Agitation still continues for a mass
meeting to nominate a citizens’ ticket
eor the coining election. Just when
and where it will be held Is not
known yet but it certainly will not
1 take place on Saturday night as that
would Interfere with the attendance

of the Kinglits of Robert Emmet. It
seems probable that a call will be Is
sued for the meeting early next week.
Women voters will be urged to attend

1 The courthouse was a chilly place
today owing to the fact that the
boiler room was flooded by water to
a depth of nearly two feet. The thaw
of the past two or days along with
I occasional rain squalls caused an ac
! cumulation of water. Tihs would
ngve found Its way to tha baaoh aau
I not Into the boiler room but for the
j tact that tbe drain lending to the
I beach was clogged up at or near its
outlet. It is supposed. Work was be- :
„un early thsi morning to clear the
drain but at noon the courthouse was
still without steam heat.

The reindeer fair at Hot Springs will;
be utlcndcd by severul Nome people
but not so many as had been expected.
i he fair is unique and is said to be
worth going a long way to see but1
owing to the press of business anu
professional matters quite a numbei
who hud planed to attend will not be
..bio to do so.
Anss Anpher, C. J. I,omen. Win. N.
Marx, Dan Crowley and Frederick
j-arson. This parly will travel to the j
springs on sledges hauled by reindeer.
Tautuk, the government chief*herder,
of the Nome herd, will guide the
part}' and have charge of the slea
i deer. His wife Mary will likewise
go along. Tautuk left Nome a few
uays ago to return to Flambeau river
where the Nome herd le and on Sun
day there was a report current that
he was lost. It developed, however,
that one of his men had got lost and
turned up at Cape Nome instead of at
the herd back of Safety.
Tautuk was expected to return to
Nome last night with the sled deer
that are to be used on the trip to the
ttur, but he did not arrive. Whether
his delay was due to the deep snow
or to the non-arrival of tbe driv'er
is cot known
it is expected that he will arrive
today and that the party will leave
tor Hot Springs on Friday morning.
As there is so much snow on the trail
it seems likely that the trip will be
slow. There js considerable specula
latlon as to whether the deer can plow
through the deep snow better than
uogs. The deer enthusiasts maintain
that such Is the case.
