WADA MAY GO
ON LONG MUSH
Early last week Wada the Jap, fa
mous as one of the greatest tnushers
that ever hit the North, was reported
at Georgetown, having come from the
vicinity of Good News Bay.
Wada had given it out t hat he was
bound to the Aniak, but later declared
he had received news that caused him
to change his program and would go
Outside over the Seward trail. Some
people profess to believe that lie has
heard of the reported strike in Baffin’s
Land and is on his way to that far
country.
MARSE HENRY WATTERSON
OPPOSES WOODROW WILSON
Louisville, Jan. 29. — Henry Watter
*on, the noted Kentucky editor and
Democrat, has come out in vehement
opposition to Woodrow Wilson. Mr.
Watterson expresses himself in the
Courier-Journal as follows:
I sought another Samuel Jones Til
den, the-noted American statesman and
lawyer from whom a victory was stolen
by the Republicans in 1876, after be
was duly elected President. I wanted
to find in the would-be candidate an
other great man like Tilden—a Demo
crat first, then a statesman; but what
was the result of my investigation? I
found a schoolmaster instead of him
whom I sought.
Woodrow Wilson, we will have to
admit, is an eminent scholar, a great

educator, the highest type of school
master; but no more lit to be tho leader
of Democracy than poor old John
Brown to lead the army that was to set
the slaves free.
It is meet and fitting at this time to
commence to cull and weed out the
candidates so all can agree on June 25,
when the convention is to be held. In
breaking away from Woodrow Wilson
it in nowise reflects upon the man nor
the calling he has followed; but we
need statesmen in the white house, and
we cannot afford to substitute the
schoolmaster — the experiment may
prove too costly.

The A. B. smoker last Tuesday was
a great success. Songs, speeches, mu

fly by, and then at midnight the great
surprise arrived in the form of twelve
ladits, who mad* a social call to be put
next to what kept their husbands and
brothers out so late. Their arrival put
an end to the story telling, but a most
enjoyable two hours’ dance followed,
and a splendid lunch was served.

FOURTEEN OUTFITS ENGAGED
ON HAMMOND RIVER CHANNEL
A letter from B. E. Plummer dated
Dec. 29, received by J. E. Beattie, con
tained the latest information obtainable
from the Koyukuk district. Fourteen
outfits having self dumpers were then
engaged on the deep channel of Ham
mond river. Of these Jim Hastings
and Nelson were down 100 feet without
reaching bedrock—both getting good
prospects, Hastings’ pickups amount
ing to $10 a day. The other outfits had
reached ritnrock and were intending to
drift into the channel. The letter was
optimistic in tone. Practically all the
work in the Koyukuk is confined to
Hammond river.

WHEN ERUPTING
When the volcano Pavlof, on the
Alaskan peninsula, was in eruption
sometime ago, Danny Bryce was
at Unga, one of the Shumagin
islands, and he says that the snow
at that place was covered with
black dust thrown from the vol
cano, although Unga is 60 miles
from Pavlof. The captain of the
Dora says that the deck ol the
steamer has been covered in the
same mattnei.
The whole Alaska Peninsula is
covered with live volcanoes.
The force of the wind is so great
in that section that ordinary square :
tents are impossible, only the round
bell tents being able to stand
against the wind Kven the houses

being visible. They are said to be
very comfortable inside.
