and delicious this year.

qualified success. Two weeks ago
he plowed, harrowed and planted with
wonderful success. This morning in
talking about his patch Lee remark
ed "It’s just wonderful how things
grow in Nome. You know I’ve had
two fine crops of weeds in the same
number of weeks, with prospect of an
other. I think my garden seeds are
growing the wrong way—towards the
bedrocwk; however, time wilt tell—I’ll
give them lots of It.”
Shortly after five o'clock this morn
ing the north wind parted the ice
about five hundred yards off. shore and
a big lead opened up from below the
milk ranch a mile to the westward.
The rippling waters of the Bering sea
pounded once more on the old caisson
of the Lighterage C mpany. If this
wind will continue for another twenty
four hours it will move the ice far
enough to give us an opening and
allow some of the smaller schooners
to hike down the coast.

Warren, for many years extradition
olflcer for Alaska with headquarters

has almost been in the employ of the !
government ever since.
Deputy Marshal Joel Terrill will be
among the arrivals in Nome on the
first boat bringing with him H. Wag
ner the ex-9oldier who is under ar

rell who had a warrant for his ar
rest—issued here before the leavng
of the last boats.
ltoad Commiiss^oner IT IA. Jones
returned to the city from Fort Davis
this morning where he has been over
hauling the Nome river bridge. Dan
states that the ice is still in Nome
river but that much overflow is run
ning. The channel'wns opened up by
blasting and the water is cutting in
good sahpe.
Mail Carrier Eric Johnson arrived
in the city at noon today with a very
light mail—from up river points.
Ohere Is but one mail more to arrive
over the winter route and then the
clogs will receive a well deserved rest, j
Harry Bloomfield arrived with the mail |
from Solomon where he has been for <
the past two days. He reports the
Solomon river wide open and that Tom !
Shaughnessy is busy with native help
keeping the railroad bridge clear of ice.
To the Bangor creek dredge goes
the honors of being the first dredge
of the season to turn over. The big
jinachine has been chewing up the
gravel since the 2l9t 'inst. This boat
is digging in ground close to fifty feet
deep; everything is thawed ahead of
the boat and the gold-saver is hand
ling close to her capacitly of two
thousand yards a day. J. J. Keenon
is in charge.
Murder most foul was committed
by 1’hll Kessler on yesterday after
noon and the strange thing about it Is
that Phil is quite proud of the fact
and the community are inoret than
pleased.
The dark deed was perpetrated at
the milk ranch, where, to satisfy the
craving of eplcurian tastes—one of the
cutest fattest little yearlings was kill
ed and stripped of its hide. This beef
weighed when dressed four hunderd
an three pounds. It now hangs in the
Independent Meat Market where it will
not remain long as fresh killed young
beef is not often seen in Nome and
will be quickly bought up.
Eld JL. Holt with his self-starting
smile, is full of speedometers, car
buretters and magneto’s. In fact for
the past three weeks he talks of He
fiesta, Barney Oldfield and all of the
speed kings in the automobile world.
Why? Well, you must have heard that
Ed is getting in a car of the very lat
est model put out by Henry Ford of
Peace and Sea Jitney fame. It is the
very last word in auto-construction,
and now that we have an extra hospi
tal in the city we are willing that
Ed Holt may become a member of the
Nome Automobile Club. Toot! Toot!
Billy Marx, the reindeer king of the
Teller country write to Carl Loinen
telling him of the wonders of spring
time in the reindeer business. Ideal
weather marked the fawning season—•
which is now almost through and Billy
says that are so many of the little
strangers one would think that a flock
of jack rabbits had gotten In among
the deer. Constant vigilance is exer
cised to keep the cringing cunning lynx
out of the herds as this wild-cat-of
the-snows can cleanup more baby deer
in an hour than a three day blizzard
can account for.
Wednesday next Is Decoration day
and is a legal holiday. The banks
and the government offices will all
be closed and there is much talk
among the business houses of clos
ing at noon hour. Why not close
here in Nome as they do in the larg
est cities In the states? We have no
great exciting rush of business at this
time of the year! Somebody start
the ball rolling and enjoy a few hours
of God's golden sunshine in the open
Instead of being cooped up with a
bunch of onions or hardware all day!
A time is coming when we canot afford
to spare the few hours we can avail
ourselves of at this dull season. And
then there’s so much work we can do
—when we want t.o!
Along with the ducks and the geese
come other signs of spring more al
luring in the shape of the shining
yellow metal recovered from the win
ter dumps. The local banks have
started In to use their gold scales once
more and have handled several clean
ups already. Some of these come from
i the submarine and some are from
Center creek. Other little dabs find
their way to the melting pot from va
rious sections of the country. Con
siderable dust will be handled from
the Dime creek section this summer
but the metal will not l» here until
the end of June.
The city treasury was fattened up
over nine hundred dollars this morning
when one of the leading grocery firms
In the city came through with their
taxes. Since the publication of the
delinquent tax list many of the out
standing amounts have been paid. It
Is stated that the city will take dis
tress warrant proceedings in connec
tion with property on which the taxes
remain unpaid. This action will bo
taken on Monday next.
