work and awaits Ihe clearing off of
the snow to allow him to proceed witn

two days he has been on Otter creek
engaged In this class of work.
Today 'is Decoration Day and is a
Public Holiday. All of the stores in
the city were closed in honor of the
occasion as well as the banks and pub
lic offices. The general appearance of
the streets—which were practically |
deserted—would lead one to believe
that everyone was busy in their houses j
or gardens.
The steamer t'mat'll la was the first
lioat to arrive in Nome last year. She
dropped vichor in the roadstead at 5
o'clock on Saturday morning June 10
and the first pasengers ashore were
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Harnett. The Vic

the states for a couple of months. He
is a busy man just now and has his
hands full of work which compelled
him to wield the sledge today.
The Alaska Lighterage Co ware g -*
ting their yards In order today and
had a full crew gathering up the rem
nants of where a big coal pile stood
last fall. Kqulpped with screens they
gathered up every particle of the car
bonaceous mineral which was caret ally
sacked .and carted off. The site still
remains and later in the summer will
see the erection of another pile of that
necessary but costly commodity which
we are by nature compelled to use.
Advices from Council this afternoon
state that the Wild Goose dredge on
Ophlr will start up tomorrow or the
day after. At present they are both
ered with the anchor ice at the bot
tom of the pond on which they are
using Giant powder. There is quite
a lot of frost in the ground this spring
and chances ard they may not be able
to run for very long. Last year this
boat did not commence operations un
til the end of June. Three or four years
ago the crew were laid off on the
Fourth of July and thawing had to be
resorted to.
There is joy in schoolvllle right now,
