pound- «»f mail, which it picked up at Bike
man. The Boyd brothers had brought tin*
eonsig.-mou;.' *. .vn the Inimko fr-un < >jiliir
in a small boat.
There were three of the weekly consign
ments in the I n. which it had been impos
sible to bring over the trail owing to in
ability to make the many river cros.-im;>.
Much of the second-class matter was in
bad .'-nape, having been repeatedly iked
in water. It was explained bv Tan B -yd
that the mail haul been caught by the
break-up in the upper reaches of the Kus
kokwim and had to be held until that
stream was dear < f ice. wlv. n it was floated
down by boat. 1:1 several places on the

keep it dry.

that the ste&mcr Wa.-hburn. with freight
for local merchants, had arrived here sev

However, grievances were soon forgotten

WIRELESS PLANS
A recently received issue of the ; airbank

deat of the Ala-i a Wirele.-.- C mtpany. ha
ordered tlie radio plant intended tor To
kolna to the scene of the new strike on the

cording to the latent plans of the company
the plant for TTmtn.i. whwh i- now a:
Bethel or ( n its way up th. Kv l-mL/vim,
will be installed at Tokotnu during the
coming fail. A telephone line to Ophir pr< 1 >

It is possible that if the Tolstoi develops
into a camp of any importance a plant xxill
be installed there later.
Apparently there will be no windo.-.- ; L nt
at Dikeman this summer, the White Pa-s
company figuring out that its bu.-iness can
be transacted through the aid of the plant
