at from $17.60 to $22.50. Two good
sk:ns brought $43.37 each. White fox
sold around $15 for a fair grade. I.vnx
sold between $5.50 to $G.50 Musk
rat sold at an average of 2G cents
each. One lot averaged 32 cents. The
, report states that the manufacturer
demanded mole Kolinsky and mink
rat mostly. Contrary to the general
opinion earlier in the season, foxes of
all kinds have remained in good de
mand though prices for white foxes
have been considerably reduced. Mink
did not pick up ns was expected with
the demand for short-haired fur. Some
believe mink will remain dead for a
while longer while others think more
Interest will be shown after the first
of the year. The price is practically
unchanged.
The directors of the Kennel Club
had a meeting Saturday and selected
jjeut. Perrine, Arthur Cole and L. H.
jLcCloy as a committee to have full
charge of the Borden oup race. This
race Is under the auspices of the
Kennel Club but it is managed en
tirely by this committee. The date
of Febraury 12 has been set for the
.■at e. It is entirely dependent on the
weather, however, whether it will be
run on that date. The conditions of
the gift of the cup Impose that the
weather and trail conditions shall be
tdeol. Thus if Febraury 12 shall not
be suitable the committee will post
pone the race till a later date and
jo on until weather and trail are ideal.
I'he distance is the full Marathon
„ourso of 26 miles and 385 yards,
and the course will be measured under
.he direction of the committee in the
.tear future. Timekeepers, starters and
.thers having to do with the race will
be appointed by the committee and
their names duly announced.
Pete Christensen is in town today
rom Irene creek where he and his
partner Pete (Overall) Pearson are
king out a good dump with satis
factory pay In 1C
Frlc Johnson arrived with the mail
oday at 12:26. Letters bearing post
al: rks as late as November 26 were
received. In this batch are letters
.rom people who went out on the Inst
. ictoria and Umatilla. Newspapers
and periodicals are coming along reg
ularly this season and apparently
here is no congestion anywhere along
the line.
The city fathers will meet tonight |
for a session after their three weeks' I
holiday recess. They are all feeling |
pretty fri3hky after their respite and
now that they have dough in the
treasury they will doubtless vote to
pay the city’s bills without any for
hedings. Not that any of the sextette i
forboded much, however, for when the i
city was thousands in the red they
voted to pay bills Just as cheerfully
us if they owned a bank or two. The
meeting tonight will be in the city
clerk’s ofTice because It Is too cold to
try to heat up the regular council
chamber.
