Puts Out Poison
Catches Leader
Under date of December 29th, Geo
Kilroy of the Upgrade association on
Flat creek, writes that some dam phool
has been scattering poison along the
ridges at the heads of Happy, Chicken,
Flat and Cleary creeks, presumably for
the purpose of laying low a stray fox.
About the only thing he has caught
up to the present writing is Kilroy’s
leader “Frank.” The dog died within
half an hour after running across the
bait, Kilroy writes in strong terms of
auch unmitigated carelessness if not
positive illegality in poisoning for fur
animals, atd wishes to warn all mush
ers to use extreme caution in approach
ing the region mentioned.

Road Commission
Favors Nulato Trail
This paper is in receipt of a message
from Commissioner Strangman at Nu
lato, saying that they are just in re
ceipt of news to the effect that the
government has allowed them an ap
propriation of 4500 for the Nulato-Dis
kaket trail. This means that the road
commission has decided that this route
is the easiest and most practical, es
pecially in regard to the carrying of
lh« mall. The Kaltag trail will be
used mostly for Nome travel, while all
up-river mushers will take either the
Lewis Cutoff or the Nulato trail.
FOR SALE—One 40-horsepower min

NOTICE
Begin the new year right by hav
