NEWS NOTES.
Tom Hambright, the local rancher,
came in town this morning and laid in
a stock of provisions. He says that
the potato crop this year will be the
best ever. The young ptarmigan are
very plentiful this year in the woods
and a splendid season for this game
is looked for. Fishing is very good in
Bear creek. The fish are pretty
small, hardly over eight inches long
but are delicious eating.
Leo Anhauser and Elijah Ayres
went out this morning to Mile Six.
From there they w ill start tomorrow
morning for the upper end of Resur
rection river, via the Brewer-Hayden
trail at Mile Seven. They have to do
this as the river is exceptionally high
and it is impossible to go up along
the river.
The Palace Cafe is making consid

the difficulty. As a consequence the
loading was retarded for the day.
Ai. C. Chamberlin, the well known
Alaskan guide and member of the city
council, reports that several eastern
parties who expected to come up for
a season's hunting have cancelled

former hunting companions, on file,
who will be here to get their legal
quota of moose and bear, as soon as
the season opens.

Anchorage corner lot directly across

FAIRBANKS.—A stray flash of
, lightning entered the Summit road
house Sunday afternoon about half
past two o’clock, smashed up a tele
' phone box and leaped across the din
ing room into the body of Patrick
Driscoll the Cleary creek operator
with serious results. He was knock
ed from his chair at the table and
rendered unconscious for twenty min
, utes. His brother, who was with him
i enroute to Fairbanks to attend the
1 celebration, and C arl Douglas, the
proprietor rushed to his aid and by
artificial means finally restored res
piration.
j The lightning's whim resulted in no
| damage to the building, strange to

When once the streets are graded,
And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that is “there;”
When the trail is clear to Kenai Lake
Then we’li charter Ashland’s car,
And you’ll have a picnic as the guests
Of the Famous Palace Bar.

And swimming parties too;

Or that famous German Brew,
Just “talk, don’t walk” we do the rest
And it is not too far,
In 40 winks we land the goods
From the Famous Palace Bar.
