(Suniu i K.iason was in town from
Hock creek yesterday to pick tip a
1 larger hoist for the firm of Kaason
Seppala and Burg. Those boys are
in tile monej and will he there with
the goods when the summer comes
again. This creek is one of great
promise and should be an attraction
to those who are in the prospecting
field. Conditions there lead one to
believe that. Bock creek will produce
a barrel of money yet. Mr. Prospector
pay attention to this:
B. W. .1. Heed is in receipt of a let- i
ter from his brother who is wire
chief on the S in tv Fe lailroad. The
letter is written from Fresna, Cal., in
jhnswer to one sent from (here in
which the high cost of living was
! mentioned. “You people in Nome
have Wot got anything on us here in
Fresno. Speaking of the price of
coal; soft coal sells here for $17 per
ton and people wear hard coal in place
of diamonds and lock them away at
night." And then they tell us all
about Sunny California and what we
| a re missing!
Mrs. E. B. Darling received news
! yesterday regarding Baldy. Baldy
| missing, can you imagine what that
t news meant to her? It is hard to
lose any pet, but to lose Baldy who
we all know is idolized by this lady,
and whom we all consider as the
hero of the northiand ,was Just a
little more than she could stand.
Every effort at consolation inet with
the same reply: "I don’t care what
you say, or what you think, I wan*
my Baldy." Hope is sincere in the
hearts of all, that the lady’s wish shall
meet with realization, and that ere
this, word has come to her that Baldy
is hack with Scotty.
Better have been received here

«
i’h;' tut of reindeer doing ten
miles in twenty-seven minutes will
be of interest to all dog men in Al
aska. It has been claimed for years
that the long-legged sports could not
come up to dogs in this distance and
the record put up by Bouls Aseok
luk at Mary’s Igloo yesterday has up
set all dope on that score.
The Oas-Hound-Express of Ernst
brothers piloted b> tleorge Wanger
yesterdaj made the dog team record ,
from here to Fort Davis and return
took like ttint of New oYrk call horse —
which is the slowest thing on earth;
not excepting the Pioneer caterpiller
engine— for George made the distance
in twenty minutes and the same num
ber of seconds.
A few days ago the editor of tills
paper was the recipient of a healthy
looking cigar with a Tiffany wrapper
which the donor nonchalantly remark
ed had cost him two hits! Of what!
The merchant who made the offering
would square himself with his vic
tim if he would call at the office and
slip one to Kd Divine, who now is
enjoying perfect health. Why pick on
the editor! Attention Jack Young!
Through his trainer, Lawrence Kerr,
Tom Shaughnessy of Solomon issues a
challenge to run or wrestle any man
of his age in the Seward peninsula.
Tom, who was for years an ardent
devotee of My Lady Nicotine has not
hit the pipe for almost twelve months
and feels like a top-not,cher welter
weight. However he still keeps a
stock of Van Dyke staples which he
hands out to his friends.
Telephone advices from Candle this
morning state that Bobby Brown is
as well as can be expected. Last
night he complained more of the in

dren to Candle. They are expected
to arrive tonight. Dr. Welch has

with snow falling.

some ice from an oil tank a lantern
had been placed on some sacks un
derneath the tank. Through some
cause or other the lantern tipped over
and set the sacks on lire, and would
had it gotten any headway have set
the tank aflame. Martin saw the
blaze from his residence and turned
in an alarm. In the meantime the
office staff had rushed to action and
put out the danger. The fire depart
ment were on the scene in short no

j ADVENTURES OF
J. RUFUS WALLINGFORD
Tonight’s instalment at the Proam
ts entitled "A Trap for Trapps" a big
comedy entertainment that fairly
sparkles wi^h originality. I.ouis Trapp
is the next to be dealth with, and
the bait used is a lucrative mall order
business. Wallingford and l’.laekie
have taken space in Trapp’s automo
bile salesroom, and for the considera
tion of $20 per month, receive the
privilege of using Trapp's name in
their business, which they call “The
Trapp Investment Co." The two work
in a clever way and the greedy Trapp
seeing the big alleged profits yearns
to get in oa the soft snap. He gets
in all right. A two reel dramatic
offering completes the show.
