Mr3. Davison died yesterday after
nr.on at the Holy Cross hospital. Shy
left six small children one eight days
old, another about a year and so on
up the scale. They are unusually
blight children and it Is a great pity
that they are deprived of a mother's
love and protection though they still
have their father who scarcely can
enry the double burden of attending
to the young ones and enrning a live
hed for them at the same time.

Dream theater commence d yesterday j
morning and Is being rapidly push - I
ed under the supervision of Mr. |
Buckley. The while a.spect of this ]
popular playhoues is being changed

old rectangular appearance will be j
supplanted by curves. The house will
of course be dark until the work Is
completed.
The entertainment committee of
the chamber of commerce met last
night at the Golden Gate to con3'der
the details of an affair to be given
under the auspices of the chamber.
The date chosen is Saturday the 20th
of January. The affair is to be called
a commercial congress. It is to con
sist of fun and frolic. A member of
the committee says it will be an en
tertainment unique in the annals of
Nome. There will be eats, drink3,
talks'and music and a lot of o*her
things. The entrance fee will be
the trifle cf four bits and it will seem
as nothing compared with the enjov
m<nt and good derived from the. show.

mrn. Polet and Dean were on the Job.
Henry Burgh had to be at council

There Is quite a bit of real news
of this section in the Seattle papers
issued shortly after the arrival of the
last boats from Nome. At least tome
f it will be real news to people here,
me item Is that local-grown vg ■
blcs sell at a lower price here than
the same kind of truck sells in the
■Seattle markets. Another, the Squir
rel river district prodigies so much
-arden truck that the Nome market
:< flooded with it and the Seattle Job
iers have been crowded from the Be- j
eg 3ea market. And here Is good J
ii ws, too, potatoes, rutebagas, turn
po. carrots beets, celery, kale, rhu
iarb, cranberries and huckleberries

ire customarily brought down to
.'ome by dogmobile from his Krut
remapa ranch by Pete Yeager in the
nonth of July. Many have apreclat
d those early summer cranberries
onbtless. Also. Martin Moran 13 one
if the lending northern ranchers. And
o It goes. Verily one has to go j
iway from Alaska to hear the real
uith about our country.

l
News of the actual status of the .
elegate contest Is as follows: There [
ire five pracincts In the third divis'on ;
which were not expected to get In j
their returns until some time in Ion - j
urry. These are Nushagak, Nagnek,
Kegg.nng, ChnggUing and Reindeer, j
It Is quite probable that these have |
not arrived yet as no wire has been
received stating that returns from 1
the third division are all In and It Is
pr s*ible that the canvassing board is,
pi stponlng announcement of the re- ,
■ult of the election until they shall be,
heard from. The canvassing board at 1
Juneau consists of Governor Strong, j
Collector of Customs Pugh, and Pec- j
rotary of the Territory Davidson.
Their count may be contested. It is
sa'd. and the Usuance of a certificate
delayed until congress has passed on
the returns. There seems to be no
possible way of knowing who will be
declared the winner and until it is j
finally settled one wish seems as good
as another.
The city fathers met in regular 1
session lust night In the office of the j
city clerk, where the temperature j

gree, instead of in the council cham

tendance outside of the members of
