LONDON. Dec. SO.—The reply to the
American note relative to the con
fiscation of mall containing contra
band of war by the mail authorities
is now in course of preparation and
will probably be forwarded to the Uni
ted States shortly.
It Is said in official circles that the1
government will not be Inclined to re- :
cede from the position that such selz
,res are entirely justified by the rules
f war. An announcement In the Post
today asserts that the government is
not tampering with mail matter which
does not appear to contain contraband
under an X ray examination and all
mall passing the teat Is reforwarded
immediately to lt9 destination.

Intention of entering the skll contest
scheduled for curnlval day and It Is
probable that a large and fast field
will face the starter. The final de
tails of the race will be arranged ai
the Board of Trade tonight
The recorders office will remain open
until midnight on the last day of th;
>ear In order to allow the filing of as
sessment proofs and other document;
which must be on file befc re the first
day of January. Commissioner Fraw
ley states that under the new mw
failure to record notice of assessmen'
work for the current year constitutes
an abandonment of the claim, hence
['here will probably be a considerable
number of filings between the present j
and the last day of the month.
i
lip to noon today no formal entries
j had been received for the Boschen cup i
race although It Is definitely known j
that there will be at least three en
tries and possibly five. Ross Is salt .
to be a sure entry and also Riley and 1
Delezene with possibly Jackson and
one other. The absence of many en
1 tries Is ascribed to the fact that the
speed requirements are such that It Is
practically useless to enter animals
that do not possess the-highest stand
ard of speed qualities. The entries
will probably be handed In at the time
I of drawing for position this evening.
The twelfth episode of the Million
Dollar Mystery at the Dream tonight.
Tomorrow afternoon at two thirty
sharp a continuation of the big pic- j
ture will be given as a special at
traction consisting of the thirteenth
episode under the title of “The Secret
Agent from Russia." This issue is
of vital Interest to all who are fol
lowing the plot of the thrilling ro
mance as it introduces two new stars
into the cast—an Italian countess and j
Mr. Irving Cummings, a famous lead
ing man In the picture world. The
great serial is becoming more specta
uular and richer in color with each
installment. Tonight's show will havt
tw o additional numbers: “Texas Kelly j
at Bay" and a split reel comedy that’s |
all comedy. No show Friday night, j
A strange device carrying with it an
odor of gasoline and making a racket I
like and auto with a busted thlng-me
bob passed through the streets last
right about dusk creating a considera
ble amount of attention from the eve
ning shoppers. Seated on the queet
contraption was a well known young
man who was guiding its erratic course
by dint of much muscular exertion in- ■
eluding a liberal application of leg
power. The machine was not a;
strange visitor from Mars or some
other remote sphere, as might have
occurred to some, but was nothing
more than a motor sled built by a
local mechanical genius who has high
hopes that he has secured a strangle
hold on the winter transportation prob
lem. The machine worked fairly well
but some defects will have to be rem
edied before It can be called a com
plete success.
| Things are moving along nicely for
the big Aksala carnival on December
31 at Eagle hall. The entertainment
committee reports that one of the best
programs ever given in Nome will be
seen that night. The various booths
will bo all In readiness as those In
chargo have been working toward that
end for some time and now have every
thing in perfect order. The cabaret,
so we are told, will be one of the big
features of the carnival. This Is an
entirely new departure in entertain
ments In Nome. It will be held In the
little Eagle hall, up stairs over the club
rooms and some new and startling
stunts will be pulled off there. Also,
you will have an Idea that you are on
the big outsldo. The following are the
chairmen of the various booth com
mittees who will be assisted by a large
force of assistants all of whom have
