The past season in (.’ook inlet
Inis been one of activity, advance
ment and encouragement for the
residents and property holders of
that section. The output has prob
ably been the largest since mining
has been carried on in that district,
and more real development work
has I teen doue than evei before.
The Sunrise and Hope districts
are coming to the from as gold pro
ducers. The miners who have
stood by that country for the post
four or live years are deserving of
the success that is surely to tie
theirs, in the face of many ob
stacles and under many adverse
and trying conditions, such as high
water, low water ami no water they
liave labored long and hard, never
losing confidence in ti e country,
and now their efforts are to be re
warded.
The jieojile of this district need
and should have n n-cordcr at
Sunrise*, but ibis has Wen denied
them for some unknown reason
while Sunrise wa- in the first ju
dicial district. Now that ibis ja>r
tion ot Alaska eomes under the
jurisuietiou ot a new judge aim
Court, we feel certain that the1
Jieoj'le of Cook inlet will receive
some regard and attention by those
in authority.

There are breakers ahead for the'
basket hall club. They had a !
nice iug last week, ami one man ,
was ithnvcd to attend. Now eaeltj
member wants the right io specify!
what particular man shall have'
the privilege of seeing ilie perform-!
auee, and'.rouble is hound to fol- ]
low. It is ruiuorid that a once;
happy home is on the point ofi
being broken up on account of the;
club. The husband, finding ilia '
the door was not closed on all the!
men. considers the game'on frivol
ous for his wife. Fur her develop
ments wili Ik- anxiously awaited.
It is strange alia, a trifling affair
ail some times el ange the whole
eoursi-of a man’s life. For ins unco,
a familiar eha racer in the fox rais
ing hus;nes* on l’rinee William
Sound, rerun'.ly, while under the
infliu not- ui quinine, or some oilu r
• hog. detenu‘lied to go tu Kilamar
and ge* married to one of the Jap-:
auese ladies residing there. He
got his launch ready for the trip.;
hut discovered that he was out of
gasoline. He hunted everywhere
hu* could find no oil, so mi- forced
to abandon Hie rip. He is s: ill a
s ngle man. and alt on account of
a measly van of gasi I;r:t*. *
