considerably Increased.

Bored to tears, and driven oft his
I feet by the wolf pack, Sam Taggart,
who sojourned in our midst for many
years, decided to leave the outside
and rvtu r> north again. He left Se
uttla on Ihe jbth of February, accord
ing to a letter received here this
mail. Sam is taking in a stock of
goods—mostly peilshables--to Fair
banks over the Valdez frail. He is
doing his own freighting having
brought st\eral head of horses along.
Victor Julian, manager of the Ju
lien dredge on Osborne creek Is hav
ing the time of his life outside. In a
letter received by Charles Alllot yes
terday Vic tells of a wonderful clam
patch, a "saspernuglous" orchard and
shady gungalow set In an acre of
real carnations on Balnbridge island
near Port Blakeley. But he'll be back
in the spring all right and the mos
quito crop on Osborne gives prom
ise of a buzzing season. Welcome
j home, Viol
The projected movement of the
Hobson creek dredge on to the mouth
of Dexter creek by the Union Con
struction Company has been put off
owing to the mildness of the weather
and lateness of the season. Jim Fraw
ley and associates are contemplating
the working of the Aliddaugh beat on
Afanilla this summer. This would
necessitate the turning of the boat
around, digging its way through tail
ings several hundred feet to the
mouth of Alanllla, as well as the taking
out of the big Pioneer siphon at the
lower end ;;f the aiiscovloh ground.
Whilst making a trial spin with his
I racing string along the beach on Sat
urday last, Fred Ayer’s loose leaders
spied a reindeer meandering about in
the snow. The deer had evidently
strayed from a herd. It also got a
line on the dogs and hit for the hard
trail. The animal, through fright,
made a bee line for Ayer's team who
delightedly rushed to meet him. All
time Fred was riding the brake, but
to no avail. Air. Deer fell on the team,
amt the' team fell on him. Fred Ayer
worked himself black in the face,
smote his dogs unmercifully, and
eventually succeeded in getting the
animal back to his sleigh. The rein
deer will recover but Ayer says his
dogs never will for the small of a
reindeer herd will at all times take
thetr minds off winning Derbys or
latch-races.
THEY SLEPT
BY THE LAKE
Mr. anil Mrs. Louis Stevenson had
quite an exciting trip returning from
the Kruzgamapa Hot Springs on
| Tuesday last and were it not for the
extremely mlldnes of the.weather it
; might have ended disastrously. The
trails were exceptionally heavy; so the
genial Lou played leader i ll day In
the deep snow. .Towards pvenlng a
large overflow was encountered along
the west end of Salmon lake about
three miles from the Nugget road
house. The dogs were all in,, every
body was tired out, so there was
nothing to do but camp in the open.
Fortunately the Stevensons had a
good fur robe and canvas on the
sleigh, so they piled into the snow
1 for the night.
At break of day they hit the trail
with Mrs. Stevenson on the handle
bars, Louis deciding to walk as the
going was too heavy for the dogs.
Mrs. Stevenson arrived at the Nugget
roadhouse and explained matters to
"Mine Host” Peterson who stalght
way proeveded to see Mr. Stovenson
through. The party rested over at
the Nugget for twenty four hours, in
the meantime phoning to Nome for
Leonard Seppala to meet them with
his Siberians, which he did at Hob
son creek next day. They arrived in
town in due course little the worse
for their adventure.
LOST—White Siberian pup, black
head. Call up Black 131.

HIBERNIANS CELEBRATE
ST. PATRICK’S DAY
I —
"Oil the fighting races dont’ die out.
If they seldom die in their beds,
For love Is first In their hearts, no
doubt,”
Said Bourke, then Kelly said;
"When Michael, the Irish archangel,
stands,
The angel with the sword,
| And the battle-dead from a hundred
I lands
Arp ranged in one big horde,
Our line, that for Gabriel’s trumpet
waits,
Will stretch three deep that day,
From Jehosaphnt to the Golden
Gates—
Kelly and Bourke and Shea.': ..
“Well here’s thank God for the race
and the sod'”
Said" Kelly and Bourke and Shea.
And the race and the sod wore well
represented at ‘.he annual dance of
•he Itobert Emmet's which was held
at the Eagle hall on Saturday night.
The hall was tastefully decorated and
there was not a dull moment, for the
happy spirit of the Hibernian was
evident from the moment one enter
ed the hall until the closing hour
which was earlier than usual owing to
the fact that it was the Sabbath
morr’
It sure was some successful affair—
good music, a dandy floor, and a
care-free congenial crowd tripping
the light fantastic all contributed to
mnkmp the St. Patrick’s ball one—
If not the greatest—of the winter so
cial events In Nome.
VON HINDENBERG
IN DISGRACE
What look • 1 like a circus parade
and what was in reality a section of
the 'reindeer artillery’ left town to
attend the reindeer fair at Mary’s
Igloo on Saturday last. Six sleighs,
drawn by six reindeer, with the fn
mous Von Hindenberg breaking trail
and Held Marshal Marx in command
travelled briskly along the Bessie
••oad.
All w< nt merry as a marriage bell
' and Dan Crowley who was riding In
inous Von Hlndenberg limousine sang
lustily "This Is the life” the chorus I
being taken rr all along tlie line by ,
Carl and Harry Lomen, Miss \npher, j
Mrs. Shields a.id family, Tautnk and i
the lady Tautuk.
On arriving at the foot-hills at i
Dry creek “Yen Hlndenberg” met a j
mustier on the trail wearing a green j
tie Hum, :■ uiidfrly remembering that
it was the "17th of Old Oireland” he
refused 'o i jM* town, kicked, plung
ed an ovontu; l'.y laid down and re
fused to budfeC.
Try as he would Billy Marx could
not get Von tlinderberg to his feet,
so whistling the “Marseillaise” he
sculled h ■ sled up to the reindeer’s
starboard i.'j.o.'r, tipped him over
and lashe * ’ itu on board, then giv
ing instructions tc Dan to proceed
under sealed orders Billy hitched Bus
ter to the sled and finally arrived in
Nome late in the afternoon.
Field Marshal Marx left with Vic
tor Anderson’s dog team this morn
ing and will probably catch up with
the reindeer column at the Nugget
roadhouse.
