WEDNESDAY’S
DIE SMOKES
Owing to sufficient snow to
cover “the moss and niggerheads
that arose along the trails of this
inland empire,” Grant Murdock j
and Jay Johnston, of the Pio
neers' entertainment committee,
regretfully make the announce
ment at this late hour that it is
impossible to present Ringling
Bros.’ mammoth circus at the big
smoker programed for the Pio
neers at Moose hall, Flat, next
Wednesday night. But, as ’tis
said at the drug store, they have
something in the way of amuse
ment that is “just as good,” and
we believe they will have. After
a short business session in the
early evening, the hall will be
re-arranged for the fun, and
by the time the last stunt has
been pulled off the old “doughs”
will admit that they have enjoyed
“a right peart gatherin’.”

NOTICE—Having: secured the ser

SELECTIVE DRAFT
According to the latest information j
by wire and letter, received by the
local exemption board, all the names
registered in Flat, Discovery Otter,
Dikeman, Aniak, Georgetown, mouth
of Crooked, McGrath and Takotna will
be consolidated with the town of
Iditarod and handled by the local
board.
The instructions so far received are
not definite, but Major Albrecht,
secretary of the board, is of the
opinion that the entire lot of cards
from all these precincts will be made
into one list and given one continuous
serial numbering, so that all so-called
“red ink” numbers heretofore pub
lished will be superceded.
Advices from the governor of Alaska
are to the effect that the drawing of
names for service, for Alaska, will not
take place before the middle of
January.
Tha local board is made up of Paul
Laplant, chairman, Geo. W. Albrecht,
secretary, and Dr, J. Wilson Reed,
surgeon, and, contrary to the general
opinion, this board has no authority to
certify exemptions except for the
following: Actual physical disability,
holding a federal or territorial office,
engaged in the military service of the
United Slates, in the transportation of
the mails, or being the sole support of
certain dependents. Exemptions for
economic reasons will not be considered
by this board unless the present orders
are changed.

COMING AND GOING
The dance given by Eddie Kimball
last Saturday night was a real success.
Most of Elat turned out, Discovery was
well represented, and a few attended
from Iditarod. All entered into the
spirit of the evening, which was so
jovial it is hoped it will bo taken as a
precedent for ail those of the winter
season to follow. Not a little of the
enjoyment was due to the Hippodrome
hand, composed of stringed instru
ments, which appealed to one’s sense
of harmony and had just the right
volume for the ball.

The many preparations for the big
Moose entertainment and hail to be
given Thanksgiving, are nearing com
pletion. There wiil be a variety of
amusements. A programme contri
buted by local talent will he given at j
8.30 o’clock sharp. After this there j
will be a supper and dancing. Grant j
Murdock has charge of the affair, and !
as no effort is being spared to make
this a feature social event of the sea
son, all should take advantage of the
opportunity to enjoy themselves.
When Bill Sollibakke starts out for
a dance he gets there, at least before
the fun is over. He started out at an
early hour last Saturday for the frolic
at Flat. But fate intervened in the
nature of an accident at the culvertj
crossing three miles from town. The
sled caught on the crossing, due to
lack of snow, and the runner and all
the standees on one side of the con
veyance were smashed. Now Bill
was not daunted by this. He was only
chagrined at the thought of incon
veniencing the lady passenger. But
we know she counted it a real adven
ture and surely Bill atoned in sacri
ficing the first half of the dance to
walk out after the sled, and further, by
inveigling Ralph Button to spend the
best part of Sunday in bringing the
sled back to a state of perfection not
excelled by the “One Hoss Shay”.
Miss Hally visited in Flat Saturday
and Sunday.

The Yukon Gold Co. tractor made
its initial trip Tuesday over the
power plant road instead of along the
Kilgore road, owing to the fact that
the Kilgore wood is not yet quite
ready for hauling. The big locomo
tive is all that was expected. She ar
rived Tuesday night with ten cords of
wood, having dragged it all the way
from the power plant over the bare
ground. This is equal to fifty cords
with snow. On Wednosday another
trip was made hauling fifty cords.

Several ladies of the district who are
eligible to membership are interesting
themselves in the organization of a
Woman’s Igloo of Alaska Pioneers.
It is understood that l‘i is the required
number to secure a charter, and it
looks as though no difficulty would be
experienced in getting that many
ladies in this vicinity to start the good
work
