IDITAROD MAY
There is a possibility that the
Yukon Gold Company will erect a
large powerhouse at Iditarod city.
It is said by those in a position to
know that the question of fuel is
likely to be a set ions one for the
company unless other sources of
suppiv can lie tapped, an 1 it is that
which leads to the belie! that this
place may he chosen as the site for
the new powerhouse.
The amount of wood available on
Otter and tributary creeks will not
l>e very large after this year, but
there are practically inexhaustible
supplies on Bonanza and the upper
Iditarod. With the installation of
the power plant at Iditarod both
these sources of supply would be
available —the wood being rafted
down on the high water.

NEW YORK CITY
IS HUGEST PORT
j
New York city is the largest port
in the world, according to the
World Almanac for 1913. For nigh
200 years this honor has belonged
to old London, but now the great
city of the Western world has
wiesled her supremacy from her,
and she now ranks second.
In 1912 London’s trade amounted
to the stupenduous sum of $1,791.
857 641, but New York's total was
$1,793,690,123. The difference is
not great, but significant.
On the other hand the second
port in the United States is New
Orleans, with an annual trade ol
$224,230,797, while no less than
six British ports make a bigger
showing. The third port in the
world is Hamburg, and the fourth
Liverpool. A year or so ago Liv
erpool ranked second.

NEW KOYUKUK
TRADING OUTFIT
According to the Fairbanks Citizen
a new company lias been formed to deal
with the Koyukuk passenger and
freight trade. The enterprise will be
known as the Koyukuk Trading and
Transportation Company, and its incor
porators are Captain Langley, J. C
Kinney, L. J. Hackett and J. W. Mc
Cord, who plan to operate boats from
the Yukon up the Koyukuk, as far as
the river will permit.
As soon as the river clears two boats
will be placed on the run—tlie Dusty
Diamond and the Ben Hur. Both of
these vessels are well known; they are
of light draft, and well-fitted for the
Koyukuk service. Later in the season
the Martha Clow will be added to the
fleet.
It is understood in Iditarod that sev
eral parties will leave for the Koyukuk
during the coming summer, and doubt
less some of them will be glad to learn
of the new facilities offered for reach
ing that remote district. The fame of
the Koyukuk as a working miner’s
camp has spread far and wide, but up
to date its inaccessibility has been a
deferent to many fortune seekers.
With tite inauguration of a regular
service, such as is promised, there
should begin a new era of development
in the camp of the midnight sun.

I A, J. WEISS, FLAT CITY
j, Successor to N. N. Jaffa The House of Stein-Bloch Clothing
The regular meeting of the Idit
irod town council was held Wednes
day evening, with Mayor Baker in
the chair, and all members present
except Aehesou and Mutchler
Mr. Barnes said he had seen Mrs.
Clifton regarding the city hall, and
the lady had told him she preferred
it he r.ot left on tire lot, unless rent
he paid therefor.
Mr Bayles reported that the fire
hall had been moved into position,
and was now ready for the iecep
lion of the boiler.
Proposed New iVJail Route
Mr Bayles said that with regard
to the resolution he had introduced
the previous week suggesting a
change in the mail route, he had
interviewed several people regard
ing the matter, and they were not
favorably disposed towards the pro
posed new route. Therefore lie
thought it best to let the matter
rest for lire present, especially in
view of the fact that the postoffice
inspector was expected here within
a short time.
Mr. Holmes supported Bayles’
view. He had spoken to BobGiiffis
and others who knew both routes,
atrd had been informed nothing
could be saved by the change, as
the proposed new loute was more
difficult to negotiate than the one
now traveled. Griffis said if tlie
change were made he could not
possibly tender for the contract ex
cept at a higher figure.
The resolution was laid on the
table.
Street Improvements
Mr Bayles brought up the mat
ter of street improvements. He
suggested that the council author
ize the street committee to have
gravel hauled to supplement work
already undertaken privately on
Front street,
Mr Holmes opposed the sugges
tion He said he was there for
economy, and if they started grav
eling the streets at otre spot, resi
dents of other sections would have
a tight to demand that their streets
should be improved in like manner
He suggested private subscription
as the way out, and offered to start
the list.
After much argument, Mr.
Bayles’ motion was withdrawn in
favor ot the private subscription
plan, and Mr. Holmes made good
his earlier threat by handing over a
donation to the street committee
Mr. Holmes also brought up the
matter of dangerous sidewalks, and
the street committee will deil with
the matter.
Bills Rendered
The following bills were read a
first time and referred to the finance
committee: Jim BlodgeR, moving
fire hall, etc , $96; Dan Hartnett,
scavenger work, $1
Warrants were ordered drawn for
the following salary hills: John
Strelic, chief of police, $200; B. A
Meyers, clerk, $40.
After a discussion on points of
order, mayor’s right to vote, etc.,
the council adjourned shortly after
10 o’clock.
The new Albrecht residence on Otter
street, is completed and ready for occu
pancy.

A GAME OF WAITING
The poet’s once “Beautiful Snow” we began hating,
Its uselessness now “goes” without debating;
Deters the operator and laborer of participating,
Delaying our Spring stock, we are anxiously awaiting.
The Autumn, Spring and Summer is commercially appreciating,
But old the long Winter is sure trying, also stagnating;
Clamoring for excitements, though some prove grating,
Still, there is no out—remember it is a game of waiting.
We are zealously active in preparing for the Spring trade. Though a bit
premature, our newly-acquired show windows are dressed with designs of
modern mosquito life protectors, sprinkled among which you will note
some house-cleaning bargains marked in plain figures.
Looking in our windows won't, prove detrimental to you, but beneficial;
hence, take advantage of our offerings.

NAVAL RESOURCES
The World Almanac for 1913, just to
hand, gives the following figures re
garding the S. and Japanese navies
j respectively:
United States—Modern battleships,
' 29; other vessels, including submarines,
1 188. Total, 217.
Japan—Modern battleships, 12: other
j vessels, 173. Total, 185.
j While the total number of vessels is
| nearly the same in each case, the
United States has a sufficient lead in
first-class battleships to give an over
whelming advantage in any eventuality
that might arise.
