It is quite possible that no news
will be received today of the result of
the world championship game. Yes
terday was the only day on which the
Gateway received any outside mes
sages on the same date a.> that on
which they were sent. This was prob
ably noticed by looking at the date
lines which are never “raised" by the
Gateway. So, the result of the big
game, quite possibly, may not be
known until tomorrow here.

quarters at Mile “4 on the ear this

en this morning.

white birds and said he would have
ihot up to the limit if his shells had
not run out

the third meeting of the sewing club
held at the new school house this af
ternoon at 2 o’clock. The purpose of

house is for teaching the girls who

do fancy work. Mrs. Blue has kindly
; offered to act as instructor.
I.ocal Nome people are wondering
; whether the man burned to death in
, »hat camp is one of the noted broth
ers who took part in the dog races.
The name printed in the Gateway ap
| pearcd “S. Seppala,” but it caii.c over j
1 the wires as Singular Seppala.” As
“Singular’* was supposed to be a mis
spelling it was not printed, the initial
i letter being given instead.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sears made res
ervations on the Admiral Farragut.
On their way out they will stop off at
Juneau and spend a few days on busi
1 ness, after which they will proceed to
their home in New York City. Mr.
, Sears expected to be delayed in Sew
ard on business and leave on a later
boat but has been able to conclude
matters so that he could make the
Farragut.
Lee Considine and rrank Glacier, J
who went out moose hunting down j
the lower Kenai Lake a few days ago j
returned on the car yesterday after
noon. They say that the moose in
that locality are scarce unless you
want to go anywhere from 15 to 25 j
miles in from the lake, and that is
quite a way to pack a moose after he
has been shot. Mr. Considine left on
the car thi> morning for Mile ‘-0,
where he has accepted a postion with ;
the telephone crew.
D. Colquhon, one of the partners of
Colquhon and Riskol, came in on the

one of the biggest low grade propro
sit ions in the country. The same re
port says that the ore averages $6 a |
ten on a large body nearly 75 feet j
wide and extending over more than
five claim lengths.
11 r. Sloan think* the names of the
well known Seppala brothers at Nome
were Leonard ami Sigurd. If the
name of Sigurd is correct it is easy
to see how it could come over spelled
‘•Singular." and this fact rather sug
gests that it was one of the brothers
who met death.
Fred Stadler came in on the car
yesterday afternoon from Mile 26,
where he has been prospecting since
last April. He said the hills appealed
too much to him for his staying in
the city over one day, so he left for
that place again on the car this morn
ing. _ ,

The only people named Galt, so fai
ns can be learned here, who are well
known in Washington are the people
of the Galt Jewellry company. No
Norman Galt appears in the reference
books in this otliee and no one who
keeps in touch with Washington life
is able to throw any light on the
identity of the president’s future wife.
WEST FORK IS A
THRIVING PLACE
FAIRBANKS.—The most thriving
community in the Tolovana country [
at the present time is Westfork at the
head of navigation on the Tolovana J
river above the log jam. according to j
the statement of Tom Patterson, the j
Tolovana merchant. At the present i
time there are about 15 cabins there |
aside from the two stores, roadhouse, j
two warehouses and two sawmills, i
He attributed the growth of West- ;
fork to the fact that all of the freight
is being shipped that way, and must
be reloaded there for transportation I
to Livengood creek.
Mr. Patterson himself has one of
the stores in a 20 by 40 building. He
also uses the building as a warehouse
where he stores goods landed from
the boats on a 50-foot wharf built of
logs. Teddy Anderson is the owner
of the other store which at the pres
ent time, is established in a 20 by 30
tent—News-Miner.
NOME TAXPAYERS HAVE
GRIEVANCE LIKE SEWARD
Circulating Petition Objecting to
High Assessment But Fav
oring Hiuh Tax.
A property owner’s petition in cir
culation Saturday night requests th*
city council to postpone the levying of
taxes on personal property to the first
of November and also asks that hon
orable body to assess property “at
somewhere near its actual value.’
The petition states that the signeii
have no objection to paying a two per
cent levy on personal property pro- j
vided that they do not have to pay j
more than the real value of the same,
and the latter point is especially in
sisted on. At the time this interest
ing document was seen by the Nug
get representative there were some
thirty or forty names attached
