THE EMPORIUM
KRISTAN BROS,
The mystery of how the fire
main on Steadman avenue be
came blocked with ice for a cou
ple of hundred feet was solved
by the fire committee after a
brief investigation. It develops
that the blocking of the pipe was
due to ice forming under one ol
the pipes to such an extent that
the joint9 was broken, thus per
mitting water to flow in and fill
the pipe. How long this condi
tion has endured no one knows as
that section of the main has not
.been tested for no one knows
how long. This would seem to
indicate some degree of negli
gence as it would appear iu every
way advisable to ascertain at in
tervals if the mains were in
working order.
Reports from Solomon today
bring news of an incident in that
section last night that under less
fortunate conditions might have
resulted in the death or serious
injury of two well known Nome
people, Mr. George Kilroy and
Miss Lewis. According to the
.iccoun: reaching the Nugget to*
a> over the long distance tele
phone. Kilroy and Miss Lewis,
vi ho were returning from Coun
cil after having participated in
the Canioogan dog race left Sol
omon yesterday morning for a
trip to the Ruby dredge on the
Casa de Paga The weather was
fair and everything looked favor
able for the journey at the time
of their departure. They reach
d the Casa without trouble and
were on their return when over*
takn by a blizzard and snow
storm, shortly after leaving East
Fork. At the latter point they
picked up a native who was mak
ing his way toward the coast and
having no dog team, he was
given a lift by Kilroy. The par
ty continued on toward Solomon
without thought of danger until
the blow finally became severe
As they were by this time an
equal distance from both Solo
mon and East Fork they contin
ued on. The snow finally became
so thick that the trail was oblit
erated and the party finally be
came lost with the result that
they were compelled to spend the
night in the open. Luckily the
weather was not cold or the story
might have had a most unhappy
ending but the trio reached Sol
omon at six this morning cold,
hungry and miserable, but unin
jured. According to their story
they continued on what they be
lieve to be a straight line for
Solomon but evidently wandered
in a circle. They finally decided
to stop as it became too dark to
see. With the help of the native,
whose name is said to be Jack
Brown, Kilroy built a shetler of
the sled, a pair of snow shoes and
the robe and the trio settled down
to pass the night as best they
could. With the coining of day
light the storm abated somewhat
and they resumed their journey,
finally arriving at their destina
tion after a trip of a couple of
miles. They were very tired and
also very hungry, having had
.nothing pto eat since early the
previous evening, but were not
injured in the least.

BURLESON OPTIMISTIC CONCERNING
ALASKA AERIAL MAIL ROUTES
A. P. A. Service
WASHINGTON, May a—
That the bids for the establish
ment of an aerial mail service in
Alaska to be opened May 12 will
be entirely satisfactory to the
postoffice department and will
lead to the inauguration of a
system of mail distribution tfiat
cause a world wide sensation, is
the view of Postmaster General
Burleson concerning the contem
plated government air service in
the northern territory 1 he pro
ject is already commencing to
attract wide attention and the
announcement of the results of
the bidding is being awaited with
great interest. Burleson stated
today that he believed the bids
will prove satisfactory in every
way and the department will
secure, an air mail service over
the seven routes designated in
tlie government plan that will at
tract the attention of tin; world.
It is understood that several
bids have been submited up "To
the present and more will prob
ably be received before the ex
piration of the time allotted for
tiling. The scheme has greatly
interested the various companies
engaged in the construction of
aeroplanes and a majority of the
concerns will probably submit
bids.

ROWE COMPLETES
HARD JOB
W. J. Rowe lost a valuable
horse while engaged in hauling a
^tearn scraper from the Dexter
section to Rocky Mountain creek
Sunday morning. The death of
the animal is said to have been
the culmination of a series of
hard luck episodes tha may be
said to be most unusual, and
which would probably have caus
ed many to throw up their con
tract. During the course of trans
porting the machinery to its
new resting place on Rocky
Mountain creek. Rowe has twice
been compelled to break a twen
ty mile trail through heavy snow,
a costly and tedious process by
itself, before the machinery could
be moved. After getting started
many obstacles were met which
rendered the work difficult and
once two horses were nearly lost
through the load sliding dowr
upon the animals on a steep spot
Fortunately the animals escapee
unhurt but further bad luck wa?
added by the death of the horse
mentioned. The animal is said
to have died of inflammation ol
the bowels- The work was fin
ished, however, in elue time.
