RUMORS OF MANY
CHAN6ES NOME
CONCERNS
Rumors of sundry and divers
changes in local business houses
are again rife and is supposedly
chargeable to spring fever as few
of them can be traced to a def
inite source. One of the most
prevalent reports is that either
Sol Lewis or Kracower Brothers
are planning to purchase the
N'onpariel but so far no definite
information can be obtained. The
present management of the Non
pariel is preparing to close out
but who will succeed is a ques
tion as yet. Other reports con
nect Simon Simson with the mov
ing picture business and it is
rumored that he is at present
dickering with the Eagles for a
lease or purchase of their equip
ment. There is also considerable
talk concerning an alleged pur
chase of the premises occupied bv
Seidenverg by Sol. Lewis. Re
garding this Mr Seidenverg
states that the building has been
sold, all right, but that he is the
purchaser, under certain provis
ions of his lease that he shall have
first preference and a ten days
' option. Kracower Bros., the own
: ers, have evidently made a deal
| of some character with Lewis, as
a telegram has been received by
Judge Reed authorizing him to
I notify Seidenverg to vacate with
1 in twenty four hours. Seidenverg
‘ asserts that he has complied with
all the provisions of his lease
and the purchase price has been
wired to the Scandinavian-Amer
ican bank within the ten day
clause of his lease. Further ru
mors say that the Emporium will
move into the building now oc
cupied by the Lomen studio but
this is denied by the Kristan
brothers. It is stated, however
that the stationery, photographic
supplies, etc., of the studio will
be moved to the Lomen Drug
gtore at a later period.
ICE OUT AT
SOLOMON
- i
Bert McCarthy, who arrived
from Solomon yesterday, reports
that the flowers dredge, which
was formerly one of the f Iodine
dredges, was caught by a sudden
rise of w'ater on Solomon river
and sunk before it could be re
leased. The machine is not in a
dangerous situation, however,
and can be raised without' ditti
culty. McCarthy also says that
the ice is out in front of Solomon
except for a strip of shore ice
about two miles wide and that
the natives have caugnt two
white whales which were hauled
out on the ice and cut up. The
catching of the whale is under
stood t6 be very unusual at this
time of the year as the cetaceans
are seldom found along this coast
earlier than June.

large number of friends.
Today, May 17, is the Norweg
ian independance day and the oc
casion will be duly celebrated by
the local Norwegians this even
ng with a banquet and dance in
he Sons of the North hall. A
committee has been engaged in
naking elaborate preparations
for the event for some days.
Pat Ivory was in town yester
>ay and reports that he expects
lo commence sluicing within a
few days. The water is not run
ning to any considerable extent
but a considerable pond of water
water close by the dump will fur
nish sufficient water to employ
a pump.
Henry Holtzerland, who with
Herman Quetsky, has been tak
ing out a dump on the famous
ild Lena claim on Dexter hill,
arrived in the city yesterday and
-eports that there is no sign of
summer in that section yet and
it is very probable that sluicing
w ill not commence for some time.
The outside mail, quantity or
weight unknown, arrived this
morning early. The consignment
also included the mail from the
Kotzebue section, the last that
will arrive until the opening of
navigation.
Seattle papers of early Febru
ary dates were received together
with New York publications dat
ed March 6. That’s reasonable
It is reported that the Middaugh
dredge on Hobson creek will be
raised today. The hull is report
ed under several feet of water but
a coffer dam has been built
around one of the hatches and a
little pumping will speedily float
the big machine as there are no
baks of consequence.

Fry will play Boland at odds oi
50 to 100 and Fromm will plaj

A notice sent out by the Valdez
station to the various signal corps
relavs states that the cableship
Burnside is at Seattle but will
not be able to leave there to re
pair the broken Sitka-Valdez
cable for five weeks. Valdez
also reports that there will be no
transport to Alaska this year.
Just why the cable ship cannot
look after the broken cable for
such a lengthy period is not ex
plained It can probably be at
tributed to the generally slipshod
methods of the war department
with relation to the cable service.
A meeting of the Ladies’ Aid
Society of the Federated church
was held yesterday, which was
largely attended. It was the

mentary to them.

the center of the arena and they
descend through a central trip
and escape through a tunnel that
has been secretly completed w ;h
a view to aiding just such an
emergency- A Pathe weeklv
showing Colonel Heeza Liar as
a camera man, will also be shown.

Billy Allan is some practical
joker, as all are aware who know
that genial hoot mon. The other
day Billy was standing in front of
his residence off Steadman ave
nue watching a neighbor shovel
the heavy accumulation of snow
from the side walk in front of his
premises. Just then two other
male residents of houses adjoin
ing that of the man who was
working appeared and offered
some facetious remarks to the
worker concerning the size of his
job, etc.
“Well,” remarked Billy, "he is
obeving the city ordinance.”
“What ordinance?” questioned
one of the new arrivals.
! “Whv, haven’t you heard,” re
plied Billy, “that anv person who
does not clean off their sidewalk
will be fined three dollars?”
"Ciet out 1” said the other
“S’fact,” • said Billy, "Don’t
von coo that I have cleaned off

The sidewalk was clean all right,
but it is no breach of confidence
to say that Billy’s son,.not Billy
did it.
“Gee,” said the doubting one,
“I didn’t think-they would soak
a fellow for not doing it, though.”
“But they will,” says Bill, “three
dollars.”
In five minutes both of the lis
teners were busy with shovels.
And Billy laughed.
