Fourth of July Paystreak
Fourth of July may nr.' he safely counted
among the producing crieks of the Ruby
district. Exaggerated n ports have been
going the rounds for -e coral days about
$5. and $7 pans being common; but the
truth is good enough. 1 red Swanson and
George Cahill have a twenty-tive-foot cross
cut on their ground \vh eh will go from
II to £2 to the pan. They picked up a
142 nugget in the tunnel the first of the
week. Swanson and ('ahill do not know
the width of the pay. but it i.-. their belief
Mid the belief of others who are familiar
with conditions that a paystreak of from
sixty to seventy-five feet will be uncovered
before spring. About seventy live feet
iibove the crosscut Swanson ami Cahill have
prospecting shafts from which the dirt pans
from 10 cents to 15 cents to the pan.
Some distance above Swanson and Cahill

to impossible to get less ’ban 5 to 7 cents

Joke on Coke Hill
Someone has put one over on E. Coke
Hill. Last week he received just sixteen
letters from Seattle children to “Now. please,
Mr. Hill, give me one of them dogs. '
It all came of someone who called him- j
self Ira Lee claiming to represent Mr. Hdl :
in Seattle with a string of dogs about New j
Year's. One of the boys who wanted a
dog reinforced his claim by inclosing the
following clipping from a Seattle newspaper: |
“Drives a Dog Through Streets. Nine of
the fastest racing dogs in the world mushed
over Seattle streets Saturday. They came I
from the kennels of United States Com
missioner E. Coke Hill at Ruby, Alaska,
to Seattle, for a six-weeks stay, live of
them will never race again. They were not
quite fast enough in the last Alaska sweep- j
stakes. They didn't win, so Commissioner '
Hill is going to give them to five Seattle
youngsters. ‘Money can't buy any of these ;
dogs, said Ira Lee. musher for the commie- i
sioner. ‘But he probably will give five of
them away, and it might pay Seattle kids
to write to him and ask for one.' Until the
New Year's .-now came Lee had to exercise '<
the racers in Seattle by hitching them to i
an automobile. The snow offered the op
portunity frr the kind of a work-out he
wanted, so they covered miles of s'ippery ;
pavement. The dogs are a cross between ]
malamute and bird jlog.”
Who Ira Lee is is a question that a cer
tain Ruby dentist who mushed Ou side this j
winter might be able to answer. However,
this is merely surmise, and there is no use
to jump at Conclusions.
In speaking of the letters he received. Mr. j
Hill said: “If I had a way of getting them i
out there, hanged if I wouldn't send those |
kills a few dogs, anyhow."

Postoffice Depr.rtesr.nt Said to Be
Planning Aerial Mail Service
Between Iditarod and Sew
ard and Other Points
Considerable interest has been aroused in
this city since the last Fairbanks newspapers
arrived, bringing word that Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson has called for bids for an
aerial mail service between various points
in Alaska, which are to be opened on May
12. The feasibility of this plan of carrying
mail in this territory has been conceded for
' some time past, and certain Iditarod men
have for months been considering the ad
visability of establishing an aerial service
between this city and Seward.
According to the reports, the post-office
department figures on having the service
semi-weekly and for twelve months in the
year. The call for bids stipulates for the
delivery of mail three times a week between
Valdes and F'airbanks; F'airbanks to Tin
naa, three times per week; Tanana to Kal
tag, twice each week; Kaltag to Nome, twice
each week; Seward to Iditarod, twice each
week; Iditarod to Nome, twice each week.
The time stipulated for the runs will be:
From Valdez to Fairbanks, not more than
two days; Fairbanks to Tanana, twenty
four hours; Kaltag to Nome, two days; j
Seward to Iditarod, two days; Iditarod to j
Nome, twenty four hours.
What Postmaster General Says
According to statements attributed to I
the postmaster general, this mail service wi!1 i
be the best that can be offered in any place !
in the world, considering the distances cov- j
ered. The department intends, under these
new plans, it they can be worked out, to [
sc-' that all the first and second-class mail
gets through, and if possible some of ihe j
parcel post matter will be handled by aero- j
plane. Since announcement was first made j
that the aeroplane service would be inau- j
jurated the postmaster general has had
numerous conferences with the makers of
aeroplanes and he is given the assurance by 1
them that it will be entirely practicable, i
noiwithstanding the extreme cold of some j
sections in the winter. Some of the manu
facturers are said to be considering the pos- I
sibility of passenger service in connection
with the mu', contracts, and if awarded
the contracts will build machines large i
enough to carry several passengers. j
The postmaster general is quoted as say- j
ing that ever since taking office the Alaska 1
mail service has been a cause of annoyance !
to him and his assistants. (It may be re- j
marked parenthetically that it could not j
possibly have caused as much annoyance i
to him as to the victims of the service.) He
has received innumerable complaints re- I
garding the poor service rendered, and rec
ognized the fact that they were justifiable
He has realized for some time that some
thing ought to be done, but has been o.u j
able to determine upon a means of irnnrov- j
ing the service. At last came the suggest- j
tion of aeroplanes, and after going into the
ma'ter the department has come to the
conclusion that aeroplanes can render bet
ter service and for practically the same
money as is being spent at the present time, j
La:t Week's Mail Ought to Cinch Plan
In the mail which arrived last Saturday
there was no Outside first-class mail, but ,
there was a considerable quantity of second
class, some of rare and ancient vintage. For j
instance, this office received conies of the
Seattle newspapers of September last, con
taining interesting news of the baseball pen
nant race. The same consignment contained
copies of the Pc ward newspapers of the sec
ond week in September. Magazines of Sep
tember and October were numerous.
It is explained that no connection was
made with the mail steamship, and there
fore the consignment consisted of left-overs
stored in the Seward office, of which it is
believed there is still a considerable quantity.
Much of this matter would better be dumped
in the bay at the terminus rather than to
be allowed to encumber the mails at this
season of the year. At leasd, as long as it
had remained in storage for such a lengthy
period, it could su^er no further deteriora
tion in value by being allowed to remain
until the rivers are open to navigation, at
least.
WILLIAM LEE ISSUES DENIAL
OF PUBLISHED STATEMENTS
The Pioneer is in receipt of the following
communication:
“Flat City, March f>.
“To the Editor of The Iditarod Pioneer:
“In your sisue of the 4th I was quoted as
saying that the natives of the Kuskokwim
would fight and quarrel for scraps of food.
The statement is ridiculous, and I wish you
would publish my denial of ever having
made such a statement. Respectfully,
“W. LEE.”
The Pioneer always has made efforts to
verify statements made to it for publica
tion, especially when they were made as
mere hearsay. When the article concern
ing which Mr. Lee writes was put in type
it was shown to several of our citizens prior
to being published. Mr. Stanton, on read
ing the article, called Mr. Lee by telephone
and questioned him concerning the matters
related therein. While the sentence to which
Mr. Lee objects was not specifically men
tioned in the telephone conversation, much
more was added in the way of depicting the
destitute condition of the natives which
was not published.
The information contained in the article
came to The Pioneer from a reputable citi
zen, who states that Mr. Lee not only made
the statements attributed to him, but re
peated them at a public gathering of the
Moose lodge. Another gentleman also in
forms The Pioneer that the printed article is ,
practically a repetition of what Mr. Lee 1
said.
It appears that the story was discredited
by persons familiar with the natives of the
Kuskokwim region, who assert that they
never witnessed such incidents as those de
scribed. While admitting that the natives
are in a deplorable condition, they say that,
they always can procure fish, which will
at least stave off starvation.

Jap Frozen While Making Fire
George Kagi, a Japanese well known in
Interior camps, was frozen to death about
fifteen miles below Tunana late in January,
and the Fairbanks Citizen says that it is
conclusively proven that the person who i
left one of the lonely cabins along the trail
without leaving shavings and wood for the
next who came is indirectly responsbile for
his death. The body of the Japanese was
found in a position which indicated that he
was trying to make a fire when the frost
reached his vitals. An unopened pocket
knife was lying by the side of the body,
mute evidence of the fact that the frozen
fingers of the man did not have strength
enough left in them to open it. The body
was lying in front of an open Yukon stove.
The evidence offered at the coroner’s in
quest showed that Kagi insisted on visiting
his trap line during the cold weather about |
January 20, much against the advice of the j
natives. Evidently he had intended to make \
the tent where his body was found, but
cold drove him to tie his dogs, which were
found about three mile- from the tent. He
had dropped his axe when about one-half
mile from the tent. He was plentifully sup
plied with matches.

Bootleggers Stand to Lose
Efforts are being put forth by the boot- '
loggers at Anchorage who were convicted of j
se.ling liquor on the property which they
purchased at the sale held by the general i
land office to held their property, according j
to a special to the Fairbanks News-Miner. \
When the property was sold it was with |
the distinct understanding that anyone con- |
victed of selling liquor on the premises I
would be compelled to forfeit their right j
to the ground. An appeal has been made i
to Delegate Wickersham to see if he can j
do something for the men. but he has n- j
plied that he can offer no hope. It is prob- [
able that the matter will be taken in! >
the courts.

Pioneer Women of Fairbanks Organize
On the evening of February G about j
.eighty-five pioneer women of Fairbanks met
and started the organization of what will I
lie one of the biggest igloos of the Pioneer
Women of Alaska. These women, early
settlers of Fairbanks, elected Mrs. J. Har
men Caskey temporary chairman of the
meeting. Mrs. Ed Herring was elected tem
-'orary secretary. The women then decided
that a constitution and by-laws should be
adooted, and a motion to that effect was
made by Mrs. Caskey. A committee con
sisting of Mrs. Caskey. Mrs. J. C. Kellum, j
Mrs. J. H. Russel! Mrs. Ed Hrering and j
Mrs. Frank R. Clark was appointed to pre- I
pare the constitution end by-laws.

Mo Indictments Against O'Connor and Mii'er j
In the case of William O’Connor and Ju- j
burn Miller, charged with the murder of i
Mrs. W. E. Rowe of Olnes, the grand jury
at Fairbanks nti February 1G last returned
“not a true bill.” MiPer was held on an- j
other charge, but O’Connor was given his |
liberty. It is said that the principal evi
dence against tiie defendants was that of
Ed (Baldyi Cairns, who testified at the
preliminary hearings that Miller had told
him that the two committed the crime.
Owing to the fact that this information was
withheld from the authorities for some time
after the crime was committed, and that
there was little substantiation of it. it was j
believed that it would not prove sufficient, j
The crime with which the prisoners wac j
charged was the murder of Mrs. W. E.
Rowe of Olnes, whose body was found on
the morning of July 20 last near the rail
road track a short distance from Little El
drlaro station. The defendants have been
in custody ever since the crime was do j
covered.
O
Eccentric Musher Frozen
The Unalakleet correspondent of the j
Nome Industrial Worker says that last No- j
vember a musher from the Yukon passed I
through that place on his way to the
Yukon. He did not give his name and l
never parted from his rifle. What clothing
he had, not enough to flag a hand car, was
of British make. The man passed St. Mich
ael up and headed up the Yukon in search
of a mythical sister and disappeared. News
recently received in St. Michael indicates
that he headed for the Kooslibuk country
and finally landed in St. Joseph Mission, in
Kooloruk, an Eskimo village on the lower
Yukon. The mission tried to induce him
to stay, but after he was fitted out with
clothes, parka, etc., he started for Negus’
trading station and froze to death. He was
a man about 40 years of age, of medium
height, slim, with light gray eyes of shifting
elance, of sandy complexion, and wore a
Vandyke beard and mustache.
The governor’s office at Juneau is in re
ceipt of an inquiry for information a: ' a
the whereabouts of John Sherman Bickcfi
and Otto Eugene Bickel, who are supposed
to be in Alaska. Their descriptions are as
follows: John Sherman Bickel—Six feet
in height, blue eyes, light, straight hair,
smooth-shaven, a little near-sighted; about
42 years of age. Otto Eugene Bickel
About six feet in height, blue eyes, lighl,
straight huir, smooth-shaven; age not given.
Information concerning these men should be
sent to the governor at Juneau.

Lewis River Prospects
Latest reports from the Lewis river coun
try indicate that quite a little placer camp
will develop there, according to the An
chorage Pioneer of February 12. Lewis
river Hows into Cook inlet some twenty
miles south of the mouth of the Susitna
river, and is reached by launch from An
chorage in less than a day’s travel. The
winter route is via Knik and Susitna. Per
haps the most promising discovery is that
made by F. C. Rowe, who sunk a shaft
eight feet in depth and is reported to have
uncovered good pay gravel. Andrew Chit
tick, who in company with Sam Wagenr
discovered the Lewis river placers, has
bonded his holdings to Spaulding & Lane,
who recently departed from Anchorage en
route to that section. Spaulding was on.i
of the original locators in the Nome fields,
and held some valuable ground.
A
Fatal Firs at Chatanika
l ire which is believed to have originated
from a candle destroyed a cabin and caused
the death of Erick Ivor Heggbloom of Chat
anika on the night of February 17. While
it has been impossible to learn in what
manner the fire started, it is believed that
the young man, who was but 22 years of
age, left his brother’s cabin and went to his
own place about 10:45 o’clock, where he
lighted a candle and sat down on s box
near the stove and went to sleep, while the
candle burned so low that the table caught
fire. From the position of the unfortunate
man's body when found it is believed that
he never awakened, and that he died in
:he position in which he was sitting. His
body was on the floor of the cabin, end in
such position that it is believed he fell to
the floor after becoming unconscious.

CLERGY WANT TO ENLIST
LONDON, Feb. 7. The petition which
over a thousand curates in London are pre
er.ting to the bishop of London brings to
a fre>-:h stage the question as to whether
clergymen of the established church should
be ail wed to enlist. According to the
rule of the Anglican church, priests are for
bidden to serve in the fighting forces, ex
cept as chaplains or non-combatants. The
clergymen signing the petition to the bish
ops are of military age and would have en
listed long ago, they say, but for violating
the law of the church.
A discussion has been carried on in the
open letter columns of the newspapers for
some time in this regard. Opposition to
enlistment by the archbishop of Canter
bury, end the various bishops, rests on the
theory that by ordination the clergyman is
dedicated forever to God’s service, and that
the profession of a soldier is incompatible
with the priesthood. This finds some sup
port in the church and laity. But the
more popular point of view is that there
arc wars often based on righteousness and
self-sacrifice for a righteous cause is one
of the ideals of the church.
“They tell their people every day," writes
one clergyman, “that every man who offers
himself as a soldier saves the lives of many
of his countrymen; it is therefore neces
sary, if more and more lives are to be saved,
that more and more men must offer. We
also ere preaching that this is a righteous
war.” He then asks:
“Should not the clergy lead in the pro
motion of righteousness? And if it is true
that by the war the principle of righteous
ness will be more firmly established than
ever before, is not that a work fit for a
priest, or even a bishop?”
