two thousand cords will be cut and

ten teamsters and forty bead of stork
are employed hauling.
There are three general merchandise
store-, two roadhouses and one saloon!
'ti the camp, all of which arc doing • i
little business The one saloon is being j
respectably handled and is not doing
much damn.go to the community. Air.
Kltns states that even the half lug is
modified, which is to say that a jag of
lesser dimensions is now mote favored
than has previously been the case. The
populaco are inclined to social activi
ties the majority of which are of the
home op family type and there arc few
public entertainments. Practcnlly nil
the public functions are held tinder tlie*
auspices of the Arctic Brotherhood.
The recent tire in the A. 1!. building
is said to have caused actual damages
of about $7ou Air Kims stales that it
required the hardest fire fight in tho
history of the camp to save the entire
building from destruction and much
credit it due to the efficient volunteer
tile department who made a desperate
fight. Every body turned out and
helped even the indies. Air. Elms says
that in the absence of town politics is
compensated for by the annual school
election which is usually hotly contest
ed and develops a keen rivalry which
j is at times exceedingly bitter. This
j t ear however, it is expected that the
light will he continued with loss acrl

The proposed hall game between a
picked team of five players and a full
team threatens to not materialize. Ac
cording to the statement of some of the
fans this is not because the live man
team is not willing, hut because there
is difficulty in making up a full team
to meet the star players. It is to he
hoped however that a team will be
made up as a game of thAt nature
would undoubtedly draw a big crowd
and materially swell the Sweepstakes
fund.
