At the present lime it looks as
though this district would have the
benefit of an automobile stage ser- j
vice during the coming winter.
Several enterprising business j
men of this city, realizing the great j
benefits to be derived from more
frequent and speedier trips to and
from the creeks than is now possi j
ble, are negotiating for the pur- j
chase of a powerful car which will j
be delivered here before the close |
of navigation,
During the winter of 1910-11 H. I
II. Ross, of Fairbanks, worked an j
automobile on the Flat City run, j
hut on account of that being an ex- !
ceptionaliy cold and blustery sea- j
son, he did not lay up many treas
ures, so be took his machine away
with him.
Dining the past two winters,
however, there was scarcely a day
that an auto could not have main
tained a regular schedule of tiips to
and from the creek towns.
The enterprise it worth encour
aging.

“Jakey" Jacobsgaard, who resides at
Fiat City, had an inspiration.
Jakey got the hunch that the Idit
arod district would shortly boom as it
never boomed before, and whilst more
restive persons were thinking about
stampeding to far-away green fields,
i Jakey got busy at home. Jakey bought
| a cabin which was standing in an out
of-the-way location, and hired a man
l with itorses to move it to a more prom
j inent site. Jakey had it dragged to
| the government road, at a point where
| it turns towards Otter creek—between
I Mrs. Phillips’ store building and the
Y. G. Co.’s cabin—and there Jakey
halted the moving operations for the
time being. When people asked Jakey
! why he was blockading the road, be
: told them that he had staked that lot
! years ago, and was just now putting
his improvements thereon. Jakey
somehow or other could not make his
contention stick, as he found others
who still had as much faith in the
camp’s future as Jakey. So Jakey
started to move the cabin down Gold
street, to a vacant piece of ground that
still belonged to Uncle Sam; but before
1 Jakey reached the spot a neighbor
had staked it and fenced it in. Now
! Jakey is thinking what he'll do with
: iiis cabin, which, at this writing, is
' standing in the. middle of Gold street.
