Where does John Nestor get his
up-to-the-minute papers? In a quiet
way today he brought to light a Seat
tle paper dated April 3 which is
eighteen days later than the time the
i last first class mail left that point for
here. “I could show you some later
than that too.” said the genial Nes
tor. but you might get too interested
and the censor might take a hand.”
How do you do it John?
George Burger is authority for the
statement that a large division of the
army of General Brant passed ovet
the city about four o’clock this morn
ing. We are not surprised at the ar
rival of the geese hut certainly can
not account for George Burger being
on the lookout at such an unheard
| of hour.
Counting up to eleven hundred and
ten George had to quit for it hurt th"
hinges in his neck. The game war
den has been notified and has cheeked
these birds off. Who says this is not
a game country!
J. V. Sheldon, manager of the Al
aska bank, has received appointment
as treasurer and disbursing officer of
the territorial road fund for this di
vision. In other words he will lie cus
todian of the road and trails approprl
tion which amounts to $30,000 for this
year.
There is no salary attendant to this
position and the holder is compelled
to put up a large gilt-edged bond.
We are anxious to get better roads
and trails no matter how.
Mr. Sheldon will accept the position
and has notified the survey-general in
accordance.
Now is the time to take action if
you so desire to raise any vegetables
in your little garden. Foodstuffs are
away up and every roil.id raised for
the table means money ia your pocket.
According the experiments carried out
in Nome w*ith garden truck the succu
lent turnip will grow anywhere—un
der any conditions—and 'is a great
table food.
Mr. Keene, who r^adcs in the old
Fink house, raised over six hundred
pounds of the finest kind of turnips
, last year and is using them yet—for
they keep well. You will surprise
■yourself if you experiinen* a little on
these lines and it will help like the
dickens to keep the grocery bill down.

BILL BROOKINS HAS
TOUGH TRIP TO COONGIL
Bill Brookins of Council arrived
here four days ago with tlus Ferger
dahl—who was a very slelt man—and
Bill set out for Council the same
I night with a six hundred pound load.
Through some cause or other he got
off the trail at Bonanza and spent two
hard days and nights locating himself
eventually dropping into the Casnde
paga country near the head of that
river.
Brookins was all in, without feed,
resting at the roadhouse. Battler
hut managed to make East Fork yes
terday where he found John Battler
helped him with half a feed for his
■ ...—
dogs; he then rested ten hours and
set out for Council by way of Bast
Fork.
He was advised by Rattler not to
attempt to try and make It through
until he had recovered from the ef
fects of his hard trtp but decided to
take a chanec as the trails were all
shot to pieces.
Reports from Council this morning
stute that Brookins got through hut
was exhausted after his strenuous
trip.
