Marshal Jordan got back from
Candle this morning at 11:30 after a
aard trip. In spite of the fact that
ne had a string of 15 strong nogs me
going was not of the easiest. The
snow was very deep in places and cx
.remely light, as well, so that the
.ooting was bad. The marshal went j
.o Candle to get Carl Anderson who
was bound over to the grund Jury
some weeks ago by the commissioner’s
court on ;* charge of taking gold dust
from a cabin.
The unofficial returns have arriv
ed from the election nearly a month
ago at Fortuna Ledge. The n ws
was brought to St] Michael by dog
.earn and wired to Nome. Doubtless
.he figures are essenctially coi rect. j
i'hey are as follows: Lewis 1, Sul
.er 44, Wickersham 49, McCann 47,
Moran 13, Sundback 17, Allan 17,
Anderson 21, Coombs 17, Corrigan 46,
Daly 55, Jones 30, Julian 7, Reed 37,
Young 36, Cobl) 8. Grigsby 61, Scho
.ield 12, Gibney 10, Rowe 9, Wilson
64, wet 22, dry 57; for eight hours
62, against 1.
The large vote for Wilson for ter
ritorial road commissioner gives him
a present lead over Rowe of some
thing like 8 votes. Sulzer fell behind
Wickersham to the extent of 5 votes.
Reed dropped behind Corrigan in the
race for the legislature and the lend
ers now are Allan 789, Daly 811,
Coombs 769, Corrigan 747, Reed 736.
As has been previously suggested
n the Nugget it is possible that the
vote of I’oint Barrow may 3ettle the
lection ns regards the choice of dele
gate. If there should be a vote of 40
or 50 at that place as some expect
and It should not be about equally
livided the returns may also decide
who will be road commissioner and 1
whether Reed or Corrigan will go to
the legisalture. Wickersham and Sul
zer are now practically tied and the !
ifficial tally by the canvassing board
at Juneau will show the final out
come.

The impression one gets on reading
he little periodical is that It Is re
markably frank and honest In telling
the natives the things they should
know. There Is no glossing over the
unpleasant topics, no weakly ex
cuses such as arc often given by mis
guided uplifters of the aborigine. For
instance in an article entitled I'Boya j
and Girl, stay at Home,” a list 19 j
given of the Eskimos recently convict- \
ed of cnmia and the penalties they
received. The article states that Es
kimos lave no business around a

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—The with

treasury notes by Morgan and Com
pany last week which was announced
as done at the request of the issuing
governments Is now known to have
been caused by the failure of those

the two countries received subscrip
tions for the notes but did not de
liver. pending the receipt of Ameri

securities. These bonds were to be
borrowed by England and France
from their banks and people. Ap
parently, however, the people did not
respond to the call and as the gov
ernments did not have them they
could not offer them as security.
