RETURNS FROM TOKGTNA
Cyril Wood, manager of the Northern
Commercal Company's Iditarod stores, re
turned from Tokotna on Sunday last. He
had been on his annual visit to the com
pany's store there.
Mr. Wood reports that the dredge for
Candle creek is expected on the rii- trip
of the Ku.-ki'kwim River, the new e. -< line
schooner recently built for the Ku-kokwim
trade at >eat:lo. She left Seattle on her
maiden trip on May 29, and will make two
more voyages during the season, leaving Se
attle for Bethel on July 1.3 and August 1.3.
The Tana, recently taken to the Ku k.
kwim by Captain Langley, will make con
nections with the new vessel. The dredge
will not be moved from the river to Candle
creek until fall, and probably will be as
sembled during the winter and be ready
for operation in the spring of 1917.

DEPUTY CLERK OF COURT
TO BE RETAINED HERE
Judge Charles K. Bunnell of the < 1 i ! r:or
court informs The Pioneer that he is in re
ceipt of a telegram from the department of
justice in which he is authorized to use
his own judgment with reference to con
tinuance of the office of deputy clerk of
the district court in this city, and uPo with
reference to future court terms here.
It appears that orders were issued some
time ago for the discontinuance of the
deputy clerkship, but that .fudge Bunnell
acquainted the department with the needs
of this city and district and suggested the
revocation of the order. This was done.
With regard to future terms of court in
Iditarod Judge Bunnell states that they will
depend entirely upon the busine-s before
the court, and that the terms will be :.r
ranged with a view to expediting litieati u:
much a-* possible. Should it be neces
Mjry in order to accomplish this to hold :
term of court here, it will be held.

Bunnell has been taken up with listening
to testimony and arguments in the cases
of Marslon vs. Marston and Mandley vs.
ttie Yukon Gold Company. The latter has
been tried before a jury and the former by
the court without a jury.
The ease of Lottie R. Marston vs. M. II. |
Marston was set hr trial on Friday, the |

.-light illness of the \ laintiff. On Saturday

“BUCK” RETURNS
FROIil AM EXTEi
Among 1 ho returning parson ••■rs from ihe
Ou:.'iue who rescued I.ill i.u.tl early L.-t
Saturday n. 'ruing war (;. M. Atbuckle of
The iioio.r. who I -f t it. re last Scptcmh. r.
‘'Buck" marie an extensive tour of tit ■ coun
try ciuiing the fail and winter, .ml .-pent
some four or five months at hi- i 1 ! home
at Mar. I.sib Iii. It had been h:- intonth :i
to \ i.-it tile national Political c.un.ui -
before returning, but the extreme heat of
the Middle Worn was too much for a man
' of his avoirdupois, and he marie tracks for
the North before the appointed time.
After enjoying the luxuries of modern
travel in palatial si earn; hips, luxurious
Pullman cars and comfortable river packets,
die finished up his travels from the dock at
| the old sawmill to his hotel in the somewhat
undignified role of passenger in a push cart
propelled by two men. Thi.- was due t ■
the fact that a slight accident had tendered
walking impossible for him, and as it was
such an unseasonable hour (the boat ar
rived shortly after midnight, although it
was broad daylight), there were no
taxicabs or hacks awaiting the arrival of
boats. The accident occurred at Ruby, and
Coke liill suggested that it was the penalty
i for wanting to leave such a good town.
Just as he was going on board the boat
as she was leaving Ruby Mr. Arbuckle was
1 struck (in the ankle by the gangplank, which
was being swung on board, and he received
; the full force of “four Swede-power," as
| he puts it. Fortunately no bones were
i broken, but the foot and ankle were so
! badly bruised as to render walking impos
! sible without the aid of crutches. IIow
i ever, Dr. Ansley, who has been adniinister
j ing the hydropathic treatment, assure; him
J that he will suffer no permanent dis- biiity.
j “Buck’s” tour included visits to the ex
; position at Sail Francisco, and aiso made
I stops at various Texas towns and a month’s
stay at Hot Springs, Ark., where he re
! duced his weight thirty pounds. However,
he seems to have regained this and more.
Extending his tour to the Atlantic sea
i board, he visited Washington, New York
j and Boston, returning to Chicago and
I spending the winter at his home near there.
! While in Washington he renewed acquirin'
I ance with fellow-craftsmen in the govern -
j menr printing office, and met Delegate
j Wiekersham, who extended various cour
tesies to him. He aiso was entertained by
