A message reaching Henry Jacob
sen. manager of the Alaska Lighter
age and Commercial Co. from the
General Agent of the Pacific Steam
ship Co., today, reports that the Paci
fic Coast company will operate the
3,ono ton steel freight steamer Admir
al Sebree on the Bering Sea route, dur
ing the coming open season. The big
freighter is scheduled to leave San
Francisco for Bering Sea, direct, ab
out June first. The reason for send
ing a steamer of such large capacity
direct from Frisco is not stated in the
message. Mr. Jacobsen states that
the large quantity of steel rails at
Solomon, resulting from the dismant
ling o ftlie old Solomon river railroad,
may provide an explanation and the
fact that a large amount of timber and
other supplies will be required for the
Snake river harbor construction may
also be accepted as a possible factor
in the decision of the company.

Sam Dipple. a well known old tim
er of the district who was recently
taken into custody on what was be
lieved to be evidences of mental af
fliction. was examined in the Commis
sioner's court yesterday afternoon. At
torney Fred Harrison appeared for the
defendant. After considerable inves
tigation of the mental status of the
defendant, the jury decided that Mr.
Dipple is far from being non compos
mentis and rendered a verdict in his
favor.
The two Polar bear cubs captured
by a Spruce Creek native last week
after their mother, a huge specimen
of the species, had been killed, ar
rived in town Monday and are instal
led under the care of Wm. Webb.
The chubby little animals have at
tracted much attention. Their coats
are a creamy white; the hair is short
and somewhat wooly in appearance.
According to those who claim to be
to some extent familiar with the
species, the cubs are only about three
weeks old and were evidently born at
or very near the locality in which they
were captured. They are quite tame
and playful and drink milk from a bot
tle with an avidity indicating that it
will keep their custodian busy sup
plying their wants.
The follow’ng interesting items are
bulled from a letter reaching Thorulf
Lehmann from Lieut. H. H. Sharpe,
known to the majority of Nomeites as
"Dr” Sharpe, formerly of Ft. Davis.
The well known physician had just
graduated from tho Army War College
at the time of writing and facetiously
states that he "has been to school
again, learning the art of modern war"
The letter, which is dated at Washing
ton !>. C. November «. 1010, states that
Mrs Sharpe, who will be remembered
by many an Marshnlle Jones, daughter
of .1. I*. Jones of Shismavjff. has been
with her lc.lge lord throughout his tra
vels since leaving Nome and that thb
erstwhile Nome miss has developed in
to a “regular woman of the world.”
Col. Sharpe continues: "We met Loon
Richardson, who is a Captain in the
Air Service and stationed in this city, j
He has a fine wife and a big seven]
passenger automobile and lias been a
fine “pal.” He took me up in an aero
oplane about two weeks ago. We as
cended to 4.500 feet over Washington.
The Washington monument looked as
small as one of those pats of butter
they used to serve at the B. O. T. res
taurant. Leon had an accident about
a year ago (the aviators call it "crack
ed up”) and he now drags his right
foot and user, a cane. He has been
recommended for the rank of Major
and I think he'll get it.
Yours truly is now a Lieutenant Col
onel and I have a few pipy notions
about wearing eagles on my shoulders
iml becoming a full Colonel. The war
seems about over, however, and you
can never tell.
I am under orders for Camp Dix,
New Jersey, but have been told that I
will eventually go back to San Fran
cisco via Chicago, so our traveling
days are nearly over.. "Chuck”
'Jones is a member of the Student Offi
cers Training Camp at the Nevada
■University in Reno, where he hopes to
learn how to be an officer, tie says
he likes it as far as he has gone. He
has a positive dislike, not to say aver
sion. to Kitchen Police and guard duty
at night. The two, however, are old
established army customs and I sup
pose he will have to grin and bear it
for a while, ('apt. Mustard is still at
Camp Fremont where I will meet him
shortly. He is recommended for a
Majority, which I hope he will get
soon. No one plays “pan" out here
Sind we are both positively aching for
bne of the old times around the card
'table. The prices that used to prevail
in Nome during my stay there were
very easy beside what we have to pay
here at present. Butter 70 cents,
eggs, 73 cents a dozen •((’aid Storage
and rotten—^incipally rotten) fresh
| milk 17cts a «iuart and evaporated milk
20 cents a cun. Col. Col. Sharpe
sends regards to all old friends in the
[city, mentioning a majority by name,
and wishes them “nil the luck in the
world.”

Nuxated Iron Makes Strong
Vigorous, Iron Men and Beautiful
Healthy Rosy Cheeked Women
*
Former Hospital Physician and Me.'
iflol Exsmineor says that in three
wooks it Virtually Revitalized His
Whta System.
In a rocoat d.seourse on tbo sub
ject of Iron deficiency in the blood'
of American men and women Dr. H. B.!
Vail, formerly Physician in the Haiti-i
■lore Hospital said: “Throughout my
sxperlence on Hospital staffs and as
ItedUcal Examiner, I have been aston-!
labed at the number of patients who!
have vainly doctored for various dis- •
cases when In reality the deli-;
oate, run-down state was simply the
result of husk of iron in ‘he blood.
Time and again I have prescribed or
ganic Iron—Nuxated Iron—and sur
prised patients at the rapidity with
which the weakness and general de
bility were replaced by a renewed feel
ing of strength and vitality. I took
Nuxated Iron mj eelf to build me up
after a serious case of nervous ex
haustion. The effects were apparent
after a few days and within three
weeks it had virtually revitalized my
wh«le system sad put me in a superb
physical condition. It Is not surpris
ing that millions or people annually
are now taking Nuxated Iron and phy
sicians everywhere are prescribing it.
Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly
Physdclan of Bellevue Hospital (Out
door Dept.) New York, ^nd the West
chester Country Hospital, says: "For
want of Iron you may be an old man
at thirty, dull in Intelect, poor in mem
ory. nervous. Irritable and all run
down, while at 60 or 60 with plenty
ef Iran *n your blood you may still be
young In feeling, full of life, your whole
being brimming ever with energy and
vital force."
Former Health Commissioner Win.
j^JjfrMjj\^^^h^_C|ty^>^Ohicago. says:
Gcef That there (.tajf (Nuxated Iron) I
act* like magic. Is certainly puts the I
ginger of youth info a tr.cn. j
•[ am well past my three-score years
uud want to say that I believe my own
great physical activity Is due larcely
today to my personal use of Nuxated
Iran, and if my endorsement shall In
duce anaemic, nervous, duu-down men
;ind women to take Nuxated Iron, and
recoive the wonderful tonic benefits
which I have received, 1 shall feel
greatly gratified that l have made an
exception to rny life-long rule in re
commending it. From my own exper
ience with Nuxated Iron I feel that it
is such v. valuable remedy that it
should be used in every hospital and
prescribed by every physician in this
country.”
Nuxated Iron, recommended above
by Drs. Vail and Sullivan and Former
Health Commissioner Kerr, is for sale
by Lomcn Bros, (succesaors to Butler,
Mauro and Co.,) and Hill’s Pharmacy
and all good druggists on an absolute
guarantee of success and satisfaction
