Everyone Should
Sign the Petition
At the local postoffice, waiting
for signatures, is a petition to the
postmaster-general asking for the
establishment of a weekly mail
service from Seward to Iditarod
City during the coming winter.
This matter should receive the
immediate attention of every resi
dent in this country. Kach man
should make it a point to go to the
postoffice and put down his name,
not only that the plea for help
should be backed by the entire peo
ple, but should also be on its way
to Washington at the eailiest pos
sible moment.
The question of the need of a
postal service for a population of
over 2,000 people is discussed in the
editorial columns of this issue. The
route to Seward seems the most
feasible, and every effort should be
brought to bear to bring the atten
tion of the postoffice department to
the situation here.
ORR’S CAMPAIGN
MANAGER HERE
John M. Ousby, campaign man
ager for the Orr delegateship race,
arrived in the city last Thursday
and is already on the job, boosting
his choice and laying the lines fora
lively fight in the new camp.
PERSONAL MENTION
Among the recent arrivals I on the
Outside ate Dr. Stiretvalt and Dr.
VVortmann. The former, a surgeon,
has been practicing his profession in
San Francisco for the last 15 years. He
is as yet undecided whether be is going
to locate here or not. Dr. Wortraann,
a German physician and surgeon, was
connected with the German hospital in
San Francisco for several years. He
has located in this town and has his
temporary office at Fay & Ijoussac's
drug store.
Among the passengers on the launch
Flyer last Monday afternoon was Cap
tain Allan P. Gilmour, of Kentucky, an
attorney and well known in Fairbanks
where he has lived for nearly two
years. Just before coming to Alaska,
Captain Gilmour ran an eqciting race
for the position of city attorney of Lex
ington, and only recently was the mat
ter decided by the courts. He will
probably locate in this section and will
be found a decided addition to the local
bar.
A. A. Shenbeck, well known in the
Fairbanks district as a member of the
firm of Courtney & Shonbeck of Chata
nika, recently arrived here and is
starting business at Discovery Otter,
where he is meeting many of his old
customers.
M. P. Fleischraan, Rampart's post
master, arrived in town Friday even
ing on a short business trip. He was
accompanied by George E. Vergowe, a
recent arrival from the Outside.
John F. Baird spent a large part of
last week at his branch store at the
mouth of Otter.

Branch Mouth of Flat
Going After Road
Tax Delinquents
Having gathered in all the money
that soft persuasion could talk from
the pockets of the people, the gov
ernment officials are now about to
use the mailed fist and stick it un
der the noses of those who refuse to
pay their road tax.
There are a large number of such
cases where attempts are being
made to evade the law, but it has
proven unavailing in the past and
doubtless will in this instance. If
a man cares to go to law about it,
he generally winds up by paying
the tax and some additional costs.
Many feel that a hardship is be
ing imposed upon them, and con
fidently show their poll tax receipts
from Fairbanks and other cities a>
a bar to the payment of the road
tax. It’s no go, for you musl
come through again. However, il
you have paid your road tax once
this year then they cannot hook
you again.
The road tax collector is not to
blame because the government only
allows $4 for a day’s work, neither
is he to blame because the law says
you must pay a road tax. How
ever it goes to a splendid cause and
everyone should come through
without kicking.
Well-Known Dawsonlte
Meets Sudden Death
While working in the company
reaching shop at Ogilvie bridge,
just out of Dawson, Stewart Men
zies, a member of the engineering
staff of the Yukon Gold Company,
and a well-known and popular
resident of Dawson since 1899, was
suddenly killed on July 10th.
A heavy wheel under which he
was working, dropped without
warning, crushing him to the floor.
He lived but 15 minutes after the
accident.
Everyone in the upper country
knew Stewart Menzies, and his
death will prove a shock to every
Dawsonite. Since its incorporation
he has been with the Yukon Gold
! Company and was one of its most
trusted employes. He was a single
man and about 40 ye a s of age.
Thomas Maher, of the mining firm of
Maher & Britt, came in from Flat
creek last week and spent several days
attending to urgent business matters.
Dick Hussey, one of the best known
of tho sourdoughs now located on Flat,
was in town during the week purchas
ing supplies for his roadhouse.

FIRST LIQUOR
SELLING CASE
Charged on information by Johu
J. Donovan, United States deputy
marshal, with selling liquor with
out a license, Clara Sherman, one
of the girls of Otter creek, was
brought into town early last week
and fined $100 and costs amount
ing to $37 additional.
The defendant pleaded guilty to
the charge, and the proceedings
were short and to the point.
This is the first action of the
kind brought ir. the district, but as
near as can be learned it is not the
last, as the government authorities
contemplate a general crusade
against selling liquor in “blind
pigs’’ and sporting houses.
Judge Lyons Leaves;
Overfield on the Job
News has been received here that
Judge Lyons left Fairbanks on the
7th of July and that Judge Over
field was expected there on the
20th. In the same letter the an
nouncement of Cecil Clegg’s resig
nation as assistant district attorney
is made, and also that District At
torney Crossley is Outside.
From all reports then, it would
seem that Fairbanks will be free
from the watchful eye of the law
for a few days, excepting the kind
ly glance of Marshal Henry Love.
Card of Thanks
Editor Pioneer: Will you please give
me space in your paper to express my
thanks to those of ray mariy friends
who have so generously come to my as
sistance. I thank them all most deeply,
and wish them, and all others in this
new camp the unbounded success they
deserve. Neil McGregor.
