py” MoDougalL, proprietor of the
Nome Drug Store, on a semi
0 business and vacation trip, the
first since he returned to Nome
five years ago, and .re-entered

ed business.
"Cappy” is a member of the
Territorial Board of Pharmacy,
and expects to make contacts
with the various members of the
Board on his way thru Alaska,
which will take him to Seward
01 and other southwestern towns if
not delayed too long by bad fly
ing weather. In that case he
might abandon his trip over the
railroad and fly direct to Juneau
from Fairbanks.
While in the States he will par

from Nome, the services of J. J.
* O’Leary have been engaged. Mr.
O’Leary is a recognized register
cd pharmacist in good standing
in Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and
Washington, and the people of
Nome may indeed feel confident
in having an efficient person to
take care of prescriptions and
other needs in medicine during
Mir. MoDougall's departure.
Federated Church to Hold
Good Friday Service
Good Friday is one of the sol
emn and sacred days of the
church year. It is fitting there
fore that the church should cal!
all men to prayer, and to a deep
er consideration of the meaning
of life.
The service at the Federated
Church, Friday night, April 7, at
8 p.m. brings to the public anoth
er Drama Club production, Ken
neth Sawyer Goodman’s fine play
"Dust of the Road." The play de
picts in a vivid way a man’s tern
ptation to depart from' the path
of honesty, and his final triumph
over the evil impulse. All who
witness this stirring drama will
doubtless recognize in it the re
P flection of their own struggles
against evil tendencies.
The play is based on the in
teresting old tradition that Judas
is allowed to return to earth
once a year to plead with some'
soul tempted to betray friend
ship.
This service is distinctly a re
ligious service and not a show.!
There will be an offering, and no
* other charge for admission. AMi
are welcome.

MUSHES 54 MILES IN
A DAY TO BRING AID
FOR INJURED HUNTER
According to a story in the
Dawson News of recent issue the
old spirit of the North is far
from dead and they still make
the lads who can “take it ” up
there. <
“Arthur Olson,” said the News,
"located” this winter at the Half
way House on the Yukon, 27
miles north of Dawson, accident
ally shot himself in the foot with
a .22 rifle while out rabbit hunt
ing.
"E. A. Janeau, placer miner on
the Forty Mile River, mushing
down river en route to the Forty
Mile from Dawson, arrived at
the Halfway House but a short
time after the accident. Mr. Jan
eau immediately turned about
and came back to Dawson the
same day to inform authorities
of the accident and to send a dog
team down to get the injured
man.
“Shortly after the musher’s
arrival back in the city, the fast
est dog team at Moosehide was
dispatched down-river to pick up
the young man and bring him to
the hospital for treatment and
have the bullet removed from his
foot.”
If you don’t know what we
mean by the spirit of the north
being still alive,* or the North
having the lads that can take it,
try a 54mile mush some day.
