(rambling has liccn stopped at
Nome, The j>roj>rietors of all the
games in town were served with n
notice, that acting under advices
from Washington, the district pd
torney would enforce the federal
law regarding (jumbling, and on
January 20th, there was not a game
running. This deprives the city of
thousands of dollars of revenue
which has been derived from
monthly fines. It is claimed that
the gambling houses■ of the city
have been j>aving their employees
ll ,000 a day in salaries, and the
withdrawing of this amount of
money from circulation will ser
iously affect the business houses.
Owing to the increase^ work in

To Kill All Pox Seals.
A hill has passed the house of
representatives, directing the sec
retary of the treasury, in default of
the conclusion of a Hindus vivendi
with (irent Britain la-fore the own
ing of the pelagic sealing season of
1908, to kill off the stalls on the
Prilailof islands, with tlie exception
of a small number to In: retained
as the neuclus of u new herd, after
the cessation of pelagic sealing. As
the natives of these islands will
destroy the young of the small re
maining herd for food, this will
mean that in a short time . the en
tire seal herd would la* destroyed.
The hill lias been tabled in the
senate.
Ed. Hardy, who worked his way
to Valdez as a deck hand this
spring, stowed away on tlie Bertha
and returned to Juneau, where he
had a great hard luck tale to tell.
Among other things he says that
the millionaires of Valdez jollied
him lip to the bar, sprung their hot
air stories and drank good ltoozc
at his expeuae. The facts of the
matter are that Hardy was thrown
out of nearly every saloon in town
for being such a rank hum. He
remained here until his face was
no longer good for a drink and
then stowed away for Juneau,
where the people are easier.
