yet received one of our calenders, will give us
their name, we will be glad to see that one is
delivered to them.
D. E. CROWLEY
Chris Gollen and John Shafer have
taken a lease on a bench claim on
Anvil creek and will proceed to the
round today to commence their labor:
looking for the paystreak which is
thought to linger somewhere in that
vicinity
Three large team loads of lumber
eoal. oil and groceries were sent out
to various outfits on Dexter by W. J.
Rowe this morning. Owing to the bad
state of the trails recently, the miners
in that section have become rather
short of supplies and are now sending
out large quantities of commodities.
The mall arrived alst night in charge
of Carrier Johnson, who made the
run straight through from Solomon
The consignment was of limit size and
contained both first and second class
mostlv cf mid December dates. Thf j
batch was distributed with the usua’
celerity and the whole was ready foi
its owners before nine o’clock
George Forrest, Harry Clark, Billy
Shott, Jack Aegan and other Dexterites
will leave for the scene of their hopes
and labors on Dexter this afternoon
Forrest and Clark have finally settled
the legal difficulties over the ground
on which the recent strike was made
and operations will now commence In
earnest.
The serious weather conditions pre
vailing outside are indicated in the
uncement from the telegraph ofil
cials at Valdez today, stating that
messages to all points east are sub
ject to indefinite delay In transmission
except Vancouver, Victoria and Ta
coma. The bulletin states that the
Federal Telegraph Company, a new
telegraph company operating a land
and wireless service on the Pacific
coast has one wire open to San Fran
cisco but no wires to the east.
According to information received by
Mr. James Fehse, local representative
of the railway mall service, the next
first class mail will not arrive here
until February 16. This will include
the mall vhch departed from Seattle
on December 22 and 30. The batch
left Tanana on January 27 and con
sequently will not arrive until the
stated date. All other first class malic
are entirely cleaned up, according to
the information received and the next
few mails will, as a consequence, con
tain nothing but second class matter
Tonight the ball games at Eagle hall
will be the attraction for the sport
loving ones of Nome. The opening
game will be between the Pirates and
Horseshoes and is expected to develop
a strong Interest as the teams have
many boosters. The Northern Lights
will tangle up with the soldiers In the
second spasm and this will probably
be the game of the evening as the
Fort boys are determined to pay the
Horseshoes for their one and only defeat
administered a couple of weeks ago
The games will commence at eight
thirty Tickets are on sale at Rose’s
The Board of Trade will hold a bil
liard tournament commencing next
week and have hung up a string of
handsome prizes for the local cue
artists. A handsome specimen of the
cue makers art Is to be given together
with a valuable watch fob made for
the occasion, and also a silver mounted
flask which is also a work of art. The
contest will be fourteen inch balk line
and Is open to all. Twenty two en
tries have so far been received, at
testing the Interest of the cue tn*^
The prizes are on exhibition at the
well known establishment.
A. Polet received two letters from
Delegate Wlckersham on the last mail
relative to the harbor and stat
ing that he has the matter In hand
and will use all possible endeavor to
press the business along the desired
conclusion. He Intimates, however,
that hs will hava to wait until oiroum
stances are propitious before attempt
ing to force matters In any great de
gree. He also states that he Is In
communication with Joseph Chilberg,
who is representing the Chamber of
Commerce on the Pacific coast, and
•vill work with him in any way possible
n pusihng the harbor along. The
lelegate says that he wishes to get into
■ontaet with all others who have a
tnowledge of the conditions attending
toast wise shipping, the needs for a
tarbor, etc., so that he can have them
ippear and give such evidence when
he matter is brought up before the
•ongresslonal committee. \Vickersha,rl
•peaks In a very hopeful way of the
natter and says that he will go every
•hing in his power to secure the harbor
f it Is possible.
As some discussion has arose as to
the eligibility of native reams or
earns driven by native drivers, In the
\il Alaska Sweepstakes it may be stat
'd that the minutes of a meeting of the
Kennel Club held at the Board of
i'rade restaurant on April 23, 1195,
show that a motion was made by O.
J Lumen, and subsequently passed
.orbids entries of native driven teams
m all races held under the auspices
of the Kennel Club, with the one
exception of the Boschen cup race.
Cnless the club decides to change
.his ruling is effectually prevents the
entry of such teams and drivers.

HAVE AMENDMENT
P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. t.—The senate
Judiciary committee today heard the
representatives of the anti woman’s
suffrage organization In opposition to
the woman's suffrage constitutional
amendment. The anti’s put up a
strong plea against the amendment
basing their argument largely on the
supposed lack of fitness of women for
the exercise of the ballot privilege
What Impression they produced on the
minds of the solons Is difficult of
conjecture.

BASE BALL GAMES
TONIGHT
“Yes, we are going to clean the
Horseshoes tonight, said Capt. Barth
olomew of the Pirates, to a bunch
of fans this morning. “Just watch ua
do a Ittle blacksmith work on those
Clydesdales. We are sure out to win
despite the fact that we have lost
our invincible third baseman. You can
bet on us as strong as you like, we
will bring home the bacon."
"Capture those bandits? Well, I
should say so! They haven't, got a
chance,” thus spoke “Little Joe,” the
captain of the Horseshoes to his friends
this noon. “We have two new men In
the field tonight. It will make no
difference to us. We can clean those
outlaws with seven men.”
Thus stands the game between the
Horseshoes and the Pirates at the
Eagle hall tonight.
"We beat them before and behind
and will do i* again tonight. Those
army boys belong to us. We have
thelrg oat and don’t want any other
team licking them," said the youngest
of the Lomen's this afternoon.
"Oh, yes, the Horseshoes cleaned us
last game. Purely '‘horseshoes.” It
was won in the first innings. A freak
game, and, like the “one fool In the
family" story, there is a freak game
j In every series and they got it." "To-1
night the Northern Lights will cap- ■
ture the United States army. Watch
the Northern Light's play ball." said
A.1. Look out for the Illuminations.
You will enjoy the fireworks."
Now comes the army: "eBat the
Northern Lights. I should say so.
During the game tonight the Northern
Lights will be as bright as London
during a Zeppelin raid, Jauntily re
marked Pettit of the army team today
"A! Lomen says that they have
captured our goat for keeps. The fact
"f the matter is that they never cap
tured him at all. We Just let him go
for a run around and he will be back
'n his stable at Fort Davis again to
night.”
The baseball directors are sure of
a big gate at tonight's games as the
players are showing up to greater
advantage. The weak teams have
been strengthened, also some new
timber will be seen on the floor.
Doc Kempt is on his feet again and
will have his aggregation of rooters i
their with their noise machines.

FIRE SWEEPS BELLINGHAM
DESTROYING LIVES
A. P. A Service.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 3.— i
Fanned Into fury by a driving fifty
mile wind, a fire which had Its In
ception in a small blaze in a bakery,
swept away one solid block in the
older part of town and also blotted
out the lives of a number of people.
Just how many lost their lives Is not
known but it appears certain that four
or five were Incinerated in the Great
Northern hotel and it is believed that
several other perished in the Shields
block and other major structures
The loss has not been estimated but
will reach a considerable figure.
