The following letter, recently received by Postmaster Thurs
ton, tells its own sad, sweet tale. It causes poignant longing and
tender nervousness when we reflect that maybe Lillian and “sev
eral of us" will be on their blithesome way to this cold country to
cheer our solitude and perhaps interrupt our barren single-wretch
edness. Just listen to this letter and cheer up:
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 21, 1910.
Postmaster, Iditarod, Alaska
Dear Sir: I was reading in one of the magazines that
a goldfield had opened up at Iditarod, and thinking that
there might be a chance to work there for a nice salary,
therefore take the liberty of writing you for information.
M hat I would like to know is whether or not there
would be employment there for stenographers, or if not
for that, then any other kind of work a woman can do.
There would probably be several of us go, if we thought
we could get anything to do. We did not know of anyone
else to write to, so thought possibly you could give us"this
information, and in case you cannot, can you kindly refer
this letter to someone whom you think can, or send me the
person’s name who would likely be able to, and I will
write them. I am very anxious to get this information,
and will be glad and willing at any time to reciprocate the
favor. Enclosed find stamped envelope for reply.
Yours very truly,
Lillian K-,
— Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, Minn.
On your way, Lillian, you can come none too soon for us. If
there is anything we need more than another, it is stenographers.
We need them when it’s sunshine, we need them when it’s gray;
we need them all the night time, we need them all the day. Sten
ographers are a blessing to any country, a necessity in every well
regulated household.
Tell the rest of the girls, Lillian, and pack up your little pie
box, for the swallows will soon be nesting again, and the soft
caress of Spring will turn our cruder fancies from the bleak hills
willingly enough to high pompadours and straight front that
should encompass any perfectly good stenographer.
But just a word, Lillian: When packing the aforesaid trunk,
pray find no place for the hobble skirt. Leave it in the old cedar
chest, stowed away with incense and with myrrh. Come just as
you are, remembering that this niggerheaded empire is no good
climate for the hobble skirt—it won’t fit our summer trails. And
those peek a boo socks. Lillian, leave them in the same chest
mosquitos will be powerful oad about the time you get here.
Yours for reciprocity in the sweet ultimately,
___The Religious Editor.
THIS SMOKER
WAS A SCREAM

There was not a poor film in the roll at the maiden smoker of
the Iditarod A. B- Club given at Ausley’s hall last Monday night.
There was something stirring every minute, and every move was a
picture.
The affair started with a business session, as nearly all such
things do, but ere long a fuse blew out, from high pressure, and it
became necessary to turn her loose.
Kemp’s orchestra was immediately put on the job, and the first
clatter of the drums was the signal for a burst of melody on the
part of nearly everyone present, It was melody for the most part,
except in some attenuated or bulging spots, and these places were
immediately remedied by a fine. If a man sung he was fined; if he

didn't sing he was fined. If he sung too loud or too low he was
dragged unceremoniously before the chair to receive a lecture and
get soaked.
Major Strong, John Duncan and Joe Smith in turn presided
over the revel, and were kept busy thinking of new reasons why
they should land on somebody.
In the meantime, some inspired person pulled a cork, and
shortly after everyone present was busily engaged in that old but
wonderful sleight of-hand trick known as turning a glass ol' beer
into a man. The unanimity and precision .villi which this clever
stunt, was performed was really wonderful.
Of course there were stories, and songs, single-handed and in
chorus. There were speeches, impromptu and otherwise, and
there were toasts to nearly everything under the sun.
E. G. Lindberg, Albert Wile and Bill Anslev as the entertain
ment committee had done splendid work, but after tilings got work
ing right the man who tried to follow the program would have bet u
laid up with nervous hesitation.
Seattle, Dec. 26—More than $10,090,
000 worth of gold has been received by
the U. S. assay office here since the
first of the year, according to a state
ment just made public. The total re
ceipts from January 1 to November 8,
from Alaska and British-American
mines, is given at $10,507,621.91. Of
this amount $9,309,109.75 came from
Alaska; $1,036,496.03 from British Co
lumbia, and $97,021.75 from the Yukon.
Other sources in Canada contributed
$84,994.41.
The small showing made by the Can
adian-Yukon is attributed to the fact
that the Guggenheims now consign the
output of their properties iu the Klon
dike to their smelter near San Fran
cisco. The output of the Treadwell
mines in southeastern Alaska is also
sent to the same smelter.
The customs receipts in Alaska by
districts shows the Tanana or Fair
banks district to be in the lead with
$4,141,407.24. Nomo follows with $3.
576,583.23, and the new Iditarod with
$787,497.87.
A supt 1 ro»nt?rv statement shows
that since the assay office was opened
here July 15, 1898, nearly 400 tons of
gold have been received. The value of
all the gold handled through the Seat
tle office during the 12-year period is
given at $1 '8,636,490. Oi this amount,
the Nome district contributed $45,840,
811, the Tanana $41,650,564, the Idit
arod $787,497 and the rest of Alaska
$8,688,868.

Victoria, B. C., Dec. 26—His Maj
esty’s ship Rainbow, the first vessel of
the new Canadian navy to be stationed
on the Pacific coast, reached Esqui
nmlt from Portsmouth, England, after
a run of seventy-nine days, of which 57
were spent at sea. She was greeted
here by a royal salute of 21 guns, after
which Admiral Kingsmill went cn
boat'd and was received by the officers
Wm. Templeman, as representative of
Canada, formerly took over the vessel
from the imperial authorities.
The Rainbow is a second-class steel
protected cruiser of IfiSOO tons and lias
been purchased by Canada from Great
Britain to be used for training of offi
cers and crews for the Canadian men of
war which are to be built in the future.
Another vessel, the Niobe, is stationed
at Halifax for the same purpose.
Mrs. J. F. Hunter who has been suf
fering from a severe illness, which was
supposed to be spinal meningitis, is now
on the strong way to recovery. Her
convalescence has extended over the
last two weeks, and although just able
to arise from the bed, the worst of the
attack seems to have passed.
